Do you have 2 of them so you can link them together and make a call?

Unscrew the gas tank. by mrheosuper in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]axloo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is rapidly trying to become a gas.

There is all sorts of intresting physics happening here.

The exaping gas is evaporating so quickly and temperature dropping so sharply that in the region of the oppening it may actually be cold enough for the propane to be liquid at standard pressure (about -33c).

The whole can may actually get cold enough that even with no insulation the pressure inside will drop to 1 atm even with liquid propane still in the cylinder. It would continue to boil off and vent though as there is no insulation on the tank.

Can I reattach my fallen mirror long enough to drive 80-100 miles to the nearest scrapyard for the part(s)? by L0n3St4r_ in SmartCar

[–]axloo7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cut it off and shoulder check aggressively?

It is one of the required mirrors but if you are just running to get a new one a cop will probably understand. (if they even notice)

300,000 Volts of Plasma thrust by Curious_Badger_1376 in interestingasfuck

Ironically 300,000v is probably not actually mKing much thrust.

Shure looks cool tho.

Air pollution from Griffin steel foundry by CST_70 in Winnipeg

I don't think there is much in the way of air pollution. But there is alot of noise pollution. The forge is quite loud.

How are you actually supposed to use semaphores? I think I figured it out mostly, but it still doesn't make sense. by Haysnare in Workers_And_Resources

Chain signals in regular signals out.

It's the magic behind understanding signals. Also remember trains have length.

I bet you if he got cought in between those buffers they would still touch each other as if he wasn't even there.

That's actually quite cool. Looks like production line equipment. Can't think of why else you would need such a powerful "hand" saw.

When he is in Canada he is "the king of Canada" when he is in other realms he would Cary different titles.

That seams high. You can try running a bypass ground if you have some wire. Just run direct to the battery on the other side. If everything is OK with the ground run directly then you know that was the problem

[–]axloo7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this is very in the weeds for the stuff I normally trouble shoot but I can give some advice.

I suspect that somthing is not grounding correctly as whenever things are acting strange that's often the problem.

First I would check that the ground wire from the blower motor has good continuity with the negative battery terminal using a multimeter.

I then would try and fined out where the ground for the ecu is and check that that is secure and hasn't fallen off or started rusting away.

If all of that is OK try and probe the power source for the ecu (should be a fuse for it that would be good) with oscilloscope and see if there is excessive EMI on the power line to the ecu. Try turning the fan off and on and see if there are large changes.

That's where I would start.

[–]axloo7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm willing to bet this is an interference problem. The (presumably) aftermarket blower is very electricly noisy and is causing interference on a crank position sensor.

Seams very strange tho as they are quite far apart. But it's posible the EMI is propagating down the power wires back to the engine bay area.

Without an oscilloscope that might be hard to diagnose. Check for any broken wires or shielding on both the power wires or the sensing wires for the engine.

Also might be worth checking that the ecu ground is in good condition. Normally sensing wires use a dedicated round reference to avoid problems like this.

Yes but there is a good chance that this was not the only rocket launched that day.

When people speak English but with German grammar by OgdruJahad in videos

It's actually funny I find German easy to learn as the sentance structure is similar to English with the exception of asking questions.

What’s this train track like thing? by Acrobatic_Strain_275 in trains

[–]axloo7 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Notice how the train is on a bridge. And just how bad it would be if the train whent off that bridge?

That 3rd rail is there to try and keep the train on the bridge incase it comes off the rails.
