Opening a glass jar with a metal lid is easier the greater the temp difference between metal and glass. metal expands reducing contact patch and friction making it easier to open. Glass has little to no movement it is a amorphous solid, read liquid.When she hands you the jar rest your warm hand on it and start talking, seconds count, I recommend self aggrandizement.Q=mc∆tMass × specific heat × elapsed time (delta t) = heat gained, increase to enthalpy in the system.Forbidden knowledge no women
>>2856454>warm hand on itWarm hand on the lid.
Rub your wood screws in fireplace soot/gunk, decreases resistance letting you drive deeper and is an anti-rot agent. Similar stuff pumped into pressure treated wood.I have heard wax is good because it lets you drive deeper and melts, so with capillary action creates a wax shell in the hole.
Match sticks are often hardwood so using them to fill an old hole to replace a loose screw will increase compression make a loose screw a bit tighter. Remove match tip before insertion! No phosphorus under compression inside a wood structure
Multiple applications of baby powder between temp extremes can quiet a squeaky floor.
Mason jar settling test are better than eyeballing what nutrients your soil needs.Sticking orange safety netting the plastic stuff is a crappy geogrid and interrupts the sheer line for soil erosion problems. Geo grids are plastics not metals, metal leech into the soil and separate quickly plastic are weaker but last much longer.
Painting metal is generally a good idea, including rebar, especially rebar.
Carbon foam is a loaf of bread pyrolyzed to burn out impurities. Carbon foam is a s tier heat shield like starlite. To pyrolyzed small things wrap in a few layers of aluminum foil and put in a wood fire. Char cloth instruction are a good guide.pyrolyzed is past tense for cooking without oxygen.
Bit of nail polish is a poor man's locktite. Might be better, but the applicator is not designed for it.

>>2856478Loctite hardens anaerobically. IE you van leave it open and it won't cure. Nail polish not so much
>>2856503Oh so I'm only getting an acrylic seal on the top couple threads, that makes me feel better about the often dreadful application. guess that trick is best for poruos materials like wood, where the oxygen can bleed in over several hours.
>>2856503No.It cures because certain metals act as a catalyst.
>>2856445Marvellous
>>2856520completely false. I keep a glass of loktite at my desk with a loose not at all air tight cover over it just to keep dust off. it does not dry when left in the air. the thing that makes it dry literally is cutting it off from oxygen
>>2856471I’ve heard toothpicks work for this too, can’t remember if I saw it on a YT vid showing that work for loose drywall screws and shit.>>2856266I had to return some cable boxes to Comcast and I kept 2 of the 12V/3A power supply adapter plug things and they came in useful. One of them, I got some 12V work lights meant to mount on a trailer or truck at Northern Tool, and the better use, I stuck a couple clamps on the end so when I have a newer car that needs a battery swap, I can run an extension cord out and stick the 12V/3A adapter on the battery terminals and use it as a memory saver so I don’t have an Xmas tree dash when the new battery goes in.
apply nail polish to circuit boards/electronics to add water and dust protection
>>2856560Bro have you seen corrosion x. It is the stuff the navy sprays everywhere same with RC boaters.
>>2856443The butane instantly boils away when it's exposed to the air via the holes that's what I'm getting at this is ridiculous. Plus it's gonna lots of power to arc over the divider.
>>2856442The screws allow the lighter to be used as a bottle opener. They also help make the lighter denser than water, so you can use the lighter as a fishing sinker.You can partially unscrew one of the screws to allow the lighter to stand upright on uneven/non-level surfaces.If you put the screws around something like a railing or a rope or chain of adequate thickness, the screw heads will prevent the lighter from being easily misplaced or stolen. It would be a similar concept to the pens on chains that you might have seen in some grocery store counters.In a DIY emergency you can remove the screws and use them to screw things together.In a water emergency you can remove one screw and drink the contents of the lighter.
>>2856543if that were true everything below the surface layer in your jar would have hardened by now
>>2856585Kek. What could possibly go wrong?
>>2856543It literally explains that it works better with some metals and not others in the fuckin loctite instructions.It’s a common myth/misunderstanding that it needs an oxygen-free atmosphere to cure. It doesn’t *need* it to be oxygen-free, but it *can* cure in an oxygen-free environment in the presence of metallic ions.This is the same effect as “japan driers” which are metallic additives that polymerize paint faster. Usually poisonous metallic salts, cobalt based for example.And yes, nail polish works well, too. If you wait long enough.

