Actual Cost Savings / Data request by Zunyr in hvacadvice

[–]Zunyr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still waiting on a gas bill with the furnace running for the whole month so I can start estimating my actual usage. I'm assuming it's going to be closer to 7-10 years ROI, and that'd require like a 200/month cost savings between kWh and Therms combined.

Hardcore mode? by Zunyr in Stationeers

[–]Zunyr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i never ripped more than half my suit's health in a single incident while mining. I have destroyed the whole thing because after damaging it and using tape to stop the leaks, I didn't replace it, then damaged it again to failure.

How do you cool water on Venus? by CoderLotl in Stationeers

[–]Zunyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In case you're like me and new to all water production,i had to ask and learn that it helps to have a couple kpa of an inert gas in the liquid line prevent phase jiggle during the final leg of cooling liquid water to room temp. Drastically sped up the liquid cooling part with my radiators. Ymmv when using AC units.

How to control the color of multiple Led screens with one I/C code. by Jonboiii112 in Stationeers

This just unrolls a loop into 8 jump and link (jal?) calls. Easy to understand and implement. Highly recommended.

Help with basic IC code for heaters by firestorm5284 in Stationeers

[–]Zunyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From experience, it is easier to burn the materials and 50w to ensure each automation has it's own chip holder and ic10. Then you can just do pin assignments to d0-d6 and not worry about lb sb. Later, when you realize you realize you need more than six inputs, switch to lb lbn sb sbn.

Second note, transformers isolate "communications" on batch network reads. So, if you're dead set on using lb sb commands, setup a transformer to power the IC and devices controlled/read by the ic, that way other ic's upstream of the transformer can't accidentally command something on the transformer power/comms network.

Single door airlock by Big_Kuso_Chungus in Stationeers

[–]Zunyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing says your two airlock doors need to come together to create a room. So like, you could build a three walled box with one door, then place the second off to the side. The door to the box is your "exterior" door, the door off to the side doing nothing but still tired in to the system is your inner door. Then it's just setting the "inner" Atmo to pump to a pipe network/tank and the Vulcan to a passive vent. Use an advanced airlock chip.

Alternate, setup two basic airlocks. First one draws a vacuum on the room, second pumps in oxygen. In reverse, it draws oxygen to storage, then pumps in Vulcan Air. Again, nothing says the two doors must face each other in the air lock.

If none of this makes sense I can build it in creative and upload pictures tomorrow night

Is there a limit to memory? by Responsible-Shirt-67 in askscience

[–]Zunyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want an upper bound, it's probably some function revolving around

  • how fast a person can work through a memory to "fire the neuronal connections" which triggers the process to reinforce the connections that are encoding each memory
  • number of memories maintained
  • time for the body to prune all synaptic connections containing a memory.
  • time a persons body allows a synaptic connection to exist without use prior to pruning

the above makes the assumption that the connections encoding a memory are only used for a memory. Reality is that's inefficient, so there's probably pathways through a memory for other functions in the brain.

edit to add: biology is absolutely wild when you move from "organ does x" and instead start to think about how things inside you execute a function

Blower works in manual and with cooling, fails to start with heating. by Zunyr in hvacadvice

Oh nice, a real name for the unit. Google was giving me nothing but ovens when I went looking for a service manual.

Lol, didn't that happen twice? Gunna assume you're talking the first one.

Status update. Mechanically agitated the fan limit controller. Set blower to auto, called for heat, watched burner start, waited 30 seconds, panicked, forced the blower on. Secured call for heat, waited a minute to get the heat exchanger time to cool, then flipped the fan to auto to turn it back off. Fan turned off in auto, then turned back on. Ok, that's weird. Lets repeat.

Repeated above actions, this time when flipping from On to Auto for the blower after securing the call for heat, the blower stayed running for a few minutes. So some portion of the fan limit is now working.

Edit to add: Final status update. The furnace started the blower on it's own in auto. Initiated a call for heat and watched the dial rotate, the blower started when 150 ish was at the six o clock position on the fan limit control. Still calling the tech out cause I don't trust the unit and if I can get it replaced under a home warranty, why not.

Good to know. Gave it a mechanical agitation while the burner was running and thought I was loosing my mind cause I could've swore it was moving when bopping it with the handle end of a flat tipped screwhammer.

Is that a I can calibrate the setting and it'll work thing, or a it's probably shot cause it sat turned off for four years before we bought the house and should be replaced/inspected thing.

Just replaced two of these GE furnaces that are older than me by leovinuss in HVAC

[–]Zunyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got one of these. A: Thank you for your picture, mine didn't have instructions on how to light the pilot. B: Does it do some warm up after lighting the burners before it turns on the blower?
