[General Turtle Forum] Budget Turtle Keeping - Turtle Forum: My indoor pond is made of wood I had lying around (had to buy the liner though), and the high power heater for it is an old kettle element which I incorporated into the filter box (although this really shouldn't be attempted unless you know what you're doing!) ~thmbu

[Technocrat] Technological self sufficiency: a couple of weeks ago I made a new lid for the big 5 foot fish tank out of acrylic / perspex, and part of the design I created included a couple of panels incorporated to carry through the power cables for the pump and heater, the air line for the bubbler, and the inlet and return pipe for the external filter, and the obvious brain dead way of connecting a pipe either side of a sheet or plate or panel is to use a bulkhead nipple, except I spent a whole day asking people in appropriate shops if they had any bulkhead nipples, only to be met with blank stares, "what's that then?", I could have gone down to the Hose and Hydraulics shop, but they now employ a Pole on the counter, who doesn't speek da lingo well enough to work in a trade environment.

[Pits n Pots - The news that matters in Stoke-on-Trent] Is there something wrong with 4x4 car drivers | Pits n Pots: The issue is consumption, irrespective of the type of consumption and what do we do to reduce it. Of course when we talk of consumption, you cannot talk of personal consumption without also getting onto the thorny issue of a runaway global population (and please BNP do not jump on that comment.

[GM-VOLT : Chevy Volt Electric Car Site] GM-Volt Reader Test Drives: the Nasaman Report: at the first nudge of the Volt’s ”˜go pedal’. We turned the first short-radius corner so sharply that my new HD video camera, on its normally very-secure dash mounting rig went careening across the dash —and as I grabbed for it the Volt ignored my ”˜panic antics’ and continued smoothly around the sharp turn on the wet, slick pavement with no detectable leaning or sliding —it felt like it was on rails!

[Target OIL] What Bio Diesel Comparison Chart Should Show | Target OIL: You should have a thermostat on this heater to get the oil up to about 130-F. In a colder climate, for winter, I would recommend insulating your tank as well, if it is exposed outside your vehicle.

[Rob A's (Im)personal Blog] DIY Solar Pool Heater - Rob A's (Im)personal Blog: Very insightful and interesting thread.I did a similar installation a couple of years ago and was very happy with the outcome.I constructed a 3' x 8' wood panel with two 100 foot coils of 1/2 inch poly pipe basically kept in a circular pattern on a flat black plywood surface.I made a glazed panel with plexiglas which can be quite expensive if you use the good durable product.An alternative is using a strong poly plastic you can frame in but you'll probably replace it each pool season from weather damage,etc.I had no idea just how hot it can get inside a glazed panel(up to 150 degrees C).It can be quite dangerous when you first turn your solar panel on.For now I simply run the solar loop into the pool and will eventually run it through a waterfall instead.But make sure kids don't put their hands under the solar pipe outlet when it first comes out.It is scalding hot and needs to circulate through the loops to reach the desired temperature.Using a thermometer at the outlet,it maintains about a 4 to 6 degree temperature difference from the actual pool temperature.We live in Southern Ontario and averaged 86 to 90 degrees for the pool.This is way to hot personally but I seemed to be the minority,lol.I followed the advice of having at least half the square surface of the pool done in my solar glazed panel and it worked very well.Others have already stated about using a shop vac or air compressor to blow the lines out for winter.Another alternative is RV anti-freeze which can be used over and over as well.My pool is an inground 14 x 28 rectangle.I have a 1hp Hayward pump which easily handles the solar loop which is on a self supporting rack at about a 30 degree angle facing southwest(best scenario I had).

[Apartment Therapy Main] Good Questions: Best Space Heaters? | Apartment Therapy New York: I have a different suggestion for heating: try one of those cheap warm-air-blowing humidifiers (ours is Vicks.) The cleaning's super easy when they're tiny and carryable -- since you need to refill the tank every night, you have the perfect opportunity for a quick rinse. We never had a problem with mold and were able to keep our (granted very small) Boston bedroom warm all night last year without any other heat source.

[The LoHud Yankees Blog] Spring Training Game 21: Yankees at Orioles | The Lohud Yankees Blog: While this decision reduces the benefit of having built up Joba’s innings, they still would have had to keep his innings in check last year in order to minimize the risk of injury. Like you said, hopefully he’ll end up in the rotation long-term and having those innings under his belt will prove helpful.

[Hybrid Cars] Hybrid Cars: Toyota Prius Hybrid Testimonials: They shutdown the injectors slowdown or off throttle controler programing has fuel blocks and also transmission decissions that save fuel drasticaly from just a few years ago this is whats (being used currently on GM products thats why the new Chevy truck can boast a mpg of 20 (this is infact on the new fuel rating system) and it is a full size truck.
