22:39 katsmeow-afk Feb. 17 - A soft-bodied robotic octopus arm has been created by scientists in Italy. ==>> http://uk.reuters.com/video/2012/02/17/octopus-arm-reaches-for-soft-robot-revol?videoId=230345827&videoChannel=4000

22:51 katsmeow-afk damn, 400ft-lbs at 2000rpm is only 150hp
23:06 rue_house katsmeow-afk, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR3IiXvzrds << as your internet permits
23:06 katsmeow-afk legos??
23:07 rue_house the hand it well done
23:07 katsmeow-afk hmm, interesting
23:09 katsmeow-afk yeowch @ 2:15 , that pusher at the bottom of the elbow is crubley
23:09 katsmeow-afk crumbly
23:09 rue_house :)
23:09 rue_house I thought the hand was pretty cool
23:09 katsmeow-afk or 2:58
23:15 katsmeow-afk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wwoeZVvJlo&feature=related
23:17 rue_house it looks like its less mobile than the lego one :/
23:19 katsmeow-afk i need a non-ridgid non-round dynamicly shape-shifting "wheel"
23:20 rue_house http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSo6C_gE4w8&feature=related
23:21 rue_house throw one of those togethor kat
23:21 rue_house maybe do a battery job
23:21 rue_house better
23:22 katsmeow-afk atm, i just need something to carry stuff
23:22 katsmeow-afk atm, i can get stuff on/off the truck with the bridge crane outside, but the more i move around, the more i hurt, and i expect that holds true if i am moving in a exoskeleton too
23:24 rue_house http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh2Ym7ehb8k&feature=related <-- wow that camera has a FAST shutter
23:24 katsmeow-afk besides, if i had something to carry stuff, it could carry a lawnmower, and i wouldn't need to strap into an exoskeleton
23:28 katsmeow-afk what's 1100 mm^2 in sq inches?
23:28 rue_house You have: 1100mm2
23:28 rue_house You want: inch2
23:28 rue_house * 1.7050034
23:29 katsmeow-afk hmm
23:30 katsmeow-afk so 500hp boiler wold need a 2x2 ft stack
23:30 rue_house via which paramiter?
23:31 katsmeow-afk In general 1 kW boiler heat requires 1100 mm2 of chimney area.
23:31 katsmeow-afk so counting some losses down to where 1kw = 1 hp, 500hp needs a 24x24 inch chimney
23:33 rue_house http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWMC27GVtzE&NR=1&feature=endscreen ahahahahahahahahaa
23:37 katsmeow-afk is it cheating if your paper plane has a 6hp motor o it?
23:39 rue_house :)
