Is it an auto tensioner ? On my old car you just needed a 1/2" ratchet to momentarily pull of the tension. Let go of the ratchet and it snapped back into place. Might need a pipe on the ratchet for enough leverage.

Ha I just did this on my L4, it was much simpler. Just goes around the alternator, A/C, and on the tensioner

>>1105435
Youll need a wrench in order to move tensioner so that the belt will fit over it. Release tensioner and it will tighten belt. Of course it was easy to get it off without messing with tensioner because it snapped.

Also, apologies for my shit terminology and overall lack of knowledge. I'm a young first time home owner trying not to die via mold exposure.

>ice dam building on the windows from condensation
what do you mean?

>I didn't notice and ice dams building underneath shingles or water stains on the ceiling so I ruled out roof problems.
did you get up there and look?

>improperly sealed window
that's my thought; if there was enough ice buildup on the edge of the roof above the window, and it started melting and dripping right against the side of the building above the window, a bad seal could let water in....but it doesn't seem like it would have happened all of the sudden, rather over time

>>1105424
Dry it up.

Sprinkle some flour or sawdust around it.

Next time it rains, follow the moisture trails.

Just dig a hole, man.

Stick with the tried and true ceramic route. Adding the iron sand will make it conduct more heat outside of the unit, where you don't want it. If you're doing air exchange through it, consider adding a radiator and a pump. By having the radiator above the fire pit soak up heat, and another in your central air unit you could circulate heat to the rest of the house, relatively well. If that's your end game.

>>1105285
There's a lot of variables to ceramics, which is the reason for this thread, not because I'm wondering what form the furnace should take.

Also, the drain plug won't close tightly, no matter how much pressure I put on the pivot rod attached to the lift rod. How do I tighten that down? Do I need to screw the tail piece in tighter

Maybe you should try using the proper size O-ring?

>>1105156
When you O-ring can't get into the groove, use this to get it into the groove:

Try turning it inside out so that when it wants to revert, its force will want to roll into the groove.

Hows the contact point from the cartridge to the print head? You have some sort of "leak" (air exposure?) somewhere that caused some ink to gum up and the viscocity is now too high. Wetting the pads fixes it for a bit, but maybe you need to print a page or two of the problem color after you get it moving again to flush out the garbage? Otherwise, I always tell people to buy a laser monochrome from brother and laugh at the ink prices of plebs.

>>1105066
it's a black ink cartridge; it was filled the same way I've filled many others, and was kept in the printer...there is a small air hole for normal operation

I'll try soaking it and printing some heavy pages to see if there was any kind of buildup
it doesn't sit for long periods of time; I don't print every day, but it does get used at least several times a month (haven't had any problems with other cartridges going bad after that short amount of time)

considering the printer cost a whole $2 and came with what turned out to be a full cartridge, I'm doing pretty well
got a large bottle of ink for $10 or so, a couple syringes, and that's lasted several years now

>>1105082
How many times have you refilled it?
Ink has a way of settling.

Trying to make a scale for your mom?

>>1105018
Yes it will if it is perfectly still, but the moment it moves, the four plates will buckle because there is no strength to prevent it rotating at the joint.

>>1105068
late answer sorry, but what do you mean no strength at the joint?

which joint are you referring to brother

But...

I can find old ones on ebay, but they only go to 1.5 Ton. I need around 8 Ton.

Considering I saw a similar sign on the entry to a In&Out burger in Cali. Something about overcooked beef could cause cancer. probably not.
Hell, I'm amazed the warning signs don't have warning signs.

>>1104952
afaik there are penalties for not having it if you're caught with a product that has those chemicals and there's no penalty for just sticking it on there just in case, so they just slap it on there

>>1104954
They were talking about the cleaning products that are in use in the store, amigo. Its a blanket anti-lawyer bullshit thing everyone does now. Like how I saw a "choking hazard, small parts, not for children under three" warning on a dog bed that was literally a single piece of foam and a cover.

OP here.
It should be more like 120V cause getting source of 20V by 2AMPs is not easy.
But maybe laptop adapter could be used. Almost all of them provide like 20V / 2Amps.

>>1104914
Why did you buy a soldering pen if you wanted a heater?

>>1104963
I didn't wanted just a heater. im thinking about future heater when this one burnout.
But i can see there is nowhere to buj this kind of wire, like 1k and 1 meter long and about 0,1mm diameter. I am condemned. Or to use 24V heaters and try to use some adapters...

The goto is hobbyking

Lower prices in the Asian storeally but slow shipping.

Faster shipping but hire price in the American warehouse

>>1104608
Use power tool batterys or a golf cart battery.

You can't just put lots of hobby batteries in a motorbike. With the amount you will need complex battery management and cooling will be needed.

filing isnt easy unless you have an electric rotary stone file like this.

You go to your nearest auto mechanic and pay him for his brake pad shavings.
With any luck he'll have a few gallons worth.

No clue, but is it really worth the effort when you can bodge an electric bicycle hub engine into a different wheel?

It is not only personal, for the university project

I know how to make it, the stator must be made from thin laminations made from special metals. An even better option is special powdered metal that is sintered. They seem to sell blank blocks of the same material that can be machined. Standard ebike laminations wont be good enough.

You will need a custom motor controller but there's no need to buy the silly $10,000 solar car ones either, diy is possible.

Let me know if you want more detailed info.

Change the water...

>>1104547


You can try schocking the pool, and/or hooking a protein skimmer up
But i would suggest
You need to drain the pool.

Bleech it.
Refill and shock.

Check the ph and stuff. Likely some chemical balance issue, or something growing in it
Or an issue in the liner itself.

functionally theyd have to be able to support twice your weight, much more if say youre rock climbing then you slip and fall 2 feet. A falling body gains inertia quick.

Our site has a policy on fall protection, i believe it just mirrors osha standards, but basically any part of the harness as well as the anchor point has to be able to withstand a shock of at least 5000 lbs.

5000 lbs is a little excessive i believe, but id do research on what kind of loads this hook will need to withstand. Youd hate to almost be on top of that 3 story house about to look in the bed room windows for your 16 year olf neighbor and have it give out.
