That would be nice. Maybe I wouldn't have to move tables around. Not that I had any trouble doing it, but my doc says I am not supposed to lift more than 15 lbs. Now he didn't say I couldn't eat 15 lbs.:D

It was good meeting you and evryone else.

I think it would be neat to have a rotor in a housing with an electric motor connected so that it would rotate in the housing sitting on the desk.

Humm, real rotor and housing would be pretty heavy, maybe if I could borrow a real rotor, housing and excentric shaft, I could create a template and make it out of wood with a small DC motor and put that on the desk.

Could you lay a ruler next to it and take a digital pic of it. I could then print that full size and use it for a template.

I can do that.

I was just thinking about it and if I reduced the scale to say 50%, I could make the housing fit on say a 8x11" paper and then make it out of hardwood. Something like Birdseye Maple would look really nice on a desk.

You might have to settle for a prototype. This could also get pretty time consuming as well. I have no access to a CNC machine so this will be hand made.

I also have another idea about using the excentric shaft to drive a second hand of a clock. Maybe later.

Sorry I couldn't go. I was up the night before making a crib sheet for my circuits quiz, which I got a 100 on anyways. Bragging makes me feel like a big man :D. J/K everyone .

Sorry ML about your stolen RX-8. Someone stole my boss' truck outside of work, in broad daylight, and it was Valentine's Day; he had just bought some presents for his wife, and some rat bastard ran off with his truck. That's why I don't even let people look at my car.

Exclamation Houston Club Meeting - Tuesday, August 10th 2004

Yup, it's almost that time again.

Our next club meeting will be held at Fuddrucker's located at 3929 Southwest Freeway near Weslayan. (see map below) PLEASE let me know you are coming so we can setup the tables properly!

We will meet in the parking lot about 6:30PM and head inside for dinner about 7:15PM. Be sure to bring your attention and thinking caps for this one as we have some interesting club business to talk about.



See you there!

PS. If anyone has some orange cones, please contact me directly!
