So Quantum physics is hard, thats why I changed my major from Physics to engineering way back when. But... just as I am not qualified to comment on quantum, he is likely not qualified to comment on climate. Einstein sawed the bottom third of a centerboard off of his boat to get into shallower...

Clearly you dont understand instrumentation. So if I have a poorly calibrated thermometer and it told me yesterday that the temp is 50F when a precise instrument told me the temp was 52.3F and today the poorly calibrated instrument tells me the temp is 51F, do you think today is hotter than...

OK, I'll try again. Every engineering problem NO MATTER HOW LARGE, is an integration of a lot of smaller problems. Thus much is done with integral methods. The fundamental physics are actually quite simple. Though the math is not trivial. How does radiation pass through a gas?. How much goes...

We dont operate on the assumptions that people tell us to, or pay us too. You know I take some of this personally. Those who dont like the science of climate change say those of us who work in the field (I do so only peripherally) must all be on the take, as part of some Q-Anon conspiracy. I...

WOW! Just visited this thread after a long absence. If global warming isn't real how come you cant ice boat on the great south bay anymore? Now Bicker!

Yeah, but... what a waste of ground. That could be parking, BBQ, Dog run, home sawmill. etc

So after the upgrade to Lithium I went a little crazy and went the whole Victron route. Used approximately 100 hours No issues 80 Amps 14.4 Volts Ships from 11796

Have OEM converter from 2019 Fifth Wheel. Replaced when upgraded to Lithium 60 Amps 13.6 VDC Battery Type: Flooded Lead Acid, AGM, Gel Was working when removed. ( I know! I know!) Ships from 11796

So plan D. Reamed out the positive terminal on the shunt to 1/2" and bolted the shut-off directly too it. Now I have a nice run with a single 4/0 wire.

Just ordered a 1" by 1/4" copper bar. I am going to build a cradle for the main shut off that stradles one of my battries Buss bar to battery terminal, 4/0 to distribution. Going to wrap the buss bar in heavy duty electrical tape. Now I just need to find longer battery bolts. Thanks ANdy

So I had the cables made by Current Connected. There wire is something called Power-Flex. Would welding cable be more flexible? Andy

Folks, I have pretty cramped electric compartment in a fifth wheel. I am using 4 200ah Amprer/Li-Time batteries in parallel. I have am using the Victron Lynx Shunt and Distributor Sytstem. I am running a 4/0 cable from Battery 3 neg to the neg of the Shunt I planned on running 4/0 cable from...

So it is four Ampere/Li-Time 200 ah batteries. I think they are well secured, but... an Trailer is a continuous earthquake. So I am likely being overly cautious, and my box, hold downs and wiring clearly exceed the build quality of the trailer itself ;-) Just thought if the flex tape or other...

So I did plan on rounding and sanding etc, Just wanted a belt and suspender. The FR-4 is pretty rigid and that may work for the flat surface of the plywood. Maybe some liquid rubber on the rounded and sanded. I am always concerned about fretting, Even wire on wire can wear on insulation. Thanks...

This might do as well https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CCV544HF/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&pd_rd_i=&pd_rd_i=B0CCV544HFp13NParams&s=kitchen&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWM
