It's Saturday so I slept a little longer. Now drinking coffee and browsing the board. Not really up to posting, tbh, but postwhoring is not that hard.

I slept a little longer too.

Fooled around with kid and cat in bed for a while after that. Luna will always come and defend my kid when we mock cat-fight, if need be by slapping me.

Now doing something like posting.

I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

Waiting for this gentlemen to take his shower. A little nervous for him.
Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Being stressed out. Eating egg salad on a bagel. Thinking thinking thinking about wtf could be going wrong with my shader.

Just put the old man to bed....his cat is curled up next to him. Bathroom is mopped, kitchen is cleaned, night-lights are on. Waiting for my ride which will come in 30 minutes...

In the meantime, looking at maps of the ancient world.

I am actually doing research to support my new project, but I am distracted.
edit

I have a new design almost ready. Worked on it for almost two years. Could not make the math work at first, but going into thirds, which I HATE,  instead of fourths, it all seems to have come out quite well.

I am using two eighteen inch high power JBLs powering straight into a center chamber, tuned highish drivers do not face each other, but rather are offset, and each one faces into a "kind of offset cone,"  to distribute the pressures evenly throughout the chamber. Each facing pair is in its own tuned chamber, one tuned higher, yet below the center chamber, then one tuned much lower, well below the other two (two thirds over the size of the other - center chamber = one third, first power chamber 'two thirds, second power chamber = six thirds) with triple the back space as well.

This looks good on paper. 

SO neither driver supports the entire enclosure at any one frequency, but they both contribute to every projected waveform as well as does the center resonant chamber, powered by both, yet subject to niether, since each driver powers its own vented chamber. This might just work. There is no program available which can simulate this unique configuration, but I am satisfied that the total summation of all resonant chambers working t once will be more strong than the graphs of each one taken separately can show.

I believe that the center chamber, tuned to about eighty Hertz will act as a stabilizing element to the other two chambers, which are both tuned one third octave then two thirds octave below the combined chamber. I have a great deal of hope for this new project.



Now I just need to build one.

Going to bed....sleep well peeps. Or have a nice day/evening.

Congrats on your project DirtDawg, good luck moving forward :)

I AM NOT GOING TO BED!!

I am not quite ready to start sawing, just yet, but going to bed at four AM would be out of character.

I am planning to do some shovel-work in the garden, until the sun comes up. Then a bite and a drink and a nap or two.

I am retired!

I can do or not do what ever the fuck I want.

I am going to try to write in familiar words the things that the old engineer told me yesterday night about my design. I have come upon a really cool thing, but supposedly, I am not the first and patents are still pending. I HAVE NOT RE-INVENTED THE WHEEL, JUST YET!!

Apparently, the JBL engineers of the late eighties (just before they were all called off and sent to Mexico or Korea or Japan, then later to set things up in China and South America) had something similar in mind, but they had not come up with a viable solution yet.
My math works.



... but this old forumer has stopped me in my tracks with praise and his input.

Browsing on ebay for a few things.

I need some carbon tetrachloride for an Appel rxn (triphenylphosphine+CCl4 or CBr4, catalytic quantity of red phosphorus+R-OH-->R-Cl/Br TPP oxide);
Some THF, need to replenish my now empty stocks of methylene chloride, and I'm shopping for good deals on high voltage, high capacitance caps (450V, 0.5Mfd min), that recent post where I suggested to PMSelle a solution to her arsehole problem vis a vis gauss weaponry got the idea into my head to build one myself.
Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.
