Endless Sphere

I've thought about this a lot and decided to start building my own very high tech unit from the ground up that i plan to commercialize. Because this intends to be a commercial product, i'm gonna shut up about my design for now :mrgreen: However i can tell you DIYers that a lennox 20 x 20 x 5 carbon ...

I lived in denver and colorado springs in my day and can tell you the goathead hell i deal with in Utah is nowhere near as bad.

Fall is goathead season though. So let's see how your bike tire fares after then. Cuz that's when bike tires go poppity pop for me nearly every ride here

First graph is a bit older but i'll take it. Last one is a projection. Got better data? One interesting thing of note is that we had a global huge dip in all sorts of energy usage.. one would think this would lead to reduced co2 output and less warming.. but it just didn't.. Here's one from the EIA....

Sorry to throw things off track, and i haven't been following this thread for a while because it's been a lot of arguing for years. But ES has some great minds on it still and i have to ask this. I've been watching CO2 levels, ice melt, and energy use for something like a decade. Worldwide petroleum...

I never considered using a rheostat. A rheostat is basically a variable resistor, no? it would generate a decent amount of waste heat and must be mechanically controlled. I'd have to have the arduino rotate the knob with a stepper motor or something. This is the cheapest and easiest solution, but i ...

Yes, something a lot more hardcore than the HPA300. Check out the filter on my 'junior' size austin air plus. It's wicked expensive, huge, and also about 9.5lbs. It will last years, so when you're thinking about cost over time, it's actually not THAT expensive. https://austinair.com/shop/healthmate-...

If it's like every ohter "three speed" motor I've worked on in wall-powered fan systems, then it's an induction motor with multiple windings, and the switch just engages them in different ways. This is most likely the case, especially considering that the motor will not start spinning if you turn t...

Not sure if this is interesting to the ES audience, but i figured i'd give it a try. I live in the Salt Lake City, UT area and we have pretty horrific pollution in the winter and summer. We are not compliant with EPA rules going back all the way to 2012. There's lots of dust, wildfire smoke, refiner...

Okay, i got the information i needed. thanks.

Any pattern of what's been getting posted at the time? Like a poster suddenly gets angry? That's extremely time consuming and not worth looking into because taking action to remedy and prevent a future attack is 100x faster than going on a witch hunt. The results of a witch hunt need to result in l...

Well, you all let him get away with criminal acts in the past, so I guess you folks are just OK with it? Please save your conspiracy theories and accusations of inaction for another thread. I just want to know if the site is functioning the same for you guys after i have patched against this type o...

I was browsing the forum at the time it happened. Didn’t know what the deal was, but it was obvious that something broke. I wonder what was the point? They wanted to take the server down by overloading the database with SQL injections that caused expensive queries to run. It was only partially effe...

Hey all. The forum got hit by a pretty nicely designed DDOS last night. I went through and analyzed the traffic pattern and added some extra server rules which are quite restrictive. Do let me know if you have issues viewing and using the forum as a result. More particularly if images aren't loading...

Accutane is horrific. it's not unlike finasteride... you will look better.. but you have a high risk for permanent body injury.. a majority of people who use these drugs will say that it was not worth it at all. I honestly wonder how these products are still on the market at all. Keto cured me and m...

AW, that's an interesting idea, but how strong is it? Would you run 3000 watts through it?

Went to file the dropout a bit to fit a motor and design a torque plate around the dropout and discovered this upon flipping the bike over. IMG_20200704_170214985.jpg I'm gutted. The gashes from the chain are easily 4mm deep. I would call the rear swingarm structurally unsafe under motor power. And ...

I'd like to help, but I am having trouble understanding what you are asking, I guess you are sort of using the thread as a brainstorm, but I think the concepts are a bit too abstract. You're right, i will retitle it in the future. Another thing is, aren't there open source forums that one could cod...

Thank you for your offer and support. The forum software would absolutely have a life beyond me. If it is as interesting to the world as i suspect it is, it won't be hard to find other people to form a team. I've formed and managed teams before. The software itself is designed to be easy to hack on ...

Are you looking for the battery pack to be made in the united states, or the pack and cells also? Because we don't really produce cells here in the United States, aside from some military-centric producers ( IE you can't buy them ), and companies like Tesla ( you also can't buy their cells outside o...

AW.... im pretty sure it is a troll wind up ! Trustfire ?... 10 yrs old ?. ...yea, sure ! :roll: Indeed. i'd be shocked if one lasted that long. They're literally rewrapped dumpster cells. If they lasted 10 years, the application must have had an extremely light power draw compared to what the orig...

Very cool!!

Given the MySQL requirement, perhaps the most straightforward approach would be to leverage something like Ontop (see: https://github.com/ontop/ontop ) to provide a "virtual" graph on top of MySQL relational data. Might not be performant enough for real-time analytics, but certainly a tool that cou...

Hi Studebiker,
Your front tire looks quite large! What size did you use?
Thank you,
Frank

My guess: maxxis 16 x 2.0 tire. A real rarity though.

The largest tire i was able to fit was a fitbikeco 16 x 2.125. It was an extremely tight fit though!!

AW, Chrome, and it's variant that i use - Brave, remembers zoom settings on a site by site basis. It will work for you to increase the size of the fonts. Otherwise, with a big zoom, the 'workflow' will be only slightly better than phpbb, as there won't be any space on the screen to have 2 panes. Wha...

Okay, i've done some additional work on plotting out how the forum software works visually and talked to a couple of my techy friends about the idea today after our sunday meditation session. They like the idea and gave me some good feedback! I'm currently working on finishing the internal logic plo...
