How Do I Get Rid of Mice in Our RV?

I am by no means an expert on pest and rodent control, but after
researching the subject I can offer a few ideas that seem to
work for other RVers ... ....

How Do I Get Rid of Mice in Our RV?

The first and most important step is to try and prevent mice
from being able to access you RV. This can be difficult because
they can enter the RV through some very small areas. Start by
inspecting the underside of your RV for any gaps or holes. Fill
these gaps using silicone or expanding foam. A word of caution,
if you never used expanding foam before you should experiment
with it on something other than your RV first. When it dries it
can expand a great deal more than you expect.

Next, open drawers and cabinet doors inside your RV. Look in all
of the corners andcrevices, especially where plumbing and
wiring enter the RV. If you can see any daylight mice can get
in. Again, fill these areas with silicone or foam.

Mice also enter through vents like the furnace. You can purchase
wire mesh type covers from your RV dealer that can be installed
over these vents. Many RVers suggest you some type of spray
insect spray (that contains mint oils) around the wheel to
discourage mice. The only problem with this is you would need to
do it every couple days. I don't recommend any type of poison.
It can take several days for the poison to work and the mice
will usually die somewhere that you can't find them. If this
happens you may never get rid of the smell.

Other RVers recommend using mothballsthroughout the RV and in
storage compartments, if you don't mind the smell of mothballs.
The alternative to mothballs is dryer sheets, like Bounce.
People swear they work and the smell is much more pleasant. If
you are close to where your RV is being stored you may want to
use conventional mouse traps and check for mice every few days.
The only problem with traps is the bait can actually attract
mice. Of course you will want to remove any food from the RV
that can also attract mice.

Happy Camping,

Testing a Transformer - How To Accurately Test A Transformer

There is two types of transformers in the market- linear transformer and switch mode power transformer. The transformers build is different. Sometimes it is just referred as ac transformer. Linear transformer mostly used in radio, scheme kits, Vcd and etc while switch mode transformer can be found in Monitor, Tv, Fax and so on.

Testing a Transformer - How To Accurately Test A Transformer

A transformer consists of two or more coils wound on the same core. For power transformers, the core material is normally iron. For a radio-frequency transformer, the core material is normally ferrite or air. The basic asset of a transformer is to change Ac voltage. A transformer cannot change direct current voltage. A step down transformer has a lower Ac yield voltage at its secondary winding than the Ac input voltage to its traditional winding. Conversely, a step up transformer has a higher secondary than traditional voltage. The transformer laminations or coating of shellac, enamel or varnish is to insulate adjacent turns from shorts between winding. I will not go too details about how transformer work and transformer calculation as you can read more details from most electrical and electronic transformers books.

How to test transformers: Transformer failures are relatively rare in most electronic equipment, compared with other components. If too much current goes through a coil or winding, the winding heats up and can whether open up completely, or the insulation between turns of wire can break down, causing the coil to be partly or wholly shorted.

Just like a coil, you can check continuity of any traditional or secondary transformer winding. The actual value of Dc resistance you read is rather meaningless, but at least you will know whether a winding is open. Checking linear transformer is quite right forward. Apply the ac voltage to the traditional winding and expect yield voltage at the secondary side. No or low yield voltage means the transformer winding has open or shorted winding. Look for any evidence of overheating, such as darkened or blackened areas or a burnt smell.

About how to test a power transformer-it is a itsybitsy bit complicated. You cannot apply ac voltage to the equipment and expect the desire yield at the secondary side without join together to load otherwise over voltage will happen (because you have removed all the secondary load) and will blow the power section which consist of power fet, pwm ic and etc. Switch mode power provide are designed to run with load while linear transformer can be test without load.

The best way to test a switch mode power transformer is first take off it from the board. Check only the traditional winding as secondary winding failures are exceedingly rare. How do we know which one is the traditional winding? Trace from the big filter cap the definite pin to see where the circuit goes. It will go to one of the pin of the transformer. Then look for the power fet middle pin which is the Drain and it will lead to other pin of the transformer. This two pins is the traditional winding of the transformer. Checking the resistance of the traditional winding only can characterize whether it is open but it cannot check if it has developed a shorted winding. Only by using a ringer test you will know if it shorted or not. A shorted turn in the traditional winding can cause the power section to blow.

The cheapest ringer tester that i came over is Dick Smith Lopt Meter or flyback tester. Just join together the probes to the traditional winding and the corollary are instantly seen from the Led bar graph. 4-8 bar represent a good winding, 1-2 bar represent partial short and if the led goes off means there is a heavy short in the winding. Besides checking the transformer it can be use to check B+ Coil, horizontal yoke coil and flyback traditional winding and ballast (choke).

