Just bought first apartment and need to know who the "Shakespeare of architecture/interior design" is so I can copy his style.

another analogy:
>Theocratic Age
d'Orbais / Michelangelo / Dante / Josquin
>Aristocratic Age
Boulle / Claude / Racine / Mozart
>Democratic Age
Pugin / Delacroix / Melville / Wagner
>Technocratic Age
_____ / Welles / Pynchon / Stockhausen

Fill in the blank with the designer's name.

All my plumbing has to fit under a door with 5/16" clearance (supply and drainage). This is because I'm incredibly autistic and don't want to leave my room (or maybe just because I like tinkering.

The drainage pump I'm using is self-priming and gets decent flow rate with 100psi through a 1/4" tube, but more recently I've been playing around with vacuum canisters which make it simpler to drain the condensation tank from the airconditioner and give the possibility to drain into container to make sure food or other debris doesn't get into the pump.

What is the purpose of all of this? To route water to your room?

And what the fuck are you doing with all that shit for a condensate pump? Run the water into the coils of your fridge and increase the efficiency at the same time.

Is there any kind of paper/paper-like material that:

Is transparent
Is able to be printed on (or at least draw on with ink)
Wouldn't interfere with a touch screen

Specifically, I was thinking about putting a transparent sheet on the display of my Blackmagic 4K with lines on it (rules of third, golden ratio, etc.) to help with shot composition.

I do tons of small home improvement projects throughout the year to get my house looking better and better. Happy to share some of my lessons learned and results and hopefully you guys can do the same. Who knows, we might even learn something from each other.

Today I installed a small ventilation plate in my bedroom. Right behind it is the chimney (double insulated tube) and the wall was getting warm anyway so I thought why not let that delicious hot air heat my room. It was also the excuse i needed to buy a multi tool. Managed to pickup a Black&Decker MT300KA for 75eur and 20eur cashback.

Install was easy, I leveled the ventilation plate and used a picker to mark the drill holes. Then i used the multitool to cut out a hole smaller those drill holes (about 1.5cm smaller) so i was sure the ventilation plate would cover the hole. Then installed the plate and presto done.

Went exactly how i hoped and i knew the multitool was perfect for this. Good start of the year!

I know jack shit about doing work around the house so this might come off as a dumb question but: wouldn't the plate let the chimney's smoke fill up your room?
>>
>>1107428
>delicious hot air heat
This is where you fucked up because it doesn't have circulation, you have put a hole in the wall for nothing
>>
>>1107430
the actual smoke is in the chimney pipe, which is double walled and made of metal. The "chimney" is the enclosure around that tube

>>1107431
You could be right, but wont warm air try to rise and thus create at least some circulation / heat transfer?

I'm making a bluetooth speaker, and I'm currently making a case for it. I bought a 2' by 4' peice of MDF, think it's 1/4" thickness. My plan is just to make a rectanglular prism and glue all the peices in place with gorilla glue. Also planning on spray painting it black, or potentially getting some hardwood to put on it after and then staining it so it's a nice dark color.

Should I use a different glue or is gorilla glue okay? Does shape really matter?

I also read some mixed reviews of MDF online so should I switch materials?

Gorilla glue is garbage. Its especially garbage with wood as it expands.

Regular wood glue will work better

MDF is fine, dont get it wet

Where do you buy bulk metal stock? Does McMaster Carr deliver to residential addresses or not?

McMaster will deliver anywhere, but their metals are overpriced as hell. Find a local place and you'll pay less than half what you would online.

your local steel stockists will deliver to wherever as long as somebody's paying and the trailer can fit.

a better question is where are you going to borrow the forklift from? an 8x4 of half inch plate weighs 650lbs.

Hello /diy.

I'm turning to you after google failed me. I'm planning to make a board with some Cherry MX switches and when I played around with my scope and probes I noticed that they bounce sometime.