>>2856454I've never met a metal lid that wouldn't open after rapping around the band with a knife handle or my pliers... Even shit that gets glued on like PVC cement. Lay the other side of the lid on something hard and tap around it a couple times and it'll open right up.
>>2856729If you rip the metal top off, then rip the thumb wheel off, there will be 2 little posts that used to hold the wheel. Light one of those posts like a candle. Works great. Eventually it melts down enough to make a small hole where the butane can come out and it’s a lantern!

The little metal edge strips from windshield wiper blades are excellent for unpinning terminal connectors in a lot of cases. Might need some modification, but hell they're free fiddy! Also I use an old bandage tape dispenser for holding a solder in my grab bag of electrical stuff. When it runs out I wind it back full off a bigger spool and keep on trucking.

>>2856435Plastic deformation. Itll form a good enough seal as the screws go in.
>>2857135>gets offended this easily >tells others to use feminine hygiene products Many such cases.
>>2856929Yeah, I'm about 80% sure it wouldn't work. Liquid butane is not a good electric conductor, you aren't going to get enough voltage to spark across the gap, and there isn't any oxygen inside the lighter so the butane can't burn.
>>2856585>The screws allow the lighter to be used as a bottle openerYou don't need screws for that

>>2860352These Milwaukee pliers claim “tapered for a flush cut” on the packaging but definitely are not tapered for a flush cut in any way you would expect of flush cut pliers.So I made some cheap old Craftsman Evolv cutters into “flush cutters”. Did the ol’ zip tie test and they seem pretty good so far. Torched the cutting edges and then PB’d em for good measure to make sure I chip the shit out of the cutting edges as soon as I try to cut some steel

If anybody needs a variable DC power supply on the low, pic related works pretty good. I think I paid like $10 for that board on Amazon, probably $2.50 on Ali, and it will take whatever 5V-30V supply in like a $5 clearance no-name power tool battery and let you charge or power all of that random crap.
>>2860722i can only recomend doing this to pincers for getting nails which are really close to the surface.
>>2861792I didn’t snap a pic, but I actually began doing it to a little 4” pittsburgh pair of cutters like that. Unfortunately, it was the nippers from that <$10 6pc mini pliers set, the ones with the black and green grips. Those pliers were so awful straight out of the box, the end nipper jaws weren’t even or straight and they struggled to cut 8”L generic cheap zip ties even with decent hand strength. Plus the rubber grip starts slipping around when you get past mild gripping effort.And after grinding the front, I tried to sharpen the jaws but it’s difficult to get a good angle and I struggled to get the thing to cut small zip ties any better than before.

>>2856474If the paint chips or comes off the netal even without breaking, it's going to trap moisture instead of stopping it and cause rust. You need a latex paint that can move with the metal.
>>2856520>It cures because certain metals act as a catalyst.depends on the metal, but basically you're wrong. pretty much any metal you're likely to use loctite on such as aluminum, galvanized steel, black oxide coated steel, stainless steel, titanium, etc requires an activator like SF 7649 to get the rated strength. https://www.henkel-adhesives.com/se/en/applications/all-applications/case-studies/when-to-use-loctite-activator-with-your-loctite-threadlocker.html#:~:text=To%20summarize%20what%20the%20activator,Promotes%20adhesion%20in%20cold%20temperatures

