Bobbing Boat

It's freezing -3°C tonight and will freeze -2°C to -4°C every night for at least a week.

I won't get back to the boat for another 36 hours to light the wood stove, so I hope the electric heater, which I left on low, does its job. If not, this weather might be hard on the plumbing. It'll certainly be hard on me once I am back. 🥶

The elderly lady who is visiting the hospital next week for #chemotherapy treatment has now had a #FREE #gas #water #heater installed by our subcontractors.

This was totally free of any cost, with no charge under any circumstances to her, we now know that when she returns home after every treatment, she will have running hot water without the worry of covering the cost, or borrowing.

She is a lovely lady who deserves a break, her next door, #neighbour, called us and asked if we could help.

Wow! I really appreciate how this person approached creating this #SolarPunk #Heater. The steps and information are clear and concise. Especially like the layout drawing and setting the components in place.

I already have the temp controller and was wondering about relays when the demand is higher than the switch rating.

What is your favorite intro solar or electrical source / video for novices like me?

I got stuck, troubleshooting my #BTT #BigTreeTech #Octopus 1.1 mainboard, installed in newly assembled #RatRig #V-core #3Dprinter, running #RatOS aka #Klipper.

Both #nozzle (#extruder) #heater and #hotbed one do not warm up. Beyond all doubt (using external power sources and hairdryer) I confirmed that both thermistors, heaters and wiring are ok.

Under warranty, RatRig sent me replacement board, which I configured, flashed with updated firmware and got the same error.
I also tried to redirect the nozzle heater power to another pin (see in the config file at lib.tepewu.pl/f/8f1d29fe05d44c…) where I hooked up the multimeter. Nothing happened, when I set up nozzle temp to 50*C - after timeout I had the same error "extruder is not heating fast enough", thus klipper shutdown.

I cannot believe to have such a bad luck to got two boards with the same hardware fault (especially that steppers and hotbed probe work perfectly), so it is something I do not know - and I run out of ideas.

Please, somebody suggest something new. Hjalp.

It isn't going to happen where I am anytime soon.

#EVs just aren't practical for some people here. I regularly do a trip where I drive ~300km, stay for five hours, and drive home again. In the winter, when it's -30C, and you're driving into a (minimum) 110km/h headwind, you need the heater on full blast, all the way.

An #EV doesn't have a lot of waste heat to spare, so they need an #electrical #resistance #heater. Heat pumps don't work at -30C either.

new zine with updated instructions on diy building a copper coil heater, formatted for printing and reading, courtesy of @0batty_bat0 (love the design, the photos are super helpful!)

"let's build: d.i.y. heaters, step by step instructions"

archive.org/details/heater-blo

for production, print the formatted version duplex, short-side. if your printer lacks duplex printing, print odd pages first, then flip over pages and reinsert into printer, then print even pages. fold and staple in center at top and bottom.

The title a short instructional zine features watercolor and pen art of two little rats in a workshop. They are working on building a copper-coil heater. The title reads "Let's Build: D.I.Y. Heaters". The subtitle reads "Step by step instructions".
The first page of the zine reads: "Some random Anarchists from the Pacific Northwest have been building and distributing copper coil tent heaters to our friends who live outside. This step-by-step DIY tutorial is based on HeaterBloc's original instructions with some modifications we've found helpful. Please feel free to print and distribute this zine."
Some notes on safety: • Please make sure the heater is not near anything flammable (tarps, clothing, bedding or propane tanks) • Allow for proper ventilation to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning • 91% isopropyl alcohol is the cleanest burning fuel we've used and anything lower than 91% has been known to create more soot (which will increase the risk of fire) as well as more harmful fumes/particulates in the air causing nausea and headaches • In extreme cold weather there is a possibility that the glass jar can crack. (The flame should go out if this happens, or if the jar were to tip over, but it would be a good idea to have a fire extinguisher on hand just in case.) • Soldering instead of using J-B Weld is a more durable and heat resistant way to create a seal where the copper coil and the lid meet. The seals are less likely to leak or degrade over time. Stay safe, stay warm! (heart emoticon)
3rd Step - Bending the Coils. You will need: • Jig (You can also just use a 1 inch dowel if you don't want to make a jig) • Clamps to hold the jig to the table Instructions: 1. Put one end of the coil against the left block and brace it so it stays put 2. Bend copper around the dowel twice so that the second end is up against the right block. There are also warnings that explain how to adjust the 12 inch jig shown in the diagram to a 10 inch one, and to keep the individual copper coil loops form touching.
