you can say "chimoora" instead of "cow of tailed snake" if you want. its a good pun.

i ramble about aerospace sometimes
I take rocket photos and you can see them @aWildLupi

I have a terminal case of bovine pungiform encephalopathy, the bovine puns are cowmpulsory

they/them/moo where "moo" stands in for "you" or where it's funny, like "how are moo today, Lupi?" or "dancing with mooself"

HOUSE IDEA

All houses should have an outlet for hot water, cold water, vacuum, fire, and music everywhere that there is currently just a pathetic little power outlet. Thanks

We also need a !!!spin!!! outlet.

Like, seriously. Most of what we use electricity for is Thing Do A Spinny. Fans, shavers, blenders, speakers, optical drives, toothbrushes, hard drives, vacuum cleaners, and more. We need a way to carry rotational motion from a central source to every point inside a house.

I have never heard of "friction" before. What is this. Are you telling me that

Lupi @lupi9/27/2023, 5:02 AM

we HAD the spin outlet

this is what they took from us

How does the fire outlet work

Kalli @Kalli9/27/2023, 5:41 AM

it sure does

taking notes on this

Pokey @tercel-enby9/27/2023, 10:48 AM

I mean you did used to have whole house vacuum systems. My grandma's house had it though I can't remember if it ever worked in living memory.

Dilong-paradoxus @dilong9/27/2023, 2:56 PM

I've heard they sucked

Lou-E @LouE9/27/2023, 5:41 PM

my family's house does and it worked really well, you didnt have to stop constantly to throw away whatever you sucked up because it all got collected in a container in the garage.
i used to put my lego people in there and have them get violently sucked down the tube

Tom (tired of the computer)@masklayer9/27/2023, 5:49 PM

ya I legit want to experience one of those sometime. Anyway there should also be another hole in the wall which you can plug into to get music

@warms9/30/2023, 7:43 AM

unfortunately the music plug only plays house music

shork @shork9/27/2023, 6:09 PM

no pressurized air?

authentic soft fennec friend brand fennecs @softfennec9/28/2023, 2:29 PM

i assume by "vacuum" you mean one of those systems where you can plug in the functional bit of a vacuum cleaner. however what if there was simply hard vacuum behind that outlet

My stupid hill that I will die on is that we need to make a standard family of "household power take-off" spline interfaces and then ban putting motors in consumer products. I already have a system for outputting regulated 0-1.5kW of rotary force with RPM compliance from 0-8000RPM (angle grinder, food processor) and I don't see why I should have a bunch of smaller, underpowered, failure-prone mechanical energy sources tightly integrated into every other household tool. Literally just needs a clutch in the powered equipment.

🌌🐈🐉@kda9/27/2023, 1:48 PM

I suspect the failure modes for this kind of system in natural disasters or construction/renovation screw-ups would be substantially more spicy than those of electricity.

That, and, for example, carrying rotational force through a cable flexible and light enough to use in something like a toothbrush or hair dryer, and then having a gearbox in the end device that can get it to the right speed, all while keeping it light enough to be useful, seems like it'd be difficult.

multioculate @multioculate9/27/2023, 1:58 PM

Practically, I don't want mechanical power distribution as much as I want a standard power pack interface, so that I can just slot an appropriate electric motor/driver combo unit into my small to medium appliances. The motor unit would have to be somewhat overbuilt to cope with the speed/torque range required, but you'd need fewer of them, so it might come out equally expensive. I envision a keying/electronic interlock system so that the powered device can request a given torque/speed profile from the power pack.
