That Rheem heat pump has been abused. The run cap isn't supposed to be sitting in that box, it should be mounted through a hole in the bottom. The wire nut is not original. The red compressor wire going to the capacitor is melted. The side of the capacitor is wrapped in tape because the way it's sitting in there the metal side of the cap is touching the contactor coil wire (hidden under the tape). The entire box is supposed to be sealed under a top cover, so formit to be that shitted up means either it's had rodents in it or they've been running it with the cover off. My vote is no cover because usually rodents strip the coating off the wires.

It's been fucking abused.

Depends on what you mean by “make”

Actually, it's just carbon fiber cloth and epoxy, about as hard as fiberglass, which is easy.

Plywood is hard to make, you have to wait 100 years to grow the trees and you need to have equipment to peel the entire tree into sheets, and that's before you make the urea formaldehyde glue. Although anyone can make the urea.

You can get cheap carbon fiber for making arms from arrows and hockey sticks.

Not the other guy, but you're retarded.
Humidity impedes sweat evaporation, hindering your body's attempts to cool down and raising your core temperature. The more humid the air is the hotter it feels, there's a million perceived temperature charts out there.

Evaporative cooling has nothing to do with that.
Evaporative cooling will cool the bucket, and subsequently the room (slightly), but will not help you cheat your biology, fucktard.

It's a diy A/C that doubles as a suicide machine because he used dry ice instead of regular ice, which will quickly raise the CO2 level in a small room to dangerous levels.

I mean you probably won't die becuase you'll notice that you're being poisoned from the headache, nausea and breathlessness, but if you were asleep with it on its possible you would be unconcious before you managed to wake up and leave the room. Then you might die.

If its 30% humidity and you raise it to 50% to lower the temperature a couple degrees then its subjectively more comfortable.

Obviously don't bother using it if the humidity is above 55% already.

One cool thing you can do is to hook one up to the condensation drain on your A/C. The A/C dehumidifies and the evaporative cooler rehumidifies dropping the temperature a little more while keeping the humidity at a comfortable level. The condensed water is already below room temperature which makes it even more effective.

Some A/C units already do this, especially portable units which need a way to get rid of the water anyway.

I think what the guy meant is that it'd be pretty hard to be hurt by CO2 in a domestic setting unless you're asleep on drugs or something. When you hold your breath the "out of breath" feeling you get is your body sensing your blood getting too acidic from the dissolved CO2, so you already have a very good mechanism for detecting dangerous levels of it. It'd easily wake you up and get you out of the room. The danger of CO2 "in the wild" is sometimes not being able to get fresh air (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Nyos_disaster).).

CO2 is not inert. You can have plenty of oxygen in the air, but if the CO2 level is above 10% it will kill you because CO2 is toxic.

Death by CO2 toxicicity is not inert gas asphixiation.

[Anonymous No.1285358]

>>1285033
It would be a valid distinction if you weren't wrong about CO2 being a inert gas and about the mechanism by which CO2 poisoning is harmful.

CO2 doesn't kill by displacing oxygen, it kills by raising the acidity of your blood until it interferes with your metaboic processes leading to unconciousness and death. Exhaling CO2 is the primary why which your body controls the acidity of your blood. The reason you feel faint or even pass out when your hyperventilate is because you are breathing out too much CO2 and your blood is becoming too alkaline.

CO2 can be a poison, just like urea can be a poison. They are both waste products which need to be expelled from the body to prevent them from building up and POISONING you.

Even by that definition, it is still incorrect. All those gases can kill you and CO2 can kill you in yet another way those 2 gases can't. The term "inert gas" is context dependent, so I can see why you'd use that context, but even with that context, it is still untrue.

[Anonymous No.1285469]

>>1285465
And the second way it can kill you is specifically because it is not inert.

And it will kill you long before it asphixiates you by displacing oxygen. Which means that killing you by 'inert gas asphixiation' is really only theoretical, in the same way that a bullet to the head could kill you by lead poisong.

This is incorrect. CO displaces oxygen, not CO2. CO2 just increases blood pH and interferes with metabolic processes. Since this is a chemical process, the gas CO2 cannot be considered chemically inert in this context.

CO binds to your haemoglobin and prevents oxygen from being absorbed into your blood. And inert gas displaces oxygen in the air until the percentage of oxygen in the room is too low for you to survive. CO2 kills by affecting your blood pH.

if you want to get pedantic about it, yes, CO2 is not inert and raises blood acidity. however, CO2 will also smother your ass just like nitrogen or argon can, or any other gas that isn't O2 for that matter. (fun fact: you don't want pure O2 either, because muh peroxidation).

and while CO2 is somewhat poisonous by lowering blood acidity, you can somewhat compensate by either increasing respiratory rate to blow off CO2 (short term), or by increasing blood bicarbonate/alkalinity (long term).

If you leave enough dry ice locked in a room with you, the blood acidity is what will kill you, not the asphyxiation/smothering effect. CO2 concentrations above 10% will probably kill you regardless of how you breathe.

You can't blow off excess CO2 if the CO2 concentration in the air you're breathing is higher than the CO2 concentration in your blood, this is simple chemistry.

Breathing more in such a situation will only make the problem worse.

Looks a lot like a rectifier setup I did for a local extrusion company, so it doesn't seem that out of place
The rectifiers were used for anodizing aluminum extrusions, and their busbars were a very similar setup
Things were running I think 12V, 30kA. As far as safety went, all the rectifiers like that were behind a locked gate and everyone had to wear some sort of heavy protective gear anyways because the air would get really hot and acidic.
Didn't know much of the setup beyond that, but for each unit we'd have copper busbars at the end then fan out to aluminum busbars for cost, as each tank had approximately half a mile of 6"x1/2" aluminum bars

When I was working construction an old timer forman took the foil from a pack of smokes and wrapped it around the broken fuse.

I mean that ultra thin foil they used to have glued on paper for cigarette packs.

It works as a conductor and melts(not really but it breaks apart, it gets brittle and flakes) before anything gets really fucked. Not for all uses and not a precise fuse at all.

It's a resistor with a coil wrapped in parallel with it, probably as some sort of filter in conjunction with those capacitors. Your post doesn't make sense, since what is pictured isn't an axial RF choke but an axial component with enamel wire wrapped around it and soldered in parallel. Since putting two inductors in parallel with one another decreases inductance, it's safe to assume that the axial component is not an axial inductor or choke, but a resistor.
