You can build a simple mech and teach it to walk or a complex mech to do battle with other players' mechs.
When the Wright brothers flew in 1903, comfort and safety were secondary to mission success. The open structure of early-model airplanes left pilots' eyes vulnerable to small particles and serious injury. Protecting one's vision prompted the creation of pilot goggles, also called aviator goggles. Unlike reading glasses of the time, pilot goggles covered the entire eye socket which enabled a broader field of vision. Creating your own pilot goggles of the period isn't difficult, but familiarity in working with crafting glue is helpful.
Early on in the life of the Chevrolet S10 pickup, it was a relatively simple vehicle that only had the most basic of electronic engine controls. As time progressed, the S10 became more complex and powerful. The 1991 model came standard with General Motors’ then-famous “Iron Duke” 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that cranked out an acceptable 105 horsepower. This engine relied more on electrical control than the earlier years, including a throttle position sensor. Since this sensor only adjusts voltage to indicate its reading, testing it is nearly as easy as testing battery voltage.
Motor vehicles and home cooling systems have air-conditioner, or A/C, units. These units use refrigerants to cool the air to make the temperature more comfortable during hot days. Some air conditioners use R22 refrigerants, although ES22a provides a much cooler temperature and doesn't cause as much stress on equipment. You add the ES22a to your system as you would the normal R22 refrigerant when the system begins to run low and needs a recharge.

The Turner SSB +2 is a desktop microphone used in both HAM and CB radio applications. These microphones were manufactured throughout the '70s and '80s. Since many of these microphones are vintage, they often need significant restoration. A big part of microphone restoration involves rewiring the connector inside the microphone, referred to as the XLR connector. XLR connectors are three-pin connectors used in most audio technology, such as audio mixers, amplifiers and multitrack recorders. Rewiring your Turner microphone requires partially dismantling the microphone assembly.
The condenser on your outside air conditioning unit is used to condense the Freon and humidity inside the unit so it emits cool air. If you have a leak in your AC unit and you’re looking for a quick fix, you can recharge the unit before you call a technician to plug the leak. Once charged, the condenser will store the Freon for use. You don’t have to be an AC technician to charge your unit. You can do it yourself.
Simply put, yeast is a fungus that converts sugar into alcohol. All by itself, yeast is not very helpful to a growing radish. Yeast is, however, a component in compost tea, a fermented form of compost said to be beneficial to vegetable crops as both a foliar and a soil drench fertilizer. According to Kentucky State University, compost tea not only provides nutrients, but can also fight disease and repel pests.
Shapes do not come much simpler than a rectangle. Consisting of two sets of parallel lines connected at four right angles -- which by definition measure 90 degrees -- a rectangle is a quadrilateral that can be broken down into two dimensions, its length or width, where the shape's length is the longer of the two dimensions. A rectangle's area is the measurement found inside its four sides, given by the simple formula "area equals length * width," and its perimeter is the total of the four sides, given by "perimeter equals 2 * length + 2 * width." These…

The showy, reddish-purple stems of the Salix purpurea, or basket willow, add color and visual interest to any landscape. A Eurasian native, this perennial shrub has long been a favorite in American gardens. The narrow, sliver-blue leaves add an eye-catching, fine texture to the surroundings during the growing season; after the foliage falls, the flexible stems can be harvested and used for craft projects. To encourage new, vigorous growth and abundant flowering, S. purpurea should be cut back hard in the late winter. It may look a bit severe, but the robust stalks are capable of growing up to 10…
A broadleaf evergreen, the rhododendron's foliage often sustains winter injury. The affected leaves appear burnt and crispy around the margins and there may be surface yellowing. If the leaves are extensively damaged, they fall from the rhododendron during the late summer. The twigs of the rhododendron also may also die back. Because winter damage is not a disease, the rhododendron usually recovers without treatment. Preventing the leaves from becoming damaged during the cold, long winter helps the plant remain green all year long.

In a trial, each of the opposing parties have the right to present evidence to the court. Often, one party disagrees with evidence presented by the opposing party. A rebuttal is when a counselor is given the opportunity to refute claims made by the opposing side. This is often done strategically to ensure unsupported evidence is invalidated in the minds of the judge or jury. A rebuttal is often distinguished from an objection in that a rebuttal takes place during cross examination, whereas an objection is generally raised immediately following an unsupported statement. The application of each varies based on…
At first glance, the humid environment of a terrarium might not seem like the ideal place for growing cacti since most species thrive under arid conditions, but it is possible to create a thriving cactus terrarium if the proper container and growing medium are used and the right cactus species are chosen. However, even well-planned cactus terrariums run the risk of failing if they are over-watered or the plants are not given adequate light, so it is vitally important to water sparingly and provide at least six hours of bright, indirect light each day to keep the plants healthy and…

Scientists have always had a need for improvisation in the laboratory. Antoine Lavoisier constructed all of his equipment for extremely fine and exact measurements of gasses during the late 1700s. In order to create a desired apparatus, most commonly glassware, there are a couple of required fundamental tools, namely glass tubing and a hot flame. The instructions below are to create a chamber suited for production of oxygen and hydrogen from water.
