Testing the Rain Barrel Water Pump with a Ryobi 18v Battery

I upgraded out under sink filtration system to a reverse osmosis tank based one recently. But the reverse osmosis systems put out brine water; clean but not drinkable and a terrible waste down the drain.

So at Rushna’s suggestion, I bought a 50 gallon rain barrel so that I can keep the brine water for gardening purposes. But of course with city water pressure running at 80 psi and the rain barrel having none I knew it was time to get creative.

I went to harbor freight and bought a cheap $30 12v DC water pump with garden hose connectors.

I didn’t want to deal with AC and I have these 18v ryobi batteries that I use for all my tools. They’re versatile and useful in other areas. I’m already using two of them in series to run my crappy old 24v sealed lead acid lawnmower at 36v; more power. I decided I’d use one of them for the water pump.

I also wanted to have a remote on / off switch so I found this cheap 12v car alarm relay that will let me turn the water pump on and off from distance in the garden.

While the water pump will run at 18v, albeit it very fast, I was nervous that the 12v car alarm relay would be more sensitive to higher voltage, so I also got this cheap 12v voltage regulator.

I haven’t had a fun exciting electronics project in a while so I hope it all works out and doesn’t blow up in my face.

“We pay officers of the law to, simply, enforce…

"We pay officers of the law to, simply, enforce...

“We pay officers of the law to, simply, enforce the law. Nothing less. Nothing more. And that’s precisely what they do. They enforce the law. At every chance they get.”

“Whether it’s another man accosted and killed for selling cigarettes on the sidewalk (Garner), or another accosted and killed for selling CDs and reportedly having a gun (Sterling), or yet another accosted for a broken tail-light and killed for… what exactly, I’m not sure (Castile).”

“The officers risk life and limb not to keep citizens safe, or protect their lives, liberty or property. Officers risk their lives to enforce the law.”

“Police are not paid to be moralizers. They’re not paid to step up on a soapbox and pound their fists at the nation’s injustices. They are paid, simply, to make sure citizens conform to what the law says. They are paid to get citizens to “stop resisting” the long arms of lawmakers. And that’s what they do.”

“The lawmakers, of course, are more than happy to oblige our desires to control one another’s actions through the creation of new laws. New laws legitimize the lawmakers and make them feel important. Plus, unlike us plebeians, the lawmakers are normally immune to the blowback of the laws they create. So, for them, it’s a positive-sum game.”

“Even if the cop is a crook, dangerous, or mentally unstable, he is empowered by the laws we beg our lawmakers to make. Our only “proper” role in this relationship is not to resist.”

“So let’s remove the burden from the police and the impositions on the populace at the same time by repealing all laws that do not explicitly defend life and property.”

‘We Expect Too Much of the Police’

Obama says we expect too much of the police. He’s right. But not in the way he means…

Baton Rogue police trespass onto private property to arrest protesters ..

I’m sure they had a warrant ..

The more laws you want, the more regulations you…

The more laws you want, the more regulations you want, the more government you want, the more you will need police officers for enforcement. Laws need enforcing. It’s not complicated.

There is absolutely no reason why the police should be involved in non violent offenses; traffic violations, drug possessions, prostitution, selling of goods without a valid permit, enforcement of gun laws, etc.

Police should only be involved in violent crimes, theft, assault, battery, rape, murder, etc., or when called by a citizen.

You’ve given them absolute power over just about every aspect of your lives and you wonder why they act like they own you?

We need less laws and less regulations.

You can not retrain authoritarians to be humble. You’re living in a fairy tale if that is what you think.

You have a better chance of getting Hillary Clinton to admit that she’s a criminal.
