[22:54:16] <Tom_itx> bloop bloop
[22:54:34] <^kat^> oh hie
[22:55:08] <Tom_itx> what discussion kat?
[22:56:02] <^kat^> on that $3000 go-fud-it account for aplastic enclosure
[22:57:07] <^kat^> https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1652064221/hexrad-a-
[22:57:07] <^kat^> modular-enclosure-system-for-outdoor-radi
[22:57:32] <^kat^> A variation on that:
[22:57:32] <^kat^> You know how the caps for cpvc/pvc pipe are tapered inwards, and
[22:57:32] <^kat^> get tighter as the pipe is pushed in. Ok, very slightly machine them so
[22:57:32] <^kat^> they don't do that. Then groove the inside for an o-ring, a cheap size you
[22:57:32] <^kat^> can get 1000's of. Drill a set of holes in the cap such that an allthread
[22:57:32] <^kat^> can be inserted, and so the allthread will pass snug against the pipe
[22:57:33] <^kat^> walls when the cap is on pipe. Machine flat the area the allthread nut
[22:57:33] <^kat^> touches the cap. Suggest the user put vaseline on the
[22:57:47] <^kat^> on the o-ring, and any
[22:57:47] <^kat^> other durable sealant on the allthread holes. Size the allthread as
[22:57:47] <^kat^> appropriate for the pipe size or buyer request.
[22:57:47] <^kat^> Make caps for all cpvc/pvc sizes 4" and smaller.
[22:57:47] <^kat^> Offer to sell kits including the (sch21/40/80) pipe and (possibly
[22:57:48] <^kat^> stainless or anodised) allthread and sealants.
[22:57:48] <^kat^> Offer to sell the various electrical boxes that fit pvc pipe.
[22:57:49] <^kat^> Offer to 3D print custom boxes.
[22:57:59] <^kat^> Make a youtube showing basic assy, and how to stack multiple
[22:58:00] <^kat^> pcbs and battery packs and antennas on the 4-40 before slipping
[22:58:00] <^kat^> into the pipe. Demo filling the pipe with dry nitrogen (etc) before the
[22:58:00] <^kat^> last cap is installed.
[22:58:00] <^kat^> I'd do it, but if i make a buck on ebay, i lose all my income.
[22:59:15] <^kat^> knowing rue, he'd find a way to melt the pipe to be square
[23:02:34] <^kat^> i just found out last nite that the tv show on CBS "person of interest", which i cannot get here, has a season 4 which pits two Ai against each otehr
[23:12:36] <^kat^> well, ok
