00:00 Tom_itx drug?
00:00 katsmeow-afk tightening to that would have cracked the alum rims
00:01 katsmeow-afk pounded on, with 3-jaw puller on it, because [23:33] <katsmeow-afk> sorta like this problem, when the bearings had siezed inside the ,, whatever that thing is called
00:01 Tom_itx ahh
00:02 Tom_itx a bit of pounding there
00:02 katsmeow-afk the distortion to the hub was from the wheel puller tho
00:03 katsmeow-afk each jaw pulled the hub and unflattened the surface the tire rim bolted to
00:03 Tom_itx yeah i saw that
00:03 katsmeow-afk which is why i removed the lug bolts and ground it flat again
00:03 katsmeow-afk ah, wasn't the bearings, was the front wheel drve axle thrut he bud
00:04 katsmeow-afk thru the hib
00:04 katsmeow-afk hub damnit
00:04 katsmeow-afk was years ago
00:23 tsmeow-afk goes to put her hind paws up, after turning off all the lites upstairs,,,
00:26 rue_house this new light is great, less it needs a 15' cord to get to the plug
00:26 rue_house thats just tweeking tho
00:30 rue_shop2 one of the best things I made was a power bar with a 10' cord
01:00 rue_shop2 katsmeow-afk, do you have a good source for copper coated 1/8 filler rods?
01:39 katsmeow-afk no, last time i bought welding rods was yrs ago, i bought 100lbs
01:39 katsmeow-afk got a great deal
01:39 katsmeow-afk why do yo want copper coated filler rods? anything but steel in the weld is going to make it weaker
01:39 rue_shop2 I use them to make things
01:40 katsmeow-afk oh, like the hexabod
01:40 katsmeow-afk what abut brazing rods? you can solder to them
01:41 rue_shop2 heh, yea, I learned solder must not be used for structure
01:41 katsmeow-afk dam, alcohol taste disgusting, i don't like it, and it doesn't like me,, you'd think in the 10's of centuries humans been making alcolo drinks, something utterly toxic should taste good
01:41 rue_shop2 hexapod has a little over 185 connections on it
01:41 katsmeow-afk how are you fastening them then?
01:42 rue_shop2 most are push on header
01:42 rue_shop2 :)
01:42 katsmeow-afk then why be copper coated?
01:42 rue_shop2 (aka pull off header)
01:42 rue_shop2 oh, I'm just out of it
01:42 rue_shop2 last time I got some it cost a fortune
01:42 katsmeow-afk ok, then use stainless
01:42 rue_shop2 the cost of the silver solder would make up for the savings
01:42 katsmeow-afk i grabbed some at the recycler, they thought they were aluminum
01:42 rue_shop2 hah
01:43 katsmeow-afk makes nice pot shafts and things
01:43 rue_shop2 wouldn't stainless be softer structurely than the standard filler rod?
01:43 rue_shop2 (cold)
01:43 katsmeow-afk i doubt it
01:43 rue_shop2 hmm
01:44 rue_shop2 the song is telling me its 2am, I dont like that
01:44 katsmeow-afk the stuff i got was / is pretty tough
01:44 rue_shop2 its also telling me the thrill is gone
01:44 rue_shop2 and there's a storm on the loose
01:44 katsmeow-afk it's not 2am here you are
01:44 katsmeow-afk it's not 2am where i are
01:44 katsmeow-afk it's not 2am where Tom are
01:44 katsmeow-afk the song is wrong, no wonder you don't like it
01:45 tsmeow-afk verifies to NIST : 1:28am
01:46 katsmeow-afk i should make a "trashed video detector and logger"
02:06 tsmeow-afk ponders the poor guy who hasto sell a car that gets only 8 miles per l
02:22 katsmeow-afk the first Porsche : http://www.latimes.com/la-worlds-first-porschedesigned-vehicle-uncovered-20140129,1,25317.photogallery
03:07 rue_house http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uiPHL-xey4
03:07 rue_house more robot abuse
04:25 katsmeow-afk can't sleep
13:29 rue_bed TELunus, yea, dont use steppers :)
13:30 TELunus Ya. For a while they were also looking at brushless, which could work.
13:30 rue_bed how many wattts, its too early for me
13:31 rue_bed 500rpm , 2.5Nm
14:45 Tom_itx explain how a 3phase inverter works using an inductance motor
14:46 rue_house the answer is C!
14:46 Tom_itx why all the heavy caps etc
14:46 Tom_itx and do they have diodes inside?
14:47 rue_house Tom_itx, the idea is to generate a 3rd leg at enough of a phase angle to mimmic 3 phase
14:47 Tom_itx i've seen / used them but don't know how they work
14:47 rue_house the capacitors a) start b) phase lag the power to make it
14:47 rue_house but seriously, for the mney, buy a VFD
14:47 Tom_itx i'm not talking about buying anything
14:47 rue_house rotary phase converters rarely work out for people
14:47 Tom_itx i wanted to know how they work
14:48 Tom_itx i know about their reliability
15:09 rue_house katsmeow-afk, what sources do you know of for official gearmotors (new, datasheets)
