Ahhh, the wonders of cheap junk from China ;) . I bought a cheap desk lamp from a very flash establishment, called 'The Warehouse' a few days ago. Upon...
... Picked up a 20A Variac from China. My first use was to use it to slowly bring up my Airco welder. That was capable of 475 amps, so wanted to test slowly...
I bought a chinese-made heated CO2 regulator from an online auction (like the professionals use - I would be the envy of all my friends!). It had no electrical...
Hi Ws25329, I took the 230V parts out of the lamp housing, to make room for a home built 12V led disc. The Led disc is about 100mm dia, and is fitted with 60...
That is very interesting. I've tried using truck tail lights or marker lights I picked up for very little on clearance at a truck stop (inventory reset), and...
I have a Westach speedometer for an ultralight aircraft. It reads 0 - 60 mph. I do not have the sender for it. The sender is about $100, and consists of a...
Well, a microcontroller like a PIC could either sample an analog input or time a pulsed input. If your sensor was non-linear you could devise some kind of...
Indeed, however my understanding is that appliances without an earth must be 'double insulated' which I think means that the internal design is such that a...
most weather station anemometers use a hall effect transducer to detect the tips of the prop vanes (for those ones with props, as opposed to the cup type...
I'll continue thinking about this for the recreational value. I haven't thought of a really good way to get 50-60v to modulate (?), unless I use 9v batteries...
Maybe this 2012 stuff is of some interest to members of our group. Mayans, Hopis, even Nostradamus have some sort of prophecy pertaining to 2012. Just...
There is no "2012 stuff" that's even remotely on topic. It's only interesting if you are into fiction. Steve Spence Renewable energy and self sufficiency ...
Howdy Anthony, Thank you for participating in the Amptramp group. It is preferable that you generate content that is relevant to the technical nature of this...
Howdy Steve, Wow, great stuff! Anyone seeing the first video, is naturally inclined to view a lot of the others that are hosted on youtube. There are some...
Hi Steve-  Your wrong!  Anthony must have hacked my PC- I have a great plan to unveil Artificially Intelligent Weldernator Mark 4 Android in 2012!  ...
Howdee Bradley, Hehehehe. Put a camera on your new android, as I'd pay to watch the resulting video. Poor terminator, he doesn't stand a chance ;) . With an...
... And after 2012 what year did Nostradamus predict the world ending next? I would think you prophecy morons would eventually figure out that Nostradamus was...

Because all the prophecy nuts and religious whackjobs have finally taken total leave of their senses and post this sort of thing on literally every discussion...
Howdy Brad, Hmmm, I wonder if you could make a new set of teeth for me. I'm toothless, but can still pack away a feed at my favourtite Scottish restaurant...
... I have seen that on rebuilt alternators. Had a buddy with a Ford Taurus that went through 4 alternators (real hot under that hood.) The one I replaced, all...
