Dialed In DIY
Добавлен 23 фев 2015
At DID you will find DIY projects that hack, mod, or repurpose materials and items from everyday use. There is also a mix of how to, home improvement, glow in the dark, crafts and more. I like to dial these in (including upcycling) for continued improvement. Sometimes "Dialing it In" is taking something and changing it up, creating a new purpose or expanding upon the original purpose of the item. This often starts with taking things apart to see what is inside, learn how things work or to discover what can be used for another project. DIY hacks or modifications are sometimes done just to learn and say I DID it! #DialedIn #DialedInDIY

Make Disneyland Style Fireflies - Amazing DIY Decoration
I wanted to be able to see fireflies in my back yard so... I made some! Have you ever seen the awesome fireflies at one of the Disney theme parks (ex. Pirates of the Caribbean ride entrance through the Bayou)? I wanted to replicate that type of firefly (aka lightning bug) but I could not find much in the way of specific detail on the topic. There is a great story about the man who created the effect used in recent years by Disney but no real production details. One article said there had been a design idea hanging wires with lights attached and that was all I needed to begin experimenting. This video shows the most recent evolution of my experimentation which creates a firefly display tha...

I have this same trimmer. Can the head be replaced with a blade? Tired of using string abd having to replace.
Thank you 😊 in the dr right now and was wondering how this ice pack worked lol

