You
could
connect
a
Windows,
NT
or
Windows
95
box
to
a
Samba
server
without
needing
an
ultra
expensive
Microsoft
license
fee
for
the
service
and
corresponding
the
other
way
around.
You
could
actually
think
so.
It's
there
was
a
world
that
yeah
was
getting
dangerously
polarized
think
so
so
that's
the
sort
of
thing
that's
a
bit
about
what
I,
what
I
do?
I,
don't
just
go
over
things
for
the
money.
I
I
will
identify
socio
economic
imbalances
and
specifically
target
things
for
their
fur
yeah.
A
B
Like
you
said,
with
the
only
68
thing,
that
was
because
there
is
not
just
the
right
repair
is
really
bike
to
repair
design,
distribute
manufacture,
repurpose
that
hold
the
whole
lot
by
splitting
the
actual
computer
card
from
the
thing.
So,
instead
of
a
memory
card,
it's
a
copy
that
come
and
you
just
shared
those
or
share
the
things.
A
B
A
B
So
that
is
well,
that's
what
I've
been
doing
and
we
have
some
business
partners
who
will
be
doing
two
and
three
wheeled
vehicles,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
before
we
were
once
weren't
left
out-
and
you
know,
there's
different
business
focus,
isn't
it
when
we
market
orientated.
So
if
people
want
this,
you
know
this
stuff
will
go,
but
no
story.
Have
you
heard
of
the
Kestrel
hemp,
hemp,
car.
A
B
Was
designed
by
Mason
Armstrong
1012
years
ago,
and
basically,
what
he
wanted
to
do
was
to
reintroduce
the
concept
that
Henry
Ford's
hemp,
plastic
cup
I
mean
using
modern
materials
and
techniques
I
wish
you'd
take
didn't
take
didn't
take
off.
It
was
around
the
time
of
the
app
territory
I.
Don't
if
you
heard
that
as
well.
A
B
Of
course,
now
batteries
and
Tesla
and
blah
blah
blah
everybody's
got
the
the
concept
now
so
yeah
I
love
doing
this
stuff
I've
been
wanting
to
do
an
electric
vehicle
for
a
long
long
time.
I'd
make
two
fails
to
do
so.
If
already
I
think
so
this
one
a
greatly
reduced
materials,
greatly
reduced
cost
I
can
drop
these
designs
from
on
so
onto
the
website,
ecology,
wiki
and
we
can
post
post
some
links
on
that.
Do.
A
B
C
B
B
B
And
basically
the
electromagnets
in
a
normal
magnet,
the
normal
Molitor,
you
have
the
electromagnets
in
the
center
and
the
permanent
magnets
in
a
ring
around
the
outside.
Of
course,
the
moment
the
the
talked
the
moment
of
inertia
is
about
the
center
I.
Think,
and
you
have
this
really
awkward
fields,
that
the
field
strength
changes
because
on
the
outside,
it's
it's
it's
wider
and
then
it
narrows
in
yeah.
C
B
It's
a
pain
in
the
ass
designing
the
the
materials
designed
for
the
laminates
laminations
for
those
things
is
a
pain
in
the
ass
like
an
axial
flux,
motor,
the
the
electromagnets
are
parallel
to
the
access.
The
direction
of
the
electromagnet
is
powerfully
access
and
they
go
around
the
circle
and
the
magnetic
field
goes
sideways.
You
can
google,
it
axial
flux.
My.
A
C
A
A
B
Mean
the
power
to
weight
ratio
is
just
phenomenal.
It's
you're
getting
sort
of
nineteen
ninety
five
percent
or
higher
efficiencies
that
that's
the
wrong
motor
from
eight
kilos
that
that's
wrong
motor
is
eight
kilos
and
it
will
candle
before
burning
out.
It
will
handle
thirteen
point.
Thirteen
twelve
point:
eight
kilowatts
take.
