Making Ice Blocks, Expansion, Thermosiphon
I have the 750w mid drive and I've just clocked over 6000 kilometers and I've just replaced a worn out 8 speed shimano cassette and chain wheel. Gone with the stock 44t and upgraded to a 42/12 microshift cassette. The chain is fairly new and no signs of wear. Now since I've had the motor out and regressed the whole motor I'm getting a squeaky chain noise coming from the motor. I'm puzxeled cause I know I added enough good quality grease to it
Why not just go with a TXV?
My ditch is dry and grassy i don't even need water
Did you ever figure out why your heater aux heater wouldn’t work? I have the same issue; dash switch doesn’t seem to turn on the aux heat.
I don’t know what happened with your idea but you could use bicycle chain which has a 98% efficiency instead of the friction belts.
This was great! I'm studying mechanical engineering and working on a lab report about heat pumps, and your insights and enthusiasm greatly motivate me. Awesome talk!
Wow that is some excellent work HVACRing right there! I think that evaporator shape is pretty cool! I have a CA machine idk how to get the service cap off it lol.
no tractor action!
Nice video. You have any clue of the cop?
It's been a while. I can safely it was at least 2.0. May have been as high as 3.0. Probably not more. Better than resistive heat!
are we snipping the snakes too? or do they get a pass?
managed by the logging company, lol *Snip snip*
I am camping in my big 4 bedroom house 2 bathroom home. So any cheaper appliances I am all for it. Love my butane gas oven and my butane gas stove. Now I need a butane gas fridge/ freezer.
I have a butane oven and stove need a fridge to save on electricity here in Australia. How much in America?
Mike.... Thats a great video on your Pioneer and you have seasoned in well back east, but your roots are in refrigeration and heating, you have a great gift that many of us do not, consider heat making devices using your standard propane as a working fluid... You have a great gift for taking nothing and making it into something extremely usable....
Thanks for the kind words. Although I don't build refrigeration systems anymore, the skills are useful when repairing them. A leaked appliance is easily converted to Propane refrigerant. In the future I'd like to work more with passive systems like two phase thermosiphons. In particular, I'd like to build a passive ice making system utilizing the cold temperatures in my area over the winter months. That cold weather is becoming increasingly rare and short lived, so all the more challenging. Thanks again!
Propane is extremely close to R22 and can actually perform even better. It's actually used in split system retrofits in Europe and central Asia.
Huayi compressors are based on Danfoss designs; they are one of the better Chinese compressors. Donper and GMCC are two others. I'm personally not a big fan of cabinet bonded condensers as they don't reject heat as well and are harder on the compressor as a result. Nowadays it's almost impossible to find mini refrigerators or chest freezers with the traditional plate condensers unless they are commercial ones which cost several hundred to a few thousand dollars.
My favorite models from the 60s and 70s had stack effect plate condensers on the back. Simple and robust. Easy to clean.
Direct drive it with a windmill
Question, why use propane instead of refrigerant? Because of cost?
It's a cheap and effective refrigerant, once used in the 1920s. It's not uncommon today in commerical freezers.
@@whatawaytogo515 is the compressor you’re using designed for 134? Or does it not really matter?
Probably 134A. It's not likely to be of much importance unless you're trying to be super efficient. More important is sizing everything, especially the metering device.
Brute force! Me like!🔨
i'm at middle of missouri ... i've been doing the same thing... now i'm not an expert by any meaning but i kinda think the water quality is better with it ...
Sure, I expect the water quality to improve. I haven't noticed much change, but I'm up in the woodlands so it's a lot of leaves and detritus. Some ponds are in the works to drop out sediments.
If we never killed all the beaver they would have beat you to it.
Totally. They're still around, but not in the numbers they once were. I wonder what it was like!?
The most beautiful woods you have never been in I would think.@@whatawaytogo515
I've never killed all the beavers.
They say the beaver ponds make fantastic fire breaks out west and in Canada. Folks don't tend to like them on their property as they plug culverts and flood roads.
@woodspirit98 my culture damn near eradicated them. For a fashion trend...
You need to add some large bolders to slow the water down to stop the erosion.
