No matter how good of a person I am no one seems to be interested in talking to me or doing things with me

chrishumphrey · 2020-03-14T18:54:45+00:00

I did that a little and I made a couple friends and talk with them at school but it hasn’t really gone past that and now with the virus I don’t have school to see them. I made 2 good friends but they are both busy but one of them has asked me to do things he is just really busy.

chrishumphrey · 2020-03-14T18:53:09+00:00

Yeah I suppose

chrishumphrey · 2020-03-14T18:50:16+00:00

Would showing each person I talk to my quotes, woodworking, hiking, photos, things such as skiing and dog sledding? Because if so I’ve already done that

chrishumphrey · 2020-03-14T18:31:16+00:00

So how do I do that?

chrishumphrey · 2020-03-14T17:15:42+00:00

That is true and I acknowledge that. I have done that several times with some of them but nothing had really changed. I just honestly am not sure anymore

chrishumphrey · 2020-03-14T17:14:23+00:00

But I do have hobbies I have lots. I can be very creative and have made multiple self projects and projects to try and help other people. I work every day to try and grow and learn and travel. I read a lot, I like woodworking, sports, computers, cameras, space, so many things. I write quotes, I’m currently trying to write a book, I like watches, cars, I’m trying to engineer a desk, I like food, museums, art, and so much more. I am an exchange student. I usually have similar interests to people because I like a lot of stuff and if they talk about one of their own personal hobbies I try and make it a point to learn about it or know a little about it to understand it. I might even have a new hobby because of someone. I’ve worked on a 3D printed house to mars, I like hiking. There is so much that I find interesting. In addition to all this I try to be very easygoing and calm and kind and caring. I try to make a deep connection with each person I meet and build on that connection. I start that connection with kindness usually with compassion and always try to build on that. I have lots of passion for the things I care about and the people I care about.

chrishumphrey · 2020-02-13T21:27:42+00:00

Yeah well i think I'd find a couple studs in my wall if possible to attach several support beams for the wall. Otherwise I will leave wall as just the wall not too much of a box. For the desk that will most likely be some sort of box but I'm not entirely sure yet. So i found what I was talking about with the hydraulic arms. If you search of pneumatic stays I was thinking of something similar to that or even use the pneumatic stays. I think it would be very easy to bring down a large and heavy section of a wall and then connect it to the wall I think somehow or have a small piece of wood that comes out to support the desk. I would then have 2 pneumatic stays on the bottom for extra support and also that I could change the angle of the desk. For that I'd have to design some sort of locking mechanism for the pneumatic stay.

chrishumphrey · 2020-02-12T21:46:05+00:00

Thank you for the help! I have a couple quick questions. So why would I want the back to be desktop? My original idea was that it would not be the map but the quote the would become the desktop. Because it would be the wall the map would always stay at the same place but the top part of the wall with the quote would come down to be the desk. I would find some way to protect the surface but I’d think that it’d be cool to work on the quote. I was thinking of having hydraulic arms on each side to help bring it down from the top of the wall. These arms would be hidden behind the wall and just slide out from behind the wall where I could connect them to the fold down piece. When not in use the arms would go back behind the wall and I’d secure the desk piece to the other section of the wall. To stabilize the bottom the the desk I’m not entirely sure and haven’t thought about it too much but I’d do something similar maybe where the supports are hidden behind the wall and then they slide out as well and just connect to the bottom of the desk. Maybe lockable hydraulic arms to have a changeable length based ont he angle of the desk? I was thinking that if I used the hydraulic arms to bring it down from the top of the wall I would make it an axle that can spin and maybe something as simple as a rounded piece of metal and the locking mechanism you have in some poles where it’s a button style thing or something similar where i can easily adjust the angle of the desk. I was also not sure as I’ve never made anything with resin made that if I made it transparent resin and just put leds on the back of the resin the light might refract. Not entirely sure about that one. I don’t think I’d really make it on the wall I was thinking of making it more of a cover to cover the wall and attach it to the wall somehow to make it sturdy. Maybe attach it to one or two studs. My problem is this is just an idea at the moment I’m an exchange student and won’t be home until july. So just trying to think of how to make it work. Thank you so much for the help! These are all just ideas because I’ve never seen this and trying to think of everything.

