20:42 rue_house rear right was cracked, noticed when washing once upon a time
20:42 rue_house yea :)
20:42 Tom_itx we been about that gen muffler before
20:42 rue_house ~$30

20:42 Tom_itx got my router all set up
20:42 Tom_itx mostly
20:42 rue_house yea
20:43 rue_house its passing web traffic without attitude?
20:43 Tom_itx alot quicker
20:43 rue_house cool
20:43 Tom_itx i get a new switch and i'll have gbit inside
20:44 Tom_itx still using my old 24port 100mhz one
20:44 rue_house I have to make a torque measuring mount for a motor and come up with a drag system
20:44 rue_house any of your machines have gbit?
20:44 Tom_itx at least one
20:44 rue_house heh
20:44 Tom_itx i haven't tried the linux box
20:44 Tom_itx some cards are but i've never had it so i dunno which ones
20:45 any06240671 http://designerthinking.com/WchairSides.html
20:45 rue_house I found some gbit switches for the place, I can do transfers of movies from the roommates machine real fast,
20:45 rue_house kat!
20:45 rue_house damn
20:45 Tom_itx here and gone
20:45 Tom_itx i can get one local for $75 but it's only 8 port
20:46 Tom_itx it would be enough because some won't ever be gbit
20:46 rue_house yea, the prices are crazy
20:46 Tom_itx and i still have the good 100mhz 24
20:46 rue_house nice edging kat
20:46 Tom_itx the wifi is awesome now too
20:46 Tom_itx i don't use it but they do
20:46 Tom_itx it's as quick as my wired used to be
20:47 Tom_itx i had it on a bad switch and it wasn't working as well as it should have
20:47 Tom_itx i just chocked it up to wifi
20:47 rue_house heh
20:47 rue_house ugh, I have to clean up the shop for robotics
20:48 rue_house and watch the cats
20:48 Tom_itx you still got kids comin over?
20:48 rue_house or take a nap
20:48 rue_house yea, gettin older
20:48 rue_house have a young apprentice at work comming in now too
20:48 Tom_itx what's that kat made?
20:49 rue_house wheelchair sides
20:49 Tom_itx ahh
20:49 Tom_itx didn't bother to read
20:49 rue_house she didn't say why she made them
20:50 Tom_itx i didn't ask
20:50 rue_house so I'm trying my luck with "alibaba express"
20:50 Tom_itx they're a broker
20:50 rue_house they have some things not found on ebay
20:50 Tom_itx it's hit and miss
20:50 rue_house yea
20:51 Tom_itx what you lookin for?
20:51 rue_house hmm, another ambulance racing off to the camp down the road...
20:51 rue_house heh 80hp motor for my truck for under $2000
20:51 rue_house electric
20:51 rue_house under 120A
20:52 Tom_itx it won't be 80hp coming from china
20:52 rue_house 25 1600W vacuum cleaner motors
20:52 rue_house still searching for hardware to gang them up
20:52 rue_house er 35 sorry
20:54 rue_house http://www.aliexpress.com/item/KV3800-6V-15V-Brushless-Motor-Model-airplane-For-450-RC-Helicopter-Hobbies-ESC/654843466.html
20:54 rue_house 133x of those is the next most expensive option
20:54 Tom_itx short lived
20:54 rue_house dont pull 80hp for long or often
20:54 Tom_itx too much loss in transmission
20:54 rue_house I been gathering numbers
20:55 rue_house driving takes baout 133whatt-hours / km
20:55 rue_house watt-hours
20:55 rue_house I'm looking at using gear belts
20:57 Tom_itx you got a tranny for it didn't you?
20:57 Tom_itx or did you just get a whole truck
20:57 rue_house just engine is missing
20:57 rue_house with everything that was attached to it
20:57 rue_house like the STEERING PUMP
20:57 rue_house }:/
20:58 rue_house the airplane motors may not work out anyhow, they have a min. rpm
20:58 rue_house and the controllers do funny things like a startup sound
20:58 Tom_itx they jack the timing up on those
20:58 rue_house and then they beep till they are initialized with the remote
20:58 rue_house jack the timing?
20:59 Tom_itx yes
20:59 Tom_itx advance the brushes
20:59 rue_house on the airplane motors?
20:59 rue_house ah
20:59 Tom_itx makes em run hotter too
20:59 rue_house point being, they have a min speed
20:59 Tom_itx not really reversable either
20:59 rue_house no, but, transmisison
21:00 rue_house at the rate they stop when you pull power I think they have diodes to kickback to the supply, "regenerative braking"
21:00 Tom_itx this router also has a linux like cmd line interface
21:01 rue_house which is someting that would be a challange with the vac motors
21:01 rue_house yup
21:01 Tom_itx find a load of wheelchair motors
21:01 rue_house they are only 2hp,
21:01 rue_house at best
21:01 Tom_itx or exercise stuff
21:01 rue_house some are like 500W
21:01 rue_house 40 of them would be crazy heavy
21:02 rue_house its much more reasonable to go with soemthing doing 30k rpm
21:02 rue_house smaller, less stress
21:02 rue_house 6:1 to transmission
21:02 Tom_itx how would you run an app from within the router if you could load it?
21:02 rue_house maybe 5:1 6:1 generates 200foot-lbs
21:02 rue_house just run it command line
21:02 rue_house if there is a shell
21:02 Tom_itx like putting my site on it
21:03 rue_house its probably arm, so compiling would be an issue
21:03 Tom_itx http://wiki.ubnt.com/Add_Other_Debian_Packages_to_EdgeOS
21:03 rue_house I still suggest a full PC
21:04 Tom_itx i'm just exploring the possibilities of this
21:04 rue_house at some point ram or disk space will be an issue
21:04 rue_house ok I need to go out and chase the cyotes away from my cats!
21:10 Tom_itx http://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeMAX/EdgeMAX-Lite-Expand-flash-memory/td-p/508921
21:10 Tom_itx storage shouldn't be an issue
21:30 any06240671 i can't imagine why it costs rue so much to get packages sent across this lil mowed stripe thru the woods: http://i.imgur.com/SKQlylQ.jpg
