About a week ago I listened to talk given by Mark Koernke: https://youtu.be/sVrecoDzgZY?t=3555 whether or not we agree with the rest of his beliefs he does bring up some very good points. Vehicles that require integrated electronics to operate, (not just operate more efficiently) are susceptible to Electromagnetic Pulse damage. Furthermore, since it is difficult to view the circuitry inside integrated devices, we cannot easily detect whether or not radio transmission or reception circuitry has been built into the devices themselves. This opens up the possibility of using this radio circuitry to control the engine, so it may be possible to shut down the engine remotely. For anyone trying to build a "bug out" van or a "stealth van" this is a serious security issue. A "bug out" van or "stealth van" is not too useful if the integrated electronics that control the ignition, fuel injection, and/or fuel pump are damaged or shut down remotely. No...
Here is an incredibly fast and inexpensive way to remove rust without using abrasive materials, hot tanks, or specialized rust removers: https://youtu.be/N3T61g1mjfU Muriatic Acid (aka Hydrochloric Acid) is quite inexpensive: https://www.google.com/search?q=muriatic+acid&biw=1600&bih=1036&tbm=shop It can also be found at local hardware stores: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Klean-Strip-1-gal-Green-Muriatic-Acid-GKGM75006/202690263 (It isn't "standard" muriatic acid, so it may not be as effective as the Acid in the video) Acids react quite well with most metals, any HCl residue left on clean metal will continue to react. So it is necessary to rinse the clean metal with a strong Chemical base to neutralize the acid, like vinegar, lye, or baking soda dissolved in water. It may be desirable to dilute the Hydrochloric Acid with water before using it to remove rust. This would create less fumes, it would be safer for the person using the acid (just in...
After looking through several youtube videos on Battery Reconditioning and reading the comments, it is questionable whether or not it is possible to recondition a battery using any method. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=battery+reconditioning For the most common lead acid batteries this is a question of chemistry. So, to determine whether or not it is possible to recondition a "dead" lead acid battery we must first determine how most of these batteries operate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_battery#Design and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_battery#Use_and_maintenance The Use and Maintenance section reads: "Sulfation occurs when the electrodes become coated with a hard layer of lead sulfate which weakens the battery. It occurs when a battery is not fully charged and remains discharged. [20] Sulfated batteries should be charged slowly to prevent damage" It appears that sulfation is primary cause of battery deterior...
