How to Wind Toroidal Mobius Coils This was an original post from Wizzers workshop before John Logan and his site disappeared. A couple of years ago I ask Mr.Logan if I could publish this particular info of his as I found it really useful when I first started making these coils. He gave me permission, so for all my readers here is the article.

Biochar Biochar created through the pyrolysis process. History[edit] Left - a nutrient-poor oxisol; right - an oxisol transformed into fertile terra preta using biochar Pre-Columbian Amazonians are believed to have used biochar to enhance soil productivity. DIY Fixing Broken Flashlight Glass Fixing a broken flashlight glass – you can do it with stuff you upcycle from the recycling bin! It’s easy and essentially free, both things that I really like. You might like these related posts: Fixing a flashlight might seem a bit old school, but the fact is most preppers and homesteaders have at least a few of these around the house. We keep one in every room, and then a large stockpile of them by the basement door where they’re easy to find. Your phone battery might die, but an old-fashioned flashlight with a supply of D cell batteries is a great thing.

Tree Disease identification, symptoms, treatment options for tree diseases There are many different diseases that affect landscape trees and shrubs. Control of tree and shrub diseases cannot be properly accomplished until the disease pest is identified. Identification of tree and shrub diseases is crucial because, although most diseases can be controlled, there are some diseases that cannot be controlled. Disease control on landscape trees and shrubs can sometimes be accomplished by more than one method, depending on the particular disease that if infecting your landscape plants.

Tree Encyclopedia Trees have three principle features that distinguish them from all other plants. First, they have a woody stem, roots and branches which do not die back in winter, but continue to grow year after year. From the moment of its germination, a tree remains visible; from the tallest Sequoia to the smallest garden fruit tree, this principle of growth remains constant. Trees live longer than any other organism on earth. Trees commonly live more than 1,000 years, and many grow considerably older. A bristlecone pine, Pinus longaeva, at Schulman Grove in California has been documented both by core drilling (a pencil-thin core is taken from the tree’s trunk, and the rings are counted) and by carbon-dating as being 4,700 years old.

Regrarian Handbook *1. CLIMATE CHAPTER’ eHANDBOOK (77 pages) available NOW for only AUD$5!! *ON SALE as a FULL HARDCOPY late-2015!! Motorized Bicycle Forum I just built a simple, but powerful welder and it works great! I've been really needing to get someone to weld a 48T sprocket to a hub for my bro's trailer, but got tired of waiting on people, so I decided to do it myself. A typical MIG or rod welder is 24V and 90-170 Amps in most cases, and just uses a short circuit to melt the metal. I based my DIY welder from this knowledge, and did it my own way. - The DIY welder consists of Two 12V car batteries. Both batteries rated at 630A/525CCA. - Also 6 AWG wire to connect the 2 batteries in series to get 24V. - Heavy-Duty 6AWG jumper cables with good clips - 2/10/60A 12V battery charger to feed the batteries. - 14AWG solid copper household electrical wire to use as welding rod

Allan Savory’s TED talk is wrong, and the benefits of holistic grazing have been debunked. Photo by Vyacheslav Oseledko/AFP/Getty Images When Allan Savory finished his TED talk early last month, foodies worldwide collectively salivated. In roughly 22 minutes, Savory, a biologist and former member of the Rhodesian Parliament, challenged the conventional wisdom blaming livestock for the degradation of global grasslands into hardpan deserts. It has long been a basic tenet of environmentalism that 10,000 years of overgrazing has caused this desertification. Environmentalists insist that to restore degraded landscapes, we must reduce the presence of cattle, eat less meat, and allow ecosystems to repair themselves. Savory, who admits that he’s suggesting “the unthinkable,” wants humans to do the exact opposite: Add cattle to the deserts, manage them with obsessive precision, and eat more meat.
