  1. Dismantling those may be too damaging. Easier source are computer fans. If you do not know how to dismantle one (remove label and tiny circlip) It is on the circuit board. Shown here----> http://www.pcbheaven.com/wikipages/images/thumbs/howbrushlessmotorswork_1269516340.jpg
  2. Thanks, Greg. Yes, tried several ways, including rubbery undercoating spray instead of the foam : not rigid result. The foam-in-a-can product does not 'spray' out of the can, that is the problem. It just flows slowly out of its dispenser tube and it is totally unmanageable, untouchable until set. Dressed a plastic film on top of item, covered/conformed with the net, and applied the foam : untrowelable. The item to be made is 6' x4', somewhat convoluted.
  3. Check "Graphi-Bond" binder, there is a couple of types; and isopropanol, phenolic resins, polyphenylenesulfide, polyarylsulphides.
  4. The intention is to evenly coat an irregularly shaped 'mosquito net' with a couple of cm. of such insulating foam for a custom light thermal rigid cover. The net provides the reinforcement, adheres to the foam, and conforms to the object shape to cover. Similar application, without the reinforcement net core and of a very small size : ----> http://www.qcidirect.com/outdoor-faucet-cover.html?utm_source=GoogleShopping&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=outdoor-faucet-cover&gclid=CPG6ooTY6r0CFQsSMwod4QMA9w Thanks.
  5. Any suggestions for a trowelable product like the foam-in-a-can for sealing gaps, cracks and insulating ? This product, after applied out of the can, cannot be troweled/molested at all until dry, as it collapses to nothing: ---->http://img2-2.timeinc.net/toh/i/a/tools/foam-spray-00.jpg
  6. Hi. Hope this is not against rules; am trying to buy a few cheap electronic components at an specific store and refuse to pay abusive minimum shipping fees, as am in tight income now, and parts costs do not justify. Or, if anyone knows some sort of web site where this personal kind of contacts can be requested ? Thanks
  7. That autonomous submarine searching for the missing Boeing 777 aircraft in the south Indian sea; tracing a search pattern can steer by its compass/autopilot, and maintain or change headings, read its water-relative speed; but how does it know its position coordinates ? Marine currents can produce a sustantial position deviation specially after several hours spent only in descent/ascent. Or is its position known from external tracking by its mothership sonar linked to time 'stamps' ?
  8. Itn is not about how they made or not the video, it is about the scary concept. That thing could drop grenades, chemicals, whatever... !
  9. If there was enough fuel to make it there, next check would be looking for the 777 under palm leaves at the somali pirates operation centre. Sorry for the typed error in the subject heading, If can be corrected by a moderator, thanks.
  10. Hi. I do not know what CSI is. A search directed me to some movies ? I did have a CSI phone patch in the eighties, is that about ? ----> http://www.connectsystems.com/products/top/PATCH%20FLEX%20PAGING.html Of the known or leaked or let know things, certain entities can do many things you do not suspect. What is not published or let known, can be a speculatively more. Tried to find something related on the web ----> http://www.wright.edu/rsp/Security/V2comint/Cellular.htm And ----> http://mobilephonetrack.wordpress.com/

  12. If hijacked, would the occupants cell telephones provide location to cell towers ? Cell phones can be awaked by a "service mode" command remotely and enable the microphones, unless battery has been pulled out. I supposed someone tried that already.
  13. Would it be possible that the airplane did a ~soft 'landing' on sea without engines running by whatever failure, and by the 'soft' impact with the sea, the fuselage deformed/cracked preventing escape doors to open and later sunk in one piece, leaving no floating traces
  14. More head scratching now... I thought gluten was a constituent of wheat, not something that forms by kneading. And in my ignorant opinion, yeast dies at over 44ºC. And as a suspicion, recipes calling for hotter water to dissolve yeast is to take in account the cooling effect by bowls and utensils and ambient loss of heat to keep it as close as possible to the optimal temperature. And baking powder already contains the acid. Baking soda does not. Well, am skidding off my own topic, but learning is learning.
  15. More an art than a science, am trying to do it the science way Found that making the dough, I have failed too many times because e v e r y ingredient should be by ~43C (110F) and the room temperature too ! Unless am still wrong. Can anyone confirm please ? Question 2 : If the dough is impatiently let to rise for hours, why is then beaten the gas out of it to start waiting hours to rise again ? Question 3 : If the plan is to freeze the dough for later use, is it fine to mix/make the dough at everything by ~15C (60F) so the yeast will not awake ? Or, which way allows to safely freeze the dough ? Question 4 : If the rise of dough is yeast farts making the bubbles; why baking powder does not work or not used for bread ?
  16. In 2007, the electronic industry transitioned from ~60/40 lead/tin to unleaded ~95/5 tin/silver/copper solder. Its different behavior posed some manufacturing headaches to get used to it, the soldering iron tips grew more deposits due to temperature increase from 190C to 230C and difficult to keep a tinned-'wetting' Decided to experiment, and had a soldering iron tip made of 24K gold. It was shiny and clean at the operating temperature, did not tarnish. But it dissolved and dripped together with the molten tin instantly. If the gold melting point is 1065C, how can that happen at 230C ? The puddle for shure contained the gold within the tin, liquid until solidified. Can someone explain what reaction goes on ? Is there an industrial gold processing that makes advantage use of this low temperature melting? How difficult posterior separation from tin be ? Does it decant/sink while in the molten alloy ?