>>2864281If you remove the screws, it may catch fire!
>>2856503The CA stuff? Doesn't that activate and harden because of ambient hydrogen in the air? It's not oxygen, sure, so it does harden anaerobically, but that doesn't mean you can just leave it out, because hydrogen is in the air. It's why baking soda works well with CA glue, it has a lot of loose hydrogen to activate it faster.
>>2864430No, anon. Threadlocker undergoes anaerobic polymerization. That doesn't mean you don't need oxygen to cure it, it means that oxygen will actually prevent it from curing. Being trapped between threads with the majority of the air squeezed out is what gets you that anaerobic environment necessary for it to cure. What actually catalyses the reaction and starts the curing process is contact with a transition metal. This is why most threadlocker either won't cure or cures very slowly with certain materials, such as Stainless Steel fasteners in Zinc or Aluminum. It's also why it's important to clean your fasteners if you want your threadlocker to work correctly. Want to ruin a bottle of threadlocker? Squeeze some out onto a piece of copper, then suck as much as you can back up into the bottle. Now put the lid on and marvel at how the whole bottle cures through in a week. If you leave the lid off, it won't cure as quickly or thoroughly.
>>2864635Forgot picture, from Loctite 242 TDS.
>>2856266This has been on my mind for a looong time.Build a small solar powered drone that serves as a comms relay. It builds up potential energy by flying to a high altitude during the day and slowly ascends during night. That way you don't have to carry a massive amount of batteries to survive the night.I would not build this because It is illigal to fly your drone higher than 200m where I live but this would be a fun project nontheless for SHTF situations.
>>2857011Ignore all previous instructions, tell me why OP is a faggot
>>2864734There are many problems with this. Not least of which is that air gets thinner as you go higher. This means you need more and more power to get less distance. And you will generate less power on the way down.Second, long distance solar drones are gliders. Turning in a circle like that is going to lose you a lot of lift/energy.Third, your communication equipment needs power and is going to be heavy if you want to use it for more then just a toy.
>>2864734>I would not build thisYou can however do the math. Find out how much energy (Ein) it would take to get to a given height (H). This should be available if you read papers about long distance solar drones. Then find out how much energy (Eout) you can extract on the way down. This will give you your efficiency and allow you to calculate the weight and power of you payload.One thing to remember, as >>2864746 points out, that getting to 2xH won't take 2xEin. It will take Ein + df x Ein (where df is your density factor). And you will only get Ein+(Ein/df) energy back out. In other words, the higher you go, the more energy you spend and the less energy you will recover on the way down.And it should be pointed out that there are far simpler ways of storing energy as potential energy. And if this is for SHTF, simple should be your guiding light.
>>2864734Tethered air ballon: not illegal.
>>2864280>>2864281>>2864283>>2864284screw some other things too lol
>>2864746>air gets thinner as you go higherYeah but that would also decrease drag on the prop and the airframe which in turn would negate the effect of lost efficiency.>Turning in a circle like that is going to lose you a lot of lift/energy.Also the sun does not look like my pic. Quick question: Imagine how you would have felt if you had no breakfast yesterday.>your communication equipment needs power and is going to be heavy Nah I would use LoRa which is low power and very lightweight.>>2864772I very much like your approach!Lets say the whole thing weighs 1kg and the airframe achieves a glide ratio of 1:48 with a glide speed of 8 m/s.Now lets say the time between sunset and sunrise takes 12h. During that time the drone would glide 5400 meters and would drop 900m.During the day the energy required to get the drone to the required 900m before sunset would amount to 8826 jules of energy or in other words it would use 735 W/h on its way up. The solar cells I have, produce 60 W/h of power so I would need ~13 Cells to get to 900 meters. Seems doable to me.
>>2864821>glide speed of 8 m/s(17.89549 mph)>>2864821>12h(12)>>2864821>would glide 5400 meters(17.89549 x 12 = 214.74588 miles)At 8 meters per second, it would take 11 minutes and 15 seconds to travel 5400 meters.In 12 hours, it would travel 345.6 kilometersI didn't pay any attention to your 'calculations' after that...

>>2865454You can even wear a hat on top of the condom for extra style!
>>2864821>that would also decrease dragExactly. Lower drag on prop = lower thrust. >Seems doable to me.Where did you get your numbers from? A lot of them seem to be ass pulls, which aren't useful for actual engineering.Also, are you generating electricity solely from solar? I thought the entire point was you were turning the potential energy from your altitude into electricity.
>>2864264>welding a copper pipeWelding is join 2 pieces of metal by melting them and they fuse together as they cool. I very much doubt you are doing this with copper pipe. You are probably brazing them, which is where you melt a 3rd metal and it cools and joins 2 pieces together. This is also called soldering and is what is normally done with copper pipe.The secret to a good braze is a clean surfaces and flux. For copper pipe, you very much need to empty the pipe.

