Basics
- A Page where User:Eric dumps links pre "putting them in the right place"
- A more orderly, open, and non "500 deep bookmark" method
- Also acts as a public form of Bookmarks/tabs, so that even pre-being posted in a site, others can see the information and even iterate/be inspired by it, rather than have it "sit on a shelf"
- Should be promptly emptied
List
General Dated Entries
2/24/2024
More Gas Turbine Stuff
- A 2017 Study Titled "Innovative combustion analysis of a micro-gas turbine burner supplied with hydrogen-natural gas mixtures"
- A 2022 Study Titled "Hydrogen-air premixed combustion in a novel micro disc-burner with an annular step"
- NETL Gas Turbine Handbook
- Energy . gov "How Gas Turbine Power Plants Work - Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management"
- Mitsubiri Power - Combustor Technologies Supporting Stable Operation Gas Turbines
- Shows use of the term by industry + good information
- The YouTube Channel "Engelbrecht GmbH"
- The have This Great Playlist made up of their videos titled "Gas Turbines" (7x 10-20 minute very high quality videos of a general overview, future outlook, then the whole history of Gas Turbine Power Plants
- Also on a more relevant note, the playlist "Gas Turbine Combustors" (which hasd 4x 10-20 Minute Videos) This goes over the original Single Burner Silo Gas Turbine Combustors (Although for more Throttle Range / Multi-Fuel Capability nozzles can be arranged in different rings around a core pilot flame etc) which is also what most DIY Jet Engines seem to use (although they use a more aviation-like inline combustor rather than the Gas Turbine based Countercurrent Heat Exchanger with the Air Intake and exhaust type design mentioned that were often used
- They also cover how issues with NOx Emissions and Particulate Matter have pushed the designs towards Premixed Flame Combustors using natural gas, and colder flames
- Dry Low-NOx etc
- Also all sorts of engineering grade technical stuff on flame stability and all sorts of great info
- Maximum Expander Turbine (Inlet) Temperature is another major concern, both from preventing engine rich combustion / other damage, but also efficiency (All the Optimal Cycle Efficiency and all that)
- The have This Great Playlist made up of their videos titled "Gas Turbines" (7x 10-20 minute very high quality videos of a general overview, future outlook, then the whole history of Gas Turbine Power Plants
- The YouTube Channel "AgentJayZ" is pretty good as well (~15 Years and 700+ Videos), although more aviation focused and from a mechanic's perspective
Biomass Briquette Stuff
- https://alkargroup.com/en/briquette-press-velos/advantages-of-briquettes/ - Alkar Group "Advantages of briquettes"
- https://solidbiofuels.com/pini-kay-briquettes/ - Solid Biofuels dot com - "Pini Kay Briquettes"
- Could the CEB press do these?
- I was looking at making Paper Briquettes or something akin to Pulp Molding since recently the MSW company for my area quit taking "non-valuable recycling"; granted makes sense to an extent, and this may have meant they were just doing the Enron esque shipping it all over the place for speculating on bale cost etc, then china banned importing all that and the market crashed
- BUT i do hate landfills
- I was then looking into Dioxins and whatnot, and granted it wouldn't be horrible, but it is probably best short of the occasional campfire to leave it to proper incinerators/Waste to Energy plants or even ( *shudder* ) Florida's Dear Bioreactor Landfills
- Still sucks though, so that was my train of thought going into this
- Some decent designs out there, plus a few low pressure manual presses online, amazon even, but yeah lots of work (+Investment) for small benefit (without a Rocket Mass Heater , TEG Stove , or Gasifier and generator setup etc so yeah
Ionic Liquids
- I don't know much about them (yet), that starts getting into proper chemistry university class level stuff, but they may be worth a look
- One of the Coal Upgrading papers mentioned Imidazole based Ionic Liquid as a solvent of sorts (Comparing that to the misc recent Green Chemistry Solvents) is another good thing to look into related to all this
- Also related to batteries, fuel cells, and whatnot (makes sense, Electrochemistry and all that, but i think this was more of a permanent thing)
- Either way wanted to get this out of my brain/chrome tabs and onto the wiki so there it is lol
Misc
- A 2020 Study Titled "Experimental investigation of axisymmetric, turbulent, annular jets discharged through the nozzle of the SPP1980 SpraySyn burner under isothermal and reacting conditions" (Found this when digging for gas turbine combustor nozzle papers, seems to be some sort of torch/nozzle for Flame Spectroscopy ?