B
A
Web
open
source
WebGL,
you
can
explode
that,
but
that's
what
we
have
designed
and
he
was
doing
initial
tests,
but
he
found
it
pretty
hard
to
build.
So
we
were
kind
of
revisiting
where
to
go
from
here.
But
this
is
awesome.
No
incidents
here,
your
axial
flux,
I,
can't
believe
it,
because
that
is
apparently
the
more
efficient
easier
to
build
technology
right
I
mean.
B
Yeah,
because
the
belt
you
just
I
mean
you
can
do
your
own,
haven't
got
it
yet,
so
we're
gonna
go
through
from
its
yeah.
Basically,
you
can
get
yourself
some
electromagnet,
some
wine
for
myself
and
you
get
some
disks
and
you
put
permanent
magnets
around
it.
North-South
north-south
north-south
and,
on
the
other
one
south
north-south
nails
get
them
to
spin
moon.
You
can
put
the
electromagnets
in
the
middle
and
you're
done.
Yeah
yeah.
B
The
we
also
covered
in
I
ain't
email,
the
lrk
talk
max
design,
which
is
worth
mentioning
because
answer
people
are
sort
of
thing,
because
if
you,
google,
that
lrk
talk
max
what
they
did
was
the
the
number
of
you.
You
take
the
number
of
electro
magnetic
poles
and
you
add
one
and
that
you
make
that
the
number
of
permanent
magnet
poles
one
more
than
the
electromagnetic
pulse.
And
what
happens
is
that
as
such
as
the
in
this
diagram,
a
gif
animated,
gif
out
thing
as
the
as.
C
C
A
B
Electromagnets
and
14
permanent
magnets,
and
so
the
torque
multiplier
is
1/7
by
101.
7
service
are
seven
times
higher
7
times
talk
multiplications
also
as
7
times
speed
slowing
down.
It
slows
down
the
speed
of
the
they
saying
that
if
you
want
to
make
it
go
at
their
quotes,
normal
Co
speeds,
you
have
to
rotate
the
field.
The
sine
wave
controller
has
to
go
at
seven
times
what
you
would
expect.
A
A
A
B
A
B
A
B
B
A
B
But
the
only
thing
is
bear
in
mind:
you'd
need
to
get
twelve
tiny
electromagnets
into
their
space.
All
right
plus,
you
would
need
a
brushless
DC
motor
controller
and
they
do
exist.
I
know
I've
seen
people
who
got
them.
You
know
it.
You
know
you're
looking
about
250
watt,
no
only
about
20
Watts
was
2025,
so
you
watch
or
something
like
that.
I
know.
A
B
C
B
Maximum
15
amps
180
was
so
peak
peak
about
300
watts
and
you'll.
Be
okay.
So
that's
that's
nothing!
That's
nowhere
near
the
to
2
2
to
3
kilowatts
that
the
best
thing
does,
but
it
so
as
a
prototype.
If
you
got
hand
kicking
around,
you
could
actually
try
it
out
just
for
God's
sake,
put
the
power
of
it
bit
lower
than
than
what
it's
supposed
to
tell.
A
B
A
B
B
Yeah
there
we
go.
Oh
gods,
slow,
really
thrashing
my
poor
little
computers,
okay,
so
those
blue
poles
are
1
meter
lengths,
okay,
so
you
can
see
that
the
height
of
the
whole
thing
is
and
the
actual
set
is
one
point.
One
meters
high
only
one
point,
one
meters
high
by
three
point:
two
meters
long,
so
one
two
three.
C
B
C
B
B
Yeah
yeah
it
is,
and
that's
to
keep
the
wind
resistance
down.
So
the
reason
for
going
400
kilos
is
because,
if
you've
got
the
we
learnt
from
the
so
the
Saranda,
that's
a
50
kilo.
Electric
mountain
bike
that
just
happens
to
have
a
axial
flux
motor
that
will
take
you
from
nought
to
60
in
three
seconds.
