That enclosure looks great wow! And you made it out of lexan? Cause if is just plexi it might be a little underbuilt for the impacts it would be expected to handle.

But lexan'd be plenty strong, and its made so nicely, excellent.

Now the movie of the tach hitting >3k rpm? omg ill cream my pants.


As well, Thane, did you see my post on the last page? What are you doing saturday?

Cheers

Thane is the Ottawa lab all yours? I'm thinking of going to a local uni and try to use their labs as well. How did you convince them to let you work there?

YOU NEED A MIRACLE - AND ENDLESS "EGO-LESS" PATIENCE AND SOME DUMB LUCK AND DIVINE TIMING!
NO KIDDING - I ASKED EVERY UNIVERSITY IN CANADA AND THE USA AND MANY IN EUROPE FOR YEARS TO HELP - MOST IGNORED ME - MANY SAID I WAS NUTS. OTHERS TOOK OR DEMANDED MONEY AND DID NOTHING (MIT, UVA, MSU, TA&M)

THEN, THE PRESIDENT OF OCRI - THE OTTAWA CENTRE FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, WHO IS FRIENDS WITH THE DEAN OF ENGINEERING AT OTTAWA U - MADE A REQUEST ON MY BEHALF.

THEN, DR. HABASH (WHO IS A RARE JEWEL OF A SOUL) STEPPED UP BECAUSE HE WANTED TO HELP (THIS IS THE KEY) AND BECAUSE HE SAW IT AS "HIS DUTY TO HELP" (ANOTHER KEY) AND THAT IT WAS HIS DUTY AS AN EDUCATOR TO NOT BE AFRAID LEARN NEW THINGS (THE BIGGEST KEY) AND THAT HE OUGHT NOT TO BE PAID (GET THE JEWEL PART YET?).

THEN, I HAD TO BE WILLING TO PUT ASIDE MY OWN EGO AND DOUBT AND GO BACK TO OTTAWA U WHERE I WORKED MANY YEARS AGO (UNHAPPILY BUILDING PROTOTYPES FOR OTHERS) - A UNIVERSITY WHO I FELT DIDN'T HAVE THE POWER ENGINEERING BASE WE REQUIRED - AND WHERE I HAD SOME BAD MEMORIES.

WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND IN COLLEGE STUDYING ELECTRONICS - I GOT A JOB AT OTTAWA U AND MY "BOSS" PRESSURED ME INTO WORKING MORE AND MORE HOURS FOR HER SO SHE COULD GET HER THESIS DONE ON TIME - AND OF COURSE BEING YOUNG AND DUMB - I COMPLIED - WHICH MEANT I FELL MORE AND MORE BEHIND ON MY SCHOOL WORK AND I EVENTUALLY
HAD TO DROP OUT BECAUSE I FAILED EVERY CLASS AND COULDN'T DO MY OWN WORK.

WEIRD THING IS MY NEW LAB IS JUST DOWN THE HALL FROM MY "LAB FROM HELL" 30 YEARS AGO AND NOW WHEN STUDENTS ASK ME IF THEY CAN HELP - I TELL THEM TO GRADUATE FIRST - THEN THEY CAN HELP.

SO - TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION - FIRST ASK THE UNIVERSE FOR HELP AND GUIDANCE - AND THEN NEVER-EVER TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER - HAVE AN IRON WILL AND A COMPASSIONATE HEART AND IT WILL WORK OUT FOR YOU AS IT IS MEANT TO. FINALLY IT IS DR. HABASH'S POWER TEACHING LAB - HE KINDLY GAVE ME ONE TABLE AND NOW I HAVE EXPANDED INTO HALF THE LAB.

GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES.

hahaha, all the rebuttals I can think of just end up sounding more gay, so I'm just gonna roll my eyes here silently instead.

Seriously though, if you could let me know so I can finalize my plans that would be great, I need to see this thing with my own eyes
