      Mmmm, even though it is generally sound safety advice. When you turn the key to the "OFF" position, that cuts power to the sparkplugs as well, so I don't see how you could start the engine unless you would leave the key in the idle position, no?

    My dilemma is the following: the place where I'm building the sauna has dimensions of 2,5m x 2,00 m x 2,5m (W:L:H), which gives a total of 12,5 square meters. Since I have a single phase electric system, the maximum I could probably go for the electric heater is 6kW. Most websites claim that a 6kW heater is good for up to 8-9 sq.m. I could also go for a more powerful heater (8kW or 9kW), but then I'll have to install a three phase system and that costs more than 500 EUR, so I wonder if it's worth it. In the end, with a 6kW it will just take a little longer to heat up the place, but it should be OK, right? I'll make sure to apply at least 5cm of insulation on every wall plus the ceiling. What is your personal opinion about this, Marek? I'm curios to hear. Thank you in advance!

    • @MarekVacek
      @MarekVacek 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@gablan1468 If you can run 6kW on single phase (is this dedicated cable only for this and thick enough? 6 kW for single phase seems on the higher limit for normal wiring at home), than the only downside is heat up time. If you have the sauna outside, so it starts at some minus celsius, that also adds some start up time (opposite of having the sauna inside the house). My guess is you could be looking at something like 70-80mins, 0°C to 80°C, while using the 6kW (it's a wild guess though). All that said €500 isn't all that much money, considering the other costs and having the thing ready quickly ready when your wife or friends suggest "let's go to sauna" is pretty nice feature.

Pokud se můžu zeptat, dostane se teplota v sauně s těmito kamny na cca 100 stupňů? Zvažuji, jaké použít dveře, zda takové celosklo, nebo nebo dřevěné s izolací a dvojsklem. Zvažoval bys nyní jiné dveře, nebo jsi s těmito spokojený? Jak po těch letech vypadají palubky za kamny? Furt dumám nad nějakou akumulační ochrannou stěnou, ale je fakt, že já chci použít kamna na zeď, tak nevím, jestli se dá srovnávat. Předem díky a měj se. Robert

    Dobrý den Marku. Děkuji za video. Mám stejný vermikompostér ale v hnědé barvě. Koupila jsem ho začátkem dubna. Jelikož je hnědý tak je při otevření viditelně obsypán na bocí těmi bílými broučky. Mně se jejich množství ale zdá dost velké, je to v pořádku? Také mám pocit, že žížaly skoro nejí. Všude čtu jak je krmí 1x za týden, ale mně přijde, že mají stále stejné množství nezpracovaných zbytků. Kontrolovala jsem zda žijí a jsou ok. Vaše video mě teď překvapilo tím kolik zbytků jste neustále přidával. Jsem tedy teď nalomená zda prostě zbytky pravidelně přidávat bez ohledu zda vidím zda ty předchozí byly zpracovány. Nějak se mi to vermikompostování nedaří. Mimochodem - také jsem začínala s tím, že jsem ho měla venku, ale žížaly utíkaly. Teď jak je v interiéru je klid. Díky za rady.

    • @MarekVacek
      @MarekVacek 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Co se týče rychlosti zpracování, tak to bude asi především počtem žížal. Ta žížala žije překvapivě dlouho, až několik let, takže u vás teď ze začátku bude jejich množství pořád přibývat a s tím i jejich spotřeba "jídla". Já to tam sypu i když to minulé ještě není zpracováno. Občas je tam třeba i nějaká plíseň, ale naučil jsem se to moc neřešit a ty žížaly si s tím vždy nějak poradily. Ti bílí broučci se objevují a pak zase mizí, je to prostě jakási sezónní "havěť".

      Soooo, this a bit tricky one to answer: LED strips are designed to run up to about 60°C (140F). On the internet people will argue that they become damaged over 100°C (210F). So, if you go by the manual, they are surely to fail, right? Now, that we have this out of the way I will tell you this: I run a regular RGBW LED strip in a chunky aluminium profile and it's fine (more than 4 years now). I spoke to professional sauna installers and they told me they run basic LED strips in commercial saunas and they are fine as well. The special IP68 or whatever high temp strips are just not worth the hassle or the cost. If the LEDs fail somewhere down the line, it will be cheaper to replace than the special ones.

    It is not worm tea it is leachate. Leachate is anaerobic and is mostly bad. Real compost tea aerobic is made with finished compost and most require an air pump or some method to get constant air in like mixing with a stick. Compost tea must be used immediately after air flow stops.

      Found this: "Worm tea is a light amber liquid that comes from the worm farm, it is aerobic and has been through the gut of healthy worms. Leachate is a dark, sometimes foul smelling liquid that has not been through the gut of healthy worms and so contains bacteria that is not safe." So I guess it would depend of the balance in the worm farm, so it's not rotting food scraps that are causing the liquid?