B
B
C
B
The
butter
and
the
full
drivetrain
and
the
thing,
and
that
way
you
can
meet
100
kilo
target
because
the
the
actual
frame
and
3d
printed
is
only
about
35
kilos.
So
Moses
had
you
at
35
kilos
worth
of
frame
about
10
kilos
worth
of
Dacron
and
Kevlar
twine.
If
from
the
GA
boats
concept
for
the
canoe,
the
geodetic
knew.
So
if
you
Google
geo,
both
ejected
geodetic
canoe
you'll
find
the
website
describing
how
that's
done
then
about
20
kilos
worth
of
wheels
and
suspension
and
steering
wheel,
10
kilos
worth
of
grass
and
you're
looking.
B
C
B
C
B
C
B
B
A
B
B
For
simplicity,
not
not
at
this
point,
but
there's
certain
points
where
it's
it's
just
awkward
have
you
seen?
Have
you
heard
of
the
hack
rod?
It's
awesome
the
guys
there
they
used
as
they
used
they
they
did.
They.
They
used
an
AI
to
redesign
the
frame
with
3d
printed
metal,
but
they
used
AI
to
get
a
accrued
space
frame,
shape
and.
C
B
B
A
concept
they've
they've,
apparently
they've,
released
a
software
or
something
like
it.
They
worked
with
some
point.
I've
got
to
go,
look
it
up
and
investigate,
but
it's
that
proprietary
software.
They
were
really
proud
of
the
fact
that
it
was
didn't
work
for
reality
and
everything
was
the
first
car
developed
in
virtual
reality.
B
B
Yes,
well,
that
was
additional
panels
on
the
outside
yeah,
so,
basically
the
same
concept.
It's
exactly
the
same
concept
as
star
Kevin,
from
the
blade
from
divergent
3d.
If
you've
seen
that
it's
a
there's,
a
Jay
Leno
YouTube
video
on
a
Jay
Leno's
Garage
divergent
3d,
it's
a
650
horsepower
hyper
car
where
the
the
carbon-fiber
frame
with
pipes
and
then
aluminium
3d
printed
nodes
that
only
weighs
30
kilos
and
it
takes
30
minutes
to
assemble.
B
C
A
B
A
Here's
30,
yes,
here's
the
concept
when
I
was
thinking
about
the
was
wondering
if
you
could
do
this,
but
for
the
the
steam
camp
itself.
The
first
day
is
we
build
a
d3d
universal,
3d
printer
and
actually,
today,
the
Kirk
to
me
it's
like
okay.
Well,
we
actually
need
to
offer
just
the
first
day
where
you
I
mean
not.
A
lot
of
people
are
gonna
have
nine
days.
That's
the
problem.
Yeah.
C
A
Do
the
3d
printer,
but
on
the
second
day,
like
I,
don't
want
to
get
the
people
throughout
the
whole
program.
But
I
was
thinking
what,
if
we
do
a
prototyping
day
on
a
second
day
with
the
people
who
come
just
for
the
printer
experience
and
we
build
a
scaled
up
version
of
the
d
3d
universal.
So
instead
of
6x6,
we
do
a
12
by
12.
C
A
C
A
A
C
A
B
A
B
Hypothetically,
yes,
if
I
other
thing,
I
was
so
message
to
my
partner
and
and
get
a
term
I
think
she
does
like
to
find
the
best
and
cheapest
prices
etc
settled
lessor,
so
they
actually
have
to
call
trying
to
realize
to
to
change
the
ticket.
These
sort
can't
do
it
by
the
website,
so
yeah
practical
details
in
in
the
way
lets
them.
Let's
do
that!
No
next
couple
of
days,
yeah
yeah.
B
A
C
C
A
B
B
B
C
B
B
B
A
C
A
C
A
A
You
know
300
by
300.
Millimeter
is
still
not
large,
but
yeah.
