![]() ![]() In the case of grid tied systems where the batteries are kept at float voltage 24 hours/day it may be necessary to run the fan full time as the batteries are always gassing.Ī controller is usually used in the circuit to cycle the fan. The voltage set points for turning the fan on and off are above the full state of charge voltage of the battery but below the battery gassing voltage. Refer to the appropriate manual for hook up and programming instructions. Either an auxiliary relay in the Trace SW series inverter or a Solar Converters Simple Switch may be used. A controller is usually used in the circuit to cycle the fan. Place a 1 amp fuse (included) at the start of the positive circuit wire. Use 2" intake and 3" output PVC dwv pipe on 48 volt systems. Use 2" PVC dwv pipe on 12 and 24 volt systems. ![]() Put a screen on the outside pipe terminus to keep insects and debris out. Use no more than four 90° bends including one at the exterior terminus facing down. Place the POWER VENT higher than the top of the battery box and indoors, especially in cold climates. The POWER VENT must be placed vertically with the label right side up in order for the backdraft damper to function properly. The cost of an explosion proof rating is prohibitive. The fans are brushless dc motors using electronics to switch the fields without arcing. ![]() There is no explosion proof rating on the Power Vent. Is the Power Vent Explosion proof rated?Ī. combine two 24 volt Power Vents with 2" outputs into one 3" vent pipe using an inverted wye. You could combine the two exhausts into one larger vent. If you need to move more air you can use two vents, but each one must have its' own vent pipe. Can I stack two Power Vents in a row to move more air?Ī. The difference between the relay activation and deactivation. Two vents may be used for higher volume.Ĭomes in 3 voltages: 12, 24 and 48 Volts DC SPECIFICATIONSĪ. Systems larger than this can produce more hydrogen gas than the expel rate of the POWER VENT which operates in the 5 to 8 cubic foot per minute range. The POWER VENT is designed around typical home power systems with battery banks under 2,200 amp hours and charge rates under 150 dc amperes. Other systems require the addition of a voltage controlled switch. All TRACE SW model inverters have a programmable auxiliary relay which can operate the POWER VENT. A voltage sensitive switch is required in the system to make the on/off determination. When the batteries are "gassing" during charge periods the battery voltage will read above normal. The "fan on" mode is determined by the battery voltage. During these times the battery box is force vented with a low power, sparkless fan which overcomes the damper sending the gas outdoors. The POWER VENT alleviates this condition by keeping a gravity operated damper closed within the vent pipe except at times when the batteries are being charged and producing hydrogen gas. Quite often the NEC required venting was found back drafting, thus cooling the battery bank and lowering its' capacity as well as venting hydrogen gas into the structure. The concept arose from field experience of systems with enclosed battery boxes. The Zephyr POWER VENT was designed for use in remote home power systems.
![]() This depends on the complexity of your files. ![]() The second reason is that you need it to read old files, which is one of your problems. That’s why I’ve used it for a couple of decades.

![]() Stay Safe Media, another Janich project, sells a Yojimbo 2 trainer for $54.00. I found a pair for just over a hundred bucks (last year). At SHOT, Ed Schempp told me that Spyderco’s new plant in Golden, CO is running full bore with an increase from one shift to three shifts to keep up with demand of their Made in USA knives. Production runs of the Yojimbo 2 have sold out at least twice. Much like “melting” the frame of a handgun for better concealed carry, the Yojimbo 2 has smoother edges and is more user-friendly. The Yo 2 is more forgiving in the hand and in the pocket. I sincerely like my original Yojimbo, but upon receiving two of the new Yojimbo 2’s, I immediately felt what Janich was trying to achieve with the redesign. I still think it is a good-looking folder. Costs interfered and the original Yojimbo wore scales of an off-the-shelf blue that is just a bit bright. To increase its concealment, Janich envisioned the first version of the Yo to be dressed in denim-colored G-10 with a matching pocket clip. The newer knife has a four-position carry clip, as opposed to the right/left tip up one on the previous Yo. Because of its high strength, the compression lock is retained for the Yojimbo 2. To shore up the Yo 2, integral steel liners now provide a framework inboard of the black G-10 slabs. This seems to have something to do with the spatial relationship between the Spyderhole and the pivot point. The Yo 2’s blade rotates open with a little less “English” by the thumb than a first run Yojimbo. The topline of the Yojimbo 2’s blade is a gentle, smooth scallop. The blade has been relieved of the puppy-teeth-like jimping on the top of the blade, which Janich told me only served to irritate your flesh when employing the knife in the thumb-forward Filipino grip. ![]() ![]() Yo 2’s Wharncliffe blade retains all the potential power of the original, but is slightly thicker at the tip because of the hollow grind. The Yojimbo 2’s blade, though still CPM S30V steel, is now hollow ground and not as angular as the original full flat ground triangle blade. Gone are the dimples in the sides of the scales that were placed for reference points when manipulating the knife. As such the overall length of the handle was shortened by half an inch. He said in making the Yojimbo 2, he no longer felt the need for the butt of the knife to be used for striking or manipulating pressure points. I spoke with Janich at SHOT Show about the morphing of the Yo 2. Janich takes his experiences with the original Spyderco Yojimbo and with his Blackhawk! design, the Be-Wharned, and uses them to pare down the Yojimbo 2 into a more refined knife. Martial Blade Concepts founder Michael Janich worked the original Yojimbo’s proportions into what he considered a superior defensive knife. Spyderco’s current Yojimbo 2 is an improved version of the original Yojimbo, which debuted in 2005. Yojimbo, or “bodyguard,” is a fitting name for Spyderco’s Michael Janich-designed defensive folding knife. Yojimbo is a 1961 Japanese period film in which two feuding crime bosses attempt to hire a wandering samurai ( ronin) who has arrived in their town. ![]() So I did installed macfuse directly from the Google code repository, but there is no way I can tell MacPort that there is already a version installed.