- Waste Heat Recovery Unit / Heat Recovery Boiler vs Heat Recovery Steam Generator
- Latter is only when a Phase Change happens, and typically only water, former can be for Hot Water or ORC / Supercritical CO2 Cycle stuff
- Active Packaging
- Perspex (Brand Name for Cast Acrylic Sheets / Acrylic )

Ultra Pure Charcoal Fuel / Coal Upgrading Stuff
- Yanzau - Felix Resources - UCC Process Backrouns Digging Links
- https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1048098/000119312510149465/dex41.htm
- https://www.yancoal.com.au/page/en/assets/technology/ultra-clean-coal-ucc-technology/
- [https://www.miningmonthly.com/markets/international-coal-news/1304578/ashton-longwall-begins-contribute-felix
- Mentions a "longwall changeover" as per
- That is when they stop one "run", disassemble, and move the equipment to the next section
- Stuff such as this
- https://boyuecarbon.en.made-in-china.com/product/lZAtogFKfLad/China-Ultra-Pure-Coal-Granular-Activated-Carbon-for-Gold-Recovery.html
- Described and sold like activated carbon, but also uses the terms coal, so either translation error/lax terminology, or actual coal derived?
- Some Inline Air Duct Carbon Filter mentioned activated australian coal or something which started me down this rabbit hole if i remember correctly
- Was looking into these when i was plotting an Exhaust Scrubber for a Laser Cutter (and probably the 3d printer as well for good measure)
Gas Turbine Stuff
- Bit of Terminology Hell on what to call the part of a Gas Turbine or Jet Engine that the combustion happens in, Combustor and Burner are used it seems?
- Either way the bit after the Air Intake and Compressor where the Fuel and Air Burn
- In digging into UCC there were some papers on design for Can Style Annular Combustors that used aerosolized (or was it a Slurry Fuel ? ) UCC Dust
- "Combustion Chamber" -> Combustor makes more sense, leave "Burner" for things like the Babington Burner and things for (Non Waste Heat Recovery Boiler ) Boilers
and Fired Process Fluid Heaters etc
- Still useful to use for digging for papers potentially
2/16/2023
2/15/2024
- "Stone Facade" was the wrong term i heard for "Stone Veneer / Stone Cladding" so i also made redirects on the Wikipedia Side upon finding that out
- I can't seem to find it, but when looking into Ionizing Radiation Shielding to look for the right term to put on that Wall Coverings page internal links bit (I ended up using Fixed Permanent Wall Radiation Shielding (Not as snobby as i would want but without the ionizing radation clarification it got waaaaaaaaaaaay more search results so is probably the better term) i found some interesting things:
- https://www.nuclear-shields.com/radiation-shielding/lead-shielding.html "Nuclear Shields - Lead Shielding" (All sorts of Examples)
- https://marshield.com/pre-fab-lead-lined-wall-panels/ "MarShield - X-Ray E-Z Shielding Wall Panels"
- Also i can't seem to find it, but i remember seeing some plastic that somehow was a damn good radiation shield (it was either that or a neutron moderator)
- Either way it was wild to see, but also exciting from an Appropriate Materials perspective, and Lead Free Solution (All though worse case scenario, Beryllium works if i remember correctly)
- Pile of Wikipedia Pages i met along the way:
- Demron
- Vectran
- Nomex
- UHMWPE (It may have been Polyethylene as it adsorbs it to crosslink?)
- Aramid
- Polybenzimidazole fiber
- I think there was one with some sort of page on "amount of material needed to stop x" or it was "electron cross section of misc materials" or something along those lines, tell me if u find it before me! (Also an opportunity for Marcin to rack the brain for old Memories of University Study Cards or something lol), granted more pressing matters hence me dropping all this on here
- "Hardyboard" and "Permabase" are Cement Board i think, but may be worth documenting/checking the wiki for (taking up tabs (and more importantly RAM) though!)
