I misspoke, what I intended to say is that lithium ion batteries are never going to be user swappable. Yes, you can get sketchy stuff off of Amazon that supports it, but the regulatory bodies will, correctly, continue to strongly resist end

That's great to hear. UL certification is a starting point. How is that going? What does EU-certified mean with regards to battery safety? I think the sticking point with UL is that you need to know the specific application in order to

Yes, but unless you drink the lead acid battery acid, you're not exposed to it. Ditto for NiCd. No one is drinking battery electrolyte. The key is that all of the above in Lithium ion are VOC and highly available, including what you me

I could see this being interesting if you handle all the aspects of pack teardown, rebuild and recertification, and send out finished packs. Would you be comfortable with doing that and standing behind those 100%? Asking regular people or e

How do you address local heat generation at the interfaces between the cells and the contacts? Does that pose additional risk of cell failure leading to thermal runaway in high current scenarios?

Lithium ion batteries and battery modules are never ever gonna be user repairable. The main reason is that the electrolyte is a highly toxic, carcinogenic and extremely flammable organic solvent. AAs are user swappable because the electroly

I think I read that colic has to do with formula feeding? Apparently this sort of crying is not present in breastfed babies, it has to do with discomfort due to excessive gas generated when digesting the infant formula. Babies certainly did

If it pans out, looks like an OK way to get a backup chair. But we still need the mainstream way, which is the seating specialists and therapists to accurately spec, size and adjust the chair with the user in it. Curious if they will go get

For manufactured cells, integrated safety devices would likely preclude such a fault. People say they have seen cells explode, but don't realize those are probably highly engineered failure modes (the cells are/need to be specific

I love the bookshelf interface. It is as good as a regular bookshelf for browsing and inspires me to explore. However, I hit the back button as soon as I click a link, where with a physical bookshelf I would probably crack the book and flip

Thank you for the great response, that does mirror my experience, those tangent curves want to flip/change direction. I can't believe that all of Fusion, and many other CAM software, is built on such a shaky "sketchy" fo

Still didn't work for me. I think it's stuck in my system now. I think Fusion copies the add-in to a different directory, which I need to go find and manually delete. These add-ins should really have a Windows Installer function s

It takes surprisingly few generations to evolve traits. If there is a distribution of skittishness and a high pass filter takes away everything under a given limit, you'll get rapid evolution. As another example, urban populations of a
