/diy/ - Do It Yourself

You can do this easily with some scrapped liter bottles or something and cheapo tubes from a hardware store.
Very high torque so you should be able to lift water or something from low to high.

Try building a Minto wheel. Just get a scrap fresnel lens, point it at a rock in a tub of water or something. Insulate the tub so it keeps spinning overnight.

I think nowadays, after about 10-20 years something will become dated. Then gradually after that it becomes "retro" and "stylish". So your dad is partially right. A small minority of designs will never become dated (classic architectural styles of various regions).

You should try to do it underground, like Bane.

I will look into that.

Maximum of 5a.

Where can I find some higher voltage DC power sources, higher than 80V? The highest I've found so far is a 100V DC lab power supply for $239.

Pic related. mfw I can't find a high voltage DC power supply for less than $200.

Whole Foods distribution centers. That is all. Defenses are heavy though.

Just make a distiller. It's always the best. Get a fresnel lens to heat up the water.

Being the Joker is a lot cheaper...

You'll need a pneumatic drill to start...

Oh nice work OP. I think I remember this. Did you wind up using that electronic ranging device or choose manual calculations?

Not true... if you electrify the wheel so the cat gets shocked unless it's spinning at a certain rate, the cat will certainly exercise.

I don't need a bug out bag. Unlike you commie terrorists, I trust in government. If things go south, the National Guard will take me to the nearest FEMA camp by air conditioned train, where there'll be plenty of food and shelter. Enjoy your tents fools.

lol... that album name

For one person 2 acres should be plenty and then some, assuming OP has some heavy machinery.

Interesting. I figured there was some fancy way with some sort of EM signal to do it. Forget my year's worth of calculations.

I am jelly. That's an insanely good deal for that much square footage, and the fact that it's blasted out granite. All the ones one missilebases.com are over $200k. Willing to share the realtor or website? I'd surely like to see what else they have.

Abandoned mine? For the exterior elevation you can always use a laser rangefinder and forgo the ghetto pole setup, but in the tunnel you're probably screwed in the sense of endless triangle calculations depending on how long and twisty. The downward slope isn't a problem either. Just more triangles and measurements.
This bunker is interesting... how can I purchase one?

Depending on how long the tunnels are, would this work?

By all of those, I mean everything you've listed.

You can't learn anything without learning logic and reasoning first.

OP, not sure where you're going with the list. That's a good list of things you know, but it's important you have some structure.

Classical education is the best way to homeschool. It will first teach HOW to learn as well as logic, which is so important. If you just start teaching all of those, you're just cramming facts in his head.
