Centrifugal clutch obviously.

I did something like this but I used a kit, not sure how that will work out but maybe check out bikeberry or other sites/shops based on motorized bicycles for ideas or parts. Even with a kit it was kind of a bitch to get working but they're a lot of fun

>>1188987
Was thinking this. Just wanted to see if an easier (or cooler) way was available. Centrifugal would take a bit of nigger rigging

Trying to do this as cheap as possible. If I don't already own the part, I wanna be able to get it from my local scrap yard. I'm good friends with the manager of the place so I get the VIP

Pillow block bearings are super cheap, depending on the size you need. If they are small enough you can get a pair for under $5 new. Even larger ones are only like 7 bucks a pop. If you spend an hour of your time trying to find a set and you make at least minimum wage you've already wasted more money more than they cost.

you could get away with aluminum for the pillow blocks. therefore, find some aluminum round bars and slap them on a drill press in a vice.

for the shaft, you should just find some round stock chrome plated steel, Just use a set screw to key it, because if you are this dumb, I'm sure you dont have any way to machine a keyway.

Both of these types of metal stock can be found at any scrap yard in raw form about 5 days out of 6.

This guy had a video of this if I remember correctly.. he used this to sand guitar backs?


Let us know how it comes out.


Also fwiw I've found pillow blocks at my local army surplus junk store. However results may vary

>>1188831
You're gonna need to find a company to come out and replace those tanks.
This is your water, don't fuck with it unless you know what your doing, because it can fuck up the plumbing and could poison you if you try something stupid.

>>1188850
the tanks don't get replaced, the media inside is replaced on site.

Found this video. Seems to be the same tech I have. Still unsure about the second tank, but it looks like replacing the media is fairly straight forward.

I know my Sulfide, Iron and Arsenic is high in my well.

>What is the elecrtical outlet section at walmart

Timer, remote, wifi-enabled app remote outlets, etc

Just take an hour or two and check what all your local Walmart sells that youd never think of next time you get a DIY urge.

Not OP, but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for home automation controllers. I just want to setup a security camera with "smart" functionality. Ie: motion sensor, notifications, etc.

It's easy enough to grow an ornamental avocado tree, but I wouldn't expect to get any fruit from it. A fruit on a mature tree takes six months from pollination to be ready. And the pit has only half the parent's DNA, instead of being a clone, so the fruit may be some shitty crab-avocado. Just buy them when they're a dollar or less or whatever is considered cheap where you are.

I see nothing wrong with this thread. Urine and composted feces are traditional fertilizers.

Grow blue green algae. Bubble atmospheric gas through it. Use it to fix co2

Things to watch for: pH of solution is going to get fucked because co2 will develop a weak acid. Also you need to manage sanitation and growing conditions.

Your farm should have a bunch of like 2litre or 1litre soda bottles setup so each one could be a sepersre sample/experiment

Select algae for co2 fixing and oil/fat production.

Sell it to Paris for climate bucks or process it into bio diesel or ethanol.

and you understand this is not like a bitcoin, it's a cryptocurrency but is essentially worthless, it's for tracking your good boy points and giving points to others.

But I do love it because it's been in sone near future SCI fi books lately.

re: 1188528

oh weird what sci fi books is this in?

yeah it's worthless but it's still an interesting idea


and hey in the off chance it becomes worth something (looks like it's worth a few pennies right now in some exchanges), doesn't hurt have any haha

1/2 pvc is not stiff enough to fly your rebel flag bubba.

Be sure to livestream whatever happens when you DO get the flag up.

>>1188209
Should I go all metal instead? would aluminum be good enough or should I stick with steel all the way through?

>>1188212
what do you mean good enough?
pvc pipe for plumbing has set size and wall thickness so its simple to say it's shit. metal pipe you can get in any size/wall thickness.
well not any but lots of different.
but metal will probably be ok, depends on the size/weight of the flag and how fast you drive.

how are you going to keep it extended?

bleach or just soap should do

because seamen isnt completely soluble in water (ie when you cum in the shower and its like eggs) you man need to try either more seamen or maybe saliva

>>1188105
drink the bleach!

>>1187815
extend the old one!

>>1187817
Well yeah, that's what I want to do. Just don't really know how to go about doing the top myself, as I have 0 knowledge of this kind of stuff, and my dad died so I couldn't have him make a new one

The whole area

About 30 inches between the supports and the 2x4s, so there are still studs I can utilize between the existing supports

I think if you fasten it at the top & bottom too, It'll be pretty solid without adding any more supports.

>>1187312
This is my hope, but I'd prefer not to put it up and have to take it back down to add more supports. Ugh.

Any OEM service manual (vehicles, more technical than Hayes)

CMOS Cookbook (digital electronics)
Pocket Ref (a wide variety of info like drill and thread sizes, adhesives, ect)

musical applications of microprocessors. i've been working on a DIY synthesizer and it contains fantastic information on the programming part and synthesis part with detailed schematics.

shouldn't that function be recursive?

I knew I forgot something

I would put a small chamfer in the inside end of the cylinder with a deburring tool or similar. The chamfer won't affect seal because it won't extend to the seal but it will "break" the sharp edge that's holding you back.

You can often use a worm drive hose clamp (sometimes with some shim stock to assist) to compress seals and piston rings.

If you do a lot of cylinders an automotive piston ring compressor is cheap and gets the job done.

I like this style

Bring it to batteries plus. Iirc also, lithium is better to fully discharge before recharging.

>>1187043

In the future, buy battery banks where the back comes off and lets you easily replace individual cells. That exists, now you know.
