IGBT testing
Please note that this is likely EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. This was done without an isolation transformer, and therefore without current limiting. Electricity can kill you and it will probably hurt the whole time. A lot.
This is an extremely crude test using an IGBT, 555 timer and a few misc bits.
Overall I would rate this proof of concept a success. The transistor didn't seem to really warm up at all. This part is pretty amazing. IHW30N110R3. Digikey and Mouser both sell these for under $3.60 each in quantities of 10. Seems like a flat out bargain for the capabilities.
Values for my 555 were 3.9K, 1.2K and .01UF. I will be adding a pot to vary the duty cycle.

Eagle SX4 driving in the dark
มุมมอง 172 ปีที่แล้ว
Just a drive around of my AMC Eagle in the dark. This is a very early run post fuel cell. I'm still trying to get the IC mounted hence the poor (single) head light. The idle's also a bit high obviously, but it lugs down fairly significantly in gear. I'm just excited to have forward and reverse honestly. The car its self steers lightly and seems nimble. Can't wait to get it into 4WD (needs vac l...
3D printer nozzle quality BEWARE

I've been having some printing problems after I redid my hot end. I discovered that there may have been some quality issues with print nozzles. I changed it out and we'll see where we wind up.
Edelbrock Float discovery pre rebuild
มุมมอง 152 ปีที่แล้ว
Discovered that this edelbrock float wasn't right. Thankfully I didn't rebuild the carb and discover it later. I thought I had a very lean idle, not a rich one so this kind of took me by surprise.
Eagle startup and run
มุมมอง 152 ปีที่แล้ว
Just a brief running of my 1982 AMC Eagle. The carb is a Janky Holley I stuck on there because the AFB was giving me problems. She's a stock cammed wonder, so obviously the idle needs adjustment and all that. Plan is to rebuild the AFB and toss it on.
Fastro new exhaust video inside vehicle
มุมมอง 204 ปีที่แล้ว
This is the new video on my 1992 Astro V8 swap. Much quieter than just the resonators were now that it's run out to the back. I could probably stick a stereo in this and it'd be pretty okay. 383CI, World SR Torquers somewhere around 9.5-10:1 compression, long tube headers, resonators only and a full 2.5" exhaust to the back.
Exhaust walkaround idle
มุมมอง 404 ปีที่แล้ว
This is an idle exhaust walk around after I got the full exhaust in and welded up. Resonators only, 383 CI World SR Torquer Heads 276HR cam. Still needs some tuning but I was probably at about 14" HG at idle. Should be a runner when I get it right.
Joliet Storm 23 May 2020
มุมมอง 4174 ปีที่แล้ว
Here's a video of me walking down some streets looking at the storm that happened in Joliet. The geyser is a manhole for a storm sewer that apparently couldn't take the pressure. It blew the manhole covers off at least 2 farther manholes up the street. There was extensive flooding, power loss, some trees down but no injuries of people that were clearly visible thankfully.
Lug pattern change tool over view
มุมมอง 8K4 ปีที่แล้ว
I'm not quite done with it at this point but I need to add a third standoff for drilling the final size. I had trouble finding anyone to convert my 9 inch axles to a 5X5 lug pattern. I decided I would make my own jig to do it therefore this is what I came up with. It's the center of a brake rotor (I think is from a Jeep) that I took some 80 grit sand paper to in order to enlarge the center hole...
filling head crossover passages with aluminum
มุมมอง 534 ปีที่แล้ว
A video of me filling up the exhaust crossover on heads for my MK-II Lemans Engine with aluminum. This is an effort to get them ready to port when I feel like it and mostly due to me not wanting to have to make a blocking plate for my modified intake. Not a lot to see due to the mood lighting but you can watch stuff glow.
Aluminum smelter first run.
มุมมอง 154 ปีที่แล้ว
I had this built except the burner but never got to test it. I had one a long time ago lots cruder than this so I figured why not test it since I have the time. Banter is 100% NFG. Just enjoying having this up since I built it last year and never got it tested before winter.

