chip detector, metal

Chip detector | Aerospace | Eaton

 better way to detect metal particles. I see and read about it. I read about engines that use these, aircraft engines. Sometimes good, other times not so good. Chip warnings ignored and fatal outcomes. Anyone have experience with these?
I had an idea.
I read some ideas.
I want to improve.

Not taking credit for this, just something I found. The idea that I read about used radioactive marking on the metal gears, and when the oil becomes radioactive, you know the gears are wearing fast. Great idea, perhaps not widely used because of radioactive fears.

major disaster

I have been watching disaster documentary recently, and I have increased my household food supplies. Fear has gotten the best of me, and I just want to be prepared. My worst-case scenario is a major regional disaster. In a regional disaster (think Hurricane Katrina or larger) you will have no telecom, little electricity, and little to no heat or air conditioning.

Watching the disaster videos, people often will become desperate and commit crimes. For your household, often you want to basically be able to survive with some food and water. And number 2, you want to be able to scare away criminals looting for food.

All business, including hospitals, fire and police, will be affected. Your staff, the ones that decided to come to work instead of defending the home, are hungry and haven’t had a hot shower in a week. No one is happy. These things can happen.

Public safety and hospitals have become very reliant on electronic systems. These organizations need to practice what happens if the internet is down and all their systems are down. What do they do? How does the hospital work? Hospitals need to prepare for these disasters!!!

Hospitals rely on the Electronic Health Record. Although no one wants to discuss the features of paper charting, the fact is, in a regional disaster, you better be good at paper charting and managing patients, in some way. You will have to do it, without the sacred, all knowing, ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD.

margin of safety

The psychological margin of safety, perhaps call it PMOS. This way it comes as a safety margin, not a safe thing. Say you hear this:


“Hey your team is lacking in the progress report. The team, maybe it needs to increase its psychological margin of safety, so that more people will comment on each project.”


This is a better way. PMOS = Psychological Margin of Safety. Because we all know, safety is something we want to improve. Safety, it’s just a moving line, a margin record of how bad we did this year compared to last year. Phycological safety really does not exist. You can see it? Rarely, you might find it being tried to be done in some organizations, struggling to get people to talk about problems.

Can you fight this? Not really. People want security and so they do not want to bring up problems. You can only improve or make it worse. You can not fix it. My opinion. There is some hope, see my answers 😀 below!!

You can pay people for innovation. I know of a contractor organization, down the hall, I could hear them talk about innovation awards. This caught my attention and I had to discuss it with them, and yes, it was true, they paid people to innovate. Great idea, pay for innovation!
😀 Answer: Those innovations can solve problems. Create a new process to kill the problem process, and you may never have to discuss the problem.

Where is their no PMOS? The worst example of this is military organizations, pick any country, go to their military projects. What do you see in those failing projects or those projects that are completely useless? You will see PMOS levels undetectable. No margin of safety can be seen regarding speaking up. No one will dare speak up or discuss the problems. Sometimes, they only discuss the options. The peer pressure in military ordered organization is incredible and creates high risk. Yet there is a way! Discussing options, this is convenient way to hide the fact that we need to speak up about problems.
😀 Answer: Discussing options does work in some scenarios. I led a group to discuss options about various technologies, without focusing on the difficult problems some of those technologies inherited.

Game of heavy things

To play: Play the game on a raquetball court or get flat area and measure distances of 8 feet, 24 feet and 32 feet.

Use two heavy balls, prefer one 8lbs and other 15 lbs. See photo.

RULES: as a player take one of the balls and throw it as far as you can. Like bowling bowl must be thrown with one hand. Stay within the eight feet of your play area. Take one of the other balls (lighter ball preferably) and again throw it, trying to hit the other ball where it landed. You get points if the balls touch each other, or bounce off each other.
You get one point if the balls touch each other within 24 feet to 32 feet. You get double points (2 points) if the balls touch each other at all, if past the 32 foot mark.

Play with partner until one tires out. Or set a number of rounds. One with the most points win. Strong people might have to use 20 or 25 lbs balls to get a good workout and have fun simultaneously.

Fyi, A standard regulation racquetball court measures 20 feet wide, 40 feet long, and 20 feet high. In many courts will have the a eight feet.The sections are already marked, as wall board is 8 feet long. No marking are measuring needed on those! La fitness gyms are like this.

Trx heavy balls are loose weighted and do not roll well, making the game more challenging.

book “Red planet leadership”

read most of the book, red planet leadership.  Thank you for the motivation, author.

Go to mars and make a colony? With some more thought on the subject, I think that my mind is changed a little bit, that perhaps a man mission to mars could be worthwhile. It would be nice to see the united states work better with China, in the space frontiers.  They cannot be our enemy and our science partner at the same time.  To make mars an outpost, the effort must be global, truly global in nature and more so even than the international space station is.  

  I have significant doubts that the united states could do it alone.  

  I don’t have elon musk excitement about going to mars.  I think there are things more exciting on earth. I think there’s more exciting discoveries on earth.  

But I think you’re right, that we really would learn a lot. We could learn a lot by doing it. And I think the most we could learn is that we could understand our own biology and ecosystems better.  The mysteries of our own biology are significant.  There’s four (4) different theories on how a specific part of cell  mitosis works! You would think we would know that by now, but we don’t. We are amateurs at our own biology.

solar city inverter e050

E050 ARC FAULT

I got this on the neighbors solar city inverter. I CALLED TESLA, AND THEY CONFIRMED THE THIS IS THEIR UNIT, AND THAT IT WAS NOT FEEDING POWER TO the house or to THE GRID. With the owners, okay, I just go went ahead and hit the escape key.And the unit unlatched and did the test again.And this time it was okay, and appeared to go back into operation. With a ladder, I will check the cells, if the alarm comes back.

i believe these units are made by abb. A similar unit’s technical manual is here if you want to read on it regarding error codes.

same house.They have another set of solar panels by another provider. Vivint solar.

solarEdge electronics. It appears to me that vivint, the company monitors this through the communication hub that they install on the side of the house. This communication hub has a moxa computer. It appears to me. It communicates to the solar edge system via Ethernet and then probably connects through cellular or the Wi-Fi back to their system. Probably using a v p n is my guess. No two factor security that I see? Any tpm? I open the box and took a picture of the system.This is what it looks like. Uc-8112 moxa.

no power, no civilization

European Council President António Costa warned Monday that the targeting of energy facilities would be “illegal and unacceptable” after US President Donald Trump threatened to hit Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened.

Without directly referencing Trump’s comments, Costa said the “targeting of civilian infrastructure, namely energy facilities, is illegal and unacceptable.”

The escalation of this war is not for any peaceful ending, it is so that Iran an be dissolved as a country, no matter how many children, widows and elderly die in the process. It appears clear that is the roadmap, as infrastructure bombing of the country continues. This is a crime and needs to stop.

Live updates: Iran war; Trump says ‘entire country’ of Iran could be taken out if no deal is reached by tomorrow | CNN

This guy does not represent what most people in the United States think. He is an eccentric billionaire who has a distorted and sick view of war. He said about the war in Ukraine “Maybe let them fight it for a while”. Now he vows for a destruction of a entire countries infrastructure. Why? Greed. Evil. Sick. You name it.