I would like to get rid of it, and I kind of did with some simple RC filter. The bounces are nearly gone and very rarely reach a suspicious value.
I did my RC with 10kOhms and 100nF and I would like to know if the values or R and C matter, outside the fact that the RC time should stay the same. If I had used 100k and 10nF what would be the consequences ?

Thanks for your help.

It would change the rise and fall timing but keep the same pulse duration. Overshoot and drop will come into play when you get to either extreme.
>>
You can software debounce by sampling a few points in time near eachother and once all of them are 'near' eachother in value you can say the signal is settled and legit.

If try to smooth it with caps im pretty sure its gonna make your signal climb slower but seem smother. But isnt is likely that its gonna fuck your threshold voltage values up since it wont climb as rapidly?
>>
>>1107056
Who can it change the rise and fall time without changing the pulse duration ?
The only difference I see is the amperes passing through but the tension will be the same (or look identical) if the RC time is the same.

>>
>>1106988
Decide what style you are into: realistic military, sci-fi, steampunk, biopunk, post apoc, etc

Realistic: paint it black or match the camo pattern, sharpie with white pen a skull on it if you want

Sci-fi: Cut and stick patches of aluminium tape over it

Steampunk: glue some brass tubing all over it

biopunk: extract the bones from a chick breast, or left overs after you eat it, then glue the bone and tissues all over it, optional spray it red

post apoc: sand paper all over it, spray paint it brown, and then sand it off so it looks rusted

easy mode: black sharpie all over it

im adding an electric starting system to my generator. it comes with a charging system for the starter battery that consists of a coil (or 2 if you buy another and can double the amperage or the voltage depending on how you connect them) attached to the housing underneath the flywheel that use the magnet rotating around to generate current. want to use a cheap buck boost controller to regulate the voltage to a constant 14v as the voltage varies based on flywheel speed, but as this is for a generator the rpm should be mostly constant but still a buck boost would cover both bases if the voltage runs above or below 14v (no way to know until you actually measure it at speed).
>the coils face the same direction relative to the rotation of the magnet, this should generate pulsed dc so no need for rectification right?
>should i worry about voltage spikes or emi to the controller from the coils? what should i use to handle them?
>im going to add capacitors to the coils to the controller for trying to filter the output, but how do i figure out how much capacitance i will need or is it trial and error?
>any other things i should be considering that i overlooked?

No. Pulsed AC.

>should i worry about voltage spikes or emi to the controller from the coils?

Once again pulsed AC.

what should i use to handle them?
>im going to add capacitors to the coils to the controller for trying to filter the output, but how do i figure out how much capacitance i will need or is it trial and error?

Trial and error unless you want to be massively /sci/ about it.
>>
>>1107391
Why would they make ac if they were facing the same direction? I mean it not as in they're both facing upwards, but they're both the same direction across the axis. So the magnet would go bottom to top on both coils.
>>
>>1107438
Induced voltage depends on the change rate of magnetic flux density. Unless you figure out how to constantly increase the density (protip: you can't), you won't get dc from a coil

>bubbles

From what? Not getting the aluminum hot enough?

>>1106727

>buy aluminum and roll it myself

If I have to buy rollers I might as well make a furnace and roll my own sheets.

And then I might as well throw recycled cans into the furnace instead of buying aluminum.

I just bought a chest freezer, and I already don't like that I can feel the exterior chilled.

How can I add more insulation and what kind of NASA grade insulation can I add to keep my semen collection fresh?

I'm kidding, I know about aerogel and I also know its price but I am looking for ideas other than wrapping towels around it.

This. Take it back and spend a few more dollars on a better model or a unit that isn't screwed up. You shouldn't feel any coldness on the outside.
>>
>>1106764
I have a cheap model and it feels slightly cold on the outside of it.
I think its just the fact its a cheap freezer, not some defect.

I mean these dont even defrost, you have to periodically manually defrost them.

They work for their intended purpose. I have mine set at the stock temperature and it keeps my icecream hard as a rock. There is supposedly room to make it colder, and I have a ton of shit in it.

You cant expect too much from a 125$ freezer
