00:10 katsmeow the trick is chop the tato, shake the dry spices (salt, cumin), the drizzle the dressing, and finally add butter
00:11 katsmeow i use the italian dressing because it has all the spices i'd add manually one at a time
00:11 rue_shop3 oh I want to try to dig up some tatoes
00:12 katsmeow wait till daylite?
00:17 rue_shop3 yea
00:18 rue_shop3 http://www.thingiverse.com/rue_mohr/designs
00:20 rue_shop3 its really encouraging when the bot favorites you cause you have an scad file in your posted files
00:55 katsmeow ...
01:05 katsmeow i keep forgetting to add \*.* to the of dirs i wanna mogrify
01:42 rue_house hmm
16:36 at^ is inside feeling queasy again and dosing herself with s
22:03 zhanx Evening
22:07 rue_house hey
22:08 zhanx http://imgur.com/jAcwz22 for the 7th birthday theme for the kid
22:08 rue_house talked to the doc
22:08 zhanx And?
22:08 rue_house says its probably virus or a particular distease, getting tests
22:09 zhanx Lime
22:11 zhanx Ever cut iron wood?
22:11 zhanx Not sure if you got it out there also know as blue beech
22:19 at^ wavers
22:20 rue_bed I think I know the major premise the brain operates with
22:20 ^kat^ i wonder if the movie "Billion Dollar Brain" was a direct takeoff of "Colossus: The Forbin Project"
22:20 rue_bed hmm
22:21 rue_bed but I really dont know its helping me
22:21 zhanx So that is a no?
22:21 ^kat^ the major premise being: "make me feel better about myself" ?
22:21 rue_bed no
22:21 rue_bed how memories etc work
22:22 zhanx I need a billion dollar brain
22:22 rue_bed how the neurons work to create higher level operations
22:22 ^kat^ wouldn't a mere $100k brain be enough?
22:23 rue_bed its crazy
22:23 zhanx Go big
22:23 rue_bed hey, the strenth of a magnetic field falls off with the square of the distance
22:23 ^kat^ but Watson was only a few racks of COTS nix boxes
22:23 ^kat^ so does light, rue
22:24 ^kat^ all radiation, iirc
22:24 rue_bed so, if I put two coils a knows distance apart, then by knowing the strength at the two distances I can work out how far away the signal source was?
22:24 ^kat^ unless thee's interference, yeas
22:24 ^kat^ prolly better ways to do it
22:24 rue_bed so, with two of them, I could pinpoint the location of the origionating electromagnetic pulse
22:25 ^kat^ using a megawatt primary coil and a secondary 10 miles away, you couldn't be accurate
22:26 rue_bed neurons give off electrostatic charges when they switch states right?
22:26 rue_bed and if you change the potential of something, you have to have a flow of current
22:26 rue_bed and a flow of current causes a magnetic field
22:26 Tom_itx rue_bed, startup current on a midsize compressor?
22:26 ^kat^ celular fow, across cell boundries
22:26 rue_bed what do you think the switching time is of a nerve?
22:27 ^kat^ midsize?
22:27 ^kat^ Tom, 10x the running current
22:27 rue_bed Tom_itx, 350% of the full load current at a guess
22:27 rue_bed hmm
22:27 ^kat^ or 1sec at rated locked rotor, and 3sec at 1/2 locked rotor
22:27 Tom_itx 5hp
22:27 Tom_itx 220v
22:28 rue_bed ouch
22:28 ^kat^ 80amp at least on 230vac
22:28 rue_bed what power factor
22:28 rue_bed 3730w
22:28 Tom_itx it starts at 0 psi
22:28 ^kat^ it's gonna pull 16amp running
22:28 Tom_itx cause of the bleedoff valve
22:29 rue_bed 17 at 100% eff
22:29 rue_bed and unity power factor
22:29 ^kat^ peak locked rotor, first few shaft turnss : 160amps
22:29 rue_bed Tom_itx, does it have an efficiency and power factor
22:29 rue_bed ?
22:29 ^kat^ that causes the lites to blink
22:29 Tom_itx no idea
22:30 Tom_itx someone was asking
22:30 Tom_itx i used mine as an example
22:30 zhanx So correct me on this... I making some tools to make better tools etc (final goal is robot)... using a bicycle crank with a chain drive as a disk sander
22:30 Tom_itx it's been running fine for years
22:30 ^kat^ it drops really fast, in a few cycles, to 10x until the start cap drops out, then drops fast to the 16amps
22:30 Tom_itx it's got a big start relay on it
22:30 Tom_itx oversize but cheap... used
22:31 ^kat^ Tom, rule of thumb: start cap motors pull 10x running current as long as the start winding is engaged
22:31 ^kat^ usually, breakers do not pop, but they require a slow-blo fuse
22:32 zhanx Time delay fuse
22:32 ^kat^ ok
22:32 ^kat^ does it now have issues?
22:33 zhanx Some
22:33 zhanx Power spikes etc
22:34 ^kat^ btw, the compressor bleed/unloader valve doesn't work as well as an intake cutoff, an intake cut off can keep the compressor unloaded indefinately
22:34 ^kat^ power spikes in which direction?
22:35 zhanx Reminds me, I need to get to check valves tomorrow
22:35 zhanx In feed
22:35 ^kat^ while rnning?
22:35 ^kat^ run cap shorting, or start switch on the shaft closing when it shouldn't
22:36 zhanx No before start or say return of power after brown out
22:36 ^kat^ relay isn't chattering?
22:36 zhanx Depends etc
22:37 ^kat^ put a lockout on it for power cycling, specially for a 5hp, that's fairly sizeable for singlephase
22:38 zhanx 15 amp is big for single phase
22:38 ^kat^ at loss of power, cannot power up again till compressor bleedoff has been accomplished
22:39 zhanx Ok
22:42 ^kat^ my big window unit, very old, horrible efficency, pulls 15amps@230, makes the breakerbox growl at 60amps when it starts up
22:42 ^kat^ i haven't used it in years
22:42 zhanx Use a bigger Start cap
22:43 ^kat^ why use it at all? the lil 120v 5000btu unit is enough
22:43 zhanx The compressor is going needs the extra power to start
22:44 ^kat^ it starts ok, it grwols only a sec
22:44 ^kat^ growls maybe 3 sec if started with high head pressure, then the internal overload kicks off
22:44 zhanx Still going out
22:45 ^kat^ still not using it, not taking it with me on a boat, too inefficient,, EER of 6, iirc
22:46 zhanx K
22:47 zhanx I made an awesome mallet today in the most dangerous way possible
22:47 zhanx Chop saw only out of a log
22:47 zhanx The clear coat is drying will have pictures tomorrow
22:48 zhanx Tomorrow is the sander and maybe if I get time drill press
22:48 ^kat^ you put a handle on a secton of log? isn't that how it's done?
22:48 zhanx Made it square
22:49 at^ hands zhanx some 6
22:50 zhanx 6x6 big even for me
22:51 ^kat^ not taking that n a boat with me either, and it's pressure treated
22:51 zhanx But I did make a giant one as a joke log on a stick
23:23 ^kat^ i read "Flowers for Algernon" ~1968, got the movie finally
23:38 rue_bed mmmmmm
