| 01:50.43 | narnia | dan_falck, knock, knock, you home? |
| 01:53.26 | brlcad | who's there |
| 01:57.05 | dan_falck | narnia: hello |
| 01:57.12 | dan_falck | brlcad: hello |
| 01:57.58 | dan_falck | I'm taking my family out for dinner... talk to you guys later on |
| 01:57.59 | brlcad | howdy |

| 02:09.00 | narnia | brlcad, so how has your weekend been so far? |
| 02:09.36 | brlcad | unproductive unfortunately, but good |
| 02:10.11 | brlcad | played Diablo 2 for 6 hours on Friday, that's been the highlight so far along with some Mac binary release progress |
| 02:10.15 | narnia | well i took a break from debugging express2html and began cutting down a box elder tree. |
| 02:11.03 | narnia | in between cutting the tree down i have been attempting to get the tractor started. |
| 02:12.28 | narnia | i think either the ignition switch or the starter motor solenoid is bad. if i jumper around the solenoid the engine turns over. |
| 02:13.17 | narnia | need the tractor to pull the wagon to haul the limbs to the burn pile. funny how that works. ;-) |
| 02:13.54 | brlcad | :) |
| 02:14.20 | brlcad | so splitting wood for sale? for winter? just to clean up the tree? |
| 02:14.24 | narnia | cutting a tree down with one good arm sucks btw. |
| 02:14.52 | brlcad | of just burning it all up |
| 02:16.39 | narnia | old box elder tree. probably fifty years old. big trunk. 10 ft tall. in august when the northern illinois steam power show is held we have a steam powered sawmill. i will take the trunk there to be sawn into boards. |
| 02:17.01 | narnia | the larger limbs are firewood for the fireplace. |
| 02:17.53 | narnia | the small stuff is for the burn pile. actually thinking of burning them where the garden will be planted. the old slash and burn method of gardening. |
| 02:19.23 | narnia | the upper part of the tree was hit by lightning so the tree is dying. |
| 02:20.33 | narnia | an upper 10 in diameter limb is blown part in the middle. it is sagging down on other limbs. |
| 02:21.52 | narnia | btw, no i am not using an axe. i am using an electric reciprocating saw. with a 18in saw blade. |
| 02:22.47 | narnia | using a chain saw one-handed is not recommended. ;-) |
| 02:26.14 | narnia | last year i lost a 75 yr old maple tree in a storm. i have enough finished maple boards to build new kitchen cabinets, a pantry, and a maple hardwood floor. i gave half of the maple to the kingston saw mill for sawing the tree up. |
| 02:27.10 | narnia | that maple tree was heavy. had to get a crane to pick it up and put it on the flat bed trailer. |
| 02:27.58 | narnia | the useable trunk sections totaled close to 5 tons. |
| 02:28.32 | brlcad | good use of an old dying tree |
| 02:30.04 | narnia | i cried when i saw the maple tree up rooted. it was a large beautiful shade tree. |
| 02:30.55 | narnia | i did not cut that one up. i let the saw mill guys with their two man chain saws cut it up. |
| 02:32.32 | narnia | the steam saw mill has a 3ft diameter circular saw blade. will saw through the toughest oak with ease. |
| 02:34.36 | narnia | have to slow the carriage down a bit but oak is no problem. |
| 02:35.12 | brlcad | i can imagine |

| 02:40.15 | narnia | the flywheel is huge. Flywheel: 8 Tons |
| 02:40.27 | brlcad | cool |
| 02:40.39 | brlcad | mine is about 3 pounds ;) |
| 02:41.00 | brlcad | not the flywheel, either.. ;) |
| 02:48.40 | narnia | i have wanted to build a small steam engine but never have gotten around to it. |
| 02:51.37 | narnia | you have a steam power show out by you. |

