00:11 katsmeow it's a 2nd mirore?
00:17 rue_more gngiht
00:17 zhanx night
00:18 katsmeow gnite
00:51 any06279625 lost the internets
21:16 rue_shop3 hmm
21:16 rue_shop3 I should work on the script that automatically controls the draft fan
21:17 rue_shop3 not sure how to tell is the fire needs more fuel tho
21:19 ^kat^ wait
21:20 rue_shop3 im not fond of timer based systems
21:21 rue_shop3 I'm running the boiler to get it all heated up
21:21 rue_shop3 its gonna be a cold night
21:21 ^kat^ i don't mean wait, i mean weight
21:21 rue_shop3 I dont have a scale under the firebox
21:21 ^kat^ if there is no fuel, the fuel holder won't weigh anything
21:22 rue_shop3 its welded to the reactor (firebox)
21:22 rue_shop3 and get jammed with wood quite often
21:22 rue_shop3 I might have a lead on a 8kbtu/hr exchanger
21:23 ^kat^ "jammed" ?
21:23 ^kat^ 8kbtu is very small
21:23 rue_shop3 the wood gets jammed between the sides and bottom of the firebox, I have to go in and jab at it often
21:23 rue_shop3 should be enough for the shop tho
21:23 rue_shop3 get a lot of heat into the floor and see how long is lasts
21:24 ^kat^ what if you make the basket with sides, so the fuel cannot contact anything but the basket
21:24 rue_shop3 kinda, there is nothing I can make the basket out of tho
21:24 rue_shop3 steel would melt, ceramic would break
21:25 rue_shop3 my ace design is to make a well to put it all in, just throw wood into a hole in the ground
21:25 ^kat^ like the basket with firebrick, replace at start of each season?
21:25 ^kat^ err,
21:25 ^kat^ line
21:27 ^kat^ ok, a fat tamper that goes into the basket from the top,, if it goes to point X , then it's hit the bottom of the basket, there is no fuel in it
21:28 rue_shop3 I'm building a new reactor, its got parallel walls, no stupid funnel
21:29 rue_shop3 the tank (100gal ) has gained 25c in a half hour
22:02 rue_shop3 "why is this one black?" "I got it dirty and didn't feel like trying to clean it"
22:03 rue_shop3 hahaha I met M51399 is a high voltage op-amp
22:05 ^kat^ oh
22:06 ^kat^ i forget who made some modules in the 80's that would swing sine waves 1000v + and -
22:08 rue_shop3 oh, no, ist just a video amp
22:08 ^kat^ you are going to usea a $4 opamp iin the psu?
22:08 rue_shop3 I have 3
22:08 rue_shop3 from a crt monitor baord
22:08 rue_shop3 100Mhz, but its only 13V
22:11 rue_shop3 tank is at 53c
22:11 rue_shop3 this is painfull I need to clean the tubes
22:27 ^kat^ ok, 7902 hz is a wavelength in air of 4.37cm
22:27 ^kat^ so 16kz would have a wavelength of 2.18 cm
22:28 ^kat^ so 32kz would have a wavelength of 1.09 cm
22:28 ^kat^ see, yu could easily place something far more accurately in your yard using 32khz than using gps
22:44 rue_more hmm
22:44 rue_more I got an idea tho
22:44 rue_more I add a damper for extra incomming air
22:44 rue_more default the draft fan to 50%
22:45 rue_more if I need more heat, I open the damper
22:45 ^kat^ that's sure cheaper than adding fuel
22:45 rue_more I suppose I need to try increasing the draft fan too, but if both hit 100% and the haet isn't meeting its mark, I'm outa fuel
22:59 rue_more right now I crack opent eh door if it needs to get a lot hotter
22:59 rue_more the new one is intended to have a proper draft door
23:01 ^kat^ yeas, ging out in the cool to adjust the bedroom heat seems wier
23:01 ^kat^ d
23:19 ^kat^ see, right now, i am using this puter to talk about music, i am listening to it on the laptop, and playing off a hdd on a 3rd puter ,, i need a raspi to be that 3d puter, so using many of them cheaply is feasable
23:20 ^kat^ or a even cheaper avr-on-a-italian-pcb puter
23:37 ^kat^ [22:55] <^kat^> see, right now, i am using this puter to talk about music, i am listening to it on the laptop, and playing off a hdd on a 3rd puter ,, i need a raspi to be that 3d puter, so using many of them cheaply is feasable