Hi! Awesome idea and awesome video! I have one question though. For the one gallon pump sprayer how long would the misting last before having to refill the tank?
I just want to hack my son’s vetch apple alphabet and use Samuel l Jackson’s voice by AI. Using some of his signature lines…any suggestions for each letter?
thats brilliant
I have a shoe that I can't get to stop flashing. My concern it could this start a fire?
Doing this to a popular toy then returning it to be put back on the shelf after changing its phrases would be fun lol
I'm sorry to brake it to you, but it is probably not Nichrome wire. To test this measure the resistance at room temperature and again after passing a current through it and heating it. I bet you the resistance goes down when warm => not nichrome.
Be careful because u put it next to a tree and leaves. Unless they are dry then it is safe
If you were to combine this in a 40oz glass bottle with the nails and then something like a porous ball to further slow down the time it takes for the glycerin to make contact with the trigger, seal the top then IDK, hang around for the Darwin awards, just make sure the camera is rolling, or RUN! If it is sealed will the reaction occur? Is oxygen a requirement? Or sealed would it burn inside the bottle and eventually explode? How would you control the pressure, something other than glass, where you can see it expanding and with nails in say, a milk carton, and the right amounts of each, could you unalive a standard bedroom full of zombies? Unalive again, that is....
I’m so happy and now I have lights on my shoes 😁😁
Great video's!!! hope your still doing projects...
I love this one
Great! 👍👍
I tried to pull out magnets from a AirPods case, but my mom didn’t let me she doesn’t know what they are
sandpaper nonsense. Remove the top in 5 secs with a regular tin opener and leave the smooth rim intact,
According to the environmentalists carbon is not good for the world, and to remove heavy metals use a magnet.
Part 2?
I use a thin layer of glass whool in between the circle and the exterior case, it works better (it absorb and then release slowly the alcohol)
This idea is moronic as hell. DO NOT do as he did in this video. Using metal as the string WILL THROW razor sharp bits of shrapnel ALL OVER the yard and probably into your face and hand etc. This is why string trimmers use plastic, not metal, string. This video is the stupidest thing I have seen on RUclips in years.
Yeah, I have to agree. I've been thinking about this idea for a while, and even picked up some steel cable + hardware getting ready to experiment. But then I started considering things like flexing and abrasion of the individual strands over time, etc. and eventually something will give. Then you'll end up with a high velocity steel projectile(s). I feel like the only safe way to try this would be with a push string mower. That way, you at least have the deck for some protection. And you could add some additional guards/shielding I guess. But I don't know if it's worth all that unless you're just really bored and/or handy at fabricating stuff. Especially when you could just use a blade with most trimmers.
I was thinking about trying steel fishing leaders. Tired of replacing plasic line. I have a metal fence and it always breaks the plastic line.
stuff the can with rags while working on it to give it some temporary integrity.
Earth isn’t a safe place anymore.
Hello, why don't you use it as a Maglev windmil to generate energy ? Multiple in parallel above each other.. Why not ? Just leaving it here
Why not remove the guard as well and get it over with?
Ya
People are willing to pay good money for "RUSTY" springs...... so add a solution or leave out in a bucket to rust so they can be use in crafts. Now I know what to do with my old mattress.... Thanks for the video.
This is fun to make I will probably make more. A monster can aluminum is too thin . I find the blades will break when hitting the stick period a couple broke right after the first day. I am going to try to come up higher on the Hub. Making the blades a little shorter maybe firmer I even made a six blade one and it broke
Nice
My hairdryer motor burned out (the commutator) . I was hoping you would explain the purpose of the diodes. I believe the motor was 12v , so how is the AC voltage dropped to a suitable 12V DC?
Super
I just put some activated charcoal from the fish store into some glass jars and cut a mesh lid. How much activated charcoal should I put into each jar?
Unless you add silver and carbon. As for iron exchange, that’s tricky. It was good to find out this information. I didn’t know the brand went into that depth. Silver was a surprise. Wish I knew more about the iron infused beads or however they are called. One of the added things to note here to add value to the product, vortices produce structured water and this happens naturally over river stones. In reproduction of this process in technology, beads are used to simulate stones to create vortices, and this is very likely happening within a filter with beads. Now, the amount of time the water has passing over these may not be as optimal as some other filters made for this purpose, but the simple act of stirring, and even shaking can add more structuring. You can try this experiment at home. My process is to put glass marbles in a bottle, add water, then shake for a minute or 60 times. Try a glass of water untreated and compare it to the treated glass. You may be astonished by the mouth feel of the treated water. It tends to seep into the tissues of the mouth and you may feel yourself absorbing hydration right from the beginning of the whole digestive tract.
Just got my huggy wuggy and i am going to put the theme music in him
What is the bit needed for the screws that hold the neck buttons down
I still remember "original " string trimmers--- had only single strand of line (looped on pin)which was changed out after worn to minimum length
Element of danger---yes. Possibly diminished by applying short pieces of heat-shrink tubing from grommet out---- minimizes unraveling ; lessens wear at pressure points
If you use a saw and cut above the tube sometimes you can get the picture tube out, do it outside with a mask on
you can use big can with holes as pot stand and regulate the flame by adding water with syringe, saves lot of fuel.
Nice video. thank you. Any updated hack video for this????
I use a small pump for fish tanks, powered by a portable battery. I can then just throw a tube into a water bottle or 1, 5 or 10 gallon jug/water bag. The pump is pretty quiet too and lasts all day.
how did you connect the pump to the system?
@@alexzucker7116 The electric pump just replaces the weed sprayer. Its not a submersible style aquarium pump so it has a inlet and outlet for hoses to attach. I simply ran intake hose into a water bottle and the other hose to some mister nozzles. HAOWIN Portable Misting System on amazon showed me the method and I just bought my own stuff for $15
Can you use this chip to play multiple sounds?
The video I was looking for! Thanks bro 😎
When you have one of the big magnets can you make it the polarity reverse an increase
what is the variable power supply you are using?
❤❤❤
@Dialed in DIY. I got a better hack and a lot less work and expense, plus it will work with all 2-eyelet string trimmers with the bump head. Cut two pieces of string line @ 12””. Knot it on one end grab the knotted end with Klines and then slide the other end through the inside of the eyelet while still grabbing the Klines on knotted end and pull tight. Do both sides. Good for cutting and edging around the house on a single set of lines. I use it on a garden home and no need to replace line on single use even edging against stucco house.
THIS Is just BRILLIANT!!!! the pack i purchases has 15 nozzles. So 5 nozzles are permanently installed at home, which is enough for me. connected to the Spray bottle. When Beach hopping i simply detaches from the main nozzle line. the remaining nozzles "kit" are ready to go!! We set up 5 under Gazebo at beach. and 5 nozzles under braai area. and simply just move our Spray bottle and connect. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY OUT GOING FAM. ENJOY!!!!!
Where did you get the spring from?
