The Dollhouse

Alright, I think it’s time I finally posted about my pride and joy somewhere: my dollhouse.

So, this started when I wanted to build a dollhouse for all the mini stuff I like making and collecting, and I just went out, bought some bits of lumber, and did my best. I worked in a makerspace for a bit and thought it would be fun to add lights, so someone helped me wire lights and switches into it. I eventually started over from scratch but here’s a photo of the original dollhouse. I don’t have a better photo right now unfortunately.

I started from scratch to make the rooms a little bigger and fix some design issues I had with the first one.

Still a little uneven but I love it. I had plans to cut out the back panel with a CNC router, but the makerspace I was working in died during Covid :/

If you look into that green room on the second floor you’ll see the entertainment center. 

It’s a 5-inch HMDI screen meant for a Raspberry Pi that’s currently rigged up to a DVD player and a Wii that are in a compartment under the house.

The Wii is fully playable! I installed two infrared LEDs into the entertainment center in place of a sensor bar and it works well. There are speakers in the bottom two corners of the entertainment center with a volume control on the side of the house.

This isn’t quite finished yet, but the house does in theory also have plumbing. I used aquarium tubing and valves for pipes and a desktop water fountain pump to push water through them. There’s a tank of water made from an old plastic tub of peanuts in the compartment under the house. I can’t really figure out a good way to show this but I can post the bathroom shower.

Penny for scale! I’m also trying to figure out how to install one of those face mister things into the floor of the shower to make it look like steam.

Future plans include a fridge that lights up when the door is open, a stove/oven with lights in the burners, a microwave that spins, and a doorbell.

This is just my special project and nobody ever sees it because I can’t fit it in my little car and it doesn’t really leave my room so I was hoping to show anyone who wants to see here. <3

My favorite chemical test is the flame test because if it’s not sodium, there’s a chance of a really cool flame!

Potassium is a nice violet. I believe strontium burns a nice, lightsaber red. Lithium also burns red but if I remember right it is a pinker shade of red. Copper is green and so is barium. I believe that they’re different shades. Sodium burns orange, which is why I find it boring.

It’s all because of the electrons of these metals! They jump up to the first excited state because of the heat from the Bunsen burner’s flame, and then they drop back down to the ground state. To drop down, they release energy as a form of light and that’s what we see in the form of flame color. The color variation is because different metals have different energy differences between their ground and excited states, and the energy of the photon is indirectly proportional to the wavelength, which determines color. Colors on the (ROYGBIV) visible light spectrum that are closer to red light end of the spectrum have lower energy and longer wavelengths than a color closer to the violet light end of the spectrum, which has higher energy but smaller wavelengths.

If I recall correctly, molecules can rotate and even change their polarization because of microwave and infrared light, but it’s not until visible light and beyond that their electrons can reach excited states. I believe that the particle nature of electrons, (like light, electrons are both particles and waves), is what makes it stepwise, not a smooth upturn for absorbing energy. I should be in bed asleep for work but here I am geeking out. The stepwise versus smooth absorption is something you learn in general chemistry so I should know it but I tired, ok?

Infratech Electric Heaters

Infratech Electric Patio Heaters - Cocktails under the stars. Now there is an eco-friendly way to turn up the ambience with Infratech Electric Patio Heaters. These low-profile electric patio heaters coordinate with many decor styles, and offer silent operation and superior performance compared to gas, with no harmful emissions or odors. Infratech electric patio heaters are over 90% energy efficient, UL listed for outdoor and indoor use and are easy and inexpensive to operate.

What to Consider

Power Source

Most patio heaters are either gas-powered (propane or natural) or electric. Both types emit infrared energy. Unlike a space heater, which blows air across a hot electric coil to warm the air, a patio heater projects an infrared beam that travels through the air without heating it. When the infrared energy strikes a solid object like a person or furnishings, the beam converts to heat.

Propane

A propane patio heater is more portable, and oftentimes comes with a wheeled base so you to easily move around your deck or patio depending on the wind or seating situation. Gas is also typically cheaper than electric, so the overall cost to run is typically less.

Unfortunately, the flame of a gas patio heater can be blown out by the wind, meaning you’ll have to restart everything to keep the heat going. These types of heaters also require more regular cleaning, because bugs and debris may affect the burner and burner screen. You also have to get the propane tanks refilled if they run out.

