What type of exhaust ventilation system is right for my need?
Basically, I am looking to exhaust out some hot air (roughly 25,000btu/hr) from a piece of machinery. I believe if I do this, it will releave my hvac unit of 300,000 btu/day (12hrs of operation) of cooling power needed jus to negate the heat from this piece of equipment. Ive already designed and fabricated a vent adapter that catches all the outcoming air and redirects it into a 4" exhaust pipe. This exhaust has been ran up the wall, through the ceiling and now I'm at the part where I ask myself, exactly how do i get this out?
There have been problems thus far, in which the equipment overheated because the heat accumalated in the newly fabricated vent thingamajig. I figured if I can create negative pressure (by some type of forced suction, ie vacuum, fan, etc), that I can effectively remove that heat. Are there any brands or specific models that do some hi-flow suction/ventilation unit out thats economic (under $500 not incl installation) at the same time?
Thanks for your time, and consideration :)
3 AnswersDo It Yourself (DIY)9 years agoWhy does my hand hurt?
Prior symptoms: Pinkies have felt somewhat numb for the past 6 months. I got hit in my balls one time, and it felt like all the blood in my hands rushed out, and at the same time thousands of needles pricked my hands. Skin around radiating pain is very sensitive, and sometimes itchy.
I went swimming the other day, and jumped into some pretty cool water. As soon as I jumped in, my body clinched (shock vs the cold), a natural reaction. However, something inside my finger felt like it ripped (possibly from the clinching). It immediately felt like a thousand needles poking into and throughout my index finger. The pain, although not too bad seems to radiate from the finger, through the hand, and upwards towards my forearms. It feels as if there is some kind of burning sensation running up and down my forearm through a vein, and my entire left arm feels very sore. I've called in to a hospital and they said I should go to urgent care immediately because it may be a damaged nerve ending. I've searched webMD and my symptoms point towards Carpal tunnel syndrome (lol). The pain isn't too bad, however it is very irritating. On a 1-10 scale, I'd rate the pain a 3, however I do have a high tolerance for pain. Any suggestions or incite from those with a common experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a million :)
2 AnswersPain & Pain Management1 decade agoWebsite design help?
I am trying to create a website, but the problem is I dont know how, I only know a little bit of what I can remember in HTML, but thats all. Fine, so I'm going to a hire a webdesigner to do the work. I met with one, and he says he will design using "dotnetnuke" and a skin of my choice, for a price of 1200 USD. For those that who dont know, a dotnetnuke site supposedly runs on modules and what-not; the modules can be inserted like sticking coins into a vending machine. The question I ask is, should I pay someone $1200 for a website that seems so easy to put together? if yes, fine. However if not, then what is a reasonable amount to offer?
6 AnswersProgramming & Design1 decade agoComputer RAM Upgrade Question?
I have a HP A6000n desktop computer running Athlon 64 X2 (W) 4200+ 2.2 GHz. I know AMD sux, so dont clown. =P
You can find more info @:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam...
I am looking to upgrade my memory, and I was wondering if I had to stick to the recomended ram type; such as DDR2 PC2-4200, or if going to a higher number, such as PC2-5300 or PC2-6700 would make a difference, or not help my computer at all.
Also, it says I have 4 slots, would it matter if I mixed up the ram sticks? such as having 1gb in 1 slot, and 2gb in another? or do they all have to be the same?
Also, besides pricewatch, what other sites offer competitive prices?
Thanks in advance for your help =)

4 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoAm I a bad brother?
I have been helping my brother open up his business. It is hard work and lots of stress. He is also 14 years my elder and im a college junior. One morning, after a late night of work, he wakes me up to go back to work. After a minute or so of waking up, I reply, "alright." Regardless of how I said it, this gets him pissed, and he tells me not to say "alright." Then I get pissed, because 1- he's now throwing my morning down the garbage and 2- he's trying to punk me. He's 14 yrs my elder, but still, im 24 years old. Im a grown *** man. So I confront him , telling him never to tell me what NOT to say. This pisses him off, and we get into it, physically. I show him I'm the bigger and stronger man - and he recognizes it. But he has to go under the belt by saying everything I've done for him was a waste of time. All the hard work I put in for him - work that even a paid person wouldnt do. Obviously, there is much more than 1000 words can tell to this story, but am I bad bro?
10 AnswersFamily1 decade agoIs butane gas (from a lighter) harmful to dogs?
Here is what happened: My dog somehow got a hold of one of my lighters, and thought it would be a good chew toy. He chewed and chewed on it, til everything was ripped apart except for the butane tank. He decided that it might be fun to chew on the butane tank, and so he did. In turn, it popped right in his mouth, and all the gas emptied. Although this happened right next to me, I can't tell how much gas he swallowed/breathed in.
Would this adversely effect my dog's health? Or am I over worrying my self?
Please give knowledgeable answers, and not opinions. Also, seeking answers from Dog vet's, or anyone familiar with dog physiology and biochemistry.
Thanks!

4 AnswersChemistry1 decade agoWhy is science such a negative field?
Ha ha! Got your attention! =P. Okay the question I ask is Why is science based on such negativity? I mean, when a scientist gives out his/her knowledge to the world, whats the first thing they do? They perform the same experiments, protocols, or whatever it is that they do, and try to nullify, and make false of the evidence that proved it to be right. Why are scientists such haters?

Does the restraining order cost money? If so to whom? The person filing, or the person being filed against? How about if it is rejected by the judge based on my (the person being filed against) case? Can someone please tell me for California's laws? Thanks :)
3 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police1 decade agoHow do I deal with a restraining order?
First off, I know it seems like I'm some stalker or something in order to get a restraining order placed on me. In fact this is not true. I am a normal guy, who bumped heads with a psycho girl, that is trying to get me in trouble.
There is this female. I've heard that she has recently filed for a restrainign order against me, and as I have researched them, I've found that I'd be the only one to get in trouble even if I was in a place that she happened to come to. I am a photographer in the nightclubs, and seemingly it seems that she is trying to get me kicked out. (?). I have done nothing to her, and she's mad that I am better off than she. I have plenty of evidence (e-mails) showing her threatening me - and not once have I threatened her. Is there anyway to get this restraining order turned the other way against her - even if I present a good case to the judge? or must I file one?
Are there any rules saying that she may not come to where I am? Remember this is for CA. Thanks all :)