The high-priced ringer tester is from sencore equipment. Sencore Lc102 and Lc103C Besides checking capacitor it also have the ability to check all kind of winding. whether it is a low voltage transformer, high voltage transformer, current transformer, pulse transformer, electric transformer, convention transformer this equipment will be able to check and test it.

If you do not wish to invest on this tester you may use a light bulb to check it. take off one of the traditional winding pin and join together a 60 watt light bulb. One end to the circuit while the other to the transformer pin. If the bulb light and didn't goes off surmise a shorted winding and if the light goes off, the winding is ok.

Transformer fix is not easy and it want a good skill to do it. Most of the transformer repairer preferred to rewind bigger winding such as fan, car alternator and starter. Switch mode power transformer is a itsybitsy bit difficult to rewind because of the small size and low price.

How to Get Rid of Mice in Your House

If you have one mouse in the home, there is a high chance that there are others inside as well. This could lead to an infestation if nothing is done to help the problem.

How to Get Rid of Mice in Your House

The first steps involve mouse-proofing your home especially the kitchen area. Keep food particles off the floor and counters. A couple times a day wipe down the counters and try to mop the floor as often as possible.

In the kitchen many leave things like phone cords or electrical cords hanging from counters. Keep these in their place so that mice can't use them to climb up to gain access to food.

Take your cereals and grains and put them up on high shelves in the kitchen. Things like canned goods or completely sealed containers can go on the lower levels.

Seal up the trash nightly. Make sure that it's taken out and put into a container that mice won't be able to get into. With a seal you can also prevent other insect based pests in your home.

If you find any holes or cracks in the wall, sealed up with steel wool since mice won't be able to chew through it.

To kill the mice poisons aren't always the best option. Mice will die from this but sometimes die stuck in the wall causing a horrible smell. Pets might find the poison or the mouse dead with poison inside them. Your children may also come in contact with the poison.

Traps are fairly effective. It will significantly reduce their numbers and are fairly safe to use. Electronic traps are typically more humane than other types of traps like snap traps and sticky traps.

Repellents should be used around your food supply as well. These would be things like peppermint oil on a cotton ball. Drop these into drawers and into cabinets that mice may have been in.

Tennis Elbow - Is Using Heat Good For It?

Today I spoke online with someone suffering from Tennis Elbow. A medical professional had told him to use heat on the area, but it didn't seem to be helping.
 
He wanted to know if using heat was good for Tennis Elbow. What do you think?
 
What Does Heat Do?
 
Applying heat brings blood to the area. For various reasons, when heat is applied to the skin, the body pushes blood to the area. Blood basically comes from the arteries into the muscles and skin.
 
Many people use heat for various aches and pain because it makes them feel better. And it usually does, because most muscle pain is due to the lack of new blood in the muscle. New blood brings new oxygen and new nutrition to the muscle, and the muscle likes that.
 
But due to the many factors of why a person in hurting in the first place, very soon the muscle again experiences reduced circulation and lacks the best amount of oxygen and nutrition, and irritants get trapped in the area too.
 
So using heat is really good because it helps the muscle get the nutrition it needs to be happy and healthy.
 
If the amount of circulation was the only issue, heat would be all you need. But have you ever noticed that when people use heat because it reduces pain, it doesn't actually fix anything, and they continue to hurt after the benefit of the heat wears off?
 
The Problem of using Heat and Tennis Elbow.
 
In the very early stages of Tennis Elbow, heat can be a real help. It is unlikely to reverse the growing problem, but when the elbow pain dynamic is beginning, heat can help the body fight it off and stay mostly pain free for a longer period of time.
 
However, most people ignore their pain until it becomes a real problem. And by then, using just heat can actually hurt you more than help you.
 
Because of the way Inflammation and the Pain Causing Dynamic works, when heat brings new blood to the area, it may feel better briefly, but what you don't feel is that new fluid gets trapped in the area, along with pain enhancing chemical and normal metabolic waste. 
 
Because Inflammation traps fluid in the area, you can actually have cell damage due to starvation because nutrition has a harder time getting through all the extra fluid to feed the cells.
 
The way the Tendonitis dynamic works in the body, and the way heat works with the body, heat cannot reverse the dynamic, nor really help it.
 
Having said that, if you alternate heat with cold, you can get an incredible circulatory effect. But make sure to always finish on cold.
 
Heat tries to help, but despite its best intentions, actually hurts you.

The Pros and Cons Of The Best Filipina Dating Sites, What Are These?