Natural Gas

Natural gas patio heaters are essentially the same as propane gas models, but they are less expensive to operate, and don’t require refills since gas is piped into it (similar to a home furnace). But like other patio heaters, keeping the appliance in a fixed location may affect the heating capability.

Electric

Since electric power heaters don’t require propane or a flame to run, then they can’t be blown out by the gusts of wind, and are generally the most convenient to use. They also don’t require a lot of maintenance, besides clearing off pesky cobwebs or bug webs in the off season. A permanently installed structure could potentially contribute to resale value, too. However, you’d likely be faced with permit requirements, and eating the cost of electrical work by a professional if anything goes awry.

Electric models can also be more expensive to operate, and keeping the heater in a fixed location might not be the most ideal for the seating arrangement.

Pellet

Pellet patio heaters aren’t the most commonly used, but they may be ideal depending on your exact needs. These models use compressed wood as their fuel source, and have a combustion chamber where the pellets are burned to produce heat. Pellet heaters are generally a more sustainable and eco-friendly option, because they use a renewable fuel source and release fewer emissions.

They also efficiently produce heat with less waste, and pellets are often cheaper and more consistent in price. However, you’ll have to have a supply of pellets on hand, and access to a reliable power source to operate the ignition system.

Heat Output

One of the most important factors to consider is how much heat you’ll get from your patio heater. The output is measured in BTUs. To put it simply, the more BTUs you have heading at you, the warmer you feel. A decent-sized patio heater usually produces between 30,000 and 50,000 BTUs per hour. Several models on our list emit over 40,000 BTUs, making them ideal options for keeping larger yards and outdoor spaces warm.

It’s important to remember that depending on whether the appliance is gas or electric, then the heat output and longevity varies. Gas patio heaters might not last as long, but they generate more heat. Electric patio heaters typically have a longer lifespan, and might be a more energy-efficient choice. If you plan to spend several hours outside, opt for an electric model. If you’re just heading to the backyard for a quick hang out, then a gas heater might be the way to go.

Range

To get the best performance out of your patio heater, think about its BTU rating in relation to the size of your outdoor space, as well as the climate. If you live in an area with bone-chilling temperatures, you might benefit from an appliance that has a high BTU output and a wide coverage area, or invest in multiple units. If you’re just trying to keep things reasonably toasty on your patio, then a model with mid-range coverage can suffice.

How to Choose the Right Portable Cooktop for Your Cooking Needs: A Complete Guide

Portable cooktops have become increasingly popular due to their versatility, convenience, and space-saving features. Whether you need an additional cooking station for your kitchen, are outfitting a small apartment, or enjoy camping and outdoor cooking, a portable cooktop offers the flexibility to cook anywhere. But with so many models available, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. This guide will help you navigate the key factors to consider when selecting the best portable cooktop for your cooking needs.

 1. Determine Your Cooking Requirements

The first step in choosing the right portable cooktop is to assess your specific cooking needs. Think about how and where you’ll be using it:

- Indoor or Outdoor Use: If you’re planning to use the cooktop mainly outdoors, you might want a model that can handle varying weather conditions and rugged environments. For indoor use, look for one that fits seamlessly into your kitchen or home setup.

- Types of Cooking: Do you need a cooktop for basic heating tasks like boiling water and frying, or are you planning on preparing more elaborate meals? Understanding the types of cooking you’ll be doing will help determine whether you need a single or double burner and the cooktop’s power capacity.

By clarifying these needs, you can narrow down your options to a cooktop that meets your expectations.

 2. Choose Between Induction, Electric, or Gas Cooktops

Portable cooktops come in three main types: induction, electric, and gas. Each type has its own advantages and potential drawbacks depending on your cooking style and setup.

- Induction Cooktops: Induction cooktops use electromagnetic energy to heat the cookware directly, offering quick heat-up times, energy efficiency, and precise temperature control. However, induction requires compatible cookware, such as those with a magnetic base like cast iron or stainless steel.

- Electric Cooktops: These models use electric coils or infrared technology to heat the surface, which then transfers heat to your cookware. Electric cooktops are easy to use, widely available, and don’t require specialized pots and pans. However, they tend to heat up and cool down slower than induction models.

