Dear Gummy.....

[ArtificialReef]

Dear Mad as hell and ain't going to take it anymore,

My best advice is to just mod for your own satisfaction. If you try to please everyone you will end up with a Rube Goldberg contraption. In a nut shell if you do put in the Kitchen sink someone will want running water with it so they can wash the thing and then someone will want it to have hot and cold running water. By the time you put all that in along with the extension cord to the hot water heater you will need a truck to haul it around in. Oh yea air conditioning would be nice too. Central heat, cruse control, MP3, electric start, on star, 20 gig hard drive, blue tooth, and a self filling Gummy tank.

Yeah, that way you don't end up with something like this poor ..........

Dear Gummy,
I rested on my laurels and was quite complacent until I had surgery on my shoulder and am laid up off work for a month. I am modding everything in the house now and my wife is getting frustrated with me running the dremel in my office at all hours of the night. What do I do?

...on a positive note, my 15 year old daughter has become my evil mod minion and we are building as fast as we can go. Great father-daughter time.

Ooo ooo, I want a minion!!

[MadmanMacguyver]

You can have My minion Tomcatt but beware she may chase ya around the house...she just hollers at my tools when I turn em on...

I'm jealous someone has a minion that actually helps

Dear minion slave,
Great job, the family that mods together vapes together.
As for the complaints about the Dremel,,
Ear plugs, one set for her so that she won't hear it, and one set for you just in case she does.

My minion discovered I'd left a mod in her room on the piano, and gingerly brought it back to me holding it carefully with a tissue so as not to touch "the poison". Otherwise she's a fair critique of my work and loans me her beading tools.

 

[Gummy Bear]

Having rubbed my eyes after getting e-juice on my fingers I don't blame her.
I use to think it burned my lips when I first started vaping. now I just make sure to lick it off my fingers before rubbing my eyes.

PWM can cause FM interference, depends on the frequency of the regulator and what it's harmonic frequencies are. =] You could try a choke on the antenna wire but I doubt you will have much luck filtering the noise out as it is probably interfering with the radios IF frequency. Also improving the ground connection for the radio may help some but that is more for sparkplug noise to the radio. You hear that mostly on AM when you step on the gas. They make a choke for that also. A choke is just a ferrite ring that you loop either the antenna wire through or the power wires.

The best fix would be to run a ground wire from the body of your PV to the chassis of the vehicle. This will drain the FM radiation. Try touching a metal part of your mod to a bare metal part of the car when you fire it and see if the noise goes away.

Radio in my Caddy better not be cheap...new to VV...first time out and about with them.

But I promise you, it happens !


fm stations if that matters...

great advice. See we have enough of a knowledge base here that if we wanted to I'd bet we could put a PV on the moon. (with operator)

Unless of course the pv is positive grounded, or in the case of several German cars the car itself is positive grounded.

 

[MadmanMacguyver]

lol she doesn't care about the dremel...its these she is disturbed about...I'm making a wood box for my masterpiece...

 

[asdaq]

Hey Madman, is that the masterpiece or a 'show us your workbench' thread pic?

 

[Gummy Bear]

It can't be a work bench,, it's to clean.

 

[MadmanMacguyver]

that was just after it was setup...and I clean it after every use so it's pretty much the same before I start working every time Doc...otherwise I would never find my tools...I make a HUUUUUGE Mess while working...maybe thats why my minion gets mad while I am working...that or because I am scaring the Rats she likes to chase away w all the noise...

umm...?
and it's not the mod making noise...it is the radio making static when one of these PVs are activated....

Hi, Yes the mod is causing interference that the radio pick up. The real nifty question is if it make a different noise or no noise at different output voltages. ??????????

I can just hear the fraidy cats with pacemakers and implanted defibrillators now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

You could use kanthal to make the choke, if the PV dies, you can vape the car.

 

[Gummy Bear]

Dear Auto Vapor,
Uh,, we need to have Nurse Cratchet check you out.
Sounds like you done modded one too many mufflers.

Nutten to be shamed about, it's happened to most all of us here.
And I did have a word with her about being a bit more gentle when she's taking temps.

 

[classwife]

lol...I'll play with the voltages and see if the static worsens...but the LT is set at 4.1 and the vaporlux is set at 4.3
I think my antennae is in the windshield ?

I just think this is really odd.
