Re: [SH-Discuss] donations or not, that is my question

@Torrie, OK, I will bring the ultrasonic cleaner with me tomorrow night. It does not work properly. None of the characteristic waves are seen when the unit is powered on. Might be a simple fix or it might be a waste of time. I suggest that the DIY/tech person who decides to fiddle with it set

Re: [SH-Discuss] The Fridge

Would the energy the fridge uses be a sunk cost though? I put dead hard drives in the freezer with some success. Liquid nitrogen works even better, so does a hammer at last resort. Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 25, 2013, at 4:47 PM, alex kot wrote: > > Actually storing batteries in the freez

And yes, energy required vs energy saved renders this practice moot. On Mon, Nov 25, 2013 at 5:48 PM, Omar Rassi wrote: > Storing batteries in the freezer degrades performance for non-rechargeable > batteries. The exception being Nickel and Lithium based rechargeable cells > where it does slow

Re: [SH-Discuss] The Fridge

Storing batteries in the freezer degrades performance for non-rechargeable batteries. The exception being Nickel and Lithium based rechargeable cells where it does slow the discharge rates but it is recommended that they warm up to room temperature before usage or recharging. http://en.wikipedia.o

Re: [SH-Discuss] The Fridge

Actually storing batteries in the freezer does slow down the discharge rate.  NiMH and NiCd batteries have a high discharge rate as oppose to Alkaline batteries.  Though the amount of energy you use to cool the battery VS how much you save is kind of pointless. On Monday, November 25, 2013 8:

Omar, just use the rack as an anchor :) , yes racks have been wanted in the server room since day1. A halfrack fits in my backseat, but I don't know of anyone at the space who can handle a full 42u at the moment (although it is in the works). I also have doubts a 42u will fit into the back room

It's kind of difficult to get a definitive "yes or no" out of a mailing list like this; there's no central final authority, especially since this is a general community list. No one person is going to know what's useful for everyone's projects. On 11/25/2013 2:54 PM, Philip P. Patnode wrote: > Si
