02:39:12 <arch> T3sl4, do you have ham radio?
02:39:55 <rust_collector> pork pork pork

03:23:06 <electrohead> what if radio is ham?
03:27:02 * arch tries to eat vacuum tubes
07:44:16 <flyback> 2nd favorite is using bldc washing machine motors for generators
07:44:29 <flyback> they can get like 500-1000 out of one of those washer motors
07:44:45 <arch> yeah but you also need to be a semi decent welder/metalwork experience
07:44:52 <flyback> correct
07:45:01 <arch> because you'll have to rig up pulleys to obtain the correct gear/power ratio for 3600rpm operation
07:45:27 <arch> i have a welder, but i havent used it yet. it's gathering dust. i need to first drywall my garage. i think ima just pay a contractor to do that. i got the money

07:51:55 <flyback> yeah it's not the sexiest or most efficient but it's cheap as **** and easy to do
07:52:12 <flyback> just running old water pumps in reverse
07:52:16 <flyback> heh
07:54:24 <arch> col
07:54:25 <arch> cool
07:57:20 <rust_collector> run old water pumps sideways, and you will discover the thing
07:58:17 <flyback> pretty cool idea
07:58:35 <flyback> like I said some pump companies are actully supporting their customers doing this
08:01:49 <rust_collector> variator would work as your pulleys, I guess, then you can adjust the speed as you want
08:02:20 <flyback> or just electronic controlled water valves
08:03:21 <rust_collector> I guess, but that would also make less power, I think? but, it is nap time. have fun

16:27:28 <MrMobodies> Complaints I hear of over building roo many houses there and not enough parking. So they take away more car parks.
16:32:18 <MrMobodies> I remember that small car park always use to be busy.
16:32:36 <MrMobodies> "Under used" Yeah right...
