L86[05:52:34] <Deddly> Fluburtur, I had a thought yesterday...
L87[05:52:58] <Fluburtur> tell me
L88[05:52:59] <Deddly> Fluburtur, you know how vertical winglets on the edge of wings increase their performance?
L89[05:53:04] <Fluburtur> yeah
L90[05:53:27] <Deddly> Would something similar also work on propeller blades?

L92[05:53:47] <kmath> YouTube - Unbelieva-bubble penguin enrichment at RZSS Edinburgh Zoo
L93[05:53:47] <Gasher[work]> its called impeller?
L94[05:53:53] <Fluburtur> planes not sure, but some helis have some sort of winglets on the tip of the blade
L95[05:54:11] <Fluburtur> https://www.wired.com/images_blogs/autopia/2010/02/main-660x440.jpg
L96[05:54:13] <Deddly> Gasher[work], an impeller is a very different thing, isn't it?
L97[05:54:22] <Fluburtur> but those are mainly there to reduce sound*
L98[05:54:49] <Gasher[work]> Deddly, i mean, the idea is similar - stop that overflow effect
L99[05:55:48] <Gasher[work]> some helicopters use it as the control propeller

L103[06:08:00] <Gasher[work]> Deddly, i might be mistaken in how they are named but it's just a propeller and a ring around it. Is that an impeller? Or rather, can that be called an impeller?

L336[09:32:49] <madmerlyn> battery solution, provided the batteries themselves don't require insane maintenace, works better because you just push current into them directly when there's overproduction, no need to move fluids around
L337[09:33:10] <JCB> I would love to see more house born production.. sadly, doing so tends to freak out major power producers.
L338[09:33:38] <madmerlyn> there's a couple solar companies in my area and they are doing enough business to keep going
L339[09:33:47] <madmerlyn> course the incoming tariffs could be a huge problem
L340[09:33:49] <madmerlyn> so stupid
L341[09:33:56] <ve2dmn> Sadly, solar is not 'that' viable up north
L342[09:34:20] <ve2dmn> it's still net positive profit over 25 years though (with the price of solar panels)
L343[09:34:29] <JCB> heh it works on my camper at least.. then again, its a small camper, very small power deman anyways
L344[09:34:30] <madmerlyn> it's still viable in Canada, just have to get the material and service cost down enough to justify it
L345[09:34:50] <JCB> there is a lot of hydro out here...
L346[09:34:55] <madmerlyn> not every installation has to be 100% self sufficiency, any decrease in grid demand is a net positive effect

L352[09:37:38] <JCB> what I find stupid is... a while back, someone got a grant for a solar instulation on his roof. But then the grant was revoked mid way through the instulation because someone next door got approval to build a house one floor higher than his.
L353[09:37:46] <ve2dmn> The city own a few appartement blocs and since they don't plan on selling them soon-ish, they put solar panel on the roof
L354[09:37:47] <madmerlyn> so they're already at a lower monthly liability with the added plus of using renewable energy, plus there's federal tax credits for having solar, not sure if it's just on the installation or if you get a small amount annually too
L355[09:38:09] <JCB> they also found out, the foundation was put in less than a couple of feet between from his own.
L356[09:39:34] <JCB> all the new homes in an area I worked in, have provisions to allow the owner to install solar heating panels on the roof at a later date. Meant, having a set of guide tubes that run from the roof to the furnace in a direct path for later installation.
L357[09:40:13] <ve2dmn> JCB: Heat Pumps are super popular here...
L358[09:40:43] <madmerlyn> I'm guessing if their monthly payment is $100 the $40k must've been the net installation cost, US Fed Govt reimburses 30% which would bring the numbers down a bit
L359[09:40:47] <JCB> ya I saw some videos, someone had a really cool idea of making a solar air heater for his basement using metal drain pipes painted black
L360[09:40:57] <ve2dmn> yet, people still heat up their pools... Why not combine the 2?
L361[09:41:02] <madmerlyn> financing a solar system for 30 years is insane though, I would only do that if it were a new construction and rolled in with the mortgage
L362[09:41:43] <JCB> foster family I got settled with, had a pool installed along with solar heating panels.. it worked. Mind you, couldn't figure out where all the air bubbles were coming from
L363[09:41:58] <madmerlyn> on the plus side, in US market adding solar to a home increases it's value by about 85% of the cost of the system
L364[09:42:34] <madmerlyn> so even in a $40k installation situation, if you decide to sell your house in 5 years the increased equity brings you a return even if the energy savings hasn't been fully realized

L373[09:45:42] <madmerlyn> one advantage they have over fixed systems is they're solar tracking
L374[09:45:59] <madmerlyn> so they get optimal exposure during the entire day
L375[09:46:15] <madmerlyn> and they'll stow themselves during bad weather and at night to protect the panels
L376[09:46:38] <madmerlyn> also can take it with you when you move
L377[09:48:13] <JCB> I still have my supposedly 150watt solar panel..
L378[09:48:45] <madmerlyn> why "supposedly"
L379[09:48:58] <madmerlyn> 150watt is enough to charge a gaming laptop, that's about it :P
L380[09:49:38] <JCB> lol.. was just about to explain... someone came by, a while after I had it, asked how old it was. 'well you already lost 30 percent of your capacity due to age already' .... wut?

