Why won't your compressor keep up with a small air tool? Because the CFM ratings are taken at the suction INLET of the compressor, not the pressurized air from the tank. I'll show you how a Rolair compressor rated at 4.1CFM @ 90 PSI only really delivers 0.9CFM @ 90PSI of useable air.

I have a look at the construction and components in the battery power DeWalt air compressor. I wasn't expecting much and this lives up to those expectations.

Thanks to everybody that weighed in on the new Google building crane accident I appreciate sharing your insight and photos.

A multi-meter is a powerful tool, but resistance tests can mislead you. The Ohm scale on your electrical meter only tests the resistance in the circuit under low voltage with tiny currents. In order to get more accurate readings you must use higher current and check the voltage drop in the circuit. I show how to do this on a bad motor using a cheap power supply. The multi-meter showed a resistance of 0.1 Ohm between each commutator bar. It showed the armature is good. But the power supply set at 7amps and 3Volts showed between most bars had a 0.8V drop, but some had 1.4V drop. Meaning some windings have higher resistance under load. This test proved that the armature is weak.

Watercooler discussion of the Seattle Tower Crane that collapsed on Google's new building. It was being dismantled when it collapsed because multiple sections had the pins removed without being supported. Why they removed multiple section pins and why it was not rigged to the support crane remains unanswered.

Fire up the parts cannon, we're grubbing for a root! The slow death of this harbor freight impact wrench is a novel one. Looks like the heat cycling during use causes the armature to slowly fail. High resistance brush/commutator connection speeds up the process.

"count less than or equal to pulseset" caused it to turn 2401 steps. You can see a little ridge in the part where it goes too far. Fixed by removing equal.

Pick the size of motor you need for the torque/power you need. Don't know? FIND OUT! 2. Determine the voltage and current of the stepper motor. 3. Determine the stepper motor driver that will power your stepper motor with some extra fudge factor (this stuff is cheap). Big Easy driver or Adafruit motor shield for small stuff. "CNC stepper driver" for big stuff. 4. Determine the power supply you need for the input power, voltage and current your stepper needs. Add extra fudge factor. 5. Get an Arduino. (Like you don't already have 3 of them kicking around). 6. Cut and Paste the code to the Arduino IDE; upload to Arduino. 7. Hook up wires per the diagram on the stepper driver box and the Arduino Sketch. 8. Hook up a switch from +5V from Arduino to the "enable" terminal of the stepper motor. 9. Hook up all 5V signal ground from the stepper driver (negative) to the arduino ground. 10. Set the stepper driver DIP switches for the max current, holding torque and steps per revolution you require. 11. Triple check your work. Cross your fingers and toes. Plug in the power and hit the "enable" switch. Long term projects here: http://www.Patreon.com/AvE

We take a close look at the Milwaukee 1/2" impact wrench to see it's build quality. I'll try to fix it, but It's worn out after 300 hours of heavy industrial use. We'll see why at the end of the vid. The mechanism itself is very robust, but it has a couple weak points that made this gun crap out. My DeWalt has about the same amount of time on it. It doesn't hit as hard as the Milwaukee lithium ion, but it's ten years older.

Cold welding in outer-space is a hot topic in my inbox. I experimented with gold and stainless steel to see if I could get them to cold weld here on Earth. I test the pure gold and 304 stainless because you asked me to use materials that don't oxidize. Even though stainless actually does oxidize, it still cold welds. Those familiar with heavy industry will recognize a common problem with seized stainless steel bolts. What is cold welding?

I BOLTR the 18V Makita 5Ah but first I'll show you why bigger is better. Because: CHEMISTRY! The small batteries have 5 cells connected in series. As such, the cells have higher current discharge ratings and generally lower Ah ratings. As a double whammy, higher discharge rates mean shorter lifetime. The larger packs have 3 parallel banks of 5 cells in series. That means each cell in the bank needs lower current discharge and has larger Ah ratings. More BEEF for Less BUCK.

Reply AvE AvE1 second ago Hmmm. Maybe. Let's check by turning the screws into wedges. pi D x 8 3.14 x 8 say 25 inches run over 1" rise. vs. 0.5x 3,14 x 8 12 inch run over 1" rise. Change the torque to force: 1 in lbs / 0.5" 2 lbs on a thin wedge. vs. 1/0.25" 4 lbs on a thicker wedge. YES, I think you are right. But the final guestimation would turn out as a wash factoring in the friction fudge factor.Thanks for pointing that out!

You won't learn the little stuff from a book or even a vid, you won't learn it from a buddy who bought a Miller or Lincoln mig machine. Welding requires you to develop a feel and vision, an instructor will LITERALLY hold your hand, show you how to move your body, show you how to sling steel around and countless other things you will not easily learn on your own.
