How to build a CORN Stove

2010-03-30T18:59:00.001-07:00

Well, Corn it's cheap and works like a charm as a fuel.
Take a look at this vids. And you might surprise yourself.

One plus two it's ? yeahhh, you got it, A CORN STOVE...

That second one was made for a greenhouse, but it's the same basics for your home.

People are not used to it, but it's clean.

I thought to make a how-to build a corn stove, but, well, I have my friends that did a good job, and I won't teach you how because it's their job.

If you want my advice, well ...hire me.

How to fix heat problem on hp dv5 LapTop, Amd Turion x2 rm-70 (Code name:Griffin)

2010-03-26T14:59:00.000-07:00

Due contstants complains of all Hp user's of Dv pavillions, on the heat issue and thanks to hp who never wanted to have my laptop in return and fix it, without getting some money. Well, I did it my self.

Went down from THM= F 202, Core0= F 194 Core1= F 194 to THM= F 186 , Core0= F 184 Cor1= F 184.

Step one, dismantle. (self explanatory video )
Step two, cleaning the pipes.
Step three, use high density polysynthetic silver. ( thermal compound)*
Step four, backtracking, and putting all back together again.
Step five undervolt and processor power management techniques.

*The one I used at first was a delta brand, pretty shitty by the way. So i bought Artic silver 5

Adendum

First Technique: Unload proceses throttle
In windows vista, the easiest way it is going to:

Start >All Programs >Control Panel> Power Options> power plan> change plan settings> advanced plan settings>processor power management>Maximun processor state

In my case with just 99% was enough, it went down inbetween 50F-41F, thats 10c-5c degrees. Not bad!

Second Technique: undervolting the cpu.
you can use
K10stat091
here
PumaStateCtrl
here
RMclock
here
or
x86IandC
here

I did undervolted from 1,2v to 0,8v, and I have a coolest laptop.

Operative System,
As you can see on the pics, vista 64bits on asus and 32 bits on amd.
because they are built like that.

The Test - Blend test, Memory and C.P.U
As I said, I run cpu-z, Hardware monitor, and ORTHOS on both at the same time. Take a look at the windows clock below.

Intel temperature at the begining

at 1 minute

at 10 minutes

at 20 minutes

Amd temperature at the begining

amd At the end

intel at the same time, in the end

This one it's just a draft, but you can tell the difference.
By the way, what's the temperature that water boils ??
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling#Boiling_in_cookery

Hp dv5 ran hot, even with a cooler pad

How long did the batteries last ?
Asus u880v battery last for about 4 hours and a half and Hp dv5 just last 1 hour

Building an Ip-Phone

2009-11-29T22:14:00.000-08:00

How to get a phone number in the U.S. and get phone calls anywhere in the world on you laptop screen (softphone)

google voice > fwcall > ipkall >fwcall > vbuzzer

Basicaly get an DID from Google Voice.
Ipkall can give you one but GV its a lot better (note that gv its not available enywhere else but the US.)
Then forward all calls to ipkall (DID) phone number, ipkall will route through SIP and you get the call on any softphone, like vbuzzer, or phone express. (softphone)
if you wanted, you could buy a PAP2-NA hone adapter and hooked it on a router

useful for mobile users, isn't it ?

Well, there are a lot of softwareS you can place on you pda o ipod like fring, and got yourself an ip-phone.

Iinterface with a microcontroller, a AC load.

2009-04-20T13:23:00.000-07:00

Hi. Now, let us see how we interface with a microcontroller, a AC load. Here we have an Optocoupler MOC3041. It could be 3042, 61, 63. They are the Optocouplers with zero voltage crossing. So, in the event of using this IC from the microcontroller, we have connected one LED in series to understand that while this goes high, the current, while the current flows through this route, this LED will glow indicating that our circuit is working as far as the input to the Optocoupler is concerned. This may or may not be used but this gives a good indication that the current is flowing through the internal LED of the Optocoupler. This is the internal LED of the Optocoupler. Since this is an IC and we are not able to see the light of this LED which will be ultimately falling on this TRIAC to make it conductive.

And let’s come again. So, when we make this high, the current will flow this way, this way, this way and this way and complete the circuit. And in that process, this light will fall on this. And once this light fall on this, this main circuit closes. Main circuit closes means, how the supply will flow from here and from, say, this is positive cycle, so, this side is positive. So, positive goes this way, passes through this way. It cannot go this way because the gate is not triggered. So, it goes this way and reaches here and conducts this way only if the light is falling from here to here. So, it conducts this way, comes this way, this way, passes through the gate and M1 terminal, we call it M1 terminal and to the neutral. Then only, the main current flows this route. Until we fire the gate, the main current will not flow.

Now we will see that how, if we suppose disconnect this line, ok, let me disconnect this line. And see, when I give power to it, lets see what happens. AC supply is available. I make it one, I make it one, the current flows through this, internally this light falls on this. But the path is not complete. So, the gate is not triggered, the lamp is not glowing, right? And we join it again, join it again and see, in this situation, once we power this and if I make it 1, you find this lamp is glowing. I make it 0, the lamp is off. I make it 1, the lamp is glowing. I make it 0 the lamp is off. This is how a TRIAC is used in series with the supply and the lamp, interface to the microcontroller. (Video)

Arduino is a physical computing platform based on a simple I/O board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software running on a computer (e.g., Adobe Flash, Processing, Max/MSP, Pure Data, SuperCollider). Currently shipping versions can be purchased pre-assembled; hardware design information is available for those who would like to assemble an Arduino by hand.

The Arduino project received an honorary mention in the Digital Communities category at the 2006 Prix Ars Electronica.[1][2]

[edit] Implementation

[edit] Hardware

An Arduino board consists of an Atmel AVR microcontroller (ATmega168 in newer versions, ATmega8 in older versions) and complementary components to facilitate programming and incorporation into other circuits. Each board includes at least a 5-volt linear regulator and a 16MHz crystal oscillator (or ceramic resonator in some variants). The microcontroller is pre-programmed with a bootloader so that an external programmer is not necessary.

At a conceptual level, all boards are programmed over an RS-232 serial connection, but the way this is implemented in hardware varies by version. Serial Arduino boards contain a simple inverter circuit to convert between RS-232-level and TTL-level signals. Current Arduino boards including the Diecimila are programmed via USB, implemented using USB-to-serial adapter chips such as the FTDI FT232. Some variants, such as the Arduino Mini and the unofficial Boarduino, offload the circuitry required to connect to the computer onto a detachable USB-to-serial adapter board or cable.

The Arduino board exposes most of the microcontroller's I/O pins for use by other circuits. The Diecimila, for example, provides 14 digital I/O pins, 6 of which can produce PWM signals, and 6 analog inputs. These pins are available on the top side of the board, via female 0.1 inch headers. Several plug-in application boards known as "shields" are also commercially available.

The Arduino-compatible Barebones and Boarduino boards provide male header pins on the underside of the board in two more closely spaced rows for ease of use with solderless breadboards.

aplicacion en cgi en un servidor apache(linux), desde la cual se pueden manejar una unos motores paso a paso de viejas disqueteras 5 1/2, webcam, una luz y un velador de lava.
La interface del hardware se arma por menos de $5.
Permite manejar Motores para abrir puertas de edificios o de un estacionamiento, Doorbell, etc. Con pequeños cambios en el switch.
El codigo fuente lo podes bajar de drive me insane. Muy lindo y simple.