2/13/2024
- Misc Chemicals i Had in Open Tabs but Partially Forget Why:
- Portal Axles (A thing that actually gives you more Ground Clearance (ie not going to scrape the transmission and differential on some things as easily, not just Ride Height (ie make (commuter...) truck tall but still have the same ground clearance) )
- Found them when looking into CTIS (either that or odd Planetary Gearboxes and Cyclodial Gearboxes (Sidenote found a new on the other day, made a YT Playlist on it, need to document on-wiki) and all that; seem pretty neat: A Video by the YouTube Channel "Mick Tighe 4x4 & Outdoors" Titled "Get to Know: Marks 4WD Portal Axles (p3.)" ( ~1 Minute Watch )
2/11/2024
- I can't seem to find if i put it On-Wiki (May just be on the discord a while back, or still in my personal horde), but i saw an article a while back on "Eternal Spare Parts" or "Spare Parts for Life" something along those lines
- Essentially was usage of Digital Twinning / a Parts Library and Digital Fabrication (Especially 3D Printing ) to make needing to have Warehouses full of Spare Parts (Or molds for them etc) obsolete
- This would also mean that a car wouldn't become so old that spare parts are hard to find, think old Honda Accord or a Miata, but not only are there a pile of OEM Spare Parts, or Third Party Replacement Parts / Third Party Modification Kits but Files for Digitally Fabricatable Parts as long as the internet is alive and/or there is a copy of those files on some format somewhere
- All i can find for now is this link: https://www.forbes.com/sites/oliverwyman/2017/03/06/3d-printing-is-already-starting-to-threaten-the-traditional-spare-parts-supply-chain/?sh=3c45e3362646 Article by Forbes 3D Printing Is Already Starting To Threaten The Traditional Spare Parts Supply Chain - 2017
- Is there a category page that isn't the Category for Parts Library that all major CAD Pages / Assembly Files for misc projects, such as the page to be put? (If not i'll add them to the parts library one for now; i think new people/people digging for a file being able to "browse" through all the CAD Files, aspecially assembly for major products would be of use)
- Heard about a "Jam Saw" / "Jam Cutter" mentioned as an older/niche power tool for woodworking, not too much online documentation it seems?
On the Availability of Carbide/Diamond Blades for Recipricating Saws and/or Cordless Bandsaws
- Not sure on band saws due to their flexibility, but recipricating saws should be somewhat straightforward
- Unsure on Diamond etc, but the Milwaukee NITRUS CARBIDE™ Blades are the way to go for Oscillating Tools (Can cut through nearly anything, so nail won't destroy your wood blade etc, also just versitile)
- Can't seem to find what it is made of, just promotional bs
- Can probably find a more objective source (Like Project Farm etc), but asking around on jobsites it was the way to go (especially one of the Light Demo/Framer/Drywaller guys said so)
- Unsure how it compares to Diablo Carbide Options
- Link mentioning these, and some other interesting things like coated fastners: https://protoolinnovationawards.com/winners/2023-pro-tool-innovation-awards/accessories/
- Links on Blade Trade In / Recyling:
- Demystifying Bimetal Saw Blades - A Comprehensive Guide
- Exchange-a-Blade ( https://www.exchangeablade.com/ )
- https://www.exchangeablade.com/green-center/eco-impacts/ "Eco Impacts" of their business model
- Lowes Search for Diamond Grit Saw Blades:
- https://www.lowes.com/pd/LENOX-Diamond-8-in-Grit-Wood-Metal-Cutting-Reciprocating-Saw-Blade/1003019144 Lowes Source for LENOX Diamond 8in Recipricating Saw Blade
- These seem to be some metal like tool steel filled with diamond grit?
- Diamond Tipped Band Saw Blades (Seem to be used for Silicon Boule Slicing?)
- https://www.bandsawbladesdirect.com/band-saw-blades/diamond-tipped-band-saw-blades?limit=all
- Unless it is the coolant/cutting fluid it does seem to have a different colored, perhaps CVD Coated etc edge?
- Bimetal Blades from a similar source for comparison
- I can't seem to find the video on abrasives where Bob Moffatt met with an abrasives manufacturer/expert
- Unless i'm misremembering and this is the video: A Video by thew YouTube Channel "Lets Weld Something" Titled "Abrasives with Grinder Al!"
