Nope. I bought mine for $320.
Its a bit bigger than the one pictured, but it really helps keep the workpiece at a good workable temperature.

Less time your piece spends in the forge the better.

I'd say you got a bargain

Technically, you can make a waste water hydro generator, but it will be rather low power. You'd be able to charge say a smartphone or some AAs rather easily I'm sure. Anything more than that will take some serious planning.

As far as powering it with water that isn't waste water, well, if you do that, fuck you.

>>1154961
The cost of making the equipment would exceed the money saved on your power bill by quite a lot. It would probably take you a decade or more to break even.

>>1154964
Hey, it's MY water, I can do what I want with it.

>>1154969
I bet I could make a small turbine using parts from my dryer to spin the shaft of a small DC motor. It wouldn't cost me much at all.

Also, do you think that I could wrap some copper tubes on a fan and pipe my cold water through that in the summer for free air conditioning?

First question: Why?
Second Question of mine and of yours: Why?

Third question of mine: Is that semen?

Looks like over watering and not enough sun.
It should be okay in a few weeks

> shunting power from the wall straight to ground.

This is going to shut off the appliance and everything else on the same breaker.

>>1163750
Why not use a Triac instead of shunting your power to ground? What is the end goal here. The triac would allow you to control the 120v with a 5v interface.

>>1163750
What appliance? A SSR could work.

>>1163697
Bro.. just... too drunk to reply good. Get 18650. Learn to lithium. Panasonic. Google.

>>1163698
lion's have too high internal resistance and can't provide the needed amperage.

Stop buying no-name Chinese crap.
That having been said, I would suggest all electronics. I have been buying from them since I was in highschool (late 80's)

Here is a direct link if you are very very lazy.

Replace all the steel with titanium

Needless to say, building an entirely new car body out of expensive materials is obviously out of the question.

>>1163479
Slap some grease on the metal, It will isolate the metal from the environment and still be easily removable with solvent.

>>1163460
Google it dumbass.

Take a solar panel, attach some form of load-leveling and charge management circuit, attach that to a USB socket, connect it to your phone, put it in the sun.

The bigger the solar panel the more it'll generate, in general terms at least.

For bonus points use the panel to charge a power bank instead!

Spoiler alert unless you get a decent sized solar panel and its baking hot outside solar phone chargers are pretty shitty

>>1163078
Are you sure it's not a potato peeler?

>>1163081

100% certain. i believe that it can be used as a potato masher though if one knows the correct technique.

>give young folks money with the hopes they'll pay it back
>no binding contract

Hmmm

>>1162869
It's not like I care much about the 500, I mostly want to help them, but I'm all ear if you know how to set up a binding contract etc. Just sign a paper with peoples name, address and obligations, I guess

>>1162873
The point is, there's a reason why banks do a ton of background checks and have fuckhuge contracts when they lend money.

Furthermore, there are hella laws about money lending.

At worst, you're gonna look like a predatory lender when you actually have to get mean about getting your money back.
At best, you're giving away money to people who don't have the means or the inclination to pay it back.

if you want to nail brads then your are better off in >>>/cm/

>>1162859
If you are making furniture and you are using a brad nailer please have someone kick you in the crotch. Being a poor fucker I have bought most of my furniture used and restored it. There is nothing worse than getting a decent piece of furniture and finding that the lazy fuck that made it used brads. They are staples retarded big brother. You can't get them out easily without doing damage, they don't even do their job very well and they look like shit.

The ONLY reason you would ever use them, is that using a screw is too much hassle. If using a screw is too much hassle you are either a lazy ass piece of shit or you are working for a penny-pinching miser that is more concerned with keeping costs low then producing quality work.

>>1162859
I got the bostitch. Framing gun brother also.

>SELF ENQUIRY

So have you found the answer?

>>1162811

Also, I tried to power one Tiva with another via the 3.3 V pin and ground and nothing seemed to happen aside from the LED turning on. Was this a fluke or is this something that can't be done?

You never cease to disappoint me /diy/

>>1162621
slow your fucking role. /diy/ is a slow board. give it time, your need for instant gratification is probably the reason why you cannot solve your own issues.
