Well, I COULD be searching /b/ for the occasional "richfag" that is going to give away a copy for a sharpie in someone's pooper pic, but no, I'm just not feeling the hype...

Noone? No? Welp, I guess I'll search for a book then...

>>901042
You would need a mold and some way to force melted rubber into it.

>>901042

Injection molding machine and appropriate molds. Then you buy plastic pellets I believe.

Peltier elements are so weak, why would you want to make one weaker?

Also, even at 3A, your peltier will eventually cost you more in electricity than buying a proper mini-fridge/AC/or whatever you are building.

The cheapest incubator I can find is of a shitty DIY design and will cost more than one year of electricity, the proper ones are expensive lab equipment.

A peltier element will maintain a temperature difference between the two sides, since I don't want more than 30º of difference it's better than a "buying a mini-fridge". If I wanted to buy one rather than making one I'd post in /g/, not /diy/.

>>900997

find the voltage where it draws 3A, adjust the feedback voltage divider in the power supply so that's what it will output.

if it draws 5A at 12.6v or whatever 3A will be somewhere at 11? somewhere close to that.

>>900907

What are you fueling? Is this just for heat? It's hard to assume what you mean, since this is /diy/, and I've seen some shit.

>>900911
Yeah like crude basic heating and cooking stuff nothing super refined. I'm interested in it.

>>900916
Wood alone is a great option. Its cheap, easy to get, carbon neutral and renewable. Look into efficient methods of burning wood, like rocket stoves, inserts, etc.

I'm guessing this is more of a /g/ thing, but what are you asking? Do you want to run/boot off of an external USB drive? it's possible, just not as fast. If you want to replace your internal 2.5 inch HDD with the 2.5 inch HDD inside the USB enclosure, that will probably work and also be faster.

Easy fix.

Buy a small size external hard drive with the same or larger capacity as your current drive.

Download clonezilla and read the instructions.

Clone your current hard drive to the external. using clonezilla.

Open the casing on the external hdd. Open the bottom of you laptop.

Swap the hard drives.

Close everything.

Push power.

If it dosent work then swap back your old hdd and re-read the clonezilla instructions.

I just swapped an old 100gb hdd to a 250gb ssd so i could upgrade to windows 10.

all portable hdd come like this now (usb is directly soldered to the hdd board). guess they got tired of people swapping out the drives.

Build a transmitter with a lot of power. Play music. Pay the FFC $10,000 two weeks later.

>>900858
But I need to know how to build a powerful transmitter from a raspberry pi

>>900860
>powerful transmitter from a raspberry pi
good luck with finding any process that doesnt involve throwing the raspi in the trash and getting proper equipment.

>>900816
what kind of rotary dimmer? like a lightswitch?
not a good idea uts not designed for inductive loads like a motor

you can use an autotransformer instead.

pwm is a technique not an object, the components you need depend on what pwm driver you buy or build but if it requires dc you will need to rectify it.

Op here. Is this how to wire it?

>>900816
PWM is still DC. As you can guess from the name, it's just variable pulses from 0 volts to whatever your max voltage is.

That's a tough one. Roommates? Are you Jack Tripper? If not, and you pay the bills, which I would not be surprised by based on your responses, either step up to the girlfriend or the roomies and use a thermostat with a pin #.

>>900783
New programmable thermostats can be passcode protected.
Buy, install new thermostats. Program it how you want, set passcode..

>>900829
>Buy, install new thermostats. Program it how you want, set passcode..

Then anon goes to work. Roommates remove his t'stat, install their own, program it how they want and set passcode.

reliability, yes harbor freight ones are cheap, yes you can buy several for the cost of a real bit... no, buying new ones and saving the money will not unfuck that 300$ figured hardwood board that just got ruined when your cheap harbor freight bit failed...

if your using it to fuck around with, or for regular around the house projects, then harbor freight is probably fine... professionally however you'd be better off with a better quality bit.

>>900772
Last longer. Cut cleaner. Run truer.

>>900798
Rust less. Bought a cheapo set of bits from HF causes I needed one right then. Put them in my bit storage toolbox and came back to them a year later, all were spotted with rust. All my other drill bits? Spotless. Even had a desiccant pack in the toolbox and those cheap pieces of shit STILL rusted.

this is assuming that wire is the same gauge (18 awg) and that the coil has the same cylinder length

>>900744
>coil has the same cylinder length
what??
half length is double current so depends how you wind it, further out layers contribute less to a field in the centre.

>>900750
so a longer coil would be more powerful?

get another carhartt, i replace my 10 year old one last winter. also i like the Duluth jeans for working around the house, they're thick material and roomy.

>>900756
Like a bunch of fags would know

>>900668
laser is the only way really

>>900677
No access really, what about a dremel? Would I be better on gluing the details on? Or carving it into the center pieces?

>>900684
>dremel
I wouldnt trust my hand or any bodys hand

>glue
glue what?

>carve
again, not trusting any hand

look, unless you have laser or cnc machine, this type of detail will take forever to make by hand, it is not worth it, it is 2015

>>900661
not without some kind of ratchet device in the middle.
like a sprung pawl that is at an angle and sprung so when you pull it one way it moves but pull it the other way and the pawl clamps the rope.
but just a knot? no i don't think so.

unless you count a taut-line hitch, a truckers hitch, a munter hitch or a guarde knot.

>>900661
Google "exploding knots" and see if that helps at all.

>>900661
Interesting cordage problem. Here's what I found. Your solution will probably have to be some variation of one of the following.

http://www.instructables.com/id/Rope-Tackle-for-Pioneering-Use-Truckers-Hitch/?ALLSTEPS

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versatackle_knot

You basically need to make a block & tackle using only rope.
