09:51 Tom_itx i can spin the blade to get it to go
12:08 Tom_itx 8ga stranded + 8ga stranded = _____ ga ?
12:27 rue_bed 5 gua
12:28 rue_bed double size is -3
13:21 katsmeow-afk i doubt it's a start cap, on a fractional hp fan duty, it's more likely a run cap, it matters which it is
13:25 Tom_itx i will get one tomorrow
13:26 Tom_itx 5mfd
13:27 Tom_itx 300+ v
13:27 katsmeow-afk smells like a run cap, start caps are usually larger ufd
13:27 Tom_itx i agree
13:27 katsmeow-afk start caps blow up if left connected like run caps
13:28 Tom_itx after cleaning and oiling, it's been starting fine
13:28 Tom_itx it was rather dirty
13:29 tsmeow-afk
13:29 Tom_itx i still bet the cap is going bad
13:29 katsmeow-afk "fan-duty" motors have very little start torque, most you can keep from turning over with one hand
13:30 katsmeow-afk that said, never put your hands in a moving fan
13:30 Tom_itx duh
13:31 katsmeow-afk well, i have known many people who didn't realise when they let go of a powered on stopped fan, it's no longer stopped, and will accelerate faster than they can accelerate their paw out from it
13:37 katsmeow-afk i need a welding rod oven, or maybe i keep using a toaster oven
13:52 rue_bed 80A thru 3/16 rod will bake the rod as you weld
13:53 rue_bed or was it 1/8 rod
13:53 rue_bed no smaller
13:53 rue_bed hmm
13:54 rue_bed kat, can you find needle wire on ebay

19:09 rue_shop2 katsmeow-afk, would you like to work with me to design a "little to no machining" steam engine? put all the instructions and specs out there and call it the MeowMohr?
19:10 rue_shop2 maybe gear it to electrical generation?
19:14 rue_house I wonder if I normal sized tire filled with concrete is a good enough flywheel?
19:15 Tom_itx no
19:15 Tom_itx it's gonna be way out of balance
19:16 Tom_itx if it were static and dynamic balanced it would spin alot longer

19:27 rue_house when happens to your tires when you drive 259km/hr?
19:28 rue_house (161 mph)
20:22 katsmeow-afk rue, i have a severely worn out V6 car engine, but has new lower-end bearings (i put them in under 100 miles ago on it), going to see if i can get another set of crank main caps,,
20:23 katsmeow-afk see if i can use the con-rods, crank, and some 6" steel pipe as "steam" engine, using propane as the "steam", because at 200F it's 100's psi more than using water
20:23 katsmeow-afk and propane won't rust the steel
20:56 tsmeow-afk would luv to be able to wirelessly ask the washing machine it's water level, or as the water tanks their level, or ask the livingrm which lites are on, or ask the nukebox if the pizza is done, or

23:27 rue_shop2 how would a person make that into a storage drive
23:32 katsmeow-afk well, if you did plug it into a puter, assign it as a ramdrive in the OS