How to check a timing curve without a distributor machine

How to check a timing curve without a distributor machine
@SkippiiKai I was testing at that frequency as a precursor to running this with ferrite. The higher the frequency the less material you need in the transformer. The commercial psu I found this igbt in was running at 40Khz so I was not too concerned. You are 100% right on the NTC resistor! I hooked this to a treadmill motor and promptly burned the bridge rectifier up. I really should get back to tinkering with this.
Why such a high frequency to drive the IGBT? That will just heat the IGBT up and make it slightly more prone to oscillatiions (keep in mind that at high frequencies, that heating element behaves more like a coil, due to its shape.) I'd also highly recommend putting an NTC between the bridge rectifier and the cap to protect the diodes from inrush.
This is very interesting. Just wondering though why it was necessary to weld up the old holes? This is a very GOOD idea. I will see about duplicating this same jig for mine. I never thought about using an old rotor or brake drum for a fixture but it appears to work very well. Great Job!
The reason I had to weld holes is that the 9" has a hole in the hub for unbolting the retainers of the axle shaft. In doing such, it means that the bolt holes are too close to each other to just drill out. If it was 4.75" or 4.5" I may have been able to cheat welding the holes. If I had an axle that was originally C-clip style (thinking 8.8", 8.5", 7.5" etc. I'd have just put the new set between the old ones.
Don't do it!!! It ain't worth it! Lol it'll desecrate a beautiful work of art. If you have recoil issues hold it high and tight. I made a whole video about how to hold an old revolver with panel grips and have no recoil issues. The video link below should solve any recoil issues you have. The grips were made perfectly for the guns. You gotta hold it high and tight. th-cam.com/video/hmIINRz5Kuc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=U389SSeIOrKr4_an
I still have the old grips, it is not like I used them for kindling or anything. They will go with the gun should I sell it, which I wont.
When you have an NPN and you find out you have a PNP
Yep, I'm sure your target audience is out there somewhere.
once a amazing land replete of culture and history now a hellhole of shameless goldiggers, would you trust them to make your baby formula?
PNP?!?
Have you powder coated these bullets?
Yes I used to use harbor freight red and use dark blue from Eastwood. I really preferred the harbor freight I wish they still made it. It works well I do it unsized and then size after. These can be finicky about coal just as a warning.
With flyback(Zvs circuit)?
No fly back just a neon sign transformer.
Awesome job.
I wish hogue made this laser for s&w j frame m36-1 squre butt .38spl.
Lol why? These guns weren't designed to be" tactical." they're already super accurate. By the way, I think crimson trace makes those
Check out Missouri Bullet Co... they have a Hi Tech coated bullet that works great
awesome
For me Tightgroup works well in 45 Auto with 200g cast, but I also haven’t had great results in 9mm. In 9mm with cast bullets I’ve also had Bluedot work well, along with Unique.
The 124 tumble lube shoots well for me, powder coated in Eastwood LFB with Unique. Wanted one load that is reliable and accurate in everything from micro 9 to pcc.
What pcc are you using. A Ruger pc9?
@@nunyabusiness3082 Yes.

