In the Thread: We who are about to die... (a cable thread)
Post Subject: Half way.Posted by xandcg on: 4/26/2021
Hello,
I've found this thread yesterday/today late night, skimmed it, and bookmarked to read today, what will just be possible to do a bit later.
Bud's cable seem to be half way of what I have in mind (I' don't remember if he use wax or something but this is not the most important thing now).
From the point of having the cotton sleeve installed, I would try to add a layer of copper or aluminum[1] foil to shield the cable, and later the Teflon or similar mostly to hold everything in place, and also to be safer.
I suppose this construction would retain the characteristic of cotton sleeved cable while still shielding it. What may be problematic (or no) is if everything become to tight and constrain the cotton too much, ruining its characteristics.
The only thing holding me to try it now is the fact I have to leave the home to buy a few things (like some cotton), but I have a catheter in my kidney (no dramatic reasons involved) and I can't do any kind physical exercise until this thing is removed. If I walk more than 100 meters the issues begin...
I could buy on-line but the mail is not delivering[2] anything in my region. There is a huge problem of cargo robbing in `Rio de Janeiro` and they don't want to risk[3], and so we need to go in there to receive anything... fortunately I can get all bills on the internet.
[1] probably everyone have in the kitchen.
[2] Brazil things...
[3] in fact the mail service is likely close to bankrupt, but since it is a public company the thing can be kept on life support for long time.
Thanks!
