02:18 katsmeow-afk if you need a metal box and a cavity magnetron, and a 2kv transformer, and some otehr bits and pieces, Walmart has nukeboxes on sale atm for $59
02:18 katsmeow-afk the wheeled robot dog is in good supply now too
03:39 katsmeow-afk can you program VLSI VL82C595AFC2 ?
04:12 Lola8088 Oh I didn't work it out, I outsorced.
04:13 m_itx wonders who else is up this time of
04:33 tsmeow-afk passes the pepto to
05:14 katsmeow-afk http://www.salon.com/2013/11/17/why_we_love_androids_on_tv/
09:02 rue_house Lola8088, shall I give you the answer?
17:40 katsmeow-afk ok, 1hp = 2545 btu/hr
17:40 katsmeow-afk gasoline = 114,000 btu/gallon
17:41 katsmeow-afk so 100hp = 254,500 btu - hr
17:41 katsmeow-afk 254,500 btu = 2.2 gallons of gasoline
17:42 katsmeow-afk hence, i can run a 100hp engine full load for an hour on only 2.2 gallons of gasoline ?!?!?
17:57 katsmeow-afk posted 08-04-2003 04:43 PM ET (US) Profile for Barryc Send Email to Barryc I also have a 50 HP Johnson (1996 2 stroke/3 Cyl)- on my 1997 15' Dauntless. I can go 3 1/2 - 4 hours on a 6.6 gal tank
17:57 katsmeow-afk I spend most on the time crusing @ 3600-4000 RPM (around 22 MPH)- which is very easy on the motor and me ( WOT is 5600
17:59 katsmeow-afk so he is under half power (his 50hp), so full 50hp would be <2 hours per 6.6 gal, so 100hp would be <1 hour on 6.6 gallons
18:07 katsmeow-afk 0.5 X 50 lbs. = 25 lbs. of fuel each hour.
18:07 katsmeow-afk Gasoline weighs about 6-lbs./gallon so you will burn about
18:07 katsmeow-afk 25/6 = 4.16 gallons each hour when operating at 50-HP.
18:07 katsmeow-afk If 50-HP makes your boat go 25-Miles an Hour, you will have a fuel economy of about
18:07 katsmeow-afk 25 / 4.16 = 6 MPG
18:07 katsmeow-afk That is probably a generous figure. Your mileage may vary.
18:55 katsmeow-afk a $9k harddrive : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2E11482941
19:38 katsmeow-afk need 34 fairly large heatsinks?
19:38 katsmeow-afk http://www.ebay.com/itm/331067160318
19:39 katsmeow-afk 24 minutes left
19:39 katsmeow-afk i just don't wanna be out the $33 s&h , that's a lot of aluminum
19:40 tsmeow-afk quits looking a
21:28 katsmeow-afk that stainless with 1/4 holes is looking nice as a front panel
21:42 katsmeow-afk the spacing is giving me pause
21:44 katsmeow-afk the horizontal is easy enough, tween the volts-amps, but not vertically tween the 40 rows of displays
21:44 katsmeow-afk 4 rows
21:44 rue_house oh my
21:44 rue_house kat do you have a large 4 jaw chuck you can sell?
21:45 katsmeow-afk no, but i know where i can get them for prolly $200, 10", not a scrollback tho
21:45 katsmeow-afk i have one i got for maybe $30, 6" dia
21:46 katsmeow-afk how are you defining "large" ?
21:47 rue_house kat, no, engines are only about 40% efficient
21:47 katsmeow-afk 40% max, the best diesels aren't even 40 in best tuneup condition
21:48 katsmeow-afk how are you defining "large" ?
21:48 katsmeow-afk what kinda mount?
21:48 katsmeow-afk steel or cast iron?
21:48 rue_house wow 1.2T
21:48 katsmeow-afk yeas, hence $9k
21:49 rue_house that dson't look like a large heatsink
21:49 katsmeow-afk looks like 1.5 wide, 4x5 , but the aution ended a while ago
21:49 katsmeow-afk 34 of them
21:50 rue_house 12" large
21:50 katsmeow-afk yipes

21:51 katsmeow-afk plain back, reversable jaws, 3.75 thru hole
21:51 katsmeow-afk yeas
21:52 rue_house from you?
21:52 rue_house I know a guy looking for one for a real war lathe
21:52 rue_house apparently a shell lathe
21:53 katsmeow-afk i don't have the whole lathe to fit that chuck
21:53 rue_house he is just looking for chuck
21:53 rue_house his budget is liek $400
21:53 katsmeow-afk i could maybe mount it on the big lathe half built instead of the 10" chuck i have
21:53 rue_house I thought I'd ask if you had one you wanted to sell
21:54 rue_house a 10" might do him
21:54 katsmeow-afk it's NOT a scrollback, it's independantly adjusted jaws
21:54 rue_house 4 jaws are
21:54 katsmeow-afk i don't wanna sell my 10", i been accumulatng parts to mount it
21:54 rue_house ok
21:54 katsmeow-afk i seen scrollback 3, 4, 6 jaws
21:54 rue_house .^
21:54 rue_house !
21:54 rue_house 6
21:55 tsmeow-afk
21:55 rue_house never ever seen a 6

