Afraid not and no one is close yet so maybe I should just say, then again maybe I shouldn't

80A 12V Power supply, from an old server HP PSU.
Today I more-or-less finished this off, except for a few cable ties and locking the PSU in place, which I'll do tomorrow. There's a 63A DC breaker, as I couldn't find anything bigger. Even so, 63A is more than enough.
It works, Igor
(Except for the slightly noisy fan bearings, which were silent last time I plugged in the unit to test it)

Ha ha, nope.
To save the post getting cluttered I will say. It is for my step brother who is disabled and as he is getting older he is finding it harder to get his leg in to his car. He will hook one end over his foot and help his leg in then store it down the side of his seat, the handle, not his leg

Damn, I should have thought of that. One time, when I'd had a major smash, I had to use an up-ended crutch to do similar with my left leg when getting into the passenger side.

He was given a strap from, I suppose, the NHS to throw over his foot to help but, at the risk of the PC Police hauling me up I will say what we say up this way, he has a shot like a lassie, and kept missing.

Today I made...my washing machine spin fast 
Sick and tired of yet another basketful of very wet clothes , together with the onset of cold weather, finally prompted me to try to fix my washing machine that's been playing up for months.
The beast in question is probably 15 years old and was my mum's. A Tricity Bendix Advanced Eco AW1000W.
Googling didn't help so I just dived in
Swapped a capacitor that was reading low
No change. Took out the only other two, which were electrolytics, and found another reading 36μF instead of 47μF.
I didn't have a replacement to hand but did have a 10μF which I paralleled with the suspect one
and lo, it now works 
Replacement part on order with a couple of spares for stock. Feeling very pleased with myself.

It is easy to understand, you don't touch it or it hurts (or worse) that is all you need to know

It's not all rocket magic. Mind you, I've been playing with it for nigh on 60 years
