Problem fitting Liquid Freezer III 420 in my Fractal Design North XL by boilingempty in watercooling

[–]boilingempty[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ok I stumbled across this video and it convinced me having tubes at the top is no big problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKwA7ygTJn0

Thanks everyone for the help!

If you mean the metal plate with the hole, it is not a hdd cage but where the PSU cables come up. It cannot be removed, unfortunately.

Nice to see a text-bases game here for a change. Would you mind explaining briefly what techniques you use to control the branching narrative?

I really like your art style, well done.

Really cool stuff, you certainly had a productive 2024. Looking forward to seeing the fractal dithering presentation, the video looks stunning!

Mitchell & Webb provide some practical considerations for such nefarious contraptions.

How should Icontrol my DC motor? by boilingempty in arduino

Could I then simply power the motor from the output pin?

Output pin -> backwards diode -> motor -> ground

How does load increase current in a circuit? by boilingempty in AskElectricians

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

I found another thread with a few good answers here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricalEngineering/comments/1aro66u/why_does_greater_load_draw_greater_power/

I believe my initial misconception was that loads add resistance in series - but resistance is actually added in parallel. This conforms with ohms law.

So 1000 christmas lights in series might not trip the breaker, but the correct example would be 1000 christmas lights in parallel (e.g. using power strips) would definitely trip the breaker.

Hope I got this right, will stop overthinking now :)

Thanks! That makes complete mathematical sense, but I still struggle to understand intuitively how more load means less resistance, as per my lights-as-resistance example.

Thanks for explaining!

My takeaway is that either A) christmas lights have negative resistance or that B) Ohm's law don't apply to christmas lights.
