Could you do an Instructible on the repairing of CFLs? As I look at the amount of my failed "long life" lamps building, I couldn't help but want to possibly fix them (limited to simple electronic components). -Not to be cheap, but for a number of other reasons. Thank you.

I'm glad there are comments regarding the title and the use of words as I have many problems with their usage. I have pretty much given this the distinction as micro- and macro-perspective. E.g. Make your own pancakes: "Get some pancake mix, and add water." vs. making them from scratch. Not being in the electonics design industry, I initially did not find it questionable (probably due to the degree of completeness of the IC.) But after reading, I thought "well the chip does most everything. This is wiring and programming". He about the current use and understanding of articulate, semantics and pronunciation. This all brings up much frustration to me. Thanks for the instuctable. There are things I occasionally would like to make-work, (furnace operation counter ...

Came out good. I just wanted to comment on an observation I made a while ago. While dn. south (Arkansas and a little of others), I noticed that there is quite more state pride. It's not like you hear songs made like "Sweet Home Delaware". It was very interesting to me the individualness of the states; and was a great pride of our country and these type of people. I was also glad when I got home that I saw more State flags flown than I was aware of prior (Ohio); I still haven't bought a state shirt, but maybe I'll find a small yard flag. It seems to me, sadly, that global communication will change this. Things like "Tennessee Pride" bread. -not to be offensive, but those two red and black bearded Warner bros. cartoon characters were hilarious! Barefoot and all. If p...

- GTO3x2 commented on sjowett's instructable Mega Torch - the ultimate guide2 years agoView Instructable »
I find the understanding of LEDs as opposed to filament lighting as confusing as working between time and frequency domains. I'm going to take that working with LEDs has its abstractness due to the nature of semiconductors. My initial reference is that all current flows because of voltage differential or "pressure". The LED element of the circuit has its operating ranges and functions. This is why I have reservations about accepting "current limiting" as the key design focus. -that's not saying it isn't critical.This is all because of my tinkering with accent LED lighting in my car. I also couldn't understand why I saw flickering in LED taillights from a DC system. I now know this is because of the use of pulsing (Pulse Width Modulation) to achieve the desired ...

Ahh, thanks. Our "flashlights" used to commonly have a momentary button for flashing besides the on/off slider. I "assumed" that was for Morse code.
View Instructable »Thanks. Yes, I don't see why it, then, isn't called "voltage drop". I'm seeing the case where scientist people are "in too deep" and losing their reference. This is applying to the health/medicine field too; e.g. I don't call alcoholism a "disease". Thanks, -out.

Does "forward voltage" refer to voltage forwarded to or from? If to, how is this any different than what has been normally under stood as voltage (supplied/ required etc...)?

- GTO3x2 commented on Black Beard Projects's instructable Blacksmithing Forge2 years ago
I agree. This is why I find the common reference of the "forge" wrong. The typical device should be referred to as a "furnace" (the kind enclosed with walls etc...). This project comes across, to me, as more of a stove or fire pit table. Of course, this is less rough-and-tough sounding, although handforgers would contend that placing the object in heat is not forging, l.o.l. Yes, this is semantics, but the whole base of language is a common meaning and understanding. Since I'm finding the language to be more and more chaotic and misused, I find it sensible to "point" these things out. I'm done, and the discussion is for all to understand.
The "rocket" name comes from a small cross-sectional areaway burning chamber that produces a rumbling sound reminding people of a rocket's engine sound. These "rocket heaters" are built with insulated flues that enable near-complete combustion. The intent for these heaters is to get all the heat out of the fuel (cleaner exhaust air is also a result). A smaller opening is used to ensure air direction to the fuel, from the occupied space, while desired, less fuel source (wood) is needed. In order to get the drafting going, it has to initially be blown in that direction until the draft can be perpetually maintained. Typically, ordinary blower motors downstream of heat will not last and a plug-type blower is used for high temperature exhaust. I would think sucking the h...

- GTO3x2 commented on Black Beard Projects's instructable Blacksmithing Forge2 years agoView Instructable »
Nifty idea for a pot. Well, the whole thing is resourceful. Is that an air duct or a cast iron long-sweep wye (hub and spigot)?Pet peeve rant: I don't know how the oven, furnace or heating area has become to be known as the "forge". Forging, to me, is the process of shaping with presses and dies by hammering etc... There is hot and cold forging. There is also drop forging, and this is where the grain structure of the metal gets changed and gives strength, etc... My guess is that since the whole process and facility, occurring and known as the forge, the eye-catching oven or furnace erroneously became referred to as the forge. -drives me nuts.

- GTO3x2 commented on Well Done Tips's instructable DIY: Lithium Battery To NiCd Power Tool (With Simple Adapter)2 years ago
Aside all other issues, I surmised that Ni-Cd are still used as new battery-selection-type by manufacturers because of its ability to deliver high current. I'd do, however, see drills with Li ion batteries, which I would assume are in the high current range.
View Instructable »I would caution people not to fool with mixing chargers. Li ion batteries have very high energy density, and when they are not properly handled, extremely violent fires can happen. This, I assume, is why there are much more warnings on batteries and chargers these days, and they should be heeded.This why overzealous warnings, such as OSHA warnings of eye protection for opening a bread bag twistee, desensitize people from more-likely and real dangers.

I couldn't tell one where to start making something like this and have been curious in the past couple of years. After taking up some of my own cooking (the best was soup from nearly scratch and scraps (which came out very good ), I have very much respect for cooking.I do have to say though, for the price of cooking, it seems the store-bought pies can't be beat. I do realize that the typical cooking will be done in a house that will be receiving the desired heat. I also recognize the eventual loss of skill and knowledge. It's also interesting how this pretty much opens the door to understanding what living boils down to. Thanks for a good instructable.
