Making a Clutch

I spent a bit more time working on the clutch and its control mechanism, I’ve made a rough plan of how I hope it will work and built a prototype with shaft, pulley, and homemade bearing. (more)

Update: Pulley Making Part 2 – Cutting/Turning

As per Part 1. I now have a working drill and hole saw that runs of an old computer power supply. I can turn wood with the same drill by mounting it in a vice and bolting the wood into the chuck. I cut and turned some pulleys but they are a bit wonky. (more)

Update: Pulley Making – Equipment

I decided the cheapest option (since all my projects try to be as low cost as possible) for me is to try manufacture my own pulley’s from wood. I needed to build/modify some tools to do this. (more)

Update: Modular engine

I was given a ‘broken’ Briggs and Stratton 095722 engine by my father, I casually disassembled it down to the crank over a couple of months, replaced the gaskets, cleaned it up was pleasantly surprised to find it was working once more. (more)

Alcohol = time traveling medium

I have to explain it to you over a beer. it works like this: I don’t remember most of last night, therefore, with lots of alcohol, time travels faster, because obviously I went from “sure I’ll have a glass of wine” to “woah I’m glad I took my contacts out last night!”

Whereas today, when there is a distinct lack of alcohol, in fact the opposite, time is going extremely slowly.

Its only 10:43 and I was an hour late, but it feels like I’ve been here 12 hours .

Do you see the logic? If my universe is governed by my perception, and I alter my perception, then the universe changes. i.e.: time goes faster  Let’s say you want to time travel 20 years into the future, All you need to do is keep yourself in a state of haggardly drunk for 20 years, then sober up and you will say “wow, where did the last 20 years of my life go?” followed promptly by “Sweet its 2030″

You might say to internet screen right now “NO!” because other people will be around and they will try and tell you that time isn’t in fact, going faster.’

But let me put this to you. If I believed I was a horse. I would gallop around and eat grass and be happy. Everyone would think, ‘geez, why is that guy acting like horse?’ But I wouldn’t know this because horses are not thinking about what humans say. Everyone knows horses are working on the Collatz conjecture.

I rest my case. Pyrocam for Nobel Prize!

Craunohap

Look guys, Craunohap has been around for a while. its time someone started talking about it.

Craunohap is Pyrocam.com

Also, if you were searching for Craunohap. I was playing through HL2 series again and came accross it on a hospital or something. I googled it and found there was nothing listed for it, so to see how long it would take google to return pyrocam.com for Craunohap I started plastering the word all over the site. it worked. one week later I was THE internet Craunohap site

turns out, later upon a closer inspection it says Ctaunohap not Craunohap.
