  1. Interesting. In isolation, making the end of the hose smaller with your thumb should not matter (the flow rate should be the same). In practice, it does, because using the thumb affects the flow rate of the system. You'll also learn info on pipe engineering.

  6. Trying out my new I2C-equipped solenoid drivers and ADCs I got for the hydraulic robot. I am ready to control a bajillion valves ... #robotics #hydraulics

  7. Only found four of the partial thread bolts and they were too long, meaning the threaded section started too late.

    Slapped the wheel back together with some incorrect bolts for now and wrestled the old leaky inner tube back in just so I can roll the trailer out of the way as I need the tractor.

    This took way too long, but on the upside, a lot of junk got sorted in the process.

    And some treasure, too. A mountain of bolts, nuts and lock washers, some banjo bolts, a crappy mallet, a fire axe and drill, and a few tractor parts including starter motor, hydraulic pump, two alternators, etc.

    The hydraulic pump is a great find, those aren't cheap and it looks in decent shape.

  12. Success #2: I do seem to be able to heat-fuse 3D-printed polypropylene with my polyethylene film. Despite being technically different materials, these are a lot more willing to be friends than PLA and PE. #robotics #hydraulics

  13. First try sealing polyethylene film to a polyethylene tube, and it worked out! Besides matching materials, I needed pressure - the heat gun alone won't do it. Had to use the soldering iron behind aluminum foil. #robotics #hydraulics

  14. When two cavitation bubbles of different sizes collapse, they form distinct jet patterns that affect local pressure and energy distribution.

    Understanding these dynamics helps predict damage in hydraulic systems.
