Replacing the lighting in my garage with all LED fixtures (a narrated slide show)
Переглядів 307День тому
No earth-shaking content here. I just decided to share the in-process photos I took while adapting and installing some LED light fixtures, replacing a single naked incandescent light bulb (plus the lights in the garage door opener). Maybe something I show here will be of use to somebody.

In this video, I describe Heathkit's first "low end" or "entry level" frequency counter, their model IB-1100. This turns out to have nearly the same circuit as the more professional IB-1101 frequency counter from the same time period, with just a few places where corners were cut to keep the price lower. In reality, this is a perfectly nice little counter, with very good performance, and easy o...

I'm struggling to understand why you are so disappointed with it and yet happy to muck around with that EXtech that cant even read the capacitance. The only annoying thing I find is the short leads but I accept thats how it has to be at 100Khz. I dont see a down side of not measuring DCR surely a multimeter would suffice for that.

    I don't know what this has to do with a cyclotron. A cyclotron has a magnetic field at right angles to the plane of the racetrack. And the moving particles are injected into a vacuum at the very center. And the particles spiral out from the center, gaining speed and momentum. Really nothing at all like this thing.

    Very interesting. Because the ball goes around the track at a constant speed, would it be possible to have both, or even more, balls in motion on the track? Would slight differences in mass cause them to move at different speeds relative to each other? What if there was a way to vary the voltage applied to the coils, would that affect the ball's speed?

      Glencoe, I thought I said in this video that I had tried two balls and they gradually migrated until both were adjacent to each other; maybe I forgot to mention that. Yes, differences in mass of balls will change their acceleration due to their inertia being inconsistent while the thrust from each coil is constant.

      garybrown, I tested my device in this regard. It would NOT start up in any position other than flat or nearly so. But if I got it started laying flat, waited for the ball to get up to full speed, THEN tipped the device up to about 45 degrees, it kept running, and indeed it would also keep running with the device fully vertical. If you could arrange one of these with a pivot, allowing it to be temporarily reoriented for starting, then I think the answer to your question is YES.

      egyrmexia1, where is "here"? Lots of places in "America" (meaning the United States) allow plastic cased AC "Mains" wiring in residential structures; it is often given names such as "Romex". But in the Greater "Chicagoland" area, it is common for municipalities to require that all mains power (permanent installations) be encased in steel, either conduit or flexible steel jacket ("BX", etc) [ALSO there is a local-regional requirement for the drinking water supply to be in copper pipe rather than PVC or other plastic pipe]. In my garage wiring shown in this video, I probably violated local electrical codes by using such long runs of BX in an accessible area where regular conduit could have been used. A few decades ago I would have bent conduit, or used straight sections plus elbows, but these days it was all I could manage to spend a few hours standing on a ladder installing it the way I did....regular conduit would have at least doubled the effort and time. It won't be a problem unless an inspector looks at it, which I don't foresee happening.

    Hey, I had already watched a few videos about this Speed-Feed trimmer, so I was partially prepared to install mine on a Ryobi Electric trimmer that I‘ve had for about 6-8 years. Anyway, I had to take the Stock shaft completely off my trimmer, but I had to take the New Head apart, remove the Black bushing w/the Brass metal bushing & using the White bushing w/the Ref metal bushing. I initially put the Black round gasket on first, but it was too tight. The Head would not move. Take it apart & remove that gasket & reinstall the New Head again. It leaves a gap of about 1/16-1/8 of an inch gap, but it’s closer than the stock head. Anyway, after reinstalling everything, it spins up nicely & reinstalling the Blue Twine was a piece of cake. My instructions didn’t help me much, just remembering the UA-camr videos showing me how to change out the Black metal to the Red metal bushing helped. Also, there was no Base-Plate on my Ryobi trimmer, unless I had already misplaced or lost it.

Not exactly what you have there, but it is close enough. I have the Weston 4440, which is just a smaller version of yours. I never used the thing and it was given to me by a friend who worked for UL labs. The old “C” cells still in it, and to my surprise not a single one of them leaked. I’m going to toss some new batteries into it tomorrow and see if it still works.

    I'm sorry my junkie phone, I was going to say about the whole entire experience, neither of us will ever forget that experience, and I really wish that you could have experienced it and it's the most raw form, as it was just a new thing, when we experienced it.

    Gladly, my sister and I were lucky enough to take one of the very first tours of this this institution, before it was all polished and shiny, and I will never forget it or will she, I never wanted it to become such the spectacle that it is today, even though I'm glad that it is somehow producing funds for something good I hope, but, I am sorry that you missed it and its beginnings, because it is something that , she and I will never ever forget. We both have very amazing photos of it but we were just so taken aback, and, awestruck, buy the whole entire

    I enjoy your videos. I have a question for you. I inherited Dad stereophonic stereo with a Scott tuner and amplifier. I going to try and restore it. Can you direct me to where I can get replacement tubes. Some of the tubes seem to be out or do they still make tubes? I appreciate all the help I can get since I’m not too electronic oriented. I believe he bought it back in the late fifties. Take care 🙏🙏🙏

      User.....do what everyone else does. Google the part number of the tube(s) you need and/or search eBay.

    That power transistor - Would it be possible to drill a hole in the backplate and mount it with wires? Have bad experiences with legs breaking on freestanding devices like that

      Chriva, yes of course it would be possible, but since I try to restore these as close as possible to the original design, I left it as-is. The small heatsink does the job.

    Assume you drove a car with manual transmission. You couldn’t have shoot any videos while driving like you did often in the states. But to my surprise I did see footage when your car was in motion. Did you just mount cam on windshield?

      aps125, as I mentioned in the video, I did not think I would be able to shoot video in Dartmoor because of the often challenging roads; with all the shifting of the manual transmission, the need to carefully steer the car on narrow twisty roads, I would not have a hand free to hold the camera. But later, when the road I was on got wider, flatter and less challenging, I was able to just leave the car in one gear for a while, steer with my gear-shifting hand and hold the camera with my right hand. I might have switched camera hands at some point. I did have to set the camera in my hap a few times when I needed both hands to drive, but I edited that out of the video.
