Spoiler Saver & Riddle If you one 11 minute hourglass and one 13 minute hourglass, how can you accurately time 15 minutes? Good luck on this one!
@saturnuria12172 жыл бұрын
Riddle Answer Start both hourglasses at the same time. Stop the 13 minute hourglass when the 11 minute one runs out. Start the full 11 minute hourglass and the 13 minute hourglass (which now has 2 minutes left) at the same time. Stop the 11 minute hourglass by putting it on its side once the 2 minutes is up. Start the full 13 minute hourglass again. When its finished, start the 11 minute hourglass (which has 2 minutes left on one side).

OMG. I had this car as a kid. My father went to the shop with me and we bought it with the money I saved. I still remember where the shop was. I screemed proportional steering before the bubble wrap was off the box. My father told me about the steering and told me to get it. It must have been 1980 or 1981. Mine suffered from a human foot and since no 3d printer and lack of spare parts it was binned. Unfortunately my father passed away 6 years ago and my mother a couple of months ago (just a gentle reminder to always hug the people you love and you take for granted). Thanks for the trip down to memory lane.

The trim might get off because the potentiometer inside the car needs cleaning. Like it is now, the center will never have the same value, because of dirt on its carbon track. Taking it apart again and cleaning the pot with some contact cleaner (which might be too agressive) or better Deoxit Fader or tuner cleaner, which are plastic and carbon track safe, might do the trick for more precise center trimming. This car worked way better and seems to be way more fun than i initially thought! ^_^

Might be worth investing in an 8k photon resin printer, they can do insanely small prints and are extremely detailed compared to the most expensive FDM.

Vince the potentiometer is what gives you the proportional steering. What i imagine happens is you select for example 10% right turn on the steering. The motor for the steering turns in the direction to give right. The pot then moves until it arrives at a position where it feedbacks ( a resistance) the position of the steering as being 10% then the motor would or should stop. So if the pot is noises (dirty) then you would get very erratic response, as the control system will keep applying more or less right or left to try and achieve a 10% feedback from the pot ( which is now jumping all over the place if it’s noisy). The steering motor speed is adjustable too enable quick or slow response of the steering and feedback. If you didn’t have that you would only turn corners at one rate of angle so wide or narrow turns would be impossible as only one rate of steering movement would be achievable.

Just tested it and... it doesn't work :D It does absolutely nothing, no steering, no driving back or forward. I even tried to turn the wheels manually like you did in the video to get the motor contacts perhaps in better position, but still nothing. Battery contacts look perfect, tried turning a bit the batteries too for possibly better contact, still nothing. This requires further diagnosing :D

You can certainly 3D print very small gears with a resin 3D printer, but not with a regular filament-based printer. For example, there's a particular plastic gear in the floppy drives of vintage Macintosh computers that always breaks, and there are a couple of guys on eBay who sell 3D printed replacements that work fine. The main issue for doing repairs like yours is that you have to have a digital model for the exact gear you want to print, which is unlikely for some random toy from the 80s.

Capacitors needs a flyback/feedback protection diode on the motor (or at latest stage connected to it) when connected to a motor otherwise capacitors can be ruin by negative feedback of the motor to the capacitors (or other components in the circuitry that doesn't like feedback).

Ok this is going to sound really strange...can I ask what tiles you have on the kitchen floor? I'm looking for something similar and the marble ones I've sampled have all been gloss but yours seem to be matt/semi-gloss; I like that dull sheen they have. When you're in decorator mode you find yourself looking out for such stuff in the background of videos you watch lol

well looking it up then someone reccons the 70's, but I remember an advert on tv from the mid 80's of the white and also the red porsche. and my cousins had them around the same time, and my aunt was one of those who wanted brand new everything for them, even at the expense of me and my brother going without christmas presents from my grandparents. I would say as a rough estimate of 85- 87, I say 87 as that christmas we moved so I don't think it was after that, and I say 85 as I believe my one cousin was born around 83 - 84, and he was still in a pushchair when they got them.

Please consider the audio on your videos. Love watching them, but the motor when you were addressing the steering was madenning on my surround sound.

The steering motor definately needs its bearings lubricated. That squealing is not normal, it is crying for light oil!

That motor at times sounded like someone trying to kill R2-D2 .
