Well, bad for you if it is a crappy option. The company doesn’t care for quality as the consumer has no other option. Hurray for Amazon, our everyday feeder. And for those working at Amazon, only one toilet break per week, as there are no other options for work!

Also if these are not load bearing beams ( they have been almost cut throughto allow the pipe going through), make the gap wider and put some isolation around the pipe. But only if the pipe is the case of the water problem

Ah I see now there is double thread 😶‍🌫️

You are right, of course. Also repetitive thermal expansion comes into play here. We can compare it with repairing a broken heating element or other single part, instead of replacing it. My patience to properly glue it was also part of failure, hehe.

I like aluminium powder idea. And use the metal bar as heatpipe is a good idea. I would not see temperature as problem as most materials you mention can handle 800 deg. The idea is that you can draw energy from it thus cooling it. I think a molten salt chamber uses this combination of fast transfer and high temperature

Unfortunately that would negate the high storage temperature of sand (up to 800 degree c) as water will turn into steam after 100deg. So it is either low temperature sand or water with lower energy density.

I follow this person already for a while, very interesting things he come up with

Good question on the low power of motors. Most of the low cost pumps have often DC brushed motors which do not need a controller to steer but uses a brush. Once there is not enough power (in the morning and evening) I think there will be a point where the power will be too low to overcome the torque and the motor stops. The centrifugal pump can still rotate easily compared to other types so I would expect the startup current will be low as well. Panels will deliver a constant voltage while the current will drop when light conditions are dropping. I think the simplest is to search for these aQuarium pumps (24/7 performance) on 12v but I doubt many cars/trucks have built in fishtanks ^^)

Very interesting read. Time to make these sensory excursions open for public to understand the clouds physical existence.

The summary pictures below

Nice to see / read. The super glue trick is nice to know. I also wanted to mention that the collection of pictures on the bottom is broken when you open them on movim.slrpnk.net
