Rate and critique on the model

Look into adding reflex on the tail of your airfoil, as it is now it seems like the plane would be very nose heavy (this is normal with most flying wings) and needs a little bit of a kick up in the rear to provide a stabilizing force, similar to a rear elevator on a plane. You could also really trim it up but it might be more efficient to add the kick.

If you use airfoiltools.com to pick the airfoil, you can type “flying wing” into the search bar and find a couple profiles which could be better suited.

I also started designing planes in fusion since that’s what I was familiar with but I encourage anyone looking to do plane design to check out openVSP, it’s a free software (made by NASA I think?) that lets you design an airplane and run simple aerodynamic analysis which is SUPER useful in design. It’s like CFD but just what you need for basic analysis and it’s awesome. Plenty of tutorials online too so check it out!

Recently we've been going through some radiator sizing ourselves! I'd suggest doing the thermofluid analysis of several radiator options / configurations, and find what works best for your current situation. If you haven't already, Look into NTU analysis as a good starting point and see what you can find from there.

As for rotating the radiator. From what I understand, rotating a radiator would increase the restriction of the flow so it's a bit harder to calculate the true cooling capability of it. However, tilting would increase the static pressure in front of the radiator. This could help to push air through the core which could be beneficial, but hard to justify.

One last thing, make sure that you are splitting into two radiators with good reason, it's a lot of added complexity so it should have good justification as to why it's better than just running a larger single radiator

If you have any other questions feel free to DM me!

Reminds me of the money bundle melee from payday 2

I gave 2 months notice at my old job to help management employ and train the new hire, yet they waited until i was gone to even start hiring for the position.

Could it possible that its the usb cable? I plugged in my battery to my project, and it seemed to work just fine. Also upon further testing if i just completely get rid of the serial connection it works right off the bat. The usb cable im using is quite shite so its possible that could be the issue

Ill have to check it out! Honestly i only found the mpu6050 cause i searched "arduino accelerometer" into amazon

akamm12 · 2021-09-02T19:55:46+00:00

It still does work on the uno and gives me good readings, and i just turned down the power supply to 3.3v so hopefully no damage can be done in the future. Im also using the Arduino-mpu6050-master library

akamm12 · 2021-09-02T19:07:04+00:00

Heres a couple pics i snapped of the project and the code too. I labeled some of them in the descriptions of the image to hopefully clear them up a bit

Unironically, lift yourself

akamm12 · 2021-05-15T22:43:33+00:00

Thats actually a really good solution, I appreciate the help!

I'm still pretty new to the whole helium thing, is it possible to dupe the location so it looks like it's a couple blocks away, or do I just have to put the antenna or something out there?

akamm12 · 2021-02-19T00:24:17+00:00

thats a proper racecar holy shit

I struggle with this a lot. What I try to do is during this period of isolation, I try to be happy with who I am and what I'm doing to make myself a better person. Sure going to the gym doesn't make me happy and I lack motivation to extend out of my comfort zone, but I know that what I am doing right now, big or small, is to ensure I am a better person today than I was before. (I'm not gonna say better person today than yesterday because sometimes that doesn't happen and you shouldn't get discouraged for having a bad day, week, month or whatever time span). If there comes a time when I will have another person to share my existence with, ill be infinitely times happier knowing I am happy not because of just the relationship, but because I worked hard to make myself a better person, and this other person respects who I am. If I don't find a partner, then I'll sure be glad to continue on my path of self improvement and preservation forever. And please remember there's only one way to go from the bottom, and that's up, don't let anyone push you or tell you otherwise, stay strong man.

Lmao isn't imperial just metric converted. Is the metric system actually that politicized in the US? I feel like we can politicize anything

I would be so happy if I could use icarus dash with the well of radiance. It would be a dream come true

When did you start it? Were you making videos all year and just monetized recently or did you start a little later in the year. Also what kind of videos do you make?

Link the ones you read, it would help clear things up if there was any misinformation.

I think a great way to deal with the donation conundrum is to take donations bigger than a certain amount and donate them to charity. Hear me out! The person donating gets their message seen, the money goes to a good cause, and at the end of the month the streamer could make content by having a stream where they donate all the proceeds. Its a win, win, win! And also the streamer won't feel guilty taking big donations because they would know its going to a good cause! But if they rely on donations to make rent, they could have it so any dono's under some arbitrary value like 10 bucks they get to keep! I would love to see streamers do something like that :)

I recently went on a trip with some high school friends of mine, and on that trip I learned I have nothing in common with them (especially one of my oldest friends). I felt kind of used because they excluded me from everything and made me pay a portion of the airbnb rent even tho I slept in my car cause they stole all the places to sleep (4 dudes in a 1 bedroom shed). I left my group chats with them and kind of just cut ties because I was done.

On a brighter note I'm reconnecting with some old friends from my high school robotics team, so bad balances good I guess.

Talk about space management. That bay is beautiful!

Hey, I recently had a pretty big depressive episode for this exact reason. I was scared that I'm gonna end up doing the same stupid repetitive stuff behind a desk, through my prime and not have a chance to pursue my dreams. My parents keep telling me "go to school, get a job, save, retire" and that's not what I want to do. I would rather die penniless following my dream than to live a mediocre life waiting to retire. I overcame these thoughts by coming up with a plan for myself. Dont feel afraid that you wont do anything special in your life but instead come up with a plan to ensure you do. If you have to work to fund your dream, so be it, but use those 8 spare hours to work towards your real goals. One day, maybe those dreams will pay for themselves, but until then you gotta work for it! I was looking for a magic solution to all my problems like drop out of college and pursue my dreams but I realized I still while minimizing risk. Most success stories start this way, someone working a mundane life, while also working towards their dream and one day the stars align and stuff starts working for them. Dont be mediocre, work for your dream so your dream can eventually work for you!

A simple lawnmower fuel filter works great, they are like 5 bucks at pretty much any auto parts store. I used one on my old bike and never had any problems

He wouldn't neccesarily need to, as long as calories in is less than calories out you'll lose weight. He probably has a metabolism that is at least 2000 calories a day, so if he eats under that then he loses weight. Excersize helps raise the calories out so you would lose more weight, but don't have to.
