... cmon EMF !!...

It seems that many person still think that in Canada we live in deep forest in a round wood beam house with 300baud internet... and have sun lightning 4 hour a day.....

Wake up all!.. we built the canadian arm robot for nasa, contributed for the A123 development and use 10mbits lan modem in majority of houses... :wink:

But.. maybe for the last pic i shown in this post with yellow wiring.. can be found in many university network!

Hi,

I worked on some video shoots in India.

The wires for the lights (1kw - 240V) were run by the "electrician".

He made up about a 30 or 40 foot run with 4 to 6 individual pieces of wire. For the splices he just twisted them together and added electrical tape. When he hit the wall he shoved the bare wires into the receptacles and jammed a wedge shaped piece of wood in for pressure.

I didn't believe this until I looked and saw that the US had an average download speed of 1.9Mbps, while Canada had an average of 7Mbps, and this was back in 2007 (Japan had an average of 61Mbps WTF!?).

That makes my far-above-national-average 6Mbps DSL line looks slow. :? Must upgrade to fiber!

Also: WOW that's a lot of ethernet cable in that last pic...

Damn it Dbass!! The idea is to keep them ignorant of what is up here. What you WANT an M1 tank parked on your lawn?!? Go watch H2O and the Trojan horse.

So next time they ask is that wiring job in Canada you say YES SIR on Parlament hill sir.

or a trip to the local stream still on the cards? how about Electricity and such ?

I seen some pics (some worse) of Indian wiring...as in the street wires on lamposts was doing
the emails rounds for a wile not long ago...

My "Spaghetti-Bowl":

At least that's multi-core wire.

Keep in mind I still had to fit the battery and controller in there...

Oh, and that yellow block-lookin' thing is a pair of Molexes covered in duct tape. :wink:

is it a BMS??

or I can see rotating switch.. and something that might be the back of BNS connector?... is it to select battery/cell voltage to display?

Yes, it measures voltages at multiple locations in the 102 NiMH cell string in my open-source Vectrix = "Vectux".

It also measures temperatures with the three switches on the left hand side.

Here is the front of it:

And here the schematic I used (Not including the thermistor switches):

As a Canadian, and an apprenticing electrician, I hate to bring this to your attention. But it needs to be known. Tell people you care about to watch themselves, how to protect themselves from things like this. The grid, and a lot of similarly aged infrastructures along with it - is crumbling before our eyes. The consequences can suck.

30W on 10AWG... ishhh!.. I agree.. this is not the best setup!

A great trick for 10AWG wires and up is to mod a 140W weller gun with shorter element!... I can solder 4AWG no prob.. cheap mod!

I can see easily shortening the element by about a centimeter from the existing bend to where I'd put in a new bend. Is that what you mean?
Would, in your estimation or experience, the flat spatula end then be suitable for soldering battery tabs or are soldering guns totally verboten on batteries?
The only thing I've used my freebie Weller gun for is cutting plastic.

Cheers for the tips Doctorbass! I already have a 100 watter used for my A123 M1 tabs.

Still curious about your mod though.

Happy Friday!
