this is not a question of retarded or genius, this is not an idea at all, this is just words thrown together, so between the two probably retarded

>>1142247
The idea is to incorporate hydroponics into the structure of the greenhouse. I haven't seen anyone do it but not many people are doing fogponics. If you do not understand the words I've thrown together don't comment, or ask for an explanation.

>The idea is to incorporate hydroponics into the structure of the greenhouse
that is about as good an idea as incorporating explosives into the structure of the washing machine, the big problem would be circulation of water and keeping it clean, see anyone can throw together words like this but it doesn't mean you are making any sense

that's impossible. the first engines were made possible after the advent of CNC technology (1950s)

>>1142216

The machine shop near me doesn't use CNC.

CNC in machine shops are still pretty uncommon unless they are more like contract factories than a machine shop.

The cameras are using a low-wavelength IR light. In order to change that you need to change the IR LEDs.

http://www.coparatech.com/ir_faq.htm

>Q. 800nm, 850nm, 900nm, what do all these numbers mean and why should I care?

>A. 800nm, 850nm, etc., refers to the wavelength in nanometers of the actual beams emitted from the LED. Really the only things that are important to know about these numbers for night-vision use is this: The lower the number, the more visible to the human eye the light is. 800nm-860nm are still fairly invisible. You can't see the beams, but you can detect a faint pink glow from the LEDs when you look directly at them. LEDs in the 900nm range are completely invisible but appear as weaker light to IR capable camcorders. We experimented with all ranges and found the 850nm IR LEDs to be the brightest for use with night-vision camcorders.

>>1142200
>>1142206

You can swap out all the LED's for longer wavelength ones like anon said. Or build an illuminator that uses longer wavelength LED's and more of them. 940nm is what I used when the local PD wanted an invisible IR illuminator for a bait car (had to custom fit in the dome light housing for stealth, didn't have to be overly bright because it was so near the suspect's face as was the camera.)

How do you wire these things up?

Asking for a friend

>>1142177
drill a series of hole in the shape of a circle and the cut it out with a knife

>>1142179
I never thought about that

what about

1. drill a pilot hole

2, get a hole saw and run it on a very low speed just to scratch out an outline of my hole

3. heat up a paring knife with the stove and cut it out

would this be the best way?

>>1142180

Run the hole saw in reverse would work better desu...

man, i feel like i could make a killing selling these shitty hipster trailers to retards like you OP, but i'm sure your dumbass doesn't actually have any money.

Floppy disks are EXTREMELY unreliable.

>>1141900
floppys are pretty reliable, in comparison to Zips - if iomega didnt actually invent the phrase 'click of death', they certainly did more than anyone else to popularise it. I am not seeing benefits of introducing Zip drives to your proposed setup, nope.

tldr, you depending Zips as electronic key? - better pray you ain't locked inside.

>>1141908

I'm not gonna be the one locked inside it.

Buy a shipping container.

>>1141739
Fucking pictures make me dizzy rebuild it use 2x4s and plywood or whatever post results. Kinda looks like like a creepy old rape shed maybe a fresh coat of paint and some new curtains too..

Turn into insurance, get settlement, rebuild.

For anyone wondering, it's to repair my canoe motor mount. Needs to handle a lot of stress.

>>1141706

There should be a metal supply shop you can contact in your area...

In most cases, they can cut to your lengths, punch, drill...all for you...

>>1141706

Why not simply add a properly shaped block of wood on the underside? You seem to have room for something like 5x5x20cm block, this should make the connection plenty rigid.

>>1141693
Clothes that you don't mind burning holes in obviously.

>>1141693
Leather would be best id think. Get an apron.

Go naked an get a nice tan line duh

That would be the obvious answer, but the thing is that picture is just semi-related.

The strips themselves are RGB

Picture maximum related

>>1141614
it could be the controller or power supply

Go to an RC hobby store...pick out plane kit, and other goodies necessary, build kit...fly...

>>1141600
This is not /spoonfeed/ so fuck off. We don't tolerate this kind of threads, there is nothing to discuss.

>>1141600
DON'T MAKE YOUR FIRST PLANE. Pick up a ready to fly (includes transmitter) or bind & fly (requires separate transmitter).

>>1141542
in the 21 century these are almost exclusively done in plastic or glass boxes

lots of people make wooden boxes for them out of plywood or OSB. this for example. but something tells me soaking it in nitrate rich waste reduces the service life significantly.

I'd like to keep it outside and it frosts here sometimes which is why i'd be building it out of wood, so I can have a two layer box and fill it with spray foam for insulation. wood is much cheaper than glass and has superior insulation properties $/area

>>1141542
Fiberglass resin probably. Don't even need fiber glass fibers. An old bedsheet will work good to. Just the resin.an fiber glass resin. NOT epoxy.

>>1141423
Just get some chink led strings, and a fucking Reed switch or microswitch that is normally open when depressed.

>>1141423
google is your friend. If you cant figure out how to do it from there, well i feel sorry for you.

>>1141433
i just dont know how to start searching, there is a lot of info about leds but i need something really simple and specific in a topic i dont know nothing about, so im just asking for a little guidance

>>1140945
Buy in bulk.

I got a box of 50 for $25 back in 2008.

Have you tried Ebay? What type of Nixies? Pic related is about $1 a tube.

>>1140945
Anything other than tiny ones or ones with odd symbols are rather expensive now due to everyone building nixie clocks in the early 2000's and using up the surplus supply. Good luck, nixie Anon.
