Rain Barrel Valve-O-Matic
Просмотров 4,2 тыс.14 дней назад
I love my rain barrel but when it's full the water floods the driveway. Here's my overengineered solution. A DIY automatic valve to divert the water to the barrel when it's empty. Yes, I could have just made an overflow diverter port but this was WAY more fun!

How To Repair Sticking BMW Vario Panniers
Просмотров 10 тыс.2 года назад
The BMW adventure bike Vario Panniers have a tendency to stop easily moving from compact to expanded over time. I think it's because the plastic shrinks from Sun exposure. This quick fix solves the problem. All you need is a good sawzall or some metal tin snips.

Obrigado!
Wow I love your shop lathe and mill. I would never leave the house. I was in Asheville last fall first time. I would like to move from Florida somewhere cooler. I spent two days there driving through neighborhoods where the commoners live. Chances are I drove through your neighborhood unless you live in a gated community or an upper priced home 🏠 which part of Asheville are you in? I only seen a little of West Asheville I was always lost 😂
East. We love it here.
2024 I’m now getting around to this….crunchy crunchy
watching this three part series is making me want to clean up this very old conn sprano saxophone
Do it! :)
the reflector is many times more valuable in regards to safety, over the strobe. so much so its the law in many countries to have one installed on the rear (probably why they come as standard from factory). clean job covering yours to be fair, but i would recommend installing a reflector someone on the tail. in an emergency it might be the only thing that prevents you becoming roadkill
This is a good practical demonstration!
I put a kit from Custom Dynamics on my HD Road King brake lights and I really like them. You can adjust them to flash not at all, once, or repeat. I like the repeat.
A very clean job.👍🏼
Wow nice to see your still kicking. Missing your videos. I like those light but they would be illegal here in Kansas and I'm sure a lot of places. Number one reason is the Blue. Blue or even red to the front is reserved for emergency vehicles and also you cant use a wig wag pattern. Now the rear would be for the same Blue reason. Now I have seen the fast blink pattern used in red used on the rear around here. Around here I think I remember seeing that Green was ok but I could be wrong but to use to the front in a blinking pattern but never wigwag. Well I would love to see more videos from you. Hope all is well.
These are amber and white. Yeah it's amazing how many people here in NC have blue and or red lights on the front and the cops just don't care. Thanks for watching.
@@HackaweekTV Ok cool. I just didnt want to see you have any problems.
Great video. I hope and pray you are safe.
Thanks.
@@HackaweekTV you are very welcome
Hey Dean I always appreciated your motorcycle content. And as always you do good work. I will say though when people put a strobe on their headlight, I find it to be extremely distracting to the point of being a hazard itself. Maybe it's just me but that tends to give me a target fixation more than a awareness of something I wasn't previously aware of. Since these are tied your brake light and operate sort of momentary, then they make sense.
I agree. I don't like headlight strobes either. Thanks for watching.
Any tips on figuring out shutter speed accuracy?
Great to see you back Dean, it’s been ages!
Good to be back!
Love the creativity!
We use a simpler system in the UK. FLOPLAST SQUARE RAINWATER DIVERTER BLACK (27866) Take a look at screwfix uk item number 27866. Fits in the down pipe at the level you want the water butt to fill to. Once at that hight, any more water will keep going down the rain water down pipe.
Thanks!
I subscribed for a cafe raver build years ago. Glad to see you posting again!
I'll probably be posting some videos on my Triumph Street Triple soon. I've got some lighting mods to do. Thanks for the sub and for watching.
@@HackaweekTV looking forward to it!
I don't understand why you couldn't have just ran an overflow off the back of the barrel down to the extraction pipe and let the overflow water just run down and out that way through a 3" elbow and piece of 3' gutter pipe, Instaed of deverting the flow from the barrel, Let it flow into the barrel and overflow out a piece of pipe in the back of the barrel, 3'"in 3" out same results. You could also put the overflow through the bottom of the barrel and extend it up inside of the barrel to the height that you want inside of the barrel, Just like an overflow in a toilet tank. No need for any moving parts!
I like building crazy shit!