- Main notes are:
- Neat Abbreviation for Abrasive Selection: ATM: Application (What are you trying to do) Tool (What size grinder / other type of tool) Metal (Is it Mild Steel or something like Aluminum that can clogg the abrasive
- Mentioned different abrasives, Aluminum Oxide , Zirconium Oxide , and some unnamed Ceramic
- One of them must have been the same material for that 3M Purple Sandpaper, i forgot if i documented it on-wiki yet, basically the grains fracture when dull so it "resharpens" until it's a small stub so lasts real long, also done on a mesh disk so it can extract most if not all the dust, saw some of the sandpaper/sanding block form on a jobsite, unsure if it's the same, although i think diablo is selling a washable mesh based sanding block now?
- The video i am thinking of mentioned how the abrasives work/can be clogged. It also mentioned the risk of mixing metals (you can make a sort of accidental thermite if i remember correctly).
- It also mentioned an Encapsulated Wire Wheel whichg supposedly had the same function, but less likely to launch old wires around and/or last longer
- Also Variable Speed Grinders are supposedly better as Flap Disks like lower RPMs
Prismatic vs Cylendrical vs Pouch Battery Cells
- This is probably deserving of it's own page, but Dewalt recently swapped to pouch for their latest "Power Stack" Batteries
- TLDR: Is more Specific Amp Hours
- My Concerns are Longevity?
- The Chevy Volt used Prismatic if i remember correctly\
- Also odd bit tripping me up is "prismatic pouch" vs "prismatic can" cells might be different? I thought prismatic was it's own distinct category
- They all work at the end of the day, just different trade offs and i don't know enough yet, and have other priorities
- Dumping links here for now:

1/14/2024
- Bit chaotic, but have a well rested day off and am feeling modivated
- Trying to get most of the open tabs off of my phone+important stuff out of my notes section
- That is the context for what is being added now overall
- If i remember my train of thought for finding the thing/what iut was for i'll add that, but otherwise it's just brain trash (err more like recycling? usable just needs processing and time)
- Differences Between the Dewalt XR and Atomic Product Lines
- ToolsinAction Forum - "Dewalt 12 volt tools are going away"
"CoolBot" Stuff
- A Company that makes something adjacent to the Freezer to Refrigerator Conversion project
- It takes a standard Window Mounted Air Conditioner (And maybe a Mini-Split Air Conditioner and uses it to run a DIY Walk-in Freezer (Or Walk-in Refrigerator ? " Cool Room " may be the more generic term?)
- It seems to be a common choice on various homesteading channels and such
- I'm just a bit taken back by the price tag, need to see how adaptable the Freezer to Refrigerator Conversion Controller is, may be a cheap OS Hit!
- Also potential for Cold Chain stuff is intruiging
Sharpening Stuff
- This drill attachment resharpens your multi tool blades!
- "Plasplugs" Multi Sharpener Review
- Sharp Pog oscillating saw blade sharpener
- Let's EXPLAIN This Tool That Got MILLIONS of Views
- how to make an oscillating tool blade sharpener for less than $5
- Essentially the same as the "Sharp Pog" lol
12/3/2023
- https://www.yinfor.com/2012/01/hdmi_vs_component_vs_composite.html
- On what analog video format is best
- Main takeaway is: "For video quality, from best to worst are:
Component > S-Video > Composite > Coaxial"
- Also this was a while ago, but there is a neat FPGA based Analog to Digital Video Converter
- Aimed mainly at the Vintage Gaming Community, as things designed for CRT Displays don't transfer to Pixel Based Systems well and have various artefacts
- The device can fix those/tweak all sorts of things, yet also has negligable latency
- Quite Pricy though :(
9/28/2023
- On the note of Tracer Wire / Electronic Underground Utility Markers
- https://bestpractices.commongroundalliance.com/Appendix-B-Uniform-Color-Code-and-Marking-Guide/Guidelines-for-Underground-Electronic-Utility-Marker-Technology - Common Ground Alliance "Guidelines for Underground Electronic Utility Marker Technology74"

8/31/2023
- Stuff on Shantytown Fires, the Risk of Them Happening + Spread Speed / Lethality
- Haven't looked too much into this, have anecdotal evidence, and some English Language news articles, may need to dig further to get proper local news coverage, and may even need to use local news in local language through "Translate Tab" etc, could also potentially ask around a bit
- Anyways here is the link spam:
- Phillapines
- South Korea
- https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/some-500-people-are-evacuated-fire-south-korea-shanty-town-2023-01-20/

- https://www.todayonline.com/world/factbox-shanty-town-fire-shines-light-inequality-south-korea-2094451
- Interesting too in that this was near a wealthy area, probably the working / "servant" (maids, cooks, and so on) class's area so terrible example of that divide
- Brazil
- India
8/29/2023
- In the context of the Photonic Radiative Cooling i was thinking of something i saw a while back and thought i had on-wiki
- It was discussing the issue of Water Usage for Solar Plants/Farms
- It mentioned "Wet" Condensers (Ie Cooling Towers and Spray Ponds ) and how dry condensers are too expensive/complex etc
- Granted it hasn't been around long enough to estimate durability, or done any Accelerated Aging tests etc (also the potential issue of microplastic pollution with the current formulation), but this technology may make that far more viable!
