00:29 rue_house I have a question for you
00:29 rue_house ah
00:29 zhanx Ok
00:29 rue_house what is the max reasonable pressure for the output on those car AC compressors?
00:30 rue_house 300psid?
00:30 zhanx 250-300
00:30 rue_house ok
00:30 rue_house and schedule 40 is prolly ok for that
00:30 rue_house a scuba tank is
00:30 zhanx To be safe 80
00:31 rue_house hmm I wonder what the limit of 40 usually is
00:31 zhanx Glued joints an all
00:31 rue_house no metal
00:31 rue_house er, no, metal
00:31 zhanx Oh, then yes fine
00:31 rue_house iirc sch 40 pvc says ~250psi
00:31 zhanx Fyi 250 is the minimum per regulations
00:32 rue_house which would be insane
00:32 rue_house gonna try to start work on the mecha power pack
00:32 zhanx Cool
00:32 rue_house it should take less than 30 yers
00:33 zhanx I am designing a house with solar led lighting etc
00:33 rue_house the 5m led strips put out great light
00:33 rue_house dimmmmable too
00:34 rue_house RGB means warm for her and cool for you
00:34 rue_house (and red and green in the later months)
00:34 zhanx Wrgb
00:35 rue_house I'm leaning fingers
00:35 rue_house I have a bit of a plan for the hand
00:35 rue_house I think I can start building
00:36 zhanx Nice, I made a couple more tools today (mostly clamps for welding my frame)
00:37 zhanx My co2 setup for my fish tank is working awesome
00:37 rue_house your bubbling co2 into the tank?
00:38 zhanx Yep
00:38 zhanx Yeast and sugar mash
00:38 rue_house huh, and O2 for the fish?
00:38 zhanx Too many plants in one tank?
00:39 rue_house hmm
00:39 zhanx Plants are sending up oxygen bubbles now
00:39 rue_house huh
00:40 zhanx It's an experiment
00:40 rue_house I'm sure the fish appreciate that
00:41 zhanx Carp
00:41 rue_house goldfish or real carp
00:41 zhanx Goldfish are carp
00:41 rue_house yea, but their cheap common carp
00:42 rue_house I'm asking if their exotic carp
00:42 zhanx Cheap
00:42 zhanx But they are fed well
00:43 zhanx Since the wife wants to build a home I get to have whatever I want in it as long as she like it
00:43 rue_house mine are 4" long now, maybe 5
00:43 zhanx Mine are 3" and only had them a month
00:44 zhanx And fat
00:44 rue_house well I'm sure the hell not gonna go measure them now
00:44 rue_house need to work out fittings to plumb up the compresssors
00:44 rue_house 1hp ea?
00:45 zhanx Depends on pressure, but ya in the safe side
00:46 zhanx More like 1/2
00:46 rue_house ok
00:46 rue_house I wonder what rpm they are ok with
00:46 zhanx Up to 9000 rpm
00:46 rue_house if the engine is ~6k, and its about ....
00:46 rue_house k
00:47 rue_house 1.2:1
00:47 zhanx Would need the model
00:48 zhanx Fyi in input port is 1/2 to 3/4rdz of the output port and gives the ratio
00:49 zhanx Reverse that
00:49 rue_house 9k is insane
00:49 zhanx 9k is a 4 liter 10% rpm max
00:49 rue_house I wonder what a boat engine runs
00:50 rue_house 2 stroke
00:50 rue_house prolly about 2k
00:50 zhanx 5k max
00:50 rue_house at high
00:50 rue_house hmm
00:50 zhanx And that is screaming
00:50 rue_house so I'm prolly good for a 1:2 pulley set
00:50 zhanx Yes
00:51 zhanx Fyi I make my hoses out of 3000 psi steel braid cores
00:52 rue_house oh I suppose the fittings place can crimp me some hydraulic stuff
00:52 zhanx Yes
00:52 rue_house 300psi np
00:53 zhanx Just make sure you know the fitting angles first
00:53 zhanx 30, 45, 60, 90
00:53 rue_house so, pneumatic regulator, 300psi@1gpm -> reg -> 100psi@~3gpm?
00:54 zhanx 2.4?
00:54 rue_house +- offsets for regulator efficiency
00:54 rue_house k
00:54 zhanx Unless your reserve tank is larger than the system
00:54 rue_house P1V1 = P2V2... some like...
00:55 rue_house the plan is to store at high pressure
00:56 zhanx Ok 1 gpm into storage, x usage
00:56 rue_house I wonder if that 300->100psi regulator would get cold...
00:56 zhanx If a/c yes , if air slowly
00:56 rue_house anyhow, thanks, gnight
00:57 zhanx Night
01:27 rue_bed wtf
01:27 rue_bed 3 times in the last 3 days I'v had dizzy hits like the world just rolled
01:28 rue_bed maybe spread out a bit more
01:28 rue_bed but, hard hit
01:28 rue_bed everything suddenly looks like it spun 30 degrees
01:28 rue_bed and in 8 seconds its over
06:38 Tom_itx sure it was 8 sec and not 8 days?
18:16 katsmeow so just what does one do if they get a partridge-infested pine tree for xmas?
18:19 Tom_itx set it on fire and have roasted bird
18:22 katsmeow ok, will do
18:23 Tom_itx i personally don't like roasted bird
18:24 m_itx feels like death t
18:24 katsmeow any roasted bird?
18:24 Tom_itx chicken is ok
18:25 katsmeow Walmart delis have a roasted (baked?) lemon chicken that cats will follow you around forever to get some of
18:25 katsmeow i think it's pretty good too
18:25 katsmeow and they do sell out of them every day
18:27 katsmeow they useto have a great lil meat pizza, now it's all heavy cheap cheese with a hint of pepperoni on it
18:29 Tom_itx got any costco there?
18:30 Tom_itx we got one here finally and like their pizza ok
18:30 katsmeow no, but i hear there is one in Bham
18:31 Tom_itx 9 for a large or by the slice
18:31 katsmeow i liked Pizza Hut for a long time, but it got so greasy i was using paper towels to mop the pizza before eating, so i called that quits
18:31 katsmeow have not been back in years
18:32 katsmeow i occasionally do a DeGeornos *original* round rising crust supreme
18:32 katsmeow if i don't care so much about the flavor, Totinos makes a 99 cheapo
18:32 katsmeow 99 cent
18:33 katsmeow i keep missing that pizza place in Atlanta, in little 5 points, you could pile on ingredients to get a 1.5" tall slice, and it was a full reasonable meal
18:37 katsmeow considering the way humans talk, i wonder why they don't count like: one tuh three fur fave
18:37 m_itx g
18:38 Tom_itx gonna go lay down again.
18:39 katsmeow if you can bear it, watch Obama on his first run for president making speeches, and then watch the last one, he's become less eloquent and his pronunciation sucks now
18:40 Tom_itx i don't watch obama
18:40 tsmeow
18:41 katsmeow dinner is ready, son as i mix it ,, bbl
18:41 katsmeow pleasant resting
21:14 rue_shop3 mmm food is a good idea
21:15 katsmeow-afk i had large bowl of pasta, with ne can of veggie soup and one can of corn
21:15 katsmeow-afk and "lite salt" for the potassium
21:16 katsmeow-afk and calcium and magnesium
21:16 katsmeow-afk i hate sodium chloride alone
21:32 katsmeow-afk People who collect sand as a hobby are known as arenophiles. And other less polite words.
