Back
[21:39:27] <rue_house> I got most of the side places on the little battle mecha
[21:39:33] <rue_house> plates
[21:39:39] <Tom_itx> you need to prove that sir
[21:39:59] <rue_house> ok bit later
[21:40:05] <Tom_itx> actually i believe you
[21:40:13] <katsmeow> there's a little battle mecha?
[21:40:38] <Tom_itx> yeah it hasn't grown up yet
[21:40:41] <katsmeow> wait, there's no kids missing since yesterday, is there?
[21:41:33] <rue_house> http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/images/mechaArt.jpg
[21:41:46] <rue_house> hmm might be time for a better pic?
[21:42:04] * katsmeow retaliates by uploading a pic too
[21:42:51] <rue_house> http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/mecha1/p1070521.jpg
[21:42:53] <rue_house> aha
[21:43:07] <rue_house> http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/mecha1/p1070519.jpg
[21:43:08] <katsmeow> http://DesignerThinking.com/images/DSCF7091m.jpg
[21:43:12] <katsmeow> http://DesignerThinking.com/images/DSCF7094m.jpg
[21:43:28] <katsmeow> wanna keep it up, rue?
[21:43:33] <katsmeow> i can post more!
[21:43:33] <rue_house> its got a rocket cluster and a small bore canon
[21:43:40] <katsmeow> http://DesignerThinking.com/images/DSCF7096m.jpg
[21:43:45] <katsmeow> http://DesignerThinking.com/images/DSCF7100m.jpg
[21:43:59] <rue_house> oh those are those shives eh?
[21:44:15] <katsmeow> sheaves
[21:44:29] <rue_house> by the 3 marks, I bet its for doing the cables
[21:44:35] <rue_house> the electrical cables
[21:44:51] <katsmeow> there's 5 lathed sheaves per tube, 4 have seen a lot of use
[21:45:02] <katsmeow> flat cables?
[21:45:29] <katsmeow> http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/mecha1/p1070519.jpg <<== needs video tracking
[21:45:37] <rue_house> what is the pic of your butt for?
[21:46:09] <katsmeow> that's uncleaned , 2 passes of 7018, note the lack of splatter
[21:46:17] <katsmeow> (i did knock off the flux )
[21:46:24] <rue_house> k
[21:46:47] <katsmeow> the bearing stacks: the 5-stacks are good, the 4-stack is bad
[21:46:59] <rue_house> ?
[21:47:08] <katsmeow> 20 good bearings, 4 bad
[21:47:13] <rue_house> oh
[21:47:21] <rue_house> didn't use his sparE?
[21:47:28] * rue_house adjust the shift timing
[21:47:34] <katsmeow> looks like the outer sets of bearingson some shafts wee sprayed with degreaser, they had almost no grease in some
[21:47:53] <Tom_itx> rue_house, what was the brand of your bad ssd?
[21:48:06] <rue_house> oh I cut open my thumb with a screw driving bit on a drill today
[21:48:16] <rue_house> kingston and
[21:48:19] <Tom_itx> you're not supposed to do that
[21:48:31] <Tom_itx> i'm trying a samsung
[21:48:31] <katsmeow> rue, remember to use the sliding-sleeve kinda bit holders
[21:48:40] <rue_house> adata
[21:49:11] <rue_house> they were the only two brands with good write speeds
[21:49:16] <rue_house> everyone has a good read speed, but must write speeds suck
[21:49:37] <Tom_itx> the EVO had good reviews iirc
[21:49:53] <rue_house> both mine failed within about a month
[21:50:02] <katsmeow> the 3 cable boxes the bearings are sitting on have sata drives in them, ~$3 per cable box
[21:50:10] <Tom_itx> guess we'll see
[21:50:24] <rue_house> katsmeow, I cant think of anything that fits the description "sliding sleeve"
[21:51:13] <rue_house> suppose I should take a pic while there is some light left
[21:51:18] <rue_house> just want to sleep
[21:51:46] <katsmeow> http://www.smallshardwarestore.com/assets/images/libman3/365114.jpg
[21:52:10] <katsmeow> http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/201423318273-0-1/s-l1000.jpg
[21:55:55] <rue_house> I think the one without the (R) is the fake
[21:57:27] <katsmeow> oh ,, yeaaa,,,
[21:57:37] <katsmeow> conincidently, its on ebay
[21:58:10] <katsmeow> and the rounded corners in the chars
[21:59:18] <katsmeow> you know of those, with the sleeve to cover the screw so it cannot fall over?
[22:00:01] <rue_house> ooh, its for preventing the injury I got today!
