which part of NOTICE OF APPEAL and 'hereby appeal' in the text is giving you concern? (link posted above)

 

There is no stay of the judgement yet you are totally misunderstanding the facts of that notice until supersedeas  bond of $450 million is posted they CAN NOT stop the collection of the judgement they are as I said desperately appealing everything 

An appeal with no supersedeas bond is extraordinary unusual because without the bond all the money due will be able to be collected in a little over 4 weeks. The appeal will still be heard but trumps property can be sold.

There are many possible, and frankly ridiculous, appeal briefs that can be posted. But no $450 million supersedeas appeal bond, no stay of collection of the judgement 

tick tick tick, the days are counting down the clock has not been stopped.

a.  The AC with Nike shoe is machine ONE.  

 

b. The video is of vibration from machine on "super" cool.

 

c.  Also, this machine ONE has lower frequency vibration when the fan is running at medium RPM.

 

 

d.  The other video is of machine TWO.

 

 

e.  Now, both machines are located at same site.

 

 

Let me know if you decide to try a fix yourself and I’ll elaborate.

He has 30 days from the Notice of appeal -- 26 FEB 2024 -- to put up cash or a bond or obtain a stay from the Appeals Court.

 

< Trump wasn’t able to appeal the decision immediately because the clerk’s office at Engoron’s courthouse had to file paperwork known as a judgment to make it official. That was done on Friday, starting a 30-day window for Trump to pay up or file an appeal and seek a stay.

 

https://time.com/6835214/donald-trump-appeal-new-york-civil-fraud/

That is exactly what I said. And the title of the post is false. He has not posted the appeal bond. To go to the appeal the judgment he must post an appeal bond of about $480 million that is going to be required within 30~40 days from the judgment being posted.

He is making various attempts to fight the decision and challenge judge Engoron however none of that has stopped the clock. 

He also has to post an appeal bond of about $90 million in the E. Jean Carroll 2 case in about 2 weeks time and the attempt to stop that clock has failed 

The various news articles are confused about titles. There are various appeals most or all are frivolous or stand no chance of success 

However to appeal the judgements he must put in escrow 

E. Jean Carroll 1) over 5 million paid, on appeal 

E. Jean Carroll 2) over 85 million not paid due in about 2 weeks not on appeal yet

Civil fraud case over 450 million not paid due in about 4~6 weeks not on appeal yet

the numbers are about 110% of the judgment amounts

This machine is sold by the same manufacturer of the machine in question, in this Topic.

The machine here in the video is only 6-months old.

A new machine, basically.

 

This manufacturer seems to be providing ACs to the local market with excessive vibration, probably due to problems with the compressor fans.

 

I am no expert.

YOU decide.

 

 

if the video is the extent of the problem the DIY fix is likely to function, be effective and reasonably easy to try.

if it’s the problem I will elaborate.

From now on in, I will have only one refrain, which is....

 

"The compressor fan is not balanced properly."

@GammaGlobulin giving To much information 

“ The AC is not working” or “the AC is about to explode”

You know what the problem is but telling them is not going to help you. They have to realises it themselves and give a solution.

The problem is extreme noise at some fan speeds. They have to solve the problem 

Their solution maybe “replace the complete outside unit”

They probably can’t fix the real problem because they don’t have components. The “fix” may cost 100 x the real fix but that’s their problem not yours.

Thank you.

 

YES, I agree this might very much involve harmonic resonance induced noise/vibration.

 

However, the sound, the "high-pitched" rattling sound, makes me think that there is something more to this than just harmonic vibration, or resonance....

 

Anyway, thank you.

 

If you might have any further thoughts..then...please add if you have time.

 

At this point you have 2 real options.

1 make the instal technician return giving a little information as possible so they can witness the problem, claim that there are more different problems you can’t describe so they must attend. 

2) play around with fan blade weights to change the harmonic

It is absolutely a problem of a harmonic vibration, however just because the fan is producing the vibration does not mean that something else is not responding to the movement of the fan. 
 

The  "high-pitched" rattling sound, is either a loose component or 2 components that are rubbing due to the vibration. The self cure is to discover exactly where the noise originates and put a block or rubber/foam between them. 
 

to locate the sound use a mechanics stethoscope. 
 

Option 1 is preferable

in reality there probably is no real guarantee beyond the “its working” and you are on your own. 
 

Unfortunately you have discovered why buying one of the big names is worth the extra money they cost. 

It is clear from your description that there is a harmonic vibration at certain speeds.  Yes the first step should be the installation company followed by the maker. 
 

Were this an older unit the answer would be different and would involve some or all the following, adding bracing, adding different shock absorbent mounts, tightening all bolts, adding very small weights (many higher end fans come with these) on to the blades to move the harmonic, adding rubber sheet to the casing, moving the outdoor unit in relation to the wall. etc. 

As to the cause it’s difficult to be sure as the drive is to reduce energy use and what you consider to be cheaping out on materials is not doing that but saving energy. The fan may well be faulty as for sure the original design will not have had this problem.

FWIW while HVAC people may have a good understanding, it’s a fluid dynamic problem

Well, another dilute raving on.

One thing many LED fittings will not sustain is reduced mains voltage levels.

There are dimmable LED fittings out there but the technology behind the dimming process is not just wack a cap in series and close the cover.

If it were that simple, manufacturers would have been all over it years ago.

Best thing the Op can do is post on "instructables" where the rest of many wakkos reside.

So you don’t know the difference between constant current drivers and constant voltage drivers?