A casualty of me leaving Illinois. Gone, but not forgotten.
@@thetriode Sorry to hear, but thanks for the update!
How did you end up getting the piece out.. I have a 1990 Sierra sle same problem mine broke off like that
I popped the tail shaft and used a screwdriver. no muss no fuss.
OUTSTANDING!👍👍👍
Good video thanks
I use the Lee 124 grain tumble lube design for all my 9mm ammo. Works great right out of the mould without having to size the cast bullets. Rusty, K9POW in eastern Tennessee.
Good round with powder coating and sized to 356 out of my CZ Shaddow with 3.5gn BA 9 1/2 powder.
Good tool
Is that the Airweight?
Yes, it is an air weight.
Can I ask you a question. As I understand it, using your basic tools, its possible to measure and derive (Mechanical and Vacuum) measurements of Advance at various RPM levels and this is what creates your Advance Curve. Obviously you set Initial timing first by rotating distributor to line up with the desired degrees of advance....in my example I assume Ive set it at 4 degrees Initial Measure 1 (Initial + Mechanical advance eg 4 Degrees Initial Timing + Mechanical) = say the 16 degrees measured at 1500 rpm with no vacuum (therefore you can work out mechanical adv was 12 degrees). Measure 1 taken using timing light on crankshaft tape with VACUUM is DISCONNECTED from vacuum canister on distributor and the hose is plugged to either ported vacuum or manifold vacuum Measure 2 (Total Timing =Measure 1 ...which was 16 deg above + Vacuum advance) = say the 29 degrees measured at 1500 rpm with Vacuum connected (therefore you can work out Vacuum advance was 13 degrees). Measure 2 taken using timing light on crankshaft tape BUT VACUUM is CONNECTED from vacuum canister on distributor to either ported vacuum or manifold vacuum You do these same measures and calculations at various rpms and you can manually chart your advance curves. You can see what is specifically Mechanical advance, what is specifically vacuum advance at each of the various RPMs and therefore how they contribute to the total advance. If you have too much advance or not enough, you can play around with springs for mechanical advance and adjust the vacuum canister if you want to change vacuum advance
Informative video. Ref correct screwdriver size - Brownells has a nice set of bits for the S&W revolvers.
I'm a little late to this party but have a answer to the 124 RN. I found most of my load manuals state 124 lead to be seated at 1.050. Do the plunk test on your shortest chamber and seat accordingly.
Using straight wheel weights my lee 124gr TL drop at 120gr and my 125gr drop at 130gr
Not surprised. The fact that you are alloying makes the bullets lighter.
@@thetriode The 124 RN TL drops lighter but the 125gr RN is heavier, exact same mix, same pouring session.
But did it work lol
Yeah, it worked great. I didn't have to deal with a drain pan or that stuff
LOL squeeze the trigger and hang on.
Do you have a video of the INSTALLATION of these grips?
Very simple. One screw
Do you have the part number for the spring and grip. Thank you good video.
Can you give advice on which mould to get for powder coated bullets? Im starting to reload for a cz Shadow 2 and plan to do powder or poly coated bullets. Im not sure which mould to get. Im tending to the 124Gn round nose because it is the cloasest to commercial bullets. Would like to hear some experience on that though.
I had no luck getting them to feed reliably in my gun, but if I could I'd go with the 105 SWCs first just due to accuracy. That said I've had good luck with the 124gr rntl mold and the 125 (135ish in my experience) as well. If I was concerned more about feeding with a slight accuracy loss I prefer the 124gr, if I'm going for best accuracy at this moment I prefer the 125gr mold. The 124gr is also more likely to get away without sizing, the 125gr is pretty well sizing mandatory.
Have you learned anything yet??
Just an update to this here. th-cam.com/video/7_UqEpebGCU/w-d-xo.html
124gr
Thank you for the vid. A member of my group gave me a 9 and .40 mold free. The 9mm is the last one your talking about
So, how'd they work out? Do they help manage the recoil?
Harry Mallory. I recomend you Pachmayr grips for that.
If you're having trouble with recoil, it's most likely that you're holding it too low. Your index finger should not go straight forward to the trigger. It should go down at an angle. Hold them high and tight with the panel grips. I never have any recoil issues ever. At the top of the back strap where it widens, wedge that into the web of your thumb and it should solve that problem for you.
The link below should solve any recoil issues you have. th-cam.com/video/hmIINRz5Kuc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=U389SSeIOrKr4_an
They are way better grips. The wood ones were painful to shoot with it being an air weight.
thanks for the video.
Direct and to the point. Really like this vid.
