    I'm hoping to get help with the math and equations to properly size a pair of gas struts or gas springs.?

    I'm building a roof top tent and will be using a pair of gas struts to open it after being unlatched. I've tried looking up some info on this and have found an overwhelming amount of almost related information and am hoping for some specific help. I've found some general guidelines that would work just fine I'm sure but I want to be able to do work so I can play around with it. Let me try to explain my setup in my totally ignorant-of-math way.

    Essentially I've got a floor and the roof opens by a pivot all the way to one side. My main issue is just trying to figure out the force required to overcome gravity at any given point along the roof. For example, how much force is required to overcome gravity near the pivot vs farther away.

    I can figure out how much force the strut is applying to the lid at any given angle but I don't know how much it needs to apply. 

    If this is too complicated an answer if anyone can point me in the right direction that would at least be better than the darts in the dart I'm currently throwing.

    Thank all you smart people out there. Y'all are amazing.

  • Can you use lye water from wood ash as an antiseptic? ?

    So it seems you can get lye water or at least some dirty version of that from mixing wood ash and water. In a survival situation could this be used as an antiseptic and then rinsed off?

  • Can I make a plywood door?

    I need a new 33'x77' door. Can I just sandwich two 3/4 inch pieces of plywood together and make a solid door?

    Will their be problems with the hinges or lockset because of the grain in plywood? It has to better than my shot out solid core mdf door that's falling off the hinges.I also need to add a window and dog door so its seems easiest to just build the door from scratch. If there are better ideas please let me know. Obviously money is my concern here. 

    Thank you guys

My kind *** heart is broker than a 2 piece bat and salespeople make money. Salespeople build companies. Salespeople can move people and push people. Salespeople can motivate people.

  • Bluetooth speakers for car?

    Can I buy aftermarket replacement speakers for my car, but instead of hooking up to a head unit they just connect to my phone through bluetooth? They would replace the factory speakers, still be installed to run off of battery power, but have a bluetooth connection?

  • Automotive (12volt) bluetooth receiver/controller?

    Im looking for a Bluetooth Receiver/controller to install into my truck. I'm looking for something that I can use with controllable or programmable outputs. For example, I could push a button on my phone and turn on my headlights, or turn on my overhead lights. Something I can install, and plug/solder/attach a electronic component to, and be able to control power to that component using a Bluetooth connection. This would ideally have many programmable outputs. I'm sorry if I haven't used the correct terminology but I've hopefully explained what I'm looking for.

  • Where can i find/get a 22lr with the horizontal under barrel magazine?

    I have a fairly old semi auto 22 rifle that has a horizontal magazine right under the barrel that holds 17 bullets. I can only find new guns with like 10 round clips which is lame in comparison lol. What is that part called also? Can I build a custom 22 rifle with this? Im new to all this so any info and websites that help people build 22s or list parts etc would be awesome. Could I machine my own and incorporate it into an existing rifle? It will be used just for fun around the property.

    Much thanks

  • Lunch vs. luncheon usage?

    So I've just read that lunch is an abbreviation of luncheon. Does that mean the terms are interchangable?

    I'm in the u.s and here my understanding of the word was a luncheon was strictly an event, not something you could eat. I could say im going to eat lunch, but would never say, I'm going to eat luncheon.

    Is this just because nobody knows lunch is an abbreviation?
