[00:44:42] <rue_house> steam engines
[00:44:57] <rue_house> with convieniently attached genorator heads
[00:45:19] <rue_house> 144kw?
[00:45:51] <katsmeow> thes wouldn't be that strong, the motors look to be 208v 3hp
[00:46:41] <rue_house> oh
[00:47:01] <rue_house> what if you overrpm them, and reinvert whats genorated?
[00:47:02] <katsmeow> i have not considered it a lot, but i'd think a car engine wold make a better steam engine, with mods: special made injector in the spark plug hole, and operate both existing valves as exhaust
[00:47:16] <rue_house> oh!
[00:47:20] <rue_house> hmmm
[00:47:27] <katsmeow> you still olw not het 144kw from a 3hp motor
[00:47:35] * katsmeow looks at her paws
[00:47:49] <rue_house> hmm, well I dont know the origional size, so, ok
[00:48:59] <katsmeow> these two compressors are 4 cyl, dual stage
[00:49:31] <rue_house> 2s2p?
[00:49:40] <rue_house> 2 series, 2 parallel?
[00:50:36] <katsmeow> fat low pressure compress feed a small high pressure compress
[00:50:59] <katsmeow> all 4 pistons mounted on one crank
[00:51:03] <rue_house> 4 cyl, so 2s 2p?
[00:51:22] <katsmeow> ok
[00:51:52] <rue_house> 0 -> A 0-> B, A->C, B->D, C+D = OUT?
[00:52:48] <rue_house> too many speepy pills...
[00:53:09] <rue_house> why do you force yourself asleep?
[00:53:34] <rue_house> if I didn't have to work, I'd sleep only when I got tired
[00:53:41] <katsmeow> else i get no sleep, cept for every 3 or 4 nite
[00:54:10] <katsmeow> after 36hrs, your productivity wold suffer, and you'd want 12 hrs of sleep
[00:54:41] <rue_house> so what?
[00:55:22] <rue_house> it wouldn't matter
[00:55:42] <katsmeow> it would if you need to stay sync'd to the sun
[00:55:55] <rue_house> usuaally dont
[00:56:36] <katsmeow> you do if working outside and can make noise only when poeple are at work
[00:56:42] <rue_house> and my natural cycle, not that I really ever get to use it, ends up with me quite awake well into 7am
[00:57:25] <katsmeow> mine too, then i want to sleep every other day during the day, which leaves me with only every htere day to be outside
[00:57:50] <rue_house> ah, you dont code as much as I do tho...
[00:58:04] <katsmeow> i did way back when
[00:58:30] <katsmeow> i wrote megabytes of working source for diff stuff, mostly all Ai stuff
[00:58:45] <rue_house> I didn't work out ai, I wanted to
[00:58:49] <katsmeow> i deleted megabytes of working code from Tiggr when i found out no one wanted her around
[00:59:12] <rue_house> yes, you destroy lots of your awesome works
[00:59:45] <katsmeow> it's useless, by definition of having been put to no use, so no loss deleteng it
[01:00:09] <rue_house> do you thik its possable to buy bike shifter cable on a spool??
[01:00:19] <katsmeow> yeas
[01:00:36] <katsmeow> but i still say it's too stiff for your purposes
[01:00:58] <rue_house> the small stuff for shifters
[01:01:24] <katsmeow> i have some, still too stiff
[01:01:41] <katsmeow> i mentioned it in here or in #robotics, a decade ago
[01:07:25] <rue_house> oh!
[01:07:28] <rue_house> strength
[01:08:12] <rue_house> 1700 MPA
[01:09:00] <katsmeow> yeas, bike cable will hold your own weight
[01:09:16] <rue_house> I dont know why they use MPA
[01:10:09] <rue_house> oooh
[01:10:11] <rue_house> cheats
[01:10:20] <rue_house> 1700mpa, and 1mm dia
[01:11:21] <rue_house> .00785cm^2
[01:11:31] <rue_house> at 1770 kg/cm^2
[01:11:43] <katsmeow> i am passing out
[01:11:48] <rue_house> 13kg
[01:12:08] <katsmeow> gnites
[01:12:21] <rue_house> 1mm ss cable only 13kg?
[01:14:27] <rue_house> oooh, you can get hydraulic lines for bikes...
[07:01:20] <Tom_itx> i used to buy bulk bike cable so yes you can get it
[21:58:47] <^kat^> rue, $150 for that 2+2 compressor, but i am second in line for it
[21:59:06] <^kat^> if the guy doesn't return with money for it, i get it
[21:59:50] <^kat^> i figure $150 is 1/3 the cost of 2 cheap HF 2-cyl compressors (HF cloned a Ingersol-Rand for $175, iirc)
[22:00:43] <^kat^> the other compressor is much larger, 2-stage, the big piston looks to be 6" dia, the small one 2.5-3 inch dia, prolly inch stroke
[22:01:01] <^kat^> he wants $500 for it, but will take $300
[22:40:11] <^kat^-afk> After several unsuccessful attempts to land an unmanned rocket on a football field-sized floating platform in the Atlantic Ocean, Elon Musk's SpaceX finally pulled off the dramatic feat Friday afternoon
[22:59:53] <rue_house> yea, I see!
[23:00:18] <rue_house> dont know how they keep the rocket up on a platform bobbin around that much tho
[23:26:11] <^kat^-afk> those lil fordout side strust on the rocket
[23:26:16] <^kat^-afk> foldout
[23:26:40] <^kat^> struts
[23:26:44] <^kat^> on
[23:46:01] <rue_shop3> arg, I just noticed one of the shop doors it all beat to hell
[23:47:00] <^kat^> someone break in ?