It is certainly possible that the land down under has regulations that make that knowledge redundant, but since we are not governed by those idiosyncratic rules we can have a more flexible approach. 😜

Beers are not cheaper in Japan. That is just a crazy comment based on probably one place you went to. Also comparing Japan to Thailand as you have about four times on this thread is like comparing apples and kangaroos. 

Having lived in Japan for a third of my life I can comment with authority. When I first lived there the difference in general was that Japan was 8 to 10 time more expensive. However the relative cost of beer in Japan was that a bottle of beer (larger than in Thailand by 10%) cost about 20 minutes work. The smaller (but still large bottle) in Thailand cost about 3 hours work, these are all takeout prices.

So in absolute terms beer in Japan is more expensive. In relative terms beer in Thailand costs more than 10 times the price in Japan 

FWIW there has been zero to negative inflation in Japan for about 30 years so now Thailand is around ½ the Japanese costs

I am sure you know that capacitors come in all sizes and types and voltages.

If people know what they are doing, then there is no problem.

If you follow the pictures and caveat. then there are no problem

if however you decide to use the kinds of recycled versions then you either know what you are doing, get lucky or are aiming to win a Darwin Award 

The general guide is that small capacitors are like small cats, they may bite but don’t do anything more than that. The bigger the capacitor the bigger the bite, big fan starter and motor starter capacitors are designed to kick a large inertial load into motion so short them out or get a rather significant understanding of the power they contain

Then put the a/c on HUMIDITY, no temperature shows.

I tried it in my case, but very small reduction in power consumption, the compressor is still running.

Not all AC units work as yours. A couple of mine don’t show a temperature in humidity control mode, another does so, QED I can set a higher than ambient temperature in humidity mode

Do you really need to ask?

 

 

You clearly don’t have an answer as the tingle from the type of capacitor suggested (which will not happen if you short it out) is far less than from the mains

If you are going to repurpose a capacitor from an old TV or microwave then you have to know what you are doing as they can kill

Yes.

And, there are several very good YT videos about how to do this, one good series is put out by some guy from Scotland, I think.

He is very qualified.

 

 

He is actually living on the isle of Mann and was the inspiration for the modification, however the rather long instructional video is lost in the annals of time.

I have never seen another but if you have links I would appreciate them.

the reason was for the people who know how to avoid the bites from electricity to have an easy cheap way to have fun.

I deliberately did not include instructions for those who are not already conversant with power but may not have an electronics background. 
 

I have also had this light on for months

No point in trying to rewire the garbage from Lazada.

Just not worth the time.

A point is that there is no rewireing of the light it’s in the fitting

Assuming he's not paying for neighbours usage, the aircon units might be malfunctioning. They could be low on gas with the compressors on full-time. This could easily account for a 7500 baht bill.

While that is a possibility, don’t forget that the unit is virtually new.

Electricity can bite, it can bite badly

if you don’t know what you are doing, don’t do it

There is far too much nanny going on. In Thailand there a vanishing few electricians, the method above can multiply the life of lights to decades, it reduces the power requirements by up to a factor of ten.

Are you sure it's a good idea to publish something like this here?

Thinks can go wrong. Very wrong!

 

I think for people who are not used to playing around with electricity, it's best to buy quality products from brand name companies - with warranty.

Yes I am sure “for those who are moderately confident and competent with plugging wire A into socket B it is simple reasonably easy, and totally reversible”

and if you are moderately competent you know how to test you setup before installing it. I would like to know how it can go badly wrong? 
 

this is not for

people who are not used to playing around with electricity,

it is for those who, as I said are moderately confident and competent with plugging wire A into socket B  

if you are not then don’t do it, simple.

you can just plug the capacitor legs into the blue and brown in your picture

I don't follow. If I atrach these wires to the fitting how can I also attach the power wires? 

Use 2 of these or something similar 

colour code 

red power from the switch 

blue power to the light

white one leg of the capacitor 

I can’t immediately find my capacitors so you must use imagination 

you can use the Thai system of twisting all 3 wires together 

Going on from @sandyfs problems with the LEDs burning out quickly. 

This is not a sure fire way for all LEDs but for those who are moderately confident and competent with plugging wire A into socket B it is simple reasonably easy, and totally reversible.

warning anyone following the instructions takes total personal responsibility.

This doesn’t mean that there is much/any significant chance of failure or accidents but electricity and capacitors do bite as @Crossy said

requirements

a series of capacitors in a variety of powers (thanks @Crossy for the picture under)

a lamp holder or several 

several quick connect fittings 

a verity of lights that are at least 2 to 4 times the required brightness 

(I used  27W light from China) you need several as the modification will not function with all drivers so just swap them until one works

the instructions 

connect the power feed to 1 of your lamp holders feed wires

connect the other power feed wire to one of the legs of 1 of your capacitors 

connect the other leg of the capacitor to the other lamp holder wire

insert the bulb into the holder

switch on the light

possible Results 

the light doesn’t turn on; troubleshooting; 1) swap the power legs 2) swap the bulb 3) change the capacitor value 4) confirm that the bulb still functions in an unmodified fitting

the light turns on full brightness; troubleshooting; 1) swap the bulb until you find one that turns on dimmer 2) change the capacitor value

the light turns on lower brightness but is too bright or too dim; troubleshooting; 1) change the capacitor value

the above tutorial too much longer to write than to do

here is the light mentioned above, it would be way to bright for the location, it runs cold or barely warm, it uses less power, it has been in use for about 5 years it is around ⅓ power

the fittings, I will put them into the ceiling sometime 

the qr fittings