On the World Wide Web, the best Filipina dating sites are on the rise. But what are the advantages and disadvantages that avid followers and members should know about using these sites before they venture into one in transpiring their excellent romance into a reality?

Before the internet, seeing a date was often an costly and time inviting process, but as more websites designed to help population find their soul mates growth in number, seeing true love becomes so much easier. This is just one of the advantages of dating in the contemporary ages. With a mouse click or two, you can get a opportunity to meet different kinds of population and in a short duration of time, build what they call "chemistry". In these dating sites, you can break geographical barriers without spending a lot of money traveling and exploring. population can recite and share something with other population of different races. You can find a Filipina girl even without going to the Philippines. Long length relationships are not a qoute anymore. You can get to see and recite with your partner through live webcam and message boards.

Another great thing about the best Filipina dating sites is that they need no huge investment. All you ever need are the basics - a computer with an internet connection, some knowledge on how to use the internet, and maybe a minimal venture (although many sites allow you to use the service for free).

Some population often get too problematic about the burdens of pricey dates such as when you go to the movies, dinner, and drinks but in online dating those problems are not encountered because online dating can be easily experienced without the concentrate leaving their homes. Electronic conversations and online chatting tend to be more honest, frank, right to the point, and involve less emotional risk, particularly when dealing with larger questions of compatibility. In online dating, rejection is much less hurting and less embarrassing.

By some means, there are also disadvantages to online dating. While it's true that looks aren't everything, chemistry plays an leading role in whether a connection will work. Body language, appearance and even voice tone decide attraction, but in online dating none of these can be evaluated. You can't easily tell if the person on the other end of the line does tell you the truth. Some population may deceive others by taking fake photos or providing false descriptions of their backgrounds. Since the internet makes it easy to lie, it's quite difficult to distinguish whether the ad is honest or the truth is being overstated.

This contemporary way of seeing dates has encouraged population from varied cultures to associate with Filipino women. If you are of a different culture or if you speak a different language, you might encounter difficulties whether way. Nonetheless you cannot be wholly discouraged as these are but a few concerns and which easily can be addressed properly. Yes, long length relationships are highly difficult, especially at the beginning, but this is not a think to give up.

But you might be involved about your safety online because as pointed out by investigators, only a few online dating services provide background checks on their daters. Some daters who are sexual abusers use online dating websites to set up their next victims. Issues about genuineness are leading in online dating.

Above all, online dating should be done with caution. These best Filipina dating sites can be fun and inviting sites to hunt for a partner in life.

How To Setup an RC Helicopter

The most important step in flying a R.C. Helicopter is the setup. If your helicopter is not setup right the bird will tip side to side, frontward or backward, or the tail could spin out of control. You can see the importance of a good setup.

1. The first step in setting up a R.C. Helicopter.

· Make sure all servos are moving in the right direction When you move the right side stick right the swash plate will tilt right etc for forward and back.
· Make sure the throttle is correct and the it does not need reversed in the radio also called the TX.

2. Now that the servos are moving in the right direction we need to center the servos.

· Turn on radio then plug in receiver make sure the motor is unplugged if working on electric helicopter.
· Move the throttle stick to half way this get all your servos to the half way position.
· Now we want to find the servo horn that will line up 90 degrees with center keep moving till you find one that is close or dead on make sure to put in the screw when you find the one that works.

3. Next is to level the swash plate you can buy a tool for your size helicopter or you can eyeball it. · To get the swash plate level adjusts the arms that run from the servos to the swash plate.

4. Next we need to make sure the washout block is level.

· The washout block is between the swashplate and the fly bar cage.
· Make sure that both arms are level with each other if not adjust the arm that comes from the fly bar cage until level. · Next we need to make sure the fly bar arms are level
· Make sure the fly bar arms are parallel with each other if not adjust the rod that attaches to the swash plate.

5. Next is to make sure the pitch on the main blades is set.

· When at center stick throttle make sure the main blades are at zero pitch
· Full stick should be between +10 degrees to +12 degrees depending on flying style
· Bottom stick should be -10 degrees to -12 degrees.

Now we have our head setup and ready to go. With everything level and working together we should have a stable flying machine this setup gives up the best chance to get off the ground. This still some things to consider in setup like pitch curves Throttle curves . Radio setup in general but that is a subject by itself.

The tail setup can be tricky sometimes I have found the best way to setup the tail is in rate mode get your servo centered then make sure your rod is adjusted I set my tail with a few degrees pitch on tail pushing the nose right too compensate for the main motor thrust on start up and to hold the nose straight in a hover. That about all the detail I can give not knowing the servo and gyro that is being used.

That all to the basic setup of your helicopter have fun be safe and keep it in the air have a great day!
