Would love to see some pics of the engine internals etc. I qualify as a motorhead.

Looks like you did a great job ! Very nice workmanship ! Much more difficult than the single cylinder engines that are so common.

Important to not that those statements on humidity are referring to relative humidity. Although they are true they are a bit misleading. Simply putting...

[Sparky_NY]

The dehumidifier is typically a lower btu system and runs for long periods at a time. AC units are typically higher btu's and run for short periods more...

[Sparky_NY]

On this whole AC vs dehumidifier concept it might help to think in terms of dew point rather than relative humidity. In both systems the evaporator coils...

No idea how they came to pick the names of the devices. Some do resemble a piston in looks, others look like a tiny rocket ship. It does function...

Trane made two and three speed A/C units for years with expansion valves, as one example. The newer inverter technology compressors have a benefit...

[Sparky_NY]

[Sparky_NY]

Yup, they do make both styles but the ground down/cord down config is the most common by far. I have not seen the reverse config on a device but...

They are out there, hair dryers with GFCI on the cord, wall wart power supplies/chargers, not common thats true but they are out there. Receptacle...

[Sparky_NY]

Many cords have right angle type plugs on the end, ground down makes the cord point down rather than up which would cause the cord to sharply loop down,...

I have the twin to the saw Tundra shows. Got mine at auction for $180, cleaned it up, put a newer motor on it with a VFD eliminating the original variable...
