kanzurefenn: an oxygen generator06:07
kanzureso, how does it work?06:07
kanzureyou don't mean a tank?06:07
-!- nsh [n=nsh@wikipedia/nsh] has quit ["__+++___!!!"""]09:06
kanzureblah, I don't think I should be sitting around doing nothing09:24
kanzurealthough I suspect that this is an understatement09:25
kanzureit's pretty nice being able to bookmark stuff in under a second09:25

kanzure"Furthermore, the effects of the distracter stimulus provide evidence for a direct relationship between attentional effort and cortical ACh release."10:19

kanzureHey jm|earth.13:36
fennan oxygen generator pumps air into a zeolite-filled tank, causing nitrogen to dissolve into the zeolite, then bleeds off the air in the cylinder which regenerates the zeolite13:38
fennits low pressure, like 20 psi13:39
jm|earthhi. can't talk much atm.13:43
kanzurehttp://network.nature.com/boston/news/Q&A/2008/07/01/backyard-biology14:02
kanzureSo theoretically14:02
kanzureif we get 30 people to show up for our stuff14:02
kanzurewe should get into Nature?14:02
kanzurewhy don't they mention the projects in the community14:04
kanzurelike the biotank/bioreactor14:04
kanzureit's not like it doesn't exist14:04
kanzureand it's been mentioned extensively on the mailing list14:04
kanzurewhat the hell?14:04
kanzure> Part of the reason I ask is this:14:08
kanzure>14:08
kanzure> "Really, for digital logic, all we need is a relay (switch). But the14:08
kanzure> problem is that if you have 20 relays connected in sequence, you get14:08
kanzure> voltage drop-off eventually (obviously) and the circuit just fails14:08
kanzure> completely."14:09
kanzure>14:09
kanzure> Relays have problems, particularly they are slow, but this14:09
kanzure> demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of how you hook up a14:09
kanzure> relay.  If you have one relay switching the power for the next one,14:09
kanzure> you can put 20 (or any number) in logical sequence and the final one14:09
kanzure> closes just as solidly as the first.14:09
kanzurefenn: what do you think?14:09
fenndoesnt know what 'digital' means14:10
fennthe whole point is to regenerate the signal at each step to keep it over a threshold level14:11
kanzureare we sure14:11
kanzureI mean, that still makes sense to me14:11
kanzurebut it's Keith Henson14:11
kanzureand he might know what he's talking about14:11
kanzure"really, for digital logic" was me14:12
kanzuresometime in 200714:12
fennhm, i guess relays do use the main power bus, there's no build up of resistance14:13
ybitso bryan, what'd conclusions did you draw from "Equipment acquisition for homebrewers"?14:39
kanzureybit: lemme find/upload a file14:41

kanzureSo, was I supposed to double check if the PSU fits in the case before I ordered?22:41
