Stop torturing hamsters

>welding fibreglass

>>3756726

Okay, no more hamster projects. Got it.

>>3756734

No, you buy the domes pre-cast. I'd cut holes for them into the hull, drill holes through the lip of the dome and around the hole for bolts, and use silicone sealant between them to make a watertight seal.

>>3756712
Don't yo have a job or something?

>So, what now?

Stop being a pretentious faggot and get a job?

>>3756742
no no, fibreglass boat hulls

you CAN weld acrylic

Hey Mad did you test your diving helmet?

The boat idea sounds cool, but what about your hamster projects? Do you have any plans for them?

>>3756758

Yes, but this thread is about side projects. Any suggestions?

>>3756746

>pretentious faggot

....It seems like I personally offended you. If so I'm deeply sorry, it was never my intention. If you could tell me what it is I did I will gladly dwell on my own wrongdoing and come up with a suitable apology.

>>3756761

Yes, I'm talking about small aluminum boats, not fibreglass ones.

>>3756778

>Hey Mad did you test your diving helmet?

Yes, that's what the picture is of.

>The boat idea sounds cool, but what about your hamster projects? Do you have any plans for them?

I have to discontinue those, this guy told me to: >>3756726

>>3756796
where will you get the air to keep the interior pressure up?

>>3756796

>I have to discontinue those, this guy told me to

Well crap.

>Yes, that's what the picture is of.

Howd it go?

>>3756796
And this guy's telling you to continue.

Mad Scientist has the ocean.
Colonel Coffee Mug has nanotechnology.
I'm a fairly regular tripfag, do I have a pet topic that I am unaware of?

>>3756838
I'm sorry, I've never seen you before.

>>3756838

Can I have the economy?

>>3756838
>fairly regular

I've seen you post twice

>>3756844
Only if you're condemned to central planning.

>>3756838

yeah yours is being a faggot that no one has ever seen post before.

>>3756808

A bank of scuba tanks. They slowly leak out at a rate sufficient to purge CO2 faster than I can produce it. The sub would be constrained to scuba depths though, so no deeper than 100 feet, and no staying longer than a few minutes at those depths or I would need to decompress. I'd mostly want it for tooling around in shallow waters anyway.

>>3756814

It went fantastic. Everything worked like a charm. I experienced very mild nausea and disorientation at first but it quickly passed and I spend a total of an hour or so underwater. I was also approached by some passersby who had scuba experience but wanted to try it out and were similarly delighted. Two much needed additions; A scuba watch to tell me what depth I'm at, and a compass.

>>3756838
Are you 'for' something?

(I'd like to have Mars please)

>>3756869

I've seen fizx around, he's a pretty consistent quality poster. He's no Inurdaes but then neither am I.

>>3756712
Still no confirmation of you actually diving. The video you showed last night was suspiciously dated. You should've at least recorded a written message or something. It's also strange that you're willing to expose your friends/relatives/family publicly but not yourself. I suspect you dug up some other person's project video before hand and copied their design.

>>3756879
What the hell? I consider both of you guys to be higher-quality posters.

>>3756867

Nnnnooooooo!!!!!

>>3756874

Why do you think you got disoriented? The pressure? Did you anticipate that at all?

A compass? Is that because visibility is to poor?

>>3756882

Hey Bro

We'll build an underwater utopia by scavenging the wreck of the Seasteading islands.

We'll name it Aynrandograd to honor the fallen.

>>3756838

>Colonel Coffee Mug has nanotechnology.

<3

>>3756888

>Still no confirmation of you actually diving. The video you showed last night was suspiciously dated.

No it wasn't. I never set the date on the camera. I didn't know it'd be overlaid on the video as that was the first time I used it (I bought it specifically for this project).

>You should've at least recorded a written message or something. It's also strange that you're willing to expose your friends/relatives/family publicly but not yourself.

