00:04 katsmeow-afk no
00:04 katsmeow-afk 16 will get slightly warm at 350cm/amp
00:04 katsmeow-afk 18 will get quite warm in conduit at 4amps continuously
00:04 Tom_itx so 14 would be ok
00:05 katsmeow-afk going by the book, since Tiggr is down, so is her db
00:05 katsmeow-afk yeas, 14 is fine
00:05 Tom_itx and 16 is probably ok
00:05 katsmeow-afk yeas, specially since your drivers will cut power if not actually moving
00:06 Tom_itx yeah i like that feature
00:06 Tom_itx they have a dsp in them to manage microstepping for a better power curve at higher rpm
00:08 katsmeow-afk usa has moved F-22 to within range of Tehran
00:09 Tom_itx are they about to open a can of whoopass?
00:10 katsmeow-afk politically speaking, no whoopass intended atm
00:10 Tom_itx just a chess move?
00:10 katsmeow-afk but in reality, we won't know till after it's happened
00:17 katsmeow-afk i wouldn't expect the F22 to go in for days after cans get opened, i expect B1, B52, AWAC with an assortment of Apache and A10 search-destroy teams
00:18 SolarNRG Iran isn't the target, Syria is
00:18 katsmeow-afk Iran has targets of interest buried too deep for even small nukes to destroy directly
00:18 katsmeow-afk F22 is too fast and pricey to use in street fighting Syria
00:18 SolarNRG Iran's bait up the wrong tree to make people think Iran Iran Iran Iran BANG WHAM we hit Libya, didn't see that coming now, did ya mofo!
00:19 katsmeow-afk i been expecting Lybia for years before, due to interest in commercialisaton there that Mofo ghadaffi wouldn't allow
00:19 katsmeow-afk moamar
00:19 katsmeow-afk whichever
00:21 katsmeow-afk you can stop Ian from making more nuke anything by closing, and keeping closed, it's access to the surface of earth, but getting down into it's buried tunnels is a totally different project
00:25 tsmeow-afk ponders titanium nosed penetrators coming down at outer-space ballistic sp
00:32 katsmeow-afk my stepfather, who was deployed to SE Asia , once asked me if they could win N Korea, i though about it, and siad only if you could drop tactical nukes every 10 miles down every mountan valley in the cuontry, and convince Japa, Russa, and China that the nuke fallout was ok
00:33 katsmeow-afk he decided i was prolly right, but he was very unhappy
00:45 katsmeow-afk gnites
00:45 Tom_itx yuppers
00:45 Tom_itx me is tired
01:08 SolarNRG I think the world would be better off if every border put down their weapons, gun factories would shut down and we could embrace world peace day
04:37 Steffanx lol at criticism at your fancy solder pot rue_bed / rue_house / rue_rue
09:14 rue_house ;)
09:14 rue_house hackaday or youtube
09:15 rue_house SolarNRG, some people just hate other people too much, talk to flyback in #electronics for a while and even you will feel a desire to kill him
09:15 Tom_itx aww
09:15 Tom_itx he's been working on stuff lately
09:15 rue_house WhAt?
09:16 Tom_itx what's we doin today mr rue?
09:16 rue_house yea, thats the only thing worth anythng about him, he has that little , miniscule sliver of usefullness
09:16 rue_house I'm going to work to reconnect a network
09:16 Tom_itx it appears to be working here
09:17 rue_house their printers
09:18 Steffann hackaday rue_house
09:18 Steffann I can talk very well sometimes with that guy rue_house
09:18 Steffann I just don't take him very serious, i guess that helps
09:19 Steffann him = flyback
09:19 Tom_itx he's just one step beyond pepsi
09:24 rue_house pepsi makes me sad, before the drugs he was really smart, with a good personality
09:27 Steffann You know what that means rue_house ?
09:28 Steffann You've been using IRC for waaaaaay too long
09:28 Tom_itx rue_house, he's got a good job now
09:29 Tom_itx and i think he's back in chicago working
10:06 rue_house its still sad
14:07 delinquentme http://www.instructables.com/id/Perfboard-Hackduino-Arduino-compatible-circuit/step11/Program-ATMega-chip-wArduino-and-Extract/ << so im building this and i just realized that I've got no way to program it
14:08 delinquentme this is different than flashing a bootloader
14:22 rue_house mmm
14:48 delinquentme rue any thoughts on uploading arduino sketches to one of these:http://www.instructables.com/id/Perfboard-Hackduino-Arduino-compatible-circuit/
14:49 rue_house no
16:33 SolarNRG My latest nukebox test, episodes 6 and 7 double bill tungsten wire test and copper calcium titanate now live at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlxbVKkm71E&feature=youtu.be
16:39 Steffanx SolarNRG loves trial and error … ?1 :P
16:40 Steffanx You should get a (bid) tripod so you can use both of your hands
16:40 Steffanx *gi
16:40 Steffanx *big
16:41 Steffanx Or something to mount the camera on your head :P
16:45 SolarNRG With what, my school girl's tie?
