My Noisy Midea Refrigerator
.... so it turns out that when I made this video public, Midea decided that it was a problem and I had someone come out. Turns out that there was ice on the cooling coils that the fan was hitting. You can take off the back panel in the top freezer part and see the ice built up on the cooling pipes. For me the problem was that the door wasn't sealing well enough and air was leaking in and condensing and freezing on the pipes. I cleaned the door seals, and now it works OK.
Original statement follows:
I just bought this new Midea Refrigerator. It is noisy, but not all the time. I thought the compressor was making the noise. But because I can hear it sometimes properly functioning, I am sure it should not be making the noise it does most of the time. I've sent them videos of the noise, but they claim this is normal. So, I am making this video comparing the times when it is properly functioning to when it makes noise. Consider if you want this noise in your kitchen.

We thermally attached a 5 kg aluminium puck to the bottom of an iron pot, heated it with 225 W for about 4.5 hours and then boiled a kg of water in a short time... delivering about 7.5 kW of thermal power

Annapurna Household Appliances PVT. LTD.

    Are there any commercially available products that do this? (I know there are solar ovens, but this is completely different) I'm not a DIY'er, but love the concept. I'm hoping a few years after this video was made, maybe someone makes these and sells them.

      Turns out that there is ice that is hitting the fan (for me). You can take off the back panel in the top freezer part and see the ice built up on the cooling pipes. For me the problem was that the door wasn't sealing well enough and air was leaking in and condensing and freezing on the pipes. I cleaned the door seals, and now it works OK.

    I just figured out why I couldn't understand physics in grade school! The "symbolism"! The using of words and symbols that lack meaning to the observer and listener! I became aware of it at the point you wrote "dL" on the board, I got hung up on trying to figure out what you meant by that and stopped paying attention, just long enough to not understand the next point, which was "dt" which then I feel behind again trying to understand that, by then you had moved on and completely lost me! And that is what happened in the classroom! But, it could not be watched over!!

    This is a very fascinating concept you are working with... I have the book from LEF with ideas on building these and have been watching a bunch of your videos. Super compelling and I plan to make one this winter. I'm a bit confused how you get 7.5kW of thermal power from 225W for 4.5 hours... Wouldn't that yield around 1 kW of power? I'm excited to learn more!

    At 2:52 you say the particle only has potential energy at the bottom. I'm pretty sure that's not correct: At the bottom (and the top) the string is unstretched (so no elastic PE) and the string is not moving (so no KE) so the total energy at these points is zero. The energy in the intermediate points is non-zero being max half way up for the same reasons. I've seen other physics tutors on CZcams make this same mistake. One thing I never see reconciled is why, even though each particle is undergoing SHM (which for a single particle has constant total energy), we nevertheless get a transfer of energy along the wave. Could you explain that.

    So question.. In a perfect world the pedal force would be constant around all 360 degrees of the pedal stroke. But in reality it's not. We apply more force from 2:00 to 4:00, than from 11:00 to 1:00 and so on. Would this be why I ALWAYS prefer the big crank ring over small even at exactly the same gear ratios? For example (crank-to-cassette, 2.00 ratio): 54t/27t is preferred over 42t/21t. Why is this?

    this could even be used for space heating and easily because all you need is 2 wires ported into the structure where as using a solar heater requires some ducting or plumbing and pumps fans etc, also temp controller all that costs money and adds complexity. with this you can heat the storage up, it can operate as long as the solar is working and then when you get home all you need is a fan maybe to distribute heat, or just open the lid to release heat...it wouldn't heat a big space (it could if your system is big enough) but it could be enough to make a difference in power consumption without a huge upfront cost. this is great. great work.

    Not sure if you are a faculty member in Phyiscs (as you spelled it). If you are, please consult with the English Department for some spelling help. Trespassing into a field outside Phyiscs (i.e., foundation repair and structural engineering) may get you in trouble with local and state agencies. In addition, it is always helpful to consult with experts in the field. Imagine a transistor radio enthusiast venturing into the Theory of Relativity!