[22:00:05] <katsmeow> yeas
[22:00:45] <katsmeow> plus, yu can hold onto the sleeve (oil it periodically) to guide the screw for precision placement
[22:01:22] <rue_house> my hand was busy being a clamp for the peices being screwed togethor
[22:17:52] <rue_house> http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/mecha1/p1080051.jpg
[22:17:53] <rue_house> there ya go
[22:18:17] <rue_house> http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/mecha1/p1080044.jpg
[22:18:43] <rue_house> http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/mecha1/p1080047.jpg
[22:18:49] <rue_house> somewhere in there
[22:19:57] <katsmeow> why does it have a Snoopy-like smile on it's face?
[22:20:17] <rue_house> it seemed appropriate
[22:20:25] <rue_house> its canadian after all
[22:20:50] <rue_house> the white was to mix things up, but, I dunno...
[22:21:19] <katsmeow> confuse the enemy, foil plots to describe it's color
[22:21:24] <rue_house> hah
[22:21:46] <katsmeow> you collecting gennies?
[22:21:53] <rue_house> I was pondering using a desert camoflouge pattern, so it would be camo but still visable
[22:21:57] <rue_house> hah
[22:22:05] <rue_house> every one of them has hope
[22:22:29] <rue_house> I hope it starts, I hope it keeps running, every one of them, hope
[22:22:54] <katsmeow> fwiw, some 1/2 drive drills will spin it fast enough to crank
[22:23:17] <rue_house> dosn't rip your arm off till it fires?
[22:23:56] <katsmeow> well, it didn't, i still have all 3
[22:24:08] * rue_house nods
[22:24:38] <katsmeow> still curious about the lil smoke stack on it
[22:24:49] <rue_house> why?
[22:24:57] <rue_house> the world only thinks in gas
[22:25:44] <katsmeow> so you put 4 15" woofer in it and pay back big diesel sounds?
[22:26:04] <rue_house> hhe
[22:26:32] <rue_house> how about a ridial engine?
[22:26:35] <rue_house> radial
[22:26:53] <katsmeow> like a bomber engine?
[22:27:02] <rue_house> :) sure
[22:27:27] <rue_house> dont some tanks use radial engines?
[22:27:34] <rue_house> maybe I'm thinking of turbines
[22:28:08] <katsmeow> radials don't take the pounding that tanks get
[22:28:55] <katsmeow> they barely last in planes, the last of th ebig bomber engines required all the cylenders be replaced every 48 hrs of flight time
[22:29:12] <katsmeow> the heads on the top side had to be replaced every 20 hrs
[22:29:14] <rue_house> eeew
[22:29:30] <katsmeow> the radials tested in subs were a disaster, kept catching on fire
[22:29:47] <rue_house> well they need lots of airflow
[22:29:54] <rue_house> hard to come by in a sub
[22:30:23] <katsmeow> not really, yo can make water-cooled cylinders for them
[22:30:40] <rue_house> I'z gonna put little red and green lights on the sides
[22:30:46] <rue_house> and a white on the top
[22:31:15] <katsmeow> it's real nice, and when you get some walking legs, you can install them easily enough
[22:31:24] <rue_house> hehe
[22:31:42] <rue_house> I'm surprised, less the tek screws and the paint, its all scrap
[22:31:52] <rue_house> used up about 70% of my scrap pipe
[22:33:30] <rue_house> oh, maybe there should be a short stepladder into the cockpit
[22:33:37] <rue_house> a 1 or 2 step
[22:34:03] <rue_house> liscence plate "ICU812"
[22:34:09] <rue_house> ?
[22:35:12] <katsmeow> heh
[22:35:44] <katsmeow> dunno what they ate, i am clueless about humans
[22:35:58] <rue_house> want to think of a funny plate
[22:36:20] <rue_house> I was thinking of P13C35
[22:37:01] <rue_house> and then P3ACE5
[22:38:05] <rue_house> need to find a whip antenna for it
[22:38:07] <katsmeow> 7474 , but it's rather sexual
[22:38:34] <rue_house> hmm
[22:56:30] <rue_house> heh oops
[22:56:44] <rue_house> turns out the material I did the windows with was lexan
[22:56:47] <rue_house> didn't know that
[22:56:51] <rue_house> or I'd not have used it
[22:56:55] <rue_house> ah well
[22:57:02] <rue_house> I get the scraps!
[22:59:29] <katsmeow> is lexan bad?
[23:02:13] <rue_house> its one of the most valuable materials I have to make thigns from
[23:02:16] <rue_house> it dosn't shatter
[23:02:29] <katsmeow> oh
[23:02:52] <rue_house> unbreakable, you can tear it tho
[23:04:42] <rue_house> that door had been sitting out there for years
[23:05:05] <rue_house> I just assumed it was plexiglass
[23:05:18] <katsmeow> so sun uv won't damage it?
