On top of this, it is crowded around.

Re: I love modern technology

The odds are your TV needs new caps. I had two PC screens gone bad. It started with trouble to turn on, becoming more and more troublesome, until final failure. I opened them, they are waiting for repair. One has clearly a cap that vented, its top is cracked. Trouble is, this cap is SMC on a fragile...

Re: Gentle persuasion over time

Removing tree stumps is a pain. The stump grinder is likely the best way to go. There are many tricks, but mostly not so good.
I had luck on a large stump from the help of a friendly mushroom that did a great job biting deep inside.
I wish I could patent this mushroom as a stump eater.

Re: home improvement turns into science fair projects?

The reactance of a 22uF at 60 Hz is 120 Ohm. So when plugged on 120V mains the current through the cap is 1A. I would not dare to do that without protection heavy goggles and gloves despite it should not blow up. Theory tells, it undergoes a 1A rms current, charges and discharges 60 times per second...

Re: home improvement turns into science fair projects?

It takes little fan speed to get good heat exchange. I had a very noisy PC box. So I invested in a larger CPU fan with a big heat sink and speed controlled by cpu temperature. Then I found out that most of the noise was from two case fans that were large but running fast blowing a hurricane through ...
