Sorting out more issues with the elevator on my underground bunker build - Episode 38

[@UnhingedHarry]

Nice garden. It's good to see some additional context occasionally. Even though it's all about the bunker...

[@dimitar4y]

Your idea for a copper plate was genius, why didn't I think of that? Can even solder cable to it directly. I got loads of 15mm copper pipe lying around... And a load of hammers...

[@crazygeorgelincoln]

Was gonna say switch the batteries over to carry less weight, that's a terrible idea. Good job , keep going!

[@dimitar4y]

Contact cleaner does wonder for any contacts and buttons/switches that are being annoying. No idea why it's so effective, but it is. Give it a whirl. Fixed a few old PC keyboards and remote controls years ago for me.

[@LexsBudgetBunkerBuild]

I'll give that a shot - I already have a can of it lying around.

[@UnhingedHarry]

Yeh was going to say it's worth a try

[@dimitar4y]

20 minutes of classic tea-induced delirium just kidding, can't say I remember any of your rambles, too generic or something, but you're pleasant company.

[@dimitar4y]

I'd be worried about one battery being heavily drained, and the other fully charged, when the two get paralleled up, there'll be quite a bit of current trying to melt cables and damage batteries trying to equalize their charges, I think.

[@LexsBudgetBunkerBuild]

I don't think either battery will get a chance to drain on its own since most of the time the elevator will be docked but I will keep an eye on it.

[@UnhingedHarry]

You could put a diode in series with the connection to the small battery. Then it will be charged but not discharged by lift.

[@dimitar4y]

Obviously, the core work is digging and carrying the buckets of dirt; And the pump/elevator are distractions. Would you consider them welcome distractions from the monotonous and back-breaking labor, or is the digging your main entertainment?

[@LexsBudgetBunkerBuild]

I enjoy the tinkering with the infrastructure the most but really want to make steady progress with the digging and get to the stage where I have a working space underground.

question for you mate,who picks the music for your vids? whomever it is has great taste!

[@LexsBudgetBunkerBuild]

That would be me :-) I'm glad you like it because I'm sure it won't be to everyones taste. All the music is from KZbins library and they have a massive selection, all for free.