  17. Yes, my 2003 Compaq runs Ubuntu 12.04 + Gnome + Firefox and have never updated it since 04/2012, even when I get a weekly push from Canonical with all the goodies available to be added, and newer versions have been issued. And it is pretty ! Can be downloaded and burned to a CD from any compfuser for $0 for an evaluation try which adds nothing to the hard drive, as runs from the 'live' CD. Since 2006, I have had removable hard drives; one Linux, one Windows; never mixing both OS in one drive (dual boot is possible), and by lack of using the Windows one, ended with a single drive again in 2009. The evaluation CD runs considerably slower and could cause a wrong impression when trying. It is not the case when installed. If you have a used good blanked hard drive, (or a new one!) install it there for a better sense. But will drive you crazy at the beginning, it will be like learning to drive a battle tank downhill after decades of using the same bicycle uphill. -Then you add adblocker. The beginners forum is at ----> http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=326 And the jargon is from another planet. Edited: Added----> http://zorin-os.com/ for hardcore Windows users; it is Linux in a Windows dress/disguise/mask/makeup - (Have not tried it.)
  18. As a guess, you are running Windows. I suggest to save all your valuable files, favorites folder, to an external removable drive and reinstall your operative system without bells, whistles, additions and peddler programs. I cannot guide you on the reinstallation, but there is a way with Microsoft if you do not have the OS disc. The way computer service centers do it. As alternative, swap you hard drive with a new one and install a fresh Windows or Linux. That way you preserve all and can go back, or access its contents by connecting externally. Make backing files to an external drive a habit. All sites you visit are permanently pushing for control of your computer, they all want your attention. Make sure settings are to discard all cookies and temporary files every time the browser is closed, do not allow automatic installation/upgrade of anything, and as said before, use adblock. The abuse in advertising forces this. Am running Linux for 8 years now, and have not yet rid of Google spying actions, Facebook and Twitter insertions in web pages, but have no slowdown at all. A loooong way to get used to this operative system, but not going back to Windows; at all. Never. Once I saw on my screen at the spot an advertisement would pop-up, an angry message like "Your adblocker use made me loose 5 cents by not displaying my ad" That tells the forces behind the push to put jumping monkeys and crap in front of your eyes.
  19. This will become a huge problem, soon or later. ---->[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNPJMk2fgJU]
  20. Thanks Spyman and Phi for all, I understand the concept, which could apply also for borrowing items, not only giving them. For sure there is plenty of mutilated borrowers of chainsaws and buried car borrowers. The danger is in the unskilled person, not on the items. That television is not a CRT type, works from mains mostly converted to 12, 5, 3.3 Volts. If the repairperson is not aware of dangers, should not drive on roads either, not because may kill himself, but kill us.
  21. Hi. Trying to create an equation, what is left from my brain gets twisted and stuck there. With a flat mirror I have no problem, but with a convex one is different. Can anyone please try, or provide heavy guidance ? It is necessary to take a look at this mirror and its reflection : ----> http://www.cleardomesolar.com/solareflexpanels.html The variables are The mirror arc (mirror lenght or size) A The mirror curvature (its radius) R The illuminated target span S The illuminated target position P Time of day (or sun azimuth angle) T The target-to-mirror distance D I see the relationships as: A (larger) curvature radius R is inversely proportional to a (smaller) span S A larger mirror arc A is directly proportional to the times T (azimuth) it will work The sun azimuth T is inverse to the illuminated target position P The distance D is inversely proportional to the span S The purpose is calculating for a desired span S, which radius R and arc A will illuminate a target at position P, from T being 8AM to 4PM (azimuth 60 to 120 degrees) and requiered distance D
  22. Do you mean fix or do you mean symptom ? That article on your link is good when that is the problem. You should visually inspect the electrolytic capacitors for bulging and with a continuity meter for short circuit across them even if not bulged. When in need to replace, use good quality ones and if possible rated to a higher voltage that still fit their footprint. Another mandatory test is to apply a flashlight directly contacting the screen and try to discern if there is a faint image but no backlight. If there is an image, chances are the bakclight lamps, sort of tiny fluorescent tubes are worn out. Check also the electrolytic capacitors on the backlight inverter circuitry. Try to locate the schematic diagram on the web if further difficulty to diagnose other stages, I may guide you up to a certain point depending on your skills.
  23. Hi. Can the drill bits used for masonry, -the ones with widia tips- be sharpened at a different angle or shape for use in drilling steel ? How does it work ? Is there optimal angles (chart) for different alloys as hardened steel, iron, stainless, bronze, aluminium... ; and has a chosen angle or shape also a preferred optimal cutting speed (chart) for each metal ? Once I saw a demonstration of the same drill bit used in porcelain, steel, cast iron, stainless, concrete, brass, pvc and performing equally well on any ¿?. It had a widia tip insert. Thanks.
  24. Hi. It does not take that long, and stirrs cultists and speculators. Good elaborated artwork of precision, planning and patience; and fun watching on the news later. There is plenty of them in truly beautiful patterns. ----> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_opN9ghPKQ] But do they all have an explanation ? It is a brutal effort to make this ---->[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KliBRinZHJA] What for ? Is there a secret contest society doing these ? To laugh at worshippers of mistery ?
  25. ¿? I always thought 'fonetics' was related to auditory perception, not visual imagery ! ---Where do you get that from?--- And that would hardly work in English, not a fonetic language. What language are you using ?