16:45 SolarNRG My underpants elastic?
16:45 SolarNRG How about my guitar strings
16:45 Steffanx Whatever works for you
16:46 SolarNRG Lexi is usually my tripod but she doesn't like me microwaving shit in the backyard so I have to do it when she's not in
16:46 Steffanx Ha
16:47 Steffanx Your neighbours think you make bombs, don't they?
16:51 SolarNRG That's OK my neighbours are the IRA and Al qaida, I'm the least of their worries
17:42 SolarNRG What is it that determines how quickly a material will heat when exposed to 2.4ghz microwave EM radiation?
17:44 galatorg i believe how polar the molecules or whatnot. i.e. water is bipolar and usually what heat up very well within the food in a microwave. could be wrong though, i believe it's along those lines though
17:47 galatorg http://paul-a-heckert.suite101.com/how-do-microwave-ovens-work-a35365 so basically, the faster it can get rotating, the faster it will heat up
17:48 SolarNRG I tested Titanium dioxide, it did not heat, yet it is a polar molecule
17:56 galatorg looking into it, i'm really not entirely sure, i'm no microwave pro. i'm coming across titanium dioxide forming into a crystaline stucture. so the individual structures of TiO2 wouldn't be very polar, like - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rutile-unit-cell-3D-balls.png
17:58 SolarNRG Good answer galatorg
17:58 SolarNRG Is there a way I could make my powders behave more like water?
17:58 SolarNRG Or become more polar
17:59 Tom_itx if it were practical for the microwave process, industry would be doing it
18:01 SolarNRG In 1902 if it were practical to fly people wouldn't spend a week crossing the Atlantic on a ship
18:01 SolarNRG In 2002 you could hop on Ryanair
18:01 SolarNRG In 2012 it isn't possible to melt metals efficiently in a microwave oven,
18:01 SolarNRG But maybe by 2022!?
18:02 SolarNRG I have no intention of stopping, I've learned more than I ever have at school doing this
18:02 SolarNRG Its challenged my understanding of materials and electromagnetic waves
18:22 ace4016 there's a lot of lost energy melting metals in a microwave....more efficient to just use a fuel :P
18:24 SolarNRG I want a highly efficient yet highly resistive microwave receiver
18:29 ace4016 are you against making a traditional forge? or just fascinated/obsessed with a microwave forge?
18:32 SolarNRG obsessed being the right answer
18:33 ace4016 :P
18:39 galatorg lmao, nice ("maybe by 2022" little rant)
18:44 SolarNRG Yeah I expect it'll take a long time of studying electron configurations of various elements until I see a pattern
18:44 SolarNRG There's bound to be something these materials have in common
18:45 Tom_itx are you a chemist?
18:45 SolarNRG I have chemicals sure
18:45 SolarNRG I mix ceramics
18:45 SolarNRG I'm a microwave specialist really
18:45 SolarNRG I don't do any maths
18:45 SolarNRG Nor do I do any writing, I video my results
18:45 SolarNRG At least I'm honest about them
18:46 SolarNRG I don't even have a thermometer, I jsut use a piece of paper and see if it catches fire, so far only magnetite has done this
18:47 SolarNRG Beddy byes for snoozey pies
19:04 e_house wonders what he was supposed to show solarng how t
21:41 zhanx this working?
22:05 zhanx everyone is gone
22:11 Tom_itx just working
22:48 home hmm
22:48 home got an 3-axis accelerometer..
22:48 home what to do with it.. XD
22:49 katsmeow-afk meter accels with it
23:50 rue_house "Repition it is."
23:50 rue_house "Repition it is."
23:50 rue_house "Repition it is."
23:50 rue_house "Repition it is."
23:51 rue_house "I object to all this 'I'm skinny' and 'I'm short' and 'I'm this and I'm that' BY THE FACT i'M THE ONLY ALIEN HERE I AM __AVERAGE__, thankyou."
