01:52 AM rue_mohr: I think a tesla turbine would work better
01:52 AM rue_mohr: ditch the surface contact
09:29 AM Tom_L: better i'm sure
09:32 AM Tom_L: you could have made one of the halves holding the bearings as part of the body
09:32 AM Tom_L: are the black rings O-rings or did you print those too?

10:00 AM aandrew: tesla turbine?
10:01 AM aandrew: polprog_> hard to get IRC access at sea
10:01 AM aandrew: wspr.net on HF? :-)
10:02 AM aandrew: rue_mohr: classic vane air motor?
10:23 AM rue_mohr: rubber rings that I punched from sheet
10:24 AM rue_mohr: actually, combining the back would solve a warping issue too
01:31 PM rue_shop5: I want to take my low-drag pneumatic check valve and hook two up to a speaker to make an air pump
01:32 PM rue_shop5: and adjust the stils for the skelatonics suit
01:32 PM rue_shop5: and change the gasket on the truck door
01:32 PM rue_shop5: and fix the engine squeek (it was not the steering pump)
01:32 PM rue_shop5: its the alternator or idler
01:33 PM rue_shop5: and get the next part of the circuit working on the wire wrapped 1 bit computer
01:33 PM rue_shop5: and fix the sprockets on the trike so I can take it for a spin
01:33 PM rue_shop5: and make the irrigation water movment pumps and summer cooling systems
01:34 PM rue_shop5: I have the next step on the pneumatic vane pump ready to go
01:34 PM rue_shop5: I'd like to make a little diaphram pneumatic engine
01:35 PM rue_shop5: the shed needs a solar charge controller
01:35 PM rue_shop5: I want to do a test on the new cnc motor drivers
01:35 PM rue_shop5: a got an old buddy who wants me to make a battery pack for him and I dont quite have the right parts
01:36 PM rue_shop5: I should put away the gear counter project
01:39 PM rue_shop5: I have the old idler pulley, I think I pulled it out last time the alternator bearsings were bad
01:39 PM rue_shop5: heheh
02:03 PM Tom_L: rue_shop5,
02:04 PM Tom_L: rub some bar soap on the fan belt on the truck. that will probably fix your squeak
02:06 PM Tom_L: i did replace the idler once though
02:32 PM rue_shop5: bought a new alternator, but in the spirit of "its not what you need" they had to order it in
02:32 PM rue_shop5: they had a idler pulley in, when I got home, more snooping with the oil can proved, yes, its the idler that squeeking
02:32 PM rue_shop5: :]
02:33 PM rue_shop5: I can replace the bearing in the new idler!
02:33 PM rue_shop5: its not plastic molded around the bearing
02:50 PM rue_shop5: nope, EVERYTHING is giving me flase feedback
02:50 PM rue_shop5: its the alterntor
02:50 PM rue_shop5: I think its the brushes, cuase its not responing to oil and its changing under load
02:50 PM rue_shop5: I'll just replace everything
02:52 PM rue_shop5: failure makes me not want to play
02:54 PM rue_shop5: ditto with always playing alone
02:58 PM rue_shop5: the new power steering pump is nice, works right from cold
02:58 PM rue_shop5: used to take a while for the power steering to kick in

03:15 PM rue_mohr: -
03:15 PM rue_mohr: how did the squeek stop exactly when I oiled he idler, but turned out to be the alternator
