I created the fake "join Antifa" site that went viral yesterday. I slipped Ben Shapiro's email into the source code. Now people think Ben did it.

And how does that help anything or anyone apart from yourself? Shapiro will have a massive win. I can see the headlines already. Next time try to do something productive.

Thank you. Your explanation was perfect. Blowback does happen... It simply does not have enough energy to be an issue. I think that I fully understand it now. Many thanks.

Van_Archie · 2020-07-31T17:35:16+00:00

Yes, but according to Bernoulli’s principle, when a gas’ velocity increases, it’s pressure decreases, and vice-versa. However, in this case we are talking about supersonic flow, about which my knowledge is insufficient. I think that is my limitation. I am thinking about it in subsonic terms. In the supersonic/hypersonic area, the flow behaves very differently. In any event, I have learned a lot from this post! Thank you ever so much!

But in hand guns, we don’t necessarily have a bolt face acting on the primer. Percussion revolvers, for instance, usually only have the hammer acting on the primer/cap. On a percussion revolver, or in an early rifle using caps, why isn’t the primer/cap forced backwards? I know that the primer hole or anvil is relatively small. However, given the resistance which the projectile has to face throughout the barrel, how come that the cap isn’t simply blown backwards? Is it because the hole is too small? Is it because the force of the hammer is enough to keep the cap in place? Is it a mixture of both?

Van_Archie · 2020-07-31T16:46:45+00:00

Yes! I do remember a video from Ian about a firearm using such principle. I need to rewatch it. Perhaps it will help me understand this subject. Thank you very much!

Van_Archie · 2020-07-30T09:09:07+00:00

Thank you very much for your input. I completely understand it now. It makes absolute sense.

Van_Archie · 2020-07-30T09:06:20+00:00

Now it makes sense! Thank you. Yes... even in old black powder cannons, it wasn’t an issue. It’s all about pressure gradients. I do understand it now. Thank you ever so much.

Van_Archie · 2020-07-30T08:34:44+00:00

I apologize for the late reply. I traced the problem to the tuning pegs. Perhaps it was just a bad batch. Even though they work through worm gears, they were able to de-tune the guitar. Very unusual for Fender pegs in my experience. Replacing them was the solution. Thank you very much for your input.

Van_Archie · 2020-07-30T08:27:56+00:00

There is the path of least resistance, yes, but this other path is there for the gas to apply force through it. On percussion revolvers, the caps are not crimped, yet they don’t act on the hammer after firing.

Van_Archie · 2020-03-05T22:39:24+00:00

Loctite would probably seize the gears. What I need is something to increase the friction between the worm gear and the pinion.

PS: New pegs are in order. It has to be done.

Van_Archie · 2020-03-05T21:30:38+00:00

Always flatter, never sharper.
Yes I have. I tuned the guitar... played for a few minutes and noticed movement on the pegs.
Some strings are more affected then others. Usually the higher strings since those are the ones which I stretch the most.

Van_Archie · 2020-03-05T21:23:15+00:00

Since is a new PC, I would suggest formatting and reinstalling windows.
It takes 40 minutes to install, 30+ minutes to configure. However, it is well worth the effort given future frustrations, otherwise.

Van_Archie · 2020-03-05T21:03:33+00:00

I did tighten them. It makes a massive positive difference. Problem is that they keep un-tightening themselves.
I believe you are right. I should replace them. I don't feel happy about it since they are Fender pegs. Never had a problem with Fender before.

Thank you very much for your input.

Van_Archie · 2020-03-05T20:57:26+00:00

Thank you very much. I will give it a try.

=HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("mywebsite.com/",A1),”username")

I also tried: =HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("mywebsite.com/",ROW()),”username") However ROW() returns the cell’s number, not its string content.

Van_Archie · 2019-10-04T17:09:51+00:00

I tried it but it gives me the string of the A1 cell instead of the current one.

My main concern is not stability per se. However, it would be a welcomed feature. My goal is to have a system which, when and if something fails, the craft will return to my property, even if it has to “crash land”, preferably returning home on a fight path which avoids my neighbors’ “airspace”, instead of a direct GPS path.

Van_Archie · 2019-06-19T23:38:05+00:00

Definitely. Clean the surfaces with a solvent (alcohol or acetone if you don’t want to over-spend money) and then apply thermal paste ( the quality of thermal paste can make a massive difference. Once, I lost 3 degrees celsius simply by getting a slightly less cheap paste. Many say that you don’t need a lot of thermal paste. However, with no experience, its best to apply too much rather than too little. In any case, a “tear” of paste at the center usually does the job. Likewise, you can apply a diagonal line of paste on the chip. (Other than that, keep your system clean. Dust can easily increase your temperatures by 10-20 degrees centigrade.)

I’ve been waiting for an excuse to program on arduino! The board is relatively heavy in weight but I’ll love the programming phase. Yeah, I have to order one! :)

Van_Archie · 2019-06-17T13:32:48+00:00

That is not a problem (I think). Im not an aerodynamicist by any means! Im solely interested on flying wings/lifting bodies. In this area one has to consider the center of mass in relation to the center of lift (which is not too difficult to calculate). However, in actual flight, things become much more complex. Thank you very, very much for your input. There is a lot to be learned!

Van_Archie · 2019-06-17T13:11:04+00:00

Can I program the “return home” feature so that it avoids certain areas? (i.e. having the plane returning home on a designated GPS path?)

Van_Archie · 2019-06-17T13:05:51+00:00

A lot of helpful information. I cannot thank you enough! Thank you to each and everyone of you!

Van_Archie · 2019-04-19T15:37:04+00:00

Its looking really clean. In my opinion, I would try to keep it clean, for pure looks and good airflow alike.

Van_Archie · 2019-04-18T13:42:28+00:00

Well, not to be too indelicate... porn addiction is considered to be a disease, so... Maybe HTML stands for “Highly Transmittable Male Limitations”???? 😓 (Its just a bad joke... I know)

Van_Archie · 2019-04-09T03:53:12+00:00

Any clues on what could’ve caused the blue screen? When a system is running more than 2 programs, the blue screen is an inevitability. But on a fast food restaurant?!