This
stuff
that
we're
doing
I
mean
it's
completely
scalable.
So
one
of
the
outcomes
is
I
was
thinking
the
next
steam
camp.
We
do
on
there's
the
filament
making
and
the
larger
printers,
because
now
we're
talking
about
okay.
Let's
do
this
and
actually
started
designing
the
high
temperature
heated
bed
just
simply
with
firebrick
in
it
for
178
c-max,
continuous
temperature,
so
I'm.
A
C
A
B
C
B
So
it
but
getting
hold
of
carbon
fiber
cubes,
where
it
suddenly
occurred
to
me
a
couple
days
ago
when
we're
talking
about
it,
you
could
set
up
that
page
at
preliminary
page
with
wrapping
wrapping
kevlar
filament
on
a
CNC
machine
and
doing
cross
hat.
So
you
go
one
way
with
the
Kevlar
wrap
it
onto
the
Kevlar
filament
onto
this
onto
the
thing,
then,
come
back
again
all
right
with
the
bobbin
just
edit
round
thing,
and
do
that
several
times
to
get
a
crosshatch
on
on
earth
form
using
the
CNC
lathes
to
turn.
B
It's
unique!
The
thing
is
that
the
technique
of
which
were
sawed
in
line.
You
pointed
me
at
that
fiber
reinforced
plastic
thing
website
and
it
had
at
the
bottom.
It
has
something
about
continuous
fiber
and
the
process
for
doing
that,
and
the
3d
printed
design
fact
look
horribly
complicated,
but
one
of
the
things,
our
unique
three-dimensional
things
of
doing
a
CNC
version
is
that
the
bobbin
with
me
are
we
making
pipes
is
that
it
is
uniquely
easy
to
do
so
to
start
the
machine.
B
You
just
need
one,
but
one
x
axis
thing
going
backwards
and
forwards,
while
the
CNC
thing
is
doing
the
turning
yeah
Mary
avoids
and
then
this
do
basically
a
3d
printer
backwards
or
forwards,
and
the
z-axis
so
said
axis
and
an
x
axis
up
and
down
on
that
and
the
CNC
again
turns
the
thing.
So
you
can
put
the
plastic
on
top
right.
You
can't
do
that
kind
of
thing,
whether
it's
too
complicated
to
do
with
the
thing
we
discuss
some
ideas
about
that.
A
B
B
Yeah
yeah
I
probably
actually
do
a
manual
program
of
coke,
of
creating
the
g-code
by
hand
and
then
drop
it
in
to
Marlon
yeah.
You
need
one
too
three
four.
You
need
four
axes,
one
for
the
CNC,
you
one
for
the
bobbing
backwards
or
forwards;
one
foot
and
two
one
for
the
z-axis
and
one
for
the
3d
points
at
left
and
right.
So
it
would
be
a
4
axis
controller.
C
C
B
B
B
And
things
have
marginally
improved
since
then,
but
I
spent
three
hours
doing
a
layout
for
ddr3
layouts
using
key
said
saved
it
open
it
up
and
it
deleted
all
of
it.
I
went
what
the
hell
and
I
got
on
the
forums
and
went
what
the
heck's
going
on
I
said.
Oh
did
you
happen
to
forget
to
set
the
layer
settings
so
it
allows
you
to
do
signals
on
that
layer
who
said
yes,
I
did
actually.
Oh
we're
very
sorry.
It
doesn't
warn
you,
it
just
deletes
them
when
you
save
the
file.
A
B
B
B
B
A
B
A
It's
good
yeah,
yeah,
yeah
yeah.
Well,
let's
keep
in
touch
we'll
keep
that
continue.
The
discussion
on
an
Internet
and
yeah
we're
great
to
meet
you,
man,
I'm,
so
glad
you're
doing
the
work
you're
doing
doing
libre
silicon
because
we
can't
have
like
we
say
the
prerequisite
to
a
Democratic
Society
is
yeah.