- Either way grabbing that article + related papers on the concept is a good idea for another time where i have more time
8/22/2023
- Better Block stuff
- https://www.betterblock.org/about-1 (about page)
- https://www.betterblock.org/product-page/friendly-street-sign (friendly street sign)
- I think i came across this on the Fake Open Source / The Opacification of the Open Source Movement
- Single Cylinder Diesel Engine
- Also the other engine stuff:
- Self Starting Engine
- Effect of Engine Block Heaters , Engine Oil Heaters , and Engine Coolant Heaters as well as EGR on Crank Time / Time Until the Catalytic Converter is working right.
- It's on the wikipedia page, but supposedly one (prototype) car used exhaust waste heat to heat the coolant for this reason
- Also all the HCCI / RCCI stuff
- Freevalve / Continuously Variable Valve Timing and all that allows for
- Swapping from Conventional Spark Ignition to the Atkinson Cycle or whatever (name may be wrong there, also need the name for SI Engine Cycle) (more expansion than compression), also VTEC type stuff but not just two seperate cam lobes, perfect timing for every rpm / power desired etc
- Effect of Engine Block Heaters , Engine Oil Heaters , and Engine Coolant Heaters as well as EGR on Crank Time / Time Until the Catalytic Converter is working right.
- Open Source Piston Engine Conceptual Design

- A Video by the YouTube Channel "Prusa 3D by Josef Prusa" Titled "Freeze-Drying Meets 3D Printing" ( ~5 Minute Watch ) (English Caption/Partial Dub) (Original Czech Language Version Also Available)
- Their YouTube Channel
- Candle Snuffer mainly the Automatic Candle Snuffers
- As of now they are all the ones for pillar candles like this:
- Most Scented Candles Come In Jars, Pillar Candles are Less Common, so some sort of mechanical device for those would be neat
- Electric Devices such as those shown In This Video exist, but are debatable in effectiveness/quality
- Kitchen Exhaust Hood Automatic Fire Suppression System Stuff:
- https://blog.koorsen.com/restaurant-fire-safety-regulations-you-should-know-about#:~:text=The%20NFPA%2096%20requires%20automated,that%20produces%20grease%2Dladen%20vapors.

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed-power_water_treatment / Pulsed-power Water Treatment
- Didn't find much on this in terms of WWT, found it for Potato Processing of all things though!
- I guess it is essentially the same concept as Electroporation for Genetic Engineering but to allow the Potato Starch to leach out faster/more completely?
- Wild sounding, but it's a thing:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_preservation#Pulsed_electric_field_electroporation
- A Video by the YouTube Channel "Elea Technology Gmbh - Pulsed Electric Field (PEF)" Titled "Elea Pulsed Electric Field systems" ( ~3 Minute Watch )
- A Video by the YouTube Channel "Elea Technology Gmbh - Pulsed Electric Field (PEF)" Titled "Fry the perfect chip with Elea PEF" ( ~3 Minute Watch )
- A Video by the YouTube Channel "Wyma Solutions" Titled "Anchor Organics- Wyma Potato Processing LIne" (Good showcase of the overall process of Potato Processing (May apply to other Tubers as well ( Sweet Potato , Cavassa , Taro etc) and could be some OSE machines down the line (idk if their stuff is overpriced and/or hard to repair so may not be needed as of now)
- I think when i was looking into Steam Weeding was how i went down this rabbit hole, as This Article by Potato News Today on Crop . zone shows companies at the bottom, and one was ELEA's tech)
- Odd water related things:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slingshot_(water_vapor_distillation_system)
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pyramid
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranney_collector
- Seems like an odd mix of a French Drain / "ye-olden well" and Riverbank Filtration
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin-film_composite_membrane (Seems surprisingly do-able? Granted i may be underestimating the complexity of Nonwoven Textile Production ?
