What are some good projects for a high school senior set on aerospace engineering to do?

Any ideas? If questions like these are not allowed on the board, my apologies. I figured this is the place to go for such a question

Thanks

Yeah lol, just very new to this board. Seems a lot more mature than most boards.

/diy/ is one of the shittiest boards with the most terrible amateur projects (e.g. buried shipping container housing that looks shit and other terrible ideas).

The fun part is we all know it and laugh about it. /diy/ is definitely not mature.

Hey, just wondering could anyone on her help me

I recently purchased a power bank for €10/$11 and when I opened it, it's a simple circuit using and recharging a 18650 4000mAh 3.7v battery.

I have 4 other 18650 batteries and was wondering could I use the original circuit to use all 5 or would I need a step down module.

also, would the batteries have to be wired in series or parallel.

Thanks

no boost/step down board required but you cant mix capacities in with lithium batteries, 4.2v is max charging voltage and min drain is down to 3.2v.

if you have 2x2000mah and 3x4000mah you're gonna damage the charging circuit and be limited to the 2000mah of the 4000 of the other 3

yeah that's what I thought, is there any board I could replace the original charging circuit to avail of all batteries?>>996970

You could, but at that point, you might as well spend the $10-20 on a 15000mAh power bank that's built specifically for the task and ready to go.

There are roughly 2 gazillion ways to make small boxes. Hinges/no hinges, dovetailed vs at least four other ways to join the sides, at least three ways to put a bottom on it, the same for the top... Not even trying to be a dick, but the question is way more vague than you might think, OP.

Now, the last one I made I dovetailed the sides by hand, used a rabbit for the bottom, hinged a simple flat top (with a chamfer), and made my own closure hardware out of brass (basically hook and eye). It was walnut for the...

Dovetails are suppose to be hidden as they are traditionally ugly... And modern glues where not yet invented. And nails where expensive for large stuff. Look at any fine furniture pre modern nails.. All the really good stuff hides dovetail joints at all cost. Its also the reason blind dovetails where ever created. Please stop the dovetail meme.

>used a rabbit for the bottom
Gotta love a fur-lined box. And yes, I am aware that you meant rabbet. Unless you meant dado, which is what I'd have probably used if there's going to be any kind of weight in the box.

Hey /hvac/, I've got a mystery that only you can solve. My house gets really cold upstairs, and is hot as hell downstairs. I'm in a two story, 1400 sq ft house in Florida, with central air. We usually keep the thermostat set at 75 degrees, and while the upstairs will be a nice cool 75, the downstairs will be up at 80 with no air flow. I recently changed the filters and noticed that while the upstairs intakes (two 12x12, one 20x20) were sucking in plenty of air, the one 20x20 intake downstairs wasn't sucking in at all. Why is this happening? More importantly, what do?

Oh and the thermostat is upstairs which I'm sure has something to do with something. Seems like a weird place for it since the only thing upstairs is the kids' bedrooms... Why would they put the thermostat upstairs?
>>
>>1000060

Maybe check the groundfloor intake?

Seriously, use a telescopic cam or just stick a smartphone/digicam/gopro to a firm piece of wire and check, maybe birds built a nest or whatever.
>>
>>1000060
>>1000063

second thing - only one intake might be too weak. But at first try to check the intakes. Maybe strike up a match or something like a candle or a single spaghetti and see if it sucks in the smoke.

I recommend getting a SSD for the OS and getting a different 3TB drive. 5400RPM is "slow" and the drive is meant to be used in a RAID config (hence the NAS designation).

But it really depends on what you will be using it for.

Like anon said you've missed the time when you'd need a greenhouse.

You could still go and build the frame and cover it with some shade cloth for a shady place to hang out in. Then when winter rolls around throw some clear plastic and boom - your shade structure is now a greenhouse.

To be fair, we don't know what zone OP lives in. Perhaps he is from severe northern Canada.

More likely though, OP doesn't know what a greenhouse it for.

If you live in an area where you can do it sneaky-like, mini-hydro is probably the BEST way to generate electricity off the grid.
--Under ideal conditions (a small, rocky shallow stream) constructing a partial dam is easy, just by re-arranging some rocks
--A relatively small device can produce a relatively large amount of power
--Power level is very consistent and runs 24/7

You can also build it on a floating platform and anchor...

They live in your house. They're not sneaking in at night. By the time they're visible, you probably have many thousands living in your house. Call a reputable exterminator.

Soap and water (Make sure the knob is in "spray" in which it scatters so you can shoot them. Be sure you hit the head and abdomen with the soap and water in the bottle, if successful, they can die in almost a minute.

"The soapy water kills them by forming a thin film over the roach's breathing pores that stays in place due to surface tension, causing the roach to suffocate.
Throw the roach away as soon as possible, since it could recover if the water dries up or has not touched a large...

Well, I was a former exterminator, professional extermination tools is a last resort if there's a big amount, but if it's a small case scenario, then soda traps with soap and water taped together can do, OP needs to be more specific on how many roaches he/she has in the house, there's no number.

1/4" to 3/4" is a big difference.