L382[09:50:05] <Truga> i don't think that's how PVs work
L383[09:50:21] <JCB> I'd only had it for a year or so... its barely been out since i've had it
L384[09:50:21] <Truga> maybe he thought it was battery powered?
L385[09:50:50] <madmerlyn> PVs do deteriorate over time, but not 30% in 1 year
L386[09:51:09] <madmerlyn> most projections I've seen show a system declining about 20% over a 25 year lifespan
L387[09:51:40] <JCB> according to a quick search.. looses roughly 1%/year
L388[09:52:07] <JCB> its ok.. didn't really take them serious anyways. I knew enough about panels
L389[09:53:04] <madmerlyn> and they're like most electronic things, the projected deterioration is based on mean time before failure, you could have a cell that puts out 90% of its rated value indefinitely
L390[09:53:53] <madmerlyn> my old boss still has a 20lb 1GB hard drive from like 1990 that works, even though it should've failed years ago
L391[09:53:55] <JCB> or a capacity that works fine for 20 years, then suddenly blows
L392[09:54:04] <ve2dmn> improbable... but I've seen 15year old hardrives... so you never know
L393[09:54:09] <JCB> or never been used for 30 years, blows soon as it get sused ;P

L436[10:48:13] <madmerlyn> someone making a solar sail mod to visit exoplanets earlier in a career ???? Uh.. that's not how solar sails work.
L437[10:49:18] <madmerlyn> they don't magically go sublight speed on a strong gust of solar wind lol and once they got past heliopause they would start slowing down or at bare minimum stop accelerating
L438[10:55:51] <APlayer> Why would they start slowing down?
L439[10:56:31] <madmerlyn> heliopause is where the interstellar medium pressure is equivalent or greater than the solar wind

L442[10:57:00] <madmerlyn> so unless you stow the sail or something, you're going to start decelerating
L443[10:57:11] <madmerlyn> because the sail will now be dragging in the interstellar medium
L444[10:57:23] <APlayer> madmerlyn: Well, obviously a probe would fold the sail, or at least stop keeping it opened
L445[10:58:04] <APlayer> Also, can still use the ISM for acceleration in some cases, if you orient the probe properly
L446[10:58:44] <madmerlyn> a solar sail isn't going to go interstellar in any reasonable amount of time, it would have to do lots of cruising in system to build up that kind of velocity
L447[10:58:48] <APlayer> Can't sail "against the wind", but certainly can use it to perform course adjustments

L457[11:10:01] <ve2dmn> you move it around when the wind isn't in the right direction
L458[11:10:19] <JCB> ve2dmn but your thinking while being on the water, having something else to push against
L459[11:10:47] <ve2dmn> ok, think kite then
L460[11:11:18] <ve2dmn> if you angle it, the thing moves left or right
L461[11:11:41] <ve2dmn> and you can rotate the craft using reaction wheels
L462[11:12:05] <darsie> You can decelerate with a solar sail.

L729[15:55:51] <madmerlyn> seems like that would really constrict the flow rate
L730[15:56:01] <Fluburtur> but since it's an atmospheric engine and it will burn parafin and nitrous oxide I figured it would work
L731[15:56:23] <madmerlyn> granted the throat of a CD engine generally establishes flow rate, but that's usually a single point not the entire length
L732[15:56:29] <Fluburtur> the engine is made to be in the center of a plane and the nozzle at the back
L733[15:56:42] <madmerlyn> I'm not a rocket scientist either so I dunno, it just looks unusual

L737[15:57:12] <Fluburtur> nah
L738[15:57:39] <madmerlyn> that little throat at the end of it probably won't help flow rate either
L739[15:57:54] <madmerlyn> is this going to be some kind of liquid propellant?

L746[15:58:46] <madmerlyn> or maybe you do, I dunno

L748[15:59:09] <Fluburtur> it's been tested a lot but I can't find that much accurate info
L749[15:59:21] <Fluburtur> but I will do some testing and probably build a few engines to get a good one

L753[15:59:42] <Leveller> :D
L754[15:59:55] <madmerlyn> well the thing is if you have insufficient flow rate due to an undersized throat/nozzle, you're going to have static pressure buildup in the chamber while the fuel is trying to escape
L755[16:00:15] <Fluburtur> well the point of a nozzle is convert presure into speed I guess
L756[16:00:16] <madmerlyn> if the potential maximum pressure exceeds the burst point of the chamber it'll blow

L778[17:30:20] <ve2dmn> Just got home to the news that I can't use my fireplace :/
L779[17:36:52] <UmbralRaptor> Too many particulates?
L780[17:37:47] <ve2dmn> that's the new law, but it only comes into play next October
L781[17:38:16] <ve2dmn> no, something to do with building insurance... my next door neighbor told me he would explain later
L782[17:39:35] <Mathuin> I'm concerned that I might not be able to put a wood stove in a new house here in Oregon.
L783[17:40:20] <Mathuin> It requires permits, which usually means money for the town but not much in return.
L784[17:40:50] <UmbralRaptor> Hopefully it's in part to encourage rocket stoves over more traditional ones?
L785[17:44:13] <UmbralRaptor> Lunar eclipse January 31, but with annoying placement. https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/2018/01/22/10-things-jan-22-a-total-lunar-eclipse-is-coming
L786[17:45:07] <Mathuin> It's for health and safety reasons, ostensibly.
L787[17:46:21] <UmbralRaptor> Old style wood burning is apparently absurdly dirty. Like, worse than coal by some measures.

L792[17:51:51] <UmbralRaptor> Depends on where you sourced the trees from.