Rocks definitely help when they are available. The wood is handy and also provides nutrients and some habitat for critters. It's neat to see how quickly some obstructions can cause leaves and sediment to build up!
@@whatawaytogo515 it will also cause pooling that also hydrates the surrounding area.
I agree. Today I was adding more material to the streams to do just that. Made a short video about it.
Fascinating Mike !! Thanks !!
Frosting back is not good as that is a clear indication of floodback. That washes the oil off the cyclinder walls and can migrate oil out of the compressor that very likely won't migrate back to the compressor.
Yeah, not ideal.
Come to NB, Canada. You would lose your mind.
I saw a DR-A2 cabinet on FB which was converted years ago to an icebox...why someone would want to do that is beyond me. The nice thing about the eutectic pig is that once it gets down to temperature it can stay that way without refrigeration for 24 hours or more.
Omg, that's shameful. I've never fully understood what the eutectic in these was originally. One place it says something about "Sun Oil" and also another like glycerin or something. I think we put propylene glycol solution in.
This is fire control. Our forests looked like this when we didn’t control fires. Your dense woods is a product of man stopping nature. So this is a good thing. Top soil isn’t gone, nothing washed. And the forest will grow back. Come to Cali, home of wildfires, and see what nature can do. Though, destroying nature for buildings, I agree
I have to disagree. We don't get the same kind of forest fires in these deciduous woods. They are often very dense though as a result of intense forestry a century ago. Some selective cutting could be a benefit. In fact, that's exactly what they did here 20 years ago. They removed some of the less desirable overstory trees and allowed the red oaks to fill out. That would be great, except the only reason was to allow for what amounts to a clear cut this year. There are a few benefits to this cut, but I fail to see how it outweighs the harms.
Do you think we should have started your Ultimate Solution plan with your parents? Or is this video an extreme tongue-in-cheek parody, mocking people who may actually believe what, you surely must be pretending to think?
Definitely not parody. I'm antinatalist for sure. I'm glad to be here now that I'm here, but I shouldn't exist. Too many damned people and we're getting harder and harder on this planet. Stop breeding.
Yeah children are the issue definitely not the government. Goober
Civilization, if you want to get specific. Human children probably aren't ecocidal by their nature. More or less in the context of civilization we're a bunch of murderous psychopaths.
Come back in 20 years it will be a new Forrest Mother Nature always repairs itself don’t take it personal people are idiots what can you do
There's no such thing as nature. We made it up to make ourselves feel superior. There hasn't been a forest here since the 19th century. These are degraded woodlands with few trees more than 100 years old. Increasingly, snags and larger fallen trees can be found. Often though, the policy is to cut parcels before the wood starts to "go downhill". This only concerns profit and people.
Awesome. Zero context. Lots of complaining for no apparent reason. Great video. One star review.
Sooo...the 3 trees getting cut down cause all that??? GTFOH tree hugging ass😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 Agreed 👍🏿
No babies!
Holy spud, that's a lot of chips
I agree completely
Sweet upgrade! 👍👍
That it pretty darn cool!
thanks mikr !!
That's wild 😮😢
Jumping spider. But still really cool
Marble orb weavers are gorgeous
“Noooooooo!!!” - That Tree
I guess this is an alternate way to do it when your chainsaw is too dull to cut. Lol
easier to remove the stump this way than TNT it out after
That's a jumping spider.
Not a wolf spider.
Thats wild. I assume a fly as big as the spider will feed it for quite a few days
I love machinery, but sadly I now understand why my bags of potato chips are always smashed at the bottom, and why the bag has 90% air in it.....!!
These things were violent for sure. There are not many gingerly handpackers anymore. Every manufacturer that can has gone to machines.
Please do more vids on refrigerator design!!!!
I have to agree very strongly!
Yes that is our coast, it can be meaner than a rattlesnake and sometimes the most serene beautiful place to be, that's Oregon..!!
It was like being sandblasted. I had a delivery in Warrenton and decided to drive out to the ocean. Saw the wreck of the Peter Iredale. That coast sure is something!
Mike !!! Glad to see more content from you ! Hope you are well, seems like you cuss more now. Not a critcism, just an observation.
Great observation. I always cussed, I'm just less concerned about what people think. Keeps me from saying "um" so much. Lol