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_blowdown
- I had the page for Self Sealing Fuel Tanks (although not the videos, so had to dig for those today, in the process of cleaning up that loose end)
- A related concept, mainly in aerospace, are these Crash Rated Fuel Tanks (basically a Self Sealing Fuel Tank]] inside a Roll Cage type thing
- The main bit i was going to say somewhere/was thinking about was the "layers" of Self Sealing Fuel Tanks / How that has changed with time
- Originally it was Fuel-Vulcanized Rubber-Crepe Rubber (Or some similar "goop")-Vulcanized (Or at least cured/processed, ie not "raw") Rubber-(Optional Abrasion Resistant Cloth)
- I need to get a better picture of specifics
- Also this is heavily intertwined with Latex Processing so those could be fit into the same day/rabbit hole adventure sometime in the future, as the whole Dandelion Latex project is interesting and quite useful seeming (although short of Aircraft Tires i am unsure on if Latex is Obsolete to Synthetic Elastomers and whatnot)
- Tangential Flow Filtration / Cross Flow Filtration
- Organocatalysis
- Organic Molecules as Catalysts
- I don't know to what degree this is a thing, what durability they have, and it may be a leading edge emerging technology (was one of the recent nobel prizes iirc)
- Along with Solid Acids and Organic Redox Flow Batteries though is i n t e r e s t i n g as Platnum Group Metals / Rare Earth Metals are one of those annoying limits of Battery/Fuel Cell/Catalytic Reactor Production ESPECIALLY from a small scale perspective, mineral reserves are misleading so that isn't too much of an issue
- The concept of a Gear Cloner
- Akin to a Template Lathe but in a Gear Cutter
- Get your calipers, measure the gear's parallel to shaft axial thickness, then grab a "blank" that thick
- Put it in the machine, trace existing (broken) gear with a sylus (or just have a scan workflow, perhaps Rotoscope in Inkscape
- Machine cuts you a new gear and you are good to go
- I've been wanting one of these due to fixing things around the house only for them to have broken teeth on the gears, or the shaft no longer fitting right, no set screw mechanism in cheap crap etc, granted did find the source for one of the small gears in non-1 metric ton form)
- Cloning with a Silicone Mold and either Silicone/Epoxy/PU Casting can work too
- "Depleted Zinc Oxide" / Zinc Injection in regards to Boiler Feedwater Treatment
- It may be nuclear industry specific, but it had to do with corrosion somehow, similar to how the chromium works in stainless steel, that level of chemistry stuff
- ^I'd love to hear what all you know about this!

- I found this a while back, but don't have enough content (or understanding for that matter!) to make a page on it, so i'll leave it here for now:
- Mixed Conducting Membranes (Seems almost like a PEM but for ions, typically Oxygen, so one can make an Oxy-Fuel Combustion based power plant without needing an Atmosphere Separation Unit ?
