    I'm with you in liking the old manual vs the digital (irreprarable) type timer. // You will get a different mR reading on every tester every time you test (the same) battery. Trust not!

    You think they would make a water motor in it so it charges from the water coming through it

    Just received battery tester, you "secret " menu proved helpful

    hi wats the 3 items with flashing lights and rusty connectors 1 wire looks broken

    That's a bloody old tap

    You need kelvin (4 wire) fro proper impedance (resistance) measurement using current versus delta V.

    In case anyone is still wondering, pipes are always measured by inner diameter because the inner diameter determines maximum flow rate, which is important for fitting pipes to their use. (e.g. You need a 1.5-2.5 gallon/minute, or ~7.5 litres/minute, flow rate to supply a fairly normal showerhead.) The thickness of the pipe wall is important for pressure limits. (e.g. A 1 inch copper pipe can handle between 85 and 500 psi depending on joining material and technique.) The outer diameter is only really important for determining how big of a hole you have to drill to run it through a wall and you can have very wide margins of error in that with little consequence. As such the pipe is always measured by the two more important numbers.

    Pipes are measured in NB(nominal bore), and don't really relate to the thread diameter. I hated that system because pipes weren't the same dia as in drawings when I used to work on oil refinery piping. You should look up US NPT, because 1/16NPT(1.6mm NB) is 8mm OD.

    super, i will you subscribe

    Garden hose timer isn't easy to find something cheap but good .I have a Galcon 7001-D 10 year now , all this years is out and still is ok . For the record some electric valve with arduino maybe is a good solution (you can leave only one cable and the control unit take place away for the valve
    )

    The sizes are in B.S.P.

    Hey Julian, I really like the content on your channel but… I don't understand WHY do you keep filming your screen with a camera? It is really horrible to watch. If you can figure out how to use an arduino you should be able to figure out how to install a screen recording software on your computer and if your computer isn't from the stone age it should handle it fine.. just a small tip to massively improve your production quality…
