Capstone #7: Popping breakers

<-<- FIRST || <- PREV || NEXT ->

Welcome back to post holiday development! Not an outstanding amount of work got done over Christmas/New years/even my birthday, but there's been plenty updates since those ended. It's build/testing time so lets kick it off with a topic I'm excited/dreading about. Maybe someone has some input... The power situation is under the cut!

The power situation sucks. You'd think it'd be easy to plug in some little drone fans into a wall outlet and call it a day. WRONG. These fucking things might only take 14.8v, but they eat 56 amps. That's 830 gluttonous watts each, or the same amount as a small microwave! And have you ever TRIED turning on any other appliances while the microwave is running? It pops a breaker then you got to make the walk of shame to the breaker box because your dumbass wanted to make coffee with your 3 day old reheated pizza.

TL;DR That's a lot of damage

-----

And we need 2 of those... A typical outlet would have 120v, 15amps at the low end and 20amps if you're lucky, so we got to spec for 15. That means we got 120x15=1800 watts to work with. 2 fans at max load is 1660. + any other electronics we have like electromagnets, circuit boards, and motors.

This shit sucks.

It's so close to working and there is such a small margin for error. Every gram and watt counts.

So lets pretend to be engineers and solve the problem of, so how do we power it?

The first plan was a 12v psu per fan. We were lucky to have found a unicorn psu that does 12v @ 66amps. That was literally the best we could do for off the shelf stuff. We're finally in the market to change that out of fear 66amps isn't enough head room for the 56amp fans. And if we can get something closer to the 14.8v that'd be even better.

Our options now are to make a power supply our selves, which can give us the exact 14.8v, OR we had the genius idea of a pc power supply! Kinda sneaky if you ask me. Because as it turns out something like a pc power supply first turns the 120v into 12v, then further splits that up into 3.3, 5, and -12v. Which means if you get a 1000W psu, up stream on the 12v rail is rated for that 1000W! That's 83amps bb. Do we really expect to pull 83amps on each fan? Ofc not. But the higher amp rating is what we're after to not have a failure.

My dad (another trust worthy source) isn't confident a pc psu will be suitable, because to pull high amperage from the 12v, you might need to pull high amperage from the 5v to comfort the psu and let it know it's OK to output 56amps through the 12 v. Which means pulling even more than 56amps, and not having the breaker room to support it. BUT with a little hacking, I think we can persuade the psu to do it. (Many people suggest not opening pc psu's.... but I'm quite confident in my hacking skills, sooooooo >_>). I've done something similar before. Maybe that's good enough to do it again? (Everything is easy, in theory)

My previous use case for a hacked psu was this gem, where I cut the extra wires, tied the green one to ground(? (don't trust me on that, it's been a long time)), and used 1 of each of the other rails for a workbench psu.

I would like to submit two gems from an alien fucking romance written by someone who is, based on the name and bio in the book, a woman:

"Mine," he grunted, the end of his slanted cock and its soft, hooked tip hitting her cervix and battering against it, forcing her body to give in, to surrender to him and adjust.

and

His soft, hooked tip hit her cervix, pushing it aside as he sought more depth, cramming his dick up into her as deep as it could get.

I’m reading bad sex awards finalists across the years

This reminds me of The Power of the Strength of the Heart by Bobby Fingers (which you need to listen to right away, it is on both Spotify and Audible and might also be available in print but...it is a masterpiece and made me cry laughing).

The things we find on the Internet fill me with hope… and disgust. Lots of disgust.

[julykings]

rlly struggling lately to make art, almost feeling a fear surrounding it that of course is directly connected to “internet success” like deep down that kind of thing does not matter does not fulfill my soul etc but of course feels so important for my career.. but how important can it be if it prevents me from doing any real creating or searching exploring experimenting etc… almost like the fear of disappointing others only leads to me disappointing myself. Or whatever. and obviously the answer is to stop looking at instagram lol
