What are your hobbies? Personally, my favourite thing to do is cook. I make all sorts of different things, cookies, cakes, pastas, chicken. It's something I liked to do when I was younger, and recently I started doing it again and love it.
 
Martial arts, specifically karate(goju) and judo.

I also enjoy firearm sports. Shooting food is fun. :D

:lol

I hope you properly field dressed the thing. :)

Electronics, component level. It's also what I do for a living.
I think the electronics home hobbyist has become a rare bred. I know of nobody these days that I can personally talk to about the things I do with it at home. Except a couple engineers maybe. But then, they don't do it for a hobby either. My stuff borders on excessive over-engineering because mine is a one-time deal. I can be extravagant and therein lies the fun. :)

I have a brother-in-law who loves to build computers from scratch. He built his own water cooled computer a couple of years ago... almost drove my sister crazy with all the components and bits lying around the kitchen :lol

Yes, and I'm a very good nerd. :D

I do like peltiers. :yes :thumb Designed and built the power supply to run the thing from parts I already had.
I've often played with the idea of having one in a car to keep drinks cold or hot since they run on 12 volts DC. No moving parts either.
 
ever seen the watercooled (via) antifreeze. alternator?

Yes ,prough91, it takes one to know one.

Rick,are you still into the tesla coils?

Let's just say it's all on the back burner since I'm in the process of replacing the concrete block walls in the garage and adding a full length front porch.
 
some use transformers to do that. i dont have the knowledge to build that. I understand enough of the basics to get me by, mainly dc circuitry.

shoot if one is really bored. disassamble an alternator,remove the diodes and then you have an regular generator. and this has been done. They are rated in watts(under the ac) not the dc power they generate. You can get those stats on that. Most parts stores give only the ratings in amps. ie 100 amp gm alternator. one can figure out what the power will be in either ac or dc.

100x12vdc= 1200 watts
1200/120 =10 amps

120vacx10amps= 1200 watts. This is the power you will have to use for some things. not much but you can use a drill power and air compressor(small) and a refrigetor(small) on that.
 
Some years ago I got into wheel guns. Had a S&W model 29 .44 mag 8 3/8" barrel, red ramp - white outline sights and target trigger. Loaded my own shells with a Bonanza coax press. Put about 3,500 rounds through it. Got to where I could cover a 3-shot group with a fifty cent piece off bench at 50 yards.
Believe it or not but I used shotgun powder, blue dot throwing a 210 gr semi-jacketed ball. It was a slow burning powder and very dirty but the knockdown power was worth the tradeoff. The faster "pistol" powders burned way too fast and I lost pressure before the slug was out of the barrel.