- Gas Cooktops: Portable gas cooktops run on propane or butane canisters, making them ideal for outdoor and camping use. Gas cooktops provide consistent heat, are not limited by power outlets, and are compatible with most types of cookware. However, they require ventilation when used indoors.

Each type offers distinct benefits depending on where you plan to cook and your preference for speed, power, and ease of use.

 3. Evaluate Power and Temperature Control

A cooktop’s power is typically measured in watts (for induction and electric) or BTUs (for gas). This determines how quickly it heats up and how efficiently it cooks.

- Induction and Electric: Most portable induction cooktops offer wattage between 1000-1800 watts, while electric models can range from 750 to 1500 watts. Higher wattage means faster heating but may also consume more energy.

- Gas: The BTU rating of a gas cooktop ranges from around 7,000 to 12,000 BTUs, depending on the model. Higher BTUs offer more heat, making them suitable for high-heat cooking like searing and frying.

In addition to power, check the precision of temperature control. Some models offer simple low, medium, and high settings, while others provide more granular temperature adjustments with digital controls for better precision in cooking.

 4. Consider Portability and Size

The portability of the cooktop is a crucial factor, especially if you plan to move it around frequently or travel with it. Here’s what to consider:

- Size: Portable cooktops come in single- and double-burner models. A single-burner cooktop is more compact and lightweight, perfect for camping trips or small kitchens. A double-burner model offers more cooking flexibility but may take up more space and weigh more, making it less portable.

- Weight: Choose a model that’s easy to carry if portability is a top priority. If you’re using the cooktop for outdoor activities like camping, consider a lightweight option with a carry handle or compact design.

The key is finding the balance between portability and cooking capacity to suit your lifestyle and available space.

 5. Look for Safety Features

Safety is always a critical consideration when choosing any kitchen appliance, especially a portable cooktop. Modern cooktops are equipped with various safety features, including:

- Overheat Protection: Automatically shuts off the cooktop when it overheats to prevent accidents.

- Auto-Pan Detection (Induction Cooktops): Turns off the heating element if no cookware is detected or if an incompatible pot is used.

- Child Lock: Prevents accidental changes to settings, ensuring safety in households with children.

- Cool-to-Touch Surface (Induction): Induction cooktops remain cool to the touch, reducing the risk of burns.

Make sure your portable cooktop has the necessary safety features to ensure peace of mind during use.

 6. Check for Durability and Build Quality

Since portable cooktops are moved around more than traditional stovetops, they need to be durable enough to withstand frequent transportation. Look for models built with sturdy materials like high-quality glass, stainless steel, or ceramic surfaces.

Pay attention to the quality of the control knobs or touch panel as well. A reliable cooktop should have controls that are intuitive, responsive, and built to last.

 7. Additional Features and Smart Technology

Some portable cooktops come with extra features to enhance your cooking experience:

- Timers: Convenient for precise cooking, allowing you to set cooking times and avoid overcooking.

- Pre-set Cooking Functions: Induction cooktops may offer pre-set modes for boiling, simmering, frying, or keeping food warm, making them user-friendly for various cooking tasks.

- Smart Technology: Some advanced models can connect to your smartphone, providing remote control, temperature monitoring, and even cooking tips.

While not essential for everyone, these added features can simplify cooking and make your experience more enjoyable.

 8. Budget and Price Range

Portable cooktops come in a wide range of prices depending on the type, brand, and features. Induction cooktops tend to be more expensive due to their advanced technology, ranging from $50 for basic models to $300 or more for high-end options with smart features. Electric cooktops are generally more affordable, with prices starting around $30, while gas models range from $20 to $150 depending on size and power.

Consider your budget but also factor in the cooktop’s durability, efficiency, and additional features when making your decision. Choosing a reliable brand ensures better longevity and fewer issues over time.

 Conclusion

Selecting the right portable cooktop for your cooking needs requires careful consideration of factors such as cooking style, power, size, safety features, and budget. Whether you opt for an induction, electric, or gas model, understanding these key aspects will help you make an informed choice. With the right portable cooktop, you can enjoy the convenience of cooking wherever you need—whether it’s at home, on the go, or outdoors.
