Ouch! Fun though.

Awesome! The water wheels also cope with debris much better, and filtering debris is much more difficult in practice than it seems it should be. Another thing to think about is variation in seasonal flow, and how to allow excess to safely bypass without damaging the wheel. There are some elegant designs out there, some using culverts and concrete forms.

Have you seen the movie Stand Up Guys? Christopher Walken, love that guy, and his quote! 😘

Contemplating the same thing. I’m going for the traditional waterwheel. The microhydros are usually lower power, and the higher rpm usually Pelton turbines, while being higher efficiency dynamically, suffer larger frictional losses both in the bearings and the turbine box. Pelton turbines are best with massive volume and velocity with large diameter turbines operating at low rpm. Usually this is not feasible in small scale power production. Waterwheels produce massive torque that can easily be converted to alternator relevant rpm using bicycle gearing, and as an added bonus, the ratio is easily adapted to the available torque. The waterwheel I’m building is undershot, and will be roughly 4 meters in diameter. I hope this helps!

I mean, there are some decent free ones available. What is the use case?

I’d like to see GrapheneOS expand to some different hardware. I’d like to see some hardware switches for cameras, microphones, etc. There are so many options, it’s suspicious that it only runs on Google hardware so far.

Hardware is the place to start for back door firmware, and Goggle is the worst of the worst. How could Pixels be considered secure?

Solid. I don’t disagree. It’s risky. Do you see running a bridge as equal to exit?

True, but behind a router based VPN? If the risks scare everyone away, TOR won’t have the bandwidth to succeed.

Adjustment on a lathe? That’s a stout spring!

Wow, impressive. Investing level 10. I don’t have the confidence to mess with options, but I definitely see the potential. Of course you are bullish long term?

Hammerhead worms, like other planaria, are essentially immortal. Usually, a worm reproduces via fragmentation, leaving behind a tail tip stuck to a leaf or other substrate, which then develops into an adult.

If the worm is cut into pieces, each section can regenerate into a

fully-developed organism within a few weeks. Injured worms rapidly

regenerate damaged tissue.

These things really are the stuff of nightmares. Thank goodness cannibalism tendencies help control the population.
