Yes, you could start there and later play with thrust and wings.

Yes, those could work. But proper performance is designed first, not stylish appearance and looks. Did you omit landing gear in your sketch because of looks too, or belly landing is the plan ?

At such speed, flying just above ground, better buy the casket pre-flight. A tenth of a degree change in altitude control will fill the casket, but in pieces...

A very long open canal dug on plain soil has contaminated water, or seawater if you prefer. As very long means nothing; assume 10 Km. Placing an electrode touching that water, with 120VAC 60Hz phase from mains; a sustantial current flows trough the water into ground. (actually a 60W bulb in series is nearly at full brilliance !, say 80% (~0.4A) as conductivity is very high.) Current path: 120VAC phase-------------------lightbulb---------------------------immersed in murky water-----------------------canalground. [The bulb acts a current limiter] How far reaching is the effect of the current ? Is there a way to calculate such distance? Obviously if done at a seashore, its effect will not reach the next beach. Once I had the opportunity to satisfy my curiosity and dropped the 'grounding' electrode into the sea while arc welding on a 30m vessel next to a pier. Welding was difficult, current setting had to be raised in that condition, but was possible. The current spread in seawater was near 100 Amperes. Zillions of marine microorganisms in the current path died instantly for sure. But how large could the affected area had been ?

-No salt- Marine life being fresh water aquatic life, desertic areas able to get irrigation at any season, steaks with mined salt and pepper... Any major implications, good and bad coming to mind ? Are areas with multitude of lakes and no seashores better or worse for something ? Oceans freezing/melting at higher temperature... much less electrical conductivity and ions in the seas... Would there be more or less cloud cover ? Different weather ?

Hi. Is there an external distinctive, simple visual sign on a domestic refrigerator compressor to tell if it is scroll or reciprocating, other than researching the label and its manufacturer/model data sheet ?

Agree. A 555 circuit has nothing to do here. Available at any hardware store : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001337AO2/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=1535523722&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0050N7SM0&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0HGRHGFRFQYC2GZW5HVB With not much skills and permissions, think you would have to run wiring to the inside... Well, instead, route a fishing monofilament from the door actuated lever to a flag inside. Can signal the closure by pulling something Just to give a non electrical alternative. And you will have fun...

From the title of your post, a relay does that. When energized, opens a set of contacts (and/or closes another set if fitted) From your explanation; the simple way is to tap onto the circuitry on the door opening (if electric operated) There has to be a built-in switch that knows the door status. Do you have a schematic for it? Depending on the model (if electric), door opening mechanisms may have an overhead lamp when open. Extending such to a pilot light inside should work. If the door is manually operated, well, a switch at the convenient place will turn on an indicator inside. Probably a few inches from the bottom of tracks. But it is unknown, your skills level and what door you have in order to suggest methods.

Thanks, imatfaal. Hope the efforts from administrators to restore that thread become successful. The original poster has been left in limbo with a discussion of interest.

Hi. A few days ago, I replied to a thread and am unable to find it for a follow up. ----> Google does report it, ----> But SFN does not : Suggestions please ?

The aim was not the evolution, but the degeneration. Suggesting that the English evolves by disrespecting it saddens me

Great !

There has been improvements in simplicity, reliability, functionality, durability and efficiency in mechanics, hydraulics, architecture, engineering... from early designs from past years. What parts, joints, geometry, dimensions, efficiency, design in the human body would you like to see improved ?

Rotting English... by laziness. The words 'laboratory'; 'identification'; 'abdominals' are gone ? 'Madam' is offensive ? An apostrophe has to be tossed in ? Female dog ? Three in the afternoon is being called 'night' ? I thought nights started at sunset ! 'Dinner' replaced by 'lunch' -- Isn't that what kids take to school ? Supper. What was that ? A ginecologist is now an alphabet soup. There is no more amplifiers or Amperes, now it is 'amps'... 'Googled' this or that... If you 'search' for something you are saying it wrong... 'Software' ? ; 'Booting up' ? Come on ! News redacted in convoluted phrasing to save ink ? Is a dozen 'you know' per minute the way to talk ? This can continue for pages and pages... and the crowds eager to follow whatever crooked word. Sorry; English is not my first language, but find it degenerating fast and nobody cares a bit, nor efforts are put to demonstrate education. ----> Is there no entity policing the correct use of this language ?

Coincide with arc's suggestion about the location it hooks up to. With the door upholstery removed, place a strong light inside the door and use a mirror to see the mechanism. Murphy told me the nylon clip 17 34 for the rod tip may have fallen inside to the most inaccessible crevice. All efforts exhausted, the other door may provide a sample for reassembly location. Sometimes, there is visual access by removing the external door handle first, which means you will end with two rods dislodged Whenever you become an expert on the task, you are welcome to do it in my LandRover... twice.

That is unusual. It has worked for me fime testing ignition coils, several times, jumping a spark across the spark plug. What is the measured AC voltage on the primary while energized ? Plan B : Get an automotive relay and connect its common and normally closed contacts in series to your 12V DC battery source. It will provide a faster turn-off. Let me see if I find a schematic for your better understanding... +12V--------------C---/ .----NC------------coil primary-------------GND NC------------relay coil----------------GND In other words, both coils in parallel betwee the NC contact of the relay and battery minus. But remember the spark plug thread must be connected to the secondary or common, whatever your coil has. Here is something : http://www.popsci.com/diy/article/2009-12/shocking-truth-how-make-high-voltage-sparks Come back with results. If you cannot make it work and short on time... try a gas stove spark module, available from most discarded ones or at the appliance parts store.

Some clever development shown here : ---->

Transformers run on alternating current. That ignition coil is a transformer. What you heard does not matter. Nothing to elaborate; D O I T !

Come up, bring your explanation. ----->

You need to read this and its embedded links along the paragraphs... -----> http://amasci.com/miscon/whatis.html

MMK: The coil 'metal body' for that Suzuki one is still its non-insulated metal body iron core, as the bracket seems insulated on rubber mounts, or one of the primary terminals is also common with the secondary. It has to connect to the spark plug thread. To see pulses on pin 3 you need to use an oscilloscope. A DC volt meter will not tell such, will show high or low depending on the oscillator status, or somewhere in between for AC scale, which may kind of detect/read the oscillation. If the contraption is not going to operate in a vehicle, you do not need to make it work with a 12 Volt battery nor the oscillator circuitry. Pick a 'wall wart' 120VAC to 12VAC transformer and connect your coil primary to it, nothing else. Watch were you put your fingers or you may get the jiggles.

Is the ignition coil metal body connected to the spark plug thread ? You need to probe for pulsing at pin 3 and bases of transistors.

Abrasion of the skirt edge. It does make contact with rough soil surface. The smoothest ride is on a frozen lake. Smooth land is more efficient, as the soil does not deform under the craft as water surface does, making it more concave at lower speeds. Riding on an even slightly inclined pavement makes very difficult to maintain heading. A calm river is a very pleasant ride. Find somehow to ride on one, and you may get hooked. And do not bring the throttle down on fast turns ! You may rollover ! It will be noisy and wetty...