We recently got a rain water barrel, and the filling and overflow mechanism used today is actually quite clever, and has no moving parts. The idea there's a sort of "take off" from the main fall pipe coming from the roof/gutter. It is essentially a ring lining it from the inside leading to a hole, where a hose/pipe connects it to the water barrel. That ring is made from rubber and can be inserted from a hole drilled into the side of the pipe. The trick is, it doesn't flow into the barrel from the top/above, but just below the max fill line on the side, and that whole connection (to the barrel and to the vertical pipe) is watertight. If the barrel is full, it just can't flow into it, and will overflow inside the ring in the fall pipe, just continuing there. As I said, no moving parts and no secondary overflow or drain, and of no water just overflowing the barrel either. I found this quite clever, and so much cleaner than needed a mechanism, and I have no idea what it took centuries for someone to come up with it. Edit: if you google "Rain Gauge Rapido" some images should come up, much easier to just look at the thing than explain it in text. Sorry, but I tried ;)
Sounds neat!
When was it you were building an engine for a motorcycle? That's when I started watching
2015 maybe???
👍
How well does that work when the wood gets wet and swells/warps?
I don't know yet. It needs to rain!
Down pipe water but diverters are about 10 bucks, what are you playing at man!
Just having fun building crazy stuff.
Great to have you back. Did you swap the garbage can lids? The colors don't match and I can't only imagine how confused the garbage collectors must be :)
Hi, I have a zenith I have had since I was 15 it means a lot to me. Very sentimental. The radio works, but the turn table stopped working. I have had some local guys look at it but they cannot fix. Wondering if you can help?
I'm surprised Asheville would even allow you to collect rain water without some high priced permit.
No permit needed for home owners. www.epa.gov/waterreuse/summary-north-carolinas-water-reuse-guideline-or-regulation-landscaping-and-onsite-non#:~:text=In%20North%20Carolina%2C%20collection%20of,irrigation%20(NCPC%2C%202018).
A lot of these comments seem like they were made by my wife. She wants a rain barrel. She doesn’t want to have to carry water very far but she doesn’t want a pump because “that’s too complicated and not free.”
Been a while. Welcome back!
Um, don't most rain barrels have an overflow outlet that you can route to the drain? And if not, how hard can it be to add one? Imagine... no moving parts. hum...
Are you related to Rube Goldberg? lol That looks pretty fun to make.
👏👏👏❤❤❤ Mahalo for sharing!
Nice!
Very complicated mechanism. Your objective could be achieved with a simple overflow drain into the lower part of the pipe. Basically a hole in the side of the barrel with a piece of pipe sticking out and then a 90 degree bend down into the drain pipe. Simple. no moving parts and more efficient.
Others have mentioned this. I know. I just wanted to build this crazy contraption for fun!! Thanks for watching.
You sound like my wife.
@@mikebond6328 She seems like a sensible woman.
Happy to see you coming back from time to time, Dean! I've been subscribed for a while now. Kinda miss the old electronics projects. Those were good times!😊
Yeah lots of fun. There will be more videos for sure. It's fun to get back to hackin stuff! Thanks for subbing and watching!🤩
Hmm what is the purpose with R1🤔
Nice! Around 13:45 .. that crescent wrench has a perfect hole for passing that rod through, making a decent fulcrum. 👍
Good eye!
To heck with those points. I got rid of them. I went to solid state, never had a problem. Always packed a point plate with you , just in case.
I would use a solution without moving parts - an overflow drain like in a bathtub.
Good idea. I just felt like engineering this one for fun.
Good to see you back!!Great!!!
Back!
Welcome back Deano! Your looking, sounding good nice to see life's treating you well & we're all going to see more! Hackaweek A-lot of us oldies still watch you you're not alone 👍
More to come!
Always a pleasure to see you back making and creating!
Nice! One idea to improve that! Change that diverter so it is normally in bypass mode and put something like a sponge or something that can absorb water and change it weight as a weight to turn it to collect mode. When sponge is dry small amount of water is bypassed and all that crud from the roof is also gone with that water! When sponge get wet and it get heavier it will turn diverter to collect and your collected water is cleaner!
More weight on float part and you got a winner, waxing the wood may help
I actually added a weight to the float and it helped.
👍👍
Welcome back Indeed! Are the motorcycle good?
Yes.
@@HackaweekTV lovely. Actually we're still wainting for the scrambler 😁
welcome back !
Welcome back, Hack!
Glad to have you back
Wow dude. Glad to have you back
