So, the camp is still buzzing, hm?
depends on what you find interesting.
few people find similar things interesting.
I find lots of stuff interesting, but I only have a few things i tend to activly think about.
mostly "things I would like to build but will never have the resources to build"
ah, so stuff like smithing swords then?
sounds like an interesting enough starting point, I imagine building things would be a common enough interest
close, I would like to build an engine form raw stock but I have no experience in anything of the sort.
well neither do
unfortunately
found some guy on youtube rebuilding a really old CAT engine and thought "that looks simple enough"
lol
the combustion process that engines use is simple in concept.
@-@
well, to be fair those old engines were very simple, i'm lucky enough to be driveing a truck older then me for work right now.
in practice, it takes some machining
ooh
as far as engines go I find myself wondering why we don't see the valve train being done by electronics rather then haveing a cam shaft.
I know the tech is out there and it seems like it would make the engine easy to tune, and it could be tuned on the fly.
hmm
I never really given any thought to engines except for maintaining cars.
that's fair, I kinda want to be able to do my own work on my own truck but the electronics are a bit overwhelming for me, mostly because the wireing is a rats nest in most everything.
oh yeah
especially when it comes to building a PC
the wiring gets everywhere
even though I would still take it to a shop most of the time, it's nice to know how it is built and wired so I can take a good guess at what is wrong.
at least in a PC everything is more or less standardized.
mmm
I guess so
When you're picking parts you have to make sure that the CPU and PSU and Motherboard
can handle it
but yah, take that and scale it up to about 10 or 20 feet, now make it so the case covers most of the wires and needs heavy equipment to move.
hell yeah
can i post youtube links here?
I don't know, check <#463041536003932170>
that's what a truck is like.
what's worse is the one I have is a bit of a hodgepodge.
oof
You can post links in here, but they won't embed (precaution for new folks in case folks come in to spam unsavoury images to get the server taken down)
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee SCP-81723897213721398 has escaped confinement!
from what i know, the brand of truck no longer services the brand of engine, then I know the fuse box got replaced at least once, and the gauge panel.
the good news is the brand of engine is one of the most common so most shops can service it just fine.