[23:05:25] <rue_house> hmm
[23:05:34] <rue_house> mot more than plexi I dont think
[23:06:10] <rue_house> its in fine shape, just had to wipe all the tree polen off
[23:06:19] <rue_house> its only 1/4"
[23:07:42] <rue_house> this thing must have an ora, I recall hurting myself a number of times before making it
[23:08:15] <katsmeow> aura
[23:09:40] <rue_house> "WARNING, DO NOT HIT YOUR HEAD ON THIS SIGN"
[23:10:54] <katsmeow> "this not a dumb place, do not dumb here"
[23:11:09] <rue_house> :)
[23:11:31] <rue_house> I'm told that when the poles flip, we get bombarded with solar radiation
[23:11:43] <rue_house> flip takes about 3 days
[23:11:44] <rue_house> ?
[23:11:58] <katsmeow> is that all?
[23:12:36] <katsmeow> the molten core stops n one day, and is back up to speed int he other directon in 48 hrs?
[23:13:11] <rue_house> its a gradual, but the zero field strength I'm told is 3 days
[23:13:17] <katsmeow> exotons of mateial stopping and restarting in 3 days? does anything on land or sea exist after that?
[23:13:53] <katsmeow> call your witnesses sir
[23:15:07] <rue_house> you know were 600000yrs overdue for the flip?
[23:15:29] <katsmeow> no
[23:15:30] <Tom_itx> that many?
[23:15:38] <Tom_itx> how does it flip?
[23:15:39] <rue_house> apparently so
[23:15:42] <rue_house> dunno
[23:15:58] <rue_house> but geologists know it does by the magnetic tracks in layers
[23:15:58] <Tom_itx> that sounds like a major upheaval
[23:16:14] <rue_house> seems to come with lots of chaos
[23:16:27] <katsmeow> "major" wold be an understatement
[23:23:46] <katsmeow> i came up with a zero crossover distortion amp, with no global feedback in it
[23:24:10] <katsmeow> and no idle bias setting
[23:24:18] <rue_house> magnetic?
[23:24:22] <katsmeow> no
[23:24:42] <katsmeow> the normal electronics pats, just never seen them arragned this way
[23:24:56] <katsmeow> i drew something i have never seen before
[23:26:16] <katsmeow> in fact, in the output stage, if yu take out the darlington and put in a regular transistor, the only noticeable diffeence will be lower output due to lower current gain of the non-darlington
[23:26:38] <katsmeow> no change in bias, no adjustments for temperature, etc
[23:27:32] <katsmeow> what can be done with non-darlingtons is to measure the Vbe and calculate temperature inside the transistor
[23:31:58] <rue_house> ok
[23:32:27] <rue_house> sorry, I'm trying to find a warning sign good for putting on that small bore cannon to keep people from hitting their head on it
[23:33:18] <katsmeow> "Head Butting This Cannon Is Prohibited"
[23:36:21] <rue_house> its a good angle
[23:36:54] <katsmeow> "You Must Register Prior To Head Butting The Cannons Here"
[23:37:32] <rue_house> "Cuation, cannons pose risk of head injury."?
[23:38:32] <rue_house> http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTUzNlgxMDI0/z/GskAAOSwHjNV8z-6/$_12.JPG
[23:47:39] <rue_house> I'm going down
[23:47:47] <rue_house> was hoping to see z tonight, oh well
[23:48:09] <rue_house> if you see him, push him urls of the mecha for me would you?
[23:48:19] <katsmeow> i prolly won't too
[23:48:24] <katsmeow> i ate sleepy pills
[23:48:42] <rue_house> its got 13 rocket launchers
[23:49:32] <rue_house> my deep cut dosn't hurt half as much as the nail I crunched on the other hand
[23:50:16] <rue_house> I got 10 hx711 borads
[23:50:28] <rue_house> arrived even
[23:50:39] <katsmeow> hx711 ?
[23:53:21] <rue_house> its a load cell amp
[23:53:25] <rue_house> 24 bit
[23:54:33] <katsmeow> who yo measuing tension on?
[23:55:53] <katsmeow> sign on floor:
[23:56:04] <katsmeow> if you are reading this sign, you should duck now
[23:57:00] <katsmeow> "If You Are Taller Than 5ft, Ducking Is Required In This Area"
[23:57:30] <katsmeow> "Ducking Is Required In This Area for All Persons Over 5ft Tall"
[23:57:34] <rue_house> I want ot make a scale for weighing screws with enough resolution to distiguish types, and have a robotaarm sort a bunch by weight
[23:58:19] <rue_house> I was looking for soemthing that would point out that the small bore cannon presents a risk of head impact injury
[23:58:35] <rue_house> without being so wordy of course
[23:58:35] <katsmeow> lay them one by one into a V that has grid paper on it, and use a camera to measure it?
[23:58:50] <katsmeow> then tilt the V and the screw slides into the right bin
[23:58:56] <rue_house> dont want to get into imagry
[23:59:07] <rue_house> but they are not all screws
[23:59:20] <rue_house> there are washers, pins, nuts, clips
[23:59:29] <katsmeow> ok, weigh them n the V without the grid paper
