Lag on a motor control can probably be corrected via the PID control values. Pretty sure I've heard you mention adjusting the PID stuff before, so I'll just say reducing lag starts by reducing the values to the minimum needed for good control.

We had the Seawater shutoff valve handle break in the closed position during a training trip with a fixed schedule examination at the end. So we had to mcgyver a solution as well. In the end we ran a hose from the toilet water inlet to the engine in the back and did the practical examination with that setup. Fortunately one of the last events in the season and the boat went out of the water afterwards.

Have you taken into account epoxy insulation sheets between the cells? The blue wrapping shouldn't be relied on for longterm insulation. Another consideration is that you won't be able to check the torque of the cell terminals after it's fully built, it's normally good practice to do this once a year.

You really need to use a pusher stick, that bit at 12:54 it would be so easy to have a thumb on the edge of a board in the wrong place and suddenly you have 3 mm ripped out you're thumb, no matter how carefull you are accidents happen. Although the blade in this instance is near the edge, so less likely, but it sets you are for an accident later as your not practicing safe working.

after watching the previous video (timing, I know), I caught myself thinking: wouldn't it make your life a lot easier to keep the vertical dividers of the battery box solid, and instead make 3 shelves to divide the box into 6? That way, if you ever need to service one of the bottom 3 enclosures, you only need to empty out the shelf above it and remove the bottom, and you'll have access to the batteries underneath. That, as opposed to now needing to empty all 3 of the top enclosures, and disassembling the box almost fully. I don't know if you've discussed your reasoning for doing it this way, so I'd be curious to know if there's a significant benefit to doing it this way. As I'm binging the past 3 episodes tonight, I've also left this comment on the previous video, but thought I'd place it here too, just in case

Hrm... Now this has me thinking... I designed the single unbroken mid-plate for weight bearing reasons, but the ability to never be more that one battery in the way of another is a really strong argument for vertical separators being continuous with slotted in midplates. I need to think on this...

It scares me to watch your right hand pushing the boards through the saw when your right hand is positioned between the blade and the fence. Saw safety 101 says do not take that kind of risk. The risk of serious injury is high. Digital Mermaid would then be Missing Digits Mermaid.

@mikimotomom Ай бұрын

Love your video series. two small safety comments. 1) anything that is loose and can get pulled into spinning blade is a risk, suggest making sure pony tail is secured so it can't flop in front of you and possibly down onto blade. 2) when to use rip fence and when to use miter gauge. It is recommended that when piece being cut is wider than long (as when you were doing that long rectangular test piece) should use a miter gauge since the length that is riding against the fence is very short and the piece can pivot into the blade causing a kick back. I understand you are trying to verify the proper distance set of the rip fence.

@TheDigitalMermaid Ай бұрын

My hair falling forward when using tools is a genuine concern, I admit. Sometimes I tuck it into my shirt, I probably should have done that here. As for the second, I think what I really need to do is just make a cross cut sled. The miter attachment for this table is sloppy, to put it mildly.

@markk4285 Ай бұрын

Hi Maddy. I thoroughly enjoy your channel and also your honesty with success and failure as you break new ground in the development of your electric powered yacht. However - and this is NOT a criticism - I have grave concerns as to the sturdiness and rigidity of your box. To have that concentration of cells and consequent very large mass relying on plywood to not flex, distort and possibly break would be, in my opinion, too great a risk. A 5mm double rebated joint would be fine in a land based situation but in a marine environment is possibly not strong enough. On the high seas, what a rough sea can do to anything that can flex in any way can be absolutely destructive. Slamming into waves can destroy anything that is not thoroughly rigid. The box may well fit into your lazarette but will it be supported properly? Would not individual, self-contained battery boxes be a better idea? And also, in the event of one failing it could possibly be removed and worked on without having to open up the six battery banks. It also gives you a bit more flexibility with weight distribution. Just my opinion. Keep up the good work. Mark K Barge M V Sarah Ireland

@TheDigitalMermaid Ай бұрын

Howdy, the plywood is just to test things, the real box will be made out of solid white oak (same dimensions as the plywood, but _much_ stronger). The 5mm rebates are there strictly for alignment while assembling in the engine bay, as it'll be hard to get around the box to insert the bolts. So the hope is just to have the steps help me hold things long enough to bolt it down. For the support; The plan is to bolt the box into the old engine mount bolt holes. I'll likely tab in supports towards the aft bulkhead to install more bolts and handle weight bearing. Once the box is assembled, I plan to connect it to the underside of the cockpit sole, which will then spread the load while heeled (or knocked down) between both the bottom and top of the box. ABYC says I need to be able to hold 2x the box weight at a 90 degree angle for one minute. I intend to best that. :) I am worried about the concentration of weight, but I'll only be up a total of about 150~200kg over the old diesel/transmission/diesel tank/agm/coolant/etc. So about the weight of one decent sized person. Still though, I would have preferred to get more of the weight forward, but there just wasn't space. The only even sort of viable option would be to remove the settee water tanks and put one battery each under the settees, but then I'd lose ~240 litres of water. So in the end, fitting them into the engine bay was my only real option. Well, that or simply reduce the number of packs I have (which is something that might come to pass if I can't trim the boat...). Cheers, Mark!

@markk4285 Ай бұрын

Morning Maddy. Thanks for taking the time to reply in such detail. That certainly sounds better than I initially thought. You have lived with this issue for a long time and thought it through many times - my parting shot is to err on the side of over engineering the amount and strength of fixings to secure the package. Have a great Christmas. Mark K.

@@markk4285 If I wasn't on the edge of weight, I'd absolutely go overboard on the box build. As I am tight on weight though, I need to be careful to strike the right balance between weight and strength. :)
