How To Hack Stuff And Some Links
I like to hack stuff.
This year I went on a camping trip in the North Fork Kern River area (where it gets very hot) and before the trip I tried to make a portable mist cooling system either powered by (a) a large battery (b) a small gasoline engine or (c) a 12-volt cigarette lighter plug. For a water tank I used something similar to this one:
I experimented with a few pumps, one was a washer fluid pump from a dodge of some description. The other was a very small 25CC 2-cycle leafblower engine. Both of these items were procured from a local salvage yard. With both items the problem was either switches or fittings.
So much of life is about switching and fitting.
I had found a connector that connected ordinary mist systems tubing and dickies (whatever those little parts are that stick out) with the threaded female end of the water tank.
Not all projects are a success, especially with limited time. I wish I could say that I was able to figure this one out, but I wasn’t and worse I found professionally made products like this for sale for only twice the money I spent. But it was fun to do.
The main problem was the washer fluid pump was a little underpowered and the switch was weird and with the leafblower motor I couldn’t find any way to affix the blower part to the plastic water tank lid. Let me remind you that I live in an Urban area and don’t have access to really good tools.
Awhile ago I was really into making MINI-ITX computers running linux and putting them into weird contraptions and spaces. My next project is to build a mini-itx system this winter and put it into wooden housing to match the decor of my Uncle Chris’ rustic Northern Idaho Cabin. I might try to do the same with the monitor (remove the plastic housing and replace it with wood) Like this one but with a much smaller CPU (remember it’s mini itx).