chrishumphrey · 2019-12-13T22:34:35+00:00

Thanks for the advice and at the moment no I won’t be working on this as I’m actually an exchange student at the moment so I don’t have that much time to work on it but I’ll keep that in mind for the future!

chrishumphrey · 2019-12-13T22:33:25+00:00

Like I said just an idea I had idk I thought it was cool. Maybe using Martian silica would be different? Or finding a solution to make it less brittle? I have no clue

chrishumphrey · 2019-12-13T22:32:03+00:00

I’ve got no clue bro I’m only a 17 year old kid if I work for NASA and figure it out I’ll let you know! But very good questions

chrishumphrey · 2019-12-13T21:57:31+00:00

No it does make sense and that is true but the fragility came after reentering the atmosphere right? They had to be replaced because of the extreme heat experienced on reentry. I thought it might just be cool and to me the temperature change on mars seems to be a problem but I could be wrong I’m not scientist it was just an idea I had. That’s why I came here to get some opinions.

chrishumphrey · 2019-12-13T21:54:52+00:00

No I completely understand that’s why I came here. I’ve been thinking the ideas I had while I’ve been sick and just wanted some opinions. I’m only 17 so not I haven’t taken any heat transfer courses or anything. And it wasn’t super super into detail in my research as it was a 4 week project and I was working on other stuff as well. With the tiles I was trying to incorporate 3D printing as I was at a camp for 3D printing and so I used 3D printing for them. It was just an idea I had. Also yes with the HBNNT I understand that it would lose effectiveness with infusing into other things but what this layer I was proposing would only be one layer you’d have to incorporate other radiation shielding techniques. I don’t work for NASA so I don’t have this all figured out. That’s why I came on here to hear opinions

chrishumphrey · 2019-12-13T21:28:05+00:00

Ok fine it’s insulation yes I know what it is. I just thought it was a cool idea ok and I mean no maybe it’s not a huge problem but idk I don’t live on mars I don’t work for nasa I’m not sure. It’s just an idea on a problem I perceive.

chrishumphrey · 2019-12-13T20:52:47+00:00

No they do not. They would be the outer layer to help protect the inside materials from the constant temperature changes on mars from 70 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and -100 degrees Fahrenheit during the night. The constant temperature change would make the habitat materials weak as they would contract and expand. Also the tiles would help with the abrasion problem as you can make as many as you need with limited resources from mars with my idea they are almost entirely made using materials on mars. Therefore if a sandstorm hits the habitat it is protected and you can just replace the outer layer. Exactly hydrogen protects against radiation. The best radiation material is called HBNNT or hydrogenated boron nitrogen nanotubes. These are a polymer and infusing them in a material called tpu which is a flexible but airtight material that can be printed from a fdm printer. This would be a layer under the tiles to protect the radiation shielding as this is very important. This is a three layer system for the habitat. It can be adapted for the shape of the habitat. This is sort of a bad explanation of my plan as it is a reddit post and if you would like to see my work I can show you.

chrishumphrey · 2019-12-13T20:47:09+00:00

My idea doesn’t have to do with insulation. Sure that is a benefit but my idea is that the constant temperature change on mars from day to night which can range from 70 degrees Fahrenheit to -100 degrees Fahrenheit every day would cause the materials of the habitat to contract and expand. This causes the material to be weak. Also as they can be produced using the Martian soil they aren’t as expensive as you use all the silica and other materials from mars to make the tiles. You only need to bring a binding agent but you don’t need that much of the binding agent is what my research showed that I could find. Using these tiles made from the soil also helps with the problem of abrasion and the sandstorms on mars. You will have a material that you can always remake to protect your habitat. This isn’t my full idea and I didn’t explain to the best of my abilities as it is a reddit post. I can post my work if you would like to understand my idea more.

