With my family in Trieste (2024)
Climbing with my friends in Ailefroide
Here is a collection of interesting books.
In 2023 I bought a very old camper, roughly 30 years old. It took me an infinite amount of time to understand, repair, renew, and install new stuff. In return, it gave me so much fun and exploration. It's powered by a 2.5L TD SOFIM engine from '96: very smoky, but very reliable. I recently installed a 450W solar system + MPPT charger, and at the same time, I renewed the old electrical system. I then installed a new Webasto and a battery monitor. Here is the beast. My vehicle parked in Bosnia.
Good old friends (Mostar)
If you're interested in Diesel heaters as I am, you may have a look at www.letonkinoisvarnish.co.uk. This amazing website is the best reference on Eberspacher diesel heaters. It is managed by Roy Murkin, a retired electronics engineer who knows more than you'll believe about Eberspächers. While digging into and troubleshooting my heater, I got in contact with him and had a very deep and interesting conversation full of tips.
Very happy moments in Norrköping
Kayaking in the archipelago
I became fascinated by this hobby when my dad randomly bought a machine. A metal detector works based on electromagnetic induction. A coil transmits energy (a magnetic field) which makes the electrons in the metal oscillate. As each accelerated charge radiates, some energy is reflected back to the receiver's coil. The machine then senses this reflected wave.
Usually, VDI and depth data are shown. VDI is a number dependent on the metal's nature (technically its conductivity); since the freer the electrons are, the better they oscillate in anti-phase with the transmitting signal. Depth data, I believe, is estimated by the delay in signal reception.
Roman coin I found, ca 300 AD. Depth 3 inches, VDI ca 56.
