RE: Re: RE: Ultra capacitors for cranking
Taking a stab at the logic here, I'd think that the advantage is that they're probably lighter and the combination of capacitor and smaller battery is lighter than a larger battery of equivalent cranking effort.
I think the smaller battery would...
Sorry guys, I didn't have a camera. If you're wanting the truck, you can call the owner and get him to send pictures. ;-)
El Guapo, down in the parking lot behind the Star Bar and other shops along that side of Moreland.
Sunday, I saw a CUCV with a for sale sign in the windows sitting in a parking lot.
It was in decent shape. It still has the brush guard and two antennas mounts/bases on either side. Still in 383 green CARC and has the bridge plate. It doesn't look like it's been civilianized at all save for...
Your return fuel from the IP to the tank should be a pretty substantial amount. A solid stream. NOT a dribble. I had this problem on my deuce with the 2nd Fuel tank. I thought it was a fuel filter issue, that wasn't it. Perhaps the in Tank pump? Nope, that was in good order. I gave up and...
RE: Re: RE: My tool trailer conversion for business use
Wouldn't forcing a sewage backup be a sanitation hazard that the public health folks would specifically prohibit?
So I have lost 2 teeth on my 5th gear of my transmission. I need to probably swap it out as the truck is sitting at a friend's place in Northern Virginia and I'm in Georgia. It'll be hard to drive back and forth to do the work then order parts and then do that again.
Anyone know of a resonable...
I'm curious if you could use something with 802.11G or similar. You don't need a lot of power and if you're having to move around in the vehicle a lot you're not going to be worrying so much if the Captain in the Command RV is getting a good signal or not. But you could use an omni-directional...
Thing is though, a laser like that shown in that link will likely burn out the CCDs in those cameras.
Do you have options for transmitting the Camera images to a remote source (command truck) or logging them to a digital media recorder? I'm not sure if a harddrive would be good or not. It'd...
The 1022 is limited on weight of the container. The M1022A1 can carry more. The smaller container mobilizers are limited even more on weight of the container. A longer container is also a problem for the M1022 slick model. The TM is odd, it says that payload is 15,000 lbs and the total weight is...
Potential problem with those cameras. What if a subject used a medium powered laser to hit your cameras? That would blind the crew. It would seem that having backup glass periscopes and Laser filtering goggles would be a wise addition to the design.
So, do any of the officers here have any comments about the 1/3rd of the New Orleans Police department that didn't exist but was being paid? Someone was being paid, someone was picking up checks, filling in time sheets and otherwise doing all the paperwork details one must do in order to get a...
RE: Re: Don
Not that I recall. I think, if anything, under a domestic or national emergency, property may be confiscated as needed. This isn't so much MVs but anything that's needed. If say, some NG troops are short of transport and need vehicles, they could send a few troops and a LT around...
Re: Don't sweat the small stuff
Actually I have. I parked in front of my apartment years ago in the area where the signs indicated that the allowed zone was. A county cop came through and ticketed everyone. I went to the court, contested it, another citizen also contested it. There were...
Attaching back to the block means you have ALL that force on that one attachment point. You're better off spreading it over several points if you can.
Between my truck and another truck, I'd prefer to have two blocks on the pulled truck and one on mine with the last line going to my other...
Feh, I get attention from the cops, when they see the license plate and make a quick query, it goes from, "Is that road legal?" to "Hey, that's pretty cool, how much does one of those costs?"
The hour spent getting raked over the coals, if somewhat polite, but still with threats to haul you in...
RE: M125 Wrecker Artilliary Trunnion
The coil isn't what makes it old school, it's the Generator and separate voltage regulator. Really old school would be a relay operated Amperage and voltage regulator system with a carbon pile. ;-)
Regarding those bolts, you might need some specialty sizes...