| 04:54.49 | [Prez|Kennedy] | talk Twingy... talk!! |
| 04:59.26 | Twingy | why |
| 04:59.32 | Twingy | I'm tired. |
| 05:00.11 | [Prez|Kennedy] | im watching mystery science theater |
| 05:00.12 | [Prez|Kennedy] | :) |
| 05:00.25 | Twingy | static test firing at 8am, tearing down neighbors shed, tearing down fence, planting grass, running to home depot, pouring gravel, shoveling dirt, running 2 miles, on 3 hours of sleep, makes you kinda tired |
| 05:00.41 | Twingy | here's a pic |
| 05:00.50 | Twingy | http://www.rt.cx/~justin/rocket_motor.jpg |
| 05:00.50 | [Prez|Kennedy] | ok |
| 05:00.55 | Twingy | thursday mornings static test |
| 05:01.13 | [Prez|Kennedy] | cool |
| 05:01.24 | Twingy | ~150lbs of thrust |
| 05:02.01 | [Prez|Kennedy] | how long did it last? |
| 05:02.15 | Twingy | the burn on thursday mornings test lasted 1.1 seconds |
| 05:02.28 | Twingy | this mornings test lasted 0.6 seconds with the ignition on the bulk head end this time |
| 05:02.34 | Twingy | the thrust output was ~200lbs I think |
| 05:02.40 | Twingy | it's an "I" class motor |
| 05:02.54 | Twingy | which is 320 - 640 newton seconds of specific impulse |
| 05:02.58 | Twingy | mine is about 550 N-s |
| 05:03.16 | [Prez|Kennedy] | would you call it a successful test? |
| 05:03.21 | Twingy | http://www.rt.cx/~justin/rocket/new/DSCN0602.JPG |
| 05:03.23 | Twingy | yes, entirely |
| 05:03.26 | Twingy | I have a video |
| 05:03.39 | Twingy | once I finish the log entry for the 2 tests I'll give you the link |
| 05:03.45 | Twingy | probly sometime later this week |
| 05:03.50 | [Prez|Kennedy] | ok |
| 05:03.52 | Twingy | I've got a mountain of data to churn |
| 05:03.56 | [Prez|Kennedy] | haha |
| 05:04.21 | Twingy | this motor is significantly more powerful than the one stephen went out with me for |
| 05:04.37 | Twingy | I ignite it via my r/c plane controller |
| 05:04.44 | Twingy | using a servo and a receiver |
| 05:04.50 | Twingy | that way I can ignite it from 400 feet back |
| 05:05.04 | [Prez|Kennedy] | you dont wanna get toasted if somethin goes wrong afterall |
| 05:05.25 | Twingy | yep |
| 05:05.29 | Twingy | I triple checked the math |
| 05:05.31 | Twingy | before I tested the motor |
| 05:05.36 | Twingy | and everything checked out |
| 05:05.42 | Twingy | and so far both static test firings are 100% successful |
| 05:05.50 | Twingy | this is a powerful motor |
| 05:06.00 | Twingy | should put my rocket about 2,500 feet up |
| 05:06.17 | Twingy | in about 1 second |
| 05:06.29 | Twingy | I'd guess it'll be traveling around 500 mph |
| 05:07.29 | Twingy | my next motor should excede mach-1 |
| 05:07.35 | Twingy | *exceed |
| 05:07.42 | [Prez|Kennedy] | cool |
| 05:07.47 | [Prez|Kennedy] | will it make a sonic boom or anything? |
| 05:08.07 | Twingy | no, but you'll hear a distinct difference in the sound |
| 05:08.22 | Twingy | more of a warble sound |
| 05:08.26 | Twingy | instead of a woosh sound |
| 05:08.35 | [Prez|Kennedy] | itll make a wiish sound |
| 05:08.48 | Twingy | more like a choppy warble / woosh sound |
| 05:08.55 | Twingy | it's choppy |
| 05:09.07 | Twingy | www.mdrocketry.org |
| 05:09.11 | Twingy | look at some of those rocket videos |
| 05:09.14 | Twingy | from "Mach Maddness" |
| 05:09.20 | Twingy | and then some that aren't mach |
| 05:09.24 | [Prez|Kennedy] | ok |
| 05:09.25 | Twingy | you'll hear the difference |
| 05:09.37 | Twingy | I'm off to bed |
| 05:09.43 | Twingy | going to NJ tommorrow morning |
| 05:09.43 | [Prez|Kennedy] | g'night! |
| 05:09.59 | [Prez|Kennedy] | ive been there... went to Newark |
| 05:10.38 | Twingy | I've been there too |
| 05:10.46 | Twingy | 1982 - 2002 :) |
| 05:10.48 | [Prez|Kennedy] | at 3 AM? |
| 05:10.51 | [Prez|Kennedy] | oh |
| 05:10.52 | [Prez|Kennedy] | :-p |
| 05:10.52 | Twingy | yes, 3am :) |
| 05:11.12 | Twingy | later |
| 05:11.15 | [Prez|Kennedy] | adios! |