21:58 rue_house 6 jaws is crazy
21:58 rue_house Lolina8088, look at that!
21:58 rue_house thats crazy
21:58 rue_house why 6!?
21:59 katsmeow-afk better grip
21:59 katsmeow-afk and thin materials distort more with fewer jaws
21:59 rue_house ah, thin stuff
21:59 rue_house yea
21:59 katsmeow-afk well, heavier stuff too, 6 are stronger than 4
21:59 rue_house 6 is carzy
22:00 katsmeow-afk so pull 3 off and use it as a 3-jaw

22:54 Tom_itx those were stamped holes
22:55 katsmeow-afk i believe you
22:55 katsmeow-afk i cut the panel ut of a bigger sheet, bent the edges, and cut the ~square hole for the 2-digit
22:55 katsmeow-afk not sure it looks right, it looked better in my head
22:56 katsmeow-afk however ,,, those are two 1-digits, not a 2-digit (which are on the way)
22:56 Tom_itx i bet that was painful
22:56 katsmeow-afk which?
22:56 Tom_itx hole punched ss in your head
22:56 Tom_itx but i'm with you on the look
22:56 katsmeow-afk yeas, it smelled like buring paper when i did it
22:57 Tom_itx but then who's gonna see it
22:57 rue_house wow
22:57 rue_house never seen a perforated front palte
22:57 rue_house coool
22:57 rue_house plate
22:57 katsmeow-afk huge airflow for cooling inside
22:58 rue_house indeed
22:58 katsmeow-afk i have smaller perf sheet, it's much thicker
22:59 katsmeow-afk i'll make this one complete, but i have some days, i won't get the 2-digit and 3-digit for a week or 2
22:59 katsmeow-afk i can't quite line up the multippples of 1-digit
23:00 Tom_itx superglue em
23:01 Tom_itx side by side then attach
23:01 tsmeow-afk is taking a pic of the panel in the t
23:02 m_itx is going to s
23:03 katsmeow-afk wait, this is niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice
23:04 rue_house I'm here for ya kat
23:04 rue_house well I'm afk for a bit while I clean out the kitty litte
23:07 katsmeow-afk http://designerthinking.com/images/Tek-design/DSCF6484m.jpg
23:07 katsmeow-afk http://designerthinking.com/images/Tek-design/DSCF6485m.jpg
23:08 katsmeow-afk course, when done, the led layout wil be like http://designerthinking.com/images/Tek-design/DSCF6477m.jpg
23:08 katsmeow-afk *huge* difference in solid vs the perf
23:11 tsmeow-afk hopes Tom looks and has feed
23:22 rue_house kat, shoudl I tell you that voltage meters from china are ~$3
23:30 katsmeow-afk you can if you want to
23:32 katsmeow-afk i need 4 ampmeters and 4 voltmeters in the one module, i need them to be able to remote/internally data log, at $3 each, it will cost $24 just for displays that do not log or do remotes
23:33 katsmeow-afk and the 3-2 layout is important, 3-3 is too fat, and 2-2 is not enough info
23:35 katsmeow-afk each 3-digit is $1.15 , each 2-digit is $0.75 , s&h was free
23:38 katsmeow-afk an ATTiny2313 is $1.62 , a ATTiny44 is $1.33
23:39 katsmeow-afk the 3-digit is on sale atm,, $0.58 , but the font is different, squarisher, not like the singles i have
23:40 katsmeow-afk so to recap, a 2313 + 3-digit + 2-digit = $3.52 , and i can attach an opto and remote it's display and logging and download
23:41 katsmeow-afk i could maybe do it for $3 if i didn't care about the font, speed, memory size, etc
23:42 katsmeow-afk but two displays, v+a meters, remoteability, for what one volt OR amp meter from China
23:49 katsmeow-afk plus the avr can monitor the temperature inside the unit, and do other things
23:50 rue_house ok
23:50 tsmeow-afk wants to know if rue has more i
23:51 rue_house I'm gonna try to build a model of my finger, I'm just measuring right now
23:52 rue_house damn, I have to cut my hand apart for this next measurement
23:52 katsmeow-afk if it is just a practice model, and not a working model, i suggest aluminum
23:53 katsmeow-afk yeas, difficult to get measurements right, which is why my fing isn't quite right,, but it's ok
23:53 rue_house oh, wait, i can trend over the average difference
23:56 katsmeow-afk no you can't, each finger is a tiny bit off
23:56 katsmeow-afk #1 and #3 may be close, the other two are way off
23:56 rue_house its the same finger, its, on average, about .05" wider than it is thick
23:56 katsmeow-afk they aren't even mounted to the palm straight-on, they mount at an angle
23:57 rue_house yea, working out the length of this last burried one is a challange
23:57 katsmeow-afk yeas, i did mine wider as well, needed to anyhow for the size of bearings and mounintg holes
