here in rajasthan we use those kinds of coolers.. and they work fantastic.. yeah they don't work quite well when it's rainy.. but they do work in summer though.. the thing you got is just too small.. I am currently using one.. in daytime outer temps here are easily 40-50°C but with cooler I can be comfortable in my room.. so our coolers do work.. yours is just bad😂
Siri I need to know if the door won’t open I’ve already changed over the heating element I’ve changed over the heating fuse and I am not spending any more money I refuse to I drill a couple of little tiny holes in the door I don’t know what to do but I’m not getting that latch and taking it all apart again can I do it without two forms of soap
So if your door doesn’t open anymore and it’s broken but you have an open door with no door on it for the second wash would it be OK to put one of those three prep packets right on the bottom of the dishwasher to wash your dishes because mine go in pretty clean there’s never any food on them at all
I love your content, you do an outstanding job, thanks for explaining this cooktop tech to me. I had a couple of questions/comments: 1- 5:56 Are you sure it is nichrome wire in the cooktop? Kanthal wire might be in there, it is more durable. 2- 30:13 It cannot be "carbon buildup", none of the switch components contain any carbon 3- 33:04 My induction cooktop's touch controls work really well, and there's nothing to collect food/dirt. I hope you can move up to induction some day. 4- In my opinion the most amazing thing shown in the video is the glass of the cooktop surface. No melting, cracking, warping -- that is some amazing technology.
These videos talking about clever but outdated technology are constant reminders of just how lucky we are with the technology that is commonplace today. Sony's modern mirrorless cameras in particular can get usable footage and photos under moonlight with a fast enough lens. It's pretty uncommon these days to even need flash a for most low light pictures. As a kid learning photography with an old Canon SD1000 that needed a lot of light to get good photos without a flash, I knew the tech would get better, but I vastly underestimated how much better it would get in a relatively short span of time. We truly our spoiled with modern photography gear.
Here in the UK a lot of our hobs now have rings with multiple elements (3 I think generally) that have 6 fixed settings using combinations of the elements. This has the advantage that each heat setting is constant but the disadvantage that there are only 6 settings and sometimes you want an in between one.
I dont mean to be a dick but if you live anywhere outside of the city these cars are useless. Trying to create an infrastructure when the technology is not even there is just bonkers too. What is the whole point? To save the planet? Ok so tell china and india to stop polluting so much, or tell all the politicians and celebrities to stop using private jets. This whole thing is useless as far as cars go. You really wanna save the planet and get power for your car with clean energy, bring back nuclear power plants, modern ones that will never fail with new technologies.
Is it a doc or a KVM switch? Or is KVM switch just an outdated term? I use a KVM switch to use the same keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc between my work laptop and my desktop.
what you didn't discuss is how reliable simmerstats are, there are many original ones working ovens from the 1960s, or older. working resistive heaters has response latency issues for cooking, but you can work around it by balancing the switch setting with the heat retention of your cookpot, and this works better than not have any heat when your induction or ceramic heater breaks at unknown times. While easy to repair, induction heaters tend to need service in 5-7 yrs of daily use [they are rated in hours of operation], and it can be difficult and costly to service in all in one ovens, versus stand alone hot plates, which can be walked to a technician. OTAH, your ceramic heater design is more reliable but its still less robust than a calrod heater and the heater cost 3-4 more than the coil type. if you buy a coil based oven, chances are its a one and done purchase for your lifetime, and if not, its easier to service, just it has no style.
Mind boggling they were able to make this and make it affordable. This goes to show people were just as smart or smarter than us and teh devices were just as complex. Material changes allow usnto reset complexity and we start over reaching a limit of complexity before the next material break through. Clocks were maybe even more complex. Then electronics invented , then semiconductors etc.
Note this system is small... I mean really small you puted a fan on it in any system if you put a fan on it you make in it bigger in kW or W of refrigeration capacity this fridge runs with an 1/6 of HP compressor when you installing the fans inside you need bigger compressor to withstand the load also the condenser design on this fridge is pretty TERRIBLE! you have a big flat surface area instead of the typical "shelf type" condenser you need air circulation to the condenser to work properly
I realized towards the end of the video that this is basically behaving as a kind of square-wave oscillator (two states being open or closed) being controlled by an exponentially “charging” device (the metallic strip) with the duty cycle being controlled by a threshold of that device’s “charge”… So this is basically a passive 555 Timer? TECHNOLOGY. CONNECTIONS.
Why do American stoves have their knobs and controls at the back? Isn't there a high risk to get burned when having to reach over any boiling pots to make an adjustment?
Side note about dumb coil stove tops: they work so dumb, that when ambient temp is below 0 degrees C - they turn heater on until it reaches about 20 deg C, turn off, and cycle like this permanently. So if you need to deploy one of them in low temps - you need an additional switch to turn them completely off, when they are not in use. Or you'll burn a lot of electicity.
Is this really still sold today? I would have assumed that today they simply use a microchip and a few relays. At least our stove clicks audibly with every on-off cycle, which suggests a relay. (It also only has touch controls and no physical controls).
I hate the touch pads and button controls of tadays stoves. I am legally blind and i want either a knob or the old 7 button selector buttons that alot of electric stoves had in the 80s
If you include metric units in your video, people all over the world won't have to stop your video and start calculating units, saving time and energy. You said you have too much time on your hands, so maybe you can add the most commonly used unit system at least in text form in the video like many others are doing already. No hard feelings though. Anyway, units aside, I really like you videos and never miss them.
