I'm going to build another two 6S packs and four 3S packs when I get home. I am going to try a test flight of 6S3P which will help with the voltage sag....

I tested the spot welder on used alkaline cells and each weld required a lot of force to pry off the cell, in fact I had to use pliers to roll the strip...

Should a band let loose or burn up, that will kill off the battery pack it happened in, since the pack is in series, which would put the full load onto...

And today a 2 cent 8bit MCU is many times more powerful and can be programmed in C. Couldn't have gotten to this point without doing everything mentioned...

I have a 306B that will do 1000 watts, 6S. I charge with a parallel board so I can crank up the current and take advantage of the watts. I also have another...

It's really interesting to see how computers evolved from punch cards that were used on textile machines and early CNC then to analog and early forms...

I was born 6 years after that core memory card was built. My first computer was a 486dx-33, 8MB RAM, 5.25" and 3.5" disk drives, 2400bps modem,...

The nickel strips are also kept very short. The heat I felt were from the batteries. If the strips get hot, they could melt the PETG housings, which hasn't...

I had a feeling it was magnetic, pretty cool stuff!...

Distilling is the only way to really renew the IPA, many resins also contain pigments that will eventually kill the effectiveness.
If you have a...

Yep, I killed 20 of them until I figured out the right recipes!

Surface grinder?

I'm too young to even know what core memory is but it intrigues me. How does each bit get written, and how does it stay written?...

I have a hard time staying still to read a book, even a book I want to read. Same exact issue with sitting down to watch a movie, got too many "hands...

I put my probe somewhere in the hole and press cycle start
For the Bridgeport, this would be a handy tool, I've gotten away with just a dial...

Are the current ratings for continuous use? My application has short duty periods, around 8 minute flights. I have since bought a soldering iron that...

I had two successful flights this morning. Not as much punch as a LiPo pack, but much longer flight times, flying around at half throttle to keep current...

Most people in the R/C hobby solder them, I'm going a bit rogue with the spot welder and the thin strips, I do have remaining questions if it can handle...

[RB211]

If you have a soldering iron with a massive sized tip, one that has enough thermal mass to not have the battery and wire act as a heat sink, you can get...

Here's the spot welder, works for intended purpose of batteries and thin nickel strips. https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Mach...-Equipment-Sto...