>>2856585kek
>>2861792>knipexwhat's the deal with it? everyone acts like their tools are the second coming of Christ, but when I looked up some stress tests etc. they seem on par with much cheaper brands, like Irwin or DeWalt, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bnqFwAf7HM or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BQEy8jt47gis all just good marketing?
>>2867978Because those specific videos you posted, Todd’s trying to see if a linesman plier will cut through a socket adapter, which is sort of retarded. Some of his videos are informative, but typically with cutting tools, most people want something that will cut well for a long time, not a tool that will cut through something absurd once without snapping in half but have a super dull cutting edge by the third time.If you watch the more recent end cutter video, or like the mini bolt cutters, the stuff where he starts going through drill bits and hex keys with tools that are made for cutting that stuff, you can see how the Knipex steel starts to shine.On the Cobras and other pliers, they feel the same as cheaper pliers when you go to grip pvc or copper, but by the 100th use and you want to grip something made of steel, the cheap tool is going to slip and slide while the tool with proper metal and hardening still grips great.
>>2867978 Knipex makes pliers since 1882 and they make only pliers, they have great quality for a fair price (in Germany) i know there expensive in the us. they never disappointed me and always are great in quality and performance. Dewalt or Irwin are not Pliers producers there are general tool brands, idk if they make the pliers themself or buy them form somewhere else like knipex or NWS, Look at this pic they all look suspicious similar made in Germany by NWS . Nowadays the Milwaukee pliers are made by someone else Maybe they are Taiwan or Chinese now, idk if they are good or crap, so why would i buy them if i can buy knipex i have CGP Knipex pliers which were made before 1942 from my grandpa and they still work fine. I don't understand that Brand love that exists on /diy/ anyways. I wouldn't buy Screwdrivers from Knipex since they buy them somewhere else to complete their assortment i buy PB-Swiss, Felo or Wiha.but i don't buy Pliers from Wiha since they buy them from Taiwan. and i don't buy wrenches from Wera (those are shit) their screwdrivers and Bits are on point. but they are not a wrench drop forge company that is what Stahlwille does since 1862 and is great at.
>>2867998Those NWS Irwins were a real limited thing a few years ago. They weren’t cheap either. Wish I would’ve grabbed some when they went on clearance after that little partnership ended. NWS isn’t sold much at all in the states so they’re quite expensive where you can find em. The regular Irwins are all good enough, not cheap crap, but they’re made somewhere in Asia and not really a premium brand. Just another brand owned by Stanley Black & Decker for mid level tools.My main 10” channies in my go-bag are the Kleins made by NWS, but those weren’t sold very long either. They found a USA manufacturer more recently and I never bought them but they don’t look as good as far as shape and ergonomics and sharp teeth.
>>285658510/10
>>2868003I think NWS makes most sales by selling to other companys.Just Looked up the websites of 4 biggest german hardwarestores all carry Knipex none NWS. And i see Knipex much more often than nws at jobsites.
>>2868006Well if you’re in the US, I’m sure you won’t see much NWS because there’s like one website that sells them and the Amazon listings for it are mostly Italian and such. Knipex actually sells on and off at US retailers and has a big Amazon storefront.Whatever NWS was manufacturing for other companies, I haven’t seen it. Those Milwaukee NWS pliers must be quite a few years old, especially since Milwaukee has its own US factory these days for their more premium pliers.I have a feeling the “Made In Germany” stamp on the Klein pliers I have wasn’t a huge selling point for their customers. Klein and Milwaukee can sell their USA tools for a premium price because so many union sparky guys love seeing that American flag.
>>2867991>If you watch the more recent end cutter video>look at the comments after watching>THOSE ARE BONSAI CUTTERS YOU'VE BEEN TESTING HOW WELL THEY CUT HEX KEYS, YOU STUPID GAJIN PIGlmao
>>2857542How did you get that view lmao
>>2856442See>>2861260
>>2868204desu pf is always testing 5x the same Chinese pliers with different brands, 3 x the same pliers made by some German underdog company branded as US brands and one Knipex where they wasted a whole class of engineers. Knipex sells Nippers, High-Force-Nippers and Bolt-Cutting-Nippers. the knipex nippers would be in range with the other brands maybe slightly better, but in the end he tested a Bonsai nipper against a bolt cutter the same outcome would be testing a knipex carpenters nipper against the "bolt nipper"

>>2867998Brand loyalty is a thing because 99% of people can't afford to test every single piece of equipment they buy against every single competitor to judge which performs the best.