Therefore, many existing FUSE file systems become readily usable on macOS. It provides multiple APIs, one of which is a superset of the FUSE API (file system in user space) that originated on Linux. In more technical terms, FUSE implements a mechanism that makes it possible to implement a fully functional file system in a user-space program on macOS. Since FUSE file systems are regular applications (as opposed to kernel extensions), you have just as much flexibility and choice in programming tools, debuggers, and libraries as you have if you were developing standard macOS applications. Writing a file system using FUSE is orders of magnitude easier and quicker than the traditional approach of writing in-kernel file systems. If you’ve ever used any of those, you may have macFUSE installed on your Mac, and you may want to uninstall it. It’s used by virtualization tools and some cloud storage utilities.

I'll attach some plots to show the kinds of cool trajectories you can get when you include the Earth and Moon's gravity fields. For example, the way I simulate this is by numerically integrating this 1st order state space differential equations: You can use ode45 to call a function that including the equations of motion describing the acceleration felt by the spacecraft due to the influence of the Earth and the Moon. You may want to consider numerically integrating the relative equations of motion that describe the acceleration of two point sources moving in circular motion around one another. Have you considered simulating the Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem (CR3BP)? Your simulations look great! It might be time for you to graduate to a higher fidelity model. Quote from: C5C6 on 06:37 pm Hi!! I'm trying to make an orbit simulation with Matlab, and I'm having some trouble making it simulate real scenarios such as the ISS, the Moon or a sattelite in Geosynchronous orbit. ![]() Hope you enjoy it, greetings from Argentina!!! I tried to calculate this geosynchronous orbit with the regular orbital speed of 3 km/s but it just 'fell to earth'. Here you got a trajectory calculated with a mass of 14000 kg, an initial orbital speed of 300000 m/s (yes, 300 km/s!! ), and a starting distance of 35786 km. I'll obviously never be able to simulate it perfectly, but there's something I'm missing and I'm apologizing for any lack of respect to y'all by trying to simplify something so complex in some few potentially wrongly-designed equations. (escala_tiempo is a variable used to make the simulation faster) Gravedad = -((G*(masa_tierra*masa_satelite))/(distancia^2)) Īcc_tierra_y = gravedad*abs(sin(angulo)) Īcc_tierra_x = gravedad*abs(cos(angulo)) Vel_sat_y = vel_sat_y + acc_tierra_y*escala_tiempo ĭistancia = sqrt(pos_sat_y^2+pos_sat_x^2) Vel_sat_x = vel_sat_x + acc_tierra_x*escala_tiempo Pos_sat_y = pos_sat_y + vel_sat_y*escala_tiempo Pos_sat_x = pos_sat_x + vel_sat_x*escala_tiempo The sattelite is given an initial distance from the center of the earth, an initial orbital speed and a mass. The key is the orbital speed, I believe my mistake is here. The Earth does not move, it's not affected by the satellite's gravitational pull. My model is extremely simple, I avoided so many facts I'm kind of embarassed presenting this here, but perhaps you could help me with some advices.īasically what I did was just consider the gravitational attraction between two spots in a cartesian coordinate system. Hi!! I'm trying to make an orbit simulation with Matlab, and I'm having some trouble making it simulate real scenarios such as the ISS, the Moon or a sattelite in Geosynchronous orbit. |