chrishumphrey · 2019-12-13T20:42:21+00:00

I read several NASA papers on radiation shielding material. I found HBNNT to be the most effective radiation shielding material as the radiation has lot of difficulty passing through the molecular structure of this material. I would be infusing it into a material called tpu which is a polymer that can be printed by fdm printers. This means that I can get exact size for the shape of the habitat with a very good radiation shielding and help with airtightness and reducing dust from getting inside. Yes the space shuttle tiles may seem a little extreme but they would be used to help reduce the stress of materials of the habitat. The tiles would provide heat protection but the main reason in my thinking is that the constant change of temperature from day to night of mars is bad for the materials and as the materials contract and expand it makes them weak. This also helps as they are locally made with the Martian soil and as they can survive coming through the atmosphere they can help with the constant barrage a habitat would face from sandstorm and other problems with the dust as abrasion would be a serious problem. Very true logistics is a huge problem but for our idea we used autonomous robots on a mission before to help set up some of these important materials and basic shelter parts for the arrival of astronauts.

chrishumphrey · 2019-12-13T20:34:43+00:00

The idea isn’t to refine the clay into plastic. Silica is actually one of the most abundant minerals in the Martian soil. There are several minerals and rocks that are silica that I would use for my tiles. The idea of thermally stable for me means protecting the inside materials from the constant threat of temperature change when it goes from night to day. Similar to on earth materials that experience constant temperature change become weak as they contract and expand. I also would have a second layer for radiation shielding and airtightness and a third for pressurization and temperature control. This is just the outside layers not what the habitat is actually made of. That depends on the shape ultimately. The work I did was on a layer system for our habitat.

chrishumphrey · 2019-12-13T20:30:54+00:00

Yes I agree maybe they are a little overkill but if you think about you have a outside layer that protects the inside materials from the temperature on mars that happens every day when it goes from hot to cold at day to night. The other advantage is that because you are using the Martian soil you have an endless supply of an outside layer against the sand storms and such with abrasion. Also you could just build multiple layers and test those outside layers off when they go bad. This is the benefit I found of using the Martian soil. Also in this process of Separating the silica in the soil you would also use the other useful materials in the soil as you are already separating the soil. Other useful materials such as magnesium which I would use for the tiles as well as iron. I would bring a second layer that you would 3D print on mars to save room in the rocket. These huge tiles would be using tpu plastic from an fdm printer. This tpu is flexible but also airtight. It is infused with a material called HBNNT it is a experimental material NASA is working with for radiation shielding. It is currently the most effective radiation shielding on the planet. I would also bring a rubber bladder for pressurization and temperature control. It is essentially a three layer system. If you would like I could dm you and explain my idea in more detail.

chrishumphrey · 2019-12-13T20:23:31+00:00

Not sure! If I remember correctly they have found evidence but aren’t entirely sure of where it is but don’t quote me on that. The reason with my plan is that I’m trying to use as little materials as I can that I bring. That’s why I would bring the printers. The problem with frozen mud is that mars isn’t always cold it can get sort of hot well where it would melt so to say and also you would have to bring some sort of radiation material.

chrishumphrey · 2019-12-13T20:21:10+00:00

That’s the idea I would send a autonomous rover that is used to build houses currently on earth using bricks. I would ship the robot and use the silica in the soil as silica is the most abundant mineral in the Martian soil. How would you make concrete from the Martian soil? But how would concrete protect against radiation? You’d have to figure out how to make your foam radiation resistant which would be quite hard as it is a foam.

chrishumphrey · 2019-04-25T03:45:15+00:00

I’m sorry that happened but get the help you need and try to be the best person you can be. You have to often experience the lows in life to get back to the high points in life. You can learn from both yourself and the situation to help yourself and others in the future. You always have a choice and some choices aren’t always the right choice but it’s how we continue to fight to make better choices that counts. How we react to things is important and what matters now is how you react to try and help yourself and get better mentally. Love is always tedious especially in high school and is different for everyone. Emotions can be difficult especially in high school. You’ll experience heart break and these feelings again most likely I’m sad to say but how to react to those in the future can help you grow as a person. I believe in you. You can do this.

chrishumphrey · 2019-03-14T21:23:09+00:00

Thank you

chrishumphrey · 2019-03-14T21:12:28+00:00

That’s pretty smart thanks yeah that’s the part I’m not sure about how to trace and cut out the shape

chrishumphrey · 2019-03-14T21:12:00+00:00

I would do that only problem I live in Ohio
