Back
[00:01:13] <katsmeow> wrap some olde cat3 lan cable thru it, gives you 8 separate feedback windngs
[00:04:43] <katsmeow> might take some of that surplus pulse energy and shoot it backwards thru a new winding, as a snubber
[00:05:04] <katsmeow> or, you might not, i dunno
[00:06:58] <katsmeow> collet-chuck lathe, with a grinder on it's back : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Crystal-Lake-Grinder-co-OD-grinder-/141875066231
[00:07:08] <katsmeow> 99 cents, but it's in Californica
[00:15:04] <rue_shop3> cant ship it to canada for good
[00:15:27] <katsmeow> sled and a duffle bag?
[00:15:47] <katsmeow> get a mose to pull it
[00:15:47] <rue_shop3> falling asleep
[00:16:12] <katsmeow> jaws : http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odkw=&_ssn=machinerydepot&item=141875043878&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=jaws&_sacat=0
[00:56:54] <rue_bed> I think I'm done for the night
[00:57:01] <rue_bed> not sure what to do with that power supply
[00:57:44] <rue_bed> right now a 300w linear power stage isn't seeming like its too bad
[01:00:38] <katsmeow> giving up on the switcher design?
[01:05:03] <katsmeow> Those who can see the invisible, can do the impossible
[01:07:15] <katsmeow> http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj169/bat47/Table%20saw/Rebuild/100_3230.jpg <<== nice yellow pants grabber there
[19:19:43] <rue_shop3> katsmeow, heh, my uncle has a boat engine with a starter pulley
[19:21:02] <katsmeow> prolly not where it will grab hold of his pants while he is using the table saw and shred his leg
[19:26:07] <katsmeow> some power tools like that scare me, there's been accidents
[19:26:43] <rue_shop3> bah, those power tools were around long before accidents existed
[19:26:44] <katsmeow> a guy in town got picked up by a large lathe, which had it's way with him until someone shut it down
[19:27:03] <rue_shop3> yup, they can make a right mess of someone
[19:27:20] <katsmeow> much like tractor PTO can make a mess of someone
[19:27:33] <katsmeow> or car engine belts
[19:28:11] <katsmeow> or how a cat sleeping next to a warm car radiator can become rudely awakened by the engine turning over
[19:28:36] <katsmeow> and rudely disassembled
[19:30:12] <rue_shop3> I'm cleaning up the deck, I need a criteria for transformers that I keep.
[19:30:31] <rue_shop3> my dads cat lost its tail that way
[19:30:51] <rue_shop3> shoudl I keep old freezer compressors?
[19:31:09] <rue_shop3> what pressure can they go up to?
[19:31:12] <rue_shop3> 300?
[19:31:18] <katsmeow> transformers: keep those you can rewind, those that are rare, those you will likely need the day after you discard them
[19:31:27] <katsmeow> 300 easily
[19:31:39] <katsmeow> and they can pull a heck of a vac
[19:31:49] <katsmeow> all low volume, of course
[19:32:17] <katsmeow> they are fractional hp, don't expect themt o move a lot of air
[19:33:16] <katsmeow> the thing about transformers is they will keep on truckin decades after switchers have lost their caps and electronics
[19:37:01] <rue_shop3> yea, but almost everything I need is 5V, and there are these nifty little 1A versions of that..
[19:37:22] <katsmeow> you can drive transformers backwards
[19:37:36] <rue_shop3> yea...
[19:37:41] <rue_shop3> I have a pile of ups' too
[19:37:52] <katsmeow> you can take off 100 turns of #26 and put back on 3 turns of #8
[19:38:26] <rue_shop3> altho transformers dont die, the power density of an smps is pretty good
[19:38:49] <katsmeow> and they weigh less
[19:39:05] <katsmeow> not many 1.2kv versions of them tho
[19:45:11] <rue_shop3> I take apart laser printers, lots of 1, 2, 3, 4kv units
[19:46:16] <rue_shop3> I just found a verry large pile of gel batteris on the deck
[19:46:23] <rue_shop3> i cant remember wher ethye came from
[19:47:14] <katsmeow> got a local maker place that wants the stuff?
[19:54:05] <rue_shop3> I'm it
[19:54:36] <katsmeow> there's one in Van somewhere
[19:54:39] <rue_shop3> there are about 5 regular members
[19:54:47] <rue_shop3> not that know what a transformer is
[19:54:53] <katsmeow> how many irregular ones
[20:08:00] <rue_shop3> transformers?
[20:08:22] <rue_shop3> what is an irregular transformer?
[20:08:54] <katsmeow> members
[20:09:08] <rue_shop3> oh
[20:09:14] <rue_shop3> about 3 irregular ones
[20:09:26] <rue_shop3> regulars are about 1/week
[20:09:35] <rue_shop3> irregular I might see between 1 and 3 times a year
[20:09:40] <katsmeow> i go outside for a fw, bbiaw
