Put air bags under it then inflate. Sit back and wait till it pulls out of the mud.

Ever played New Vegas, anon?

You're not going to get it out without draining the lake it's in and digging it out. You can't dig it out with the water still there, it will just sink lower and if you try to pull it out as is, you'll just tear it apart.

>disassemble it
Pretty much impossible, all the fasteners that aren't thousands of rivets have rusted to shit and will round off if a socket so much as enters its zipcode.

I'm currently cutting 36 tooth intermediate wheel. Sorry for the shit potato quality.

Here are the first wheels that I have cut.

Bottom Left: Escape wheel out of 1/4 inch ply. I was a bit scared while I was cutting this wheel since the arc towards the bottom of the teeth are hard to cut smoothly. Getting better every day though.

Top Left 3rd and 4th wheel from 1/4 inch ply as well. Straight and simple gears are east to cut compared to the escape wheel. I just have 2.5 wheels to go.

Bottom/Top Right: Here's the ratchet and storage assembly. It'll hold the energy for the escapement and pendulum. I haven't bought the spring yet and I plan to do so in about a week. I think it's a 60 inch constant force spring at around 5lbs.

You can make antennas that you can mount on your Van and then make it bendable using some hinges so you can hide it when you travel. Or you make the antenna extend up/down and attach it on the sides.

>whats the good stuff to use?
BeagleBone is a step up and doesn't require nonfree software to boot.
I'm super excited for the forthcoming EOMA68s so check them out as well.
Arduino's prolly cool, more diverse, specifically geared, and popular, so the thing you want may already exist - I've never used any though.

Can you please talk about your mushroom farm and process too though?
I'm just getting into this myself and would really love to hear about what other anons are doing.

>>1217129
Im using sterilized blocks of hardwood sawdust supplemented with wheat bran currently. Im thinking about switching back to pasteurized straw due to simplicity.

In the picture most of my blocks have a casing layer and I plan on fruiting out of the top although I think its just better to leave the plastic on and cut a hole for the mushrooms to fruit out of.

I noticed in your picture you dont have any plastic around your straw did you cut it away? Its better to leave it on and let the mushrooms fruit out of holes. It prevents excess moisture loss and produces larger fruits than many small mushrooms.

do you have more specific questions about the farm?

I suggest work with arduino, is easier of use and program, the most of sensors were made for arduino and has a support bigger than raspberry also very much proyects are on web with arduino and its humidity sensors, can give to you graphs if arduino works with matlab, labview or similars.
Raspberry is good, but is too much for your proyect.

Have you taken a look at http://www.ebay.com/itm/Soil-Humidity-Hygrometer-Moisture-Detection-Sensor-Module-Arduino-w-Dupont-Wires-/400985207745?epid=530629500&hash=item5d5c94b3c1:g:~ogAAOxy4YdTUlFG

Sonotube

>>1216755
Yeah, don't do that. Then instead of leveling a post in wet concrete, you'll be levelling a post with a massive chunk of concrete on the end of it in a misshapen hole. Just making it ten times harder on yourself.

>>1216758
>>1216785
Sonotube looks good but the bucket also seems feasible. Sonotube would end up costing about 8 bucks per post in a fenced area where it would take 16 to 20 posts. 160+ compared to 50 for the bucket. All you'd have to do is compact the soil and level it before dropping the post in.

It's my first "large" carpentry project. All I did was small sculptures. I was thinking of shit like the japanese joints. But I don't know any of them so maybe someone here can give me pointers.

I would be EXTREMELY hesitant of spinning an 80mm, 3D printed rotor at 30kRPM, especially with those cutouts drastically weakening it. Those sharp inside corners also reek of stress concentrations.

If you insist on trying, any kind of rotary tool or die grinder would work, assuming you're able to fit the thing into the collet.

>>1216174
What kind of g's are you aiming for? If I remember correctly microcentrifugetube centrifuges run at approximately 40000g max. Eppendorf-centeifuges, that is.

>>1216182
Yeah, I plan on doing the whole thing in a very thick steel chamber.

>>1216183
There are some epiies for ultracentrifuges that can go faster (however they are pressed against a rotor on their outsides. This design just holds them by the cap....who knows). I'm aiming for 100,000-200,000g

you try one of those underbed storage boxes?

I'm heading out to the store right now to find a rugged bin that I can maybe just put inside of a wooden box. Problem is that the wife doesn't want "a plastic bin full of dirt and shit ruining the decor". So I have to make it look nice.

It's the motor he links to in the description, I assume it's the one he uses

You can essentially make any incandescent lamp last forever if you power it with extremely reduced voltage.

Lower filament temperature = slower evaporation = longer life

The problem is that lower filament temperature also equals lower efficiency, and the electricity used to run incandescent lamps costs more than the incandescent lamps themselves. Therefore, it makes more economic sense to design lamps for high efficiency and short lifespan and just replace them more often. Long life lamps only make sense in critical applications (e.g. traffic lights) or when the lamps are particularly difficult to change (e.g. high ceilings, and traffic lights again).