- Links on this Topic:
- NETL "9.1.1. CARBON DIOXIDE CAPTURE APPROACHES"
- 7.3.1. "CO-PRODUCING H2 WITH CURRENT IGCC TECHNOLOGY"
- I encountered the terms "Ion Transport Membranes" and "Ceramic Autothermal Reactor" in this diagram under "Oxygen Supply" which lead to me looking into this
- Encyclopedia of Membranes - Mixed Conducting Membranes
- "Process Design Characteristics of Syngas (CO/H2) Separation Using Composite Membrane"

- This is along the lines of Dilbit / Synbit / Fuel Oil , but this is a study i found a while back and documenting here. I came across it when looking into Fuel Storage / Fuel Settling etc:
- Some Stuff on Surface Treatment :
- I was originally looking into Diamond Like Carbon (and/or full on Monocrystaline Chemical Vapor Deposition formed diamond) due to the high heat conductivity, low friction, and high strength (although ability to be scratched =/= ability to be shattered/fractured i'd assume, so i'm intrigued about that
- Either way in looking up that i came across this video ( "Why Do NASCAR Teams Use This Technology? | Calico DLC Coatings [TECH TALK" by "High Performance Academy" ] ~14 Minute Watch) where someone was discussing it's Automotive Applications
- In the comments, someone mentioned:
- "WPC and Deep Cryogenic Processing. You DCT first then WPC.. and applying Ceramic Coatings and Thermal dispersants to the correct areas does some amazing things"
- In the comments, someone mentioned:
- WPC was some sort of super secret Shot Peening but with powder, as per This Motor Trend Article, "Shot Peening & WPC Treatment - Special Treatment, Part 1 - Tech"
- In terms of Deep Cryogenic Treatment (DCT), i found these articles posted on Thermal Processing Magazine's Website:
- Deep Cryogenic Treatment - By Frederick J. (Rick) Diekman -April 5, 2013 - DCT is a very important process to the gear making industry. If done correctly, it can increase product durability and reduce tooling costs.
- Take Another Look at Deep Cryogenic Treatment - By Frederick Diekman -January 15, 2020 - Research being done on this process is showing that it can be advantageous to creating longer-lasting products and tools that cost less.
- High-frequency impact treatment was a needlegun / tatoo gun like alternative to "Peening" with a Chipping Hammer used for Weld Treatment post-weld in the field that may be worth a look
- I did remember when Welding Cast Iron you had to Peen it with the chipping hammer to prevent cracking, supposedly a very difficult to weld material nonetheless

Misc Good Products
- Will probably make these industry standards for the respective pages/projects if/when they are made:
- EcoTank ET-3830 Wireless Color All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank Printer with Scan, Copy, Auto 2-sided Printing and Ethernet
- One of those printers with a vat, rather than cartridge system, makes it much less of a Monopoly, so cheaper, and also may allow for using your own Open Source Ink and/or doing crazy stuff like Bio-Printing or PBJ Printing
- Keurig K-Duo Plus Coffee Maker, Single Serve and 12-Cup Carafe Drip Coffee Brewer, Compatible with K-Cup Pods and Ground Coffee, Black
- Can use single service pods (preferably the diy refillable ones, and not the Plastic Waste Generating Nightmare Ones...), or full coffee filters for a full pot
- Also the water container is removable so you can just hold it under the sink or refrigerator water dispenser and be done
- Bit pricy, but it is built like a tank and get it on a sale at some local place probably
- {{{Or just Reverse Engineer and Make the Ultimate Open Source Drip Coffee Maker (Let alone the Open Source Super-Automatic Espresso Machine ...}}}
- Main downside is it doesn't have a separate Hot Water Spout, so anything other than coffee (tea, or running it empty for hot water) has a weak coffee taste added to it
- {{{Again all the more reason to hack one and/or reverse engineer one!}}}
- Any of the Shark Lift-Away Vacuums
- Very modular; you can ditch the handle and base if you are just walking around Vacuum Dusting etc
- Now if only i could have a Ryobi 40v Battery slot onto it!
Misc Coatings/Sealants Etc

- Applied Temporary Rust Preventative (A4320)
- PR-100 Rust Inhibitor
- Axxanol™ Anti-Corrosion Oils (Seems to be Modern Version of WD-40 and Cosmoline ; some of them aren't Water Soluable? )
- ACF-50 (Seems like a modernized version of WD-40 with the addition of Corrosion Inhibitors
- AIRCRAFT MATERIALS FOR CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL: A QUALIFIED PRODUCTS LIST - FAA 1993
- A 2021 Article by "BikeSocial" Titled "Best rust inhibitor | How to prevent corrosion on your motorcycle" (They did some decently scientific Corrosion Testing with a time lapse, also did a "stickyness test" utilizing sand) (I'll Add the videos later, only the summary page for now, also an Open Source Sample Corrosion Resistance Testing Apperatus would be really neat to automate the process + make banks of them for larger groups (most tests have done 1 coupon per variable, 3 or even 5 would be better)
