Notes for Friday – October 10, 2014

Today was a reminder of the importance of being prepared. While traveling down the highway with my family, the oil filter blew up, causing the loss of oil pressure in the engine and literally spraying oil all over the vehicle. How many of us take spare oil filters and oil with us on long journeys? It worked out okay, because we were in cell phone range and the auto parts store delivered parts to me on the side of the highway where I was able to repair the vehicle. Make sure you at least have the tools to perform basic …




Letter Re: Backup Electric Power Design Considerations

Hugh, Great article. On the connection from the box where you consolidate the power coming off the panels to the charge controller, it has been suggested to me that I use wire made for welding applications. I am told it has finer, more numerous strands of wire and therefore transfers more power, minimizing amperage loss. My source is a guy that builds high performance golf carts.. (Everything is relative.) Something called DelCity.net is where he goes. The author is right about storing gasoline produced in autumn. They put more butane in the gas for winter to help with cold weather …

Backup Electric Power Design Considerations, by Duliskov – Part 2

Energy Storage The only practical way to store electric energy is in chemical form, in batteries. There is loss of energy while it is being deposited into batteries, converted into chemical energy, and then also while the battery sits in storage (self-discharge). The output will be DC current. Batteries are built from units of two volts each. Six of these units make a 12-Volt battery, et cetera. Physically larger batteries are more susceptible to damage from rough handling (drops, vibration) because they use larger plates. Some batteries are of sealed type and require no maintenance; some are of open type …




Letter Re: Rust on a Stainless Steel Colt XSE Government Model

Good afternoon, I am reading the post regarding corrosion on Colt stainless handguns. I believe your response needs to be understood by all. Stainless steel was not developed as a permanent solution to corrosion, rather as a base metal that is able to withstand harsher environmental conditions longer. Another problem is that there are numerous types of stainless formulations which comprise the “pool” of available metals from which to choose. Unless you have a decent connection at Colt, you may never know what type of stainless was used to produce your pistol. If you knew what type of stainless was …
