Yes and no. If you are running an implement at 2k RPM across a field you won't notice. If you are doing loader work with variable RPM you will notice because you'll have to get and keep the RPM up during regen.

Thanks. Front bearings. Very likely right there and hadn't considered that. Trans oil, yep as it surely has water in it.

The land I'm on came with a neglected 3910 that had been used sparingly to mow for the last 10 years and unmaintained. The only maintenance was checking the oil and coolant, likely for the last 20+ years given the exterior fading of the filters. I want to get it to the point where it is a...

I would not expect a 3d printed disc to have the shear strength to work as a brake. The printed fibers are so short they don't grip the same as long fiber laid articles.

You are probably right but... "No sir there is no hazmat stored in this building." and "That trailer is not road ready, it does not need any placard."

Feeding separated from cutting allows control the intake speed for thicker stuff, reverse if it gets plugged or catches on clothing. Thats the only option I considered.

If you can get enough cooling on the pack the cell burning will burn out eventually and the neighboring ones won't catch. (We're saying the same thing) The trouble is getting enough water/foam inside the sealed armored battery case to make this happen, spraying the outside won't do it...

That is a thing with EV fires. The batteries are sealed and armored enough that getting water on them is problematic. Car fires are common and EVs are harder to put out. It will likely change as procedures evolve but right now 'let it burn' is a valid response.

Is your roof strong enough to bolt on a chain hoist?

Did it also bend at the trailer attachment points? Enough to weaken there too? Personally I'd not try to fix that material but if I wanted to I'd look for some trees space so I could put the trailer and hitch ends of the beam against and go at it with a winch as you describe. I'd use angle...

Probably. Napkin math with 200psi acting on a 1/8" dia electrode only generates 3 pounds.

Each row is referring to what metal will corrode first when in contact. Take the first row. Magnesium will corrode first when in contact with pretty much everything except itself. Now go down to Aluminum. It will corrode before everything except Zinc and Magnesium. Now down to steel, it'll...

Part of that is that there doesn't have to be anything nefarious in there right now but it could be added after the fact. You have it on wifi right? It updates for whatever reason, security update, whatever and now it does phone home. More an issue with telcom equipment than drones but same...

Details on that one are debatable regarding whether it is a bad thing unless you are a stickler for the exact rules. They used data from development testing that passed to higher levels than required instead of repeating tests. That one I don't hold against them. Selling driver data collected...

A couple months back we came close to a fire charging lead-acid batteries in a vehicle. Bad charger cooked em. Any time moving energy around there is a risk, lithiums just have more energy in them.