I was the cameraman. Also, there are intensely mean spirited people who find it fulfilling to pick someone apart based on anything they show of themselves, like this guy here: >>3756776 whereas nobody has any motivation to do that to the others on film as they don't post here. Basic precautions for anyone posting on this site, and you know it.

>I suspect you dug up some other person's project video before hand and copied their design.

I didn't. The concept itself isn't original, it goes back to the 1800s, but I didn't base my design on anyone elses. May I ask what I've done to make you so suspicious of me?

Now that you know it works, you need to stress-test it to see what it can handle.

Then you apply for patent and start producing.

I'll be one of your first customers.

Link to videos and shit

>>3756918

>Aynrandograd

>>3756949

Yes, stole it from you.

>>3756950

>Yes, stole it from you.

Yeah...

Well Im glad someone besides me finds it funny. Otherwise I just feel like some weird guy who wont stop saying Ayn Rand.

If this takes off and you start making some real DOSH, what are your future plans?

>>3756845
Well I've been here since the beginning. I used to post a lot a lot more until about a year ago. Since then my posting has marked been months of inactivity with brief periods of heavy posting.

>>3756977

Make more products. There are a lot of really cool technologies that don't have to be as expensive as they are, but which are at present because they're marketed as toys to the rich and there's little competition in that niche. I'd like to undercut companies making diving helmets, bubble scooters, and highspeed personal waterjet vehicles like the cayago seabob. There's no good reason they can't be produced for less than what they cost now, and I'd like to bring those experiences to more people.

I'd also like to devote a large percentage of the profits to the NOAA, and to the Atlantica Expeditions.

Physics major?

After you make your sub will you sell it to the Mexicans to smuggle drugs and child sex slaves?

I guess I should mention I'm not a girl.

What's frightening is that there does seem to be a pattern of abductions of people capable of designing and overseeing the construction of narcosubs. The most recently discovered was vastly more sophisticated than any found prior and designed by some poor fucker they had at gunpoint.

Pic related, latest narco sub interior. They're really stepping up their game. It's crazy to think that we live in a world where crime syndicates own fleets of illegal subs. Sounds like something out of a cyberpunk novel.

>>3757014
Sorry about the delete and repost, I had a major grammatical error and I couldn't stand to leave it.

And yeah, I just got my physics BS. Now I'm just a loser without a school to call home and no definite idea of what I want to study in grad school.

>>3757017
Oh that's okay.

>>3757037
Forgot my pic

>>3757034

If it didnt put you in any danger, I would suggest ironically naming it the "SS Illegal Drugs"

>>3756882
>Are you 'for' something?
Yeah, I'm really interested in-

...
shit.

>>3757017
There are ways around that

>>3757050
Mars is a whole new world; it's big enough for both of us.

>>3757060
No thank you.

>>3757069
When we get there, sure; but as long as we are here I'm nothing more than pet-topic-less tripfag that know one has ever heard of.

Also Kim Stanley Robinson wrote my Bible.

What is seen, cannot be unsaw.

Mad Scientist, are any of your threads archived? I really want to see all you've done, it seems fascinating.

Is that you in the picture Mad Scientist?

>>3756726
Hamster? Wait a se-
>>3756742
Were you that guy who drew up plans to build an underwater habitat for a hamster and leave it underwater?!

I remember seeing a design for that on some website a long time ago. Did you do that? Did you post a link to the website on /sci/ or did I really discover a fellow /sci/ poster's website independently?

>>3757109
How can one offer masturbation?

>>3757187

"Hey, would you care to partake in one of my fine handjobs?!"

Are you retarded?

>>3757187
You see, little Timmy...

You need to get to work perfecting your algae air purification systems dude.

That hamster shit was awesome btw

>>3757176

>Is that you in the picture Mad Scientist?

Yes

>Were you that guy who drew up plans to build an underwater habitat for a hamster and leave it underwater?!

Not leave it, no. Not permanently. The longest deployment so far has been 24 hours. And I built two habitats of different sizes.

You're right, I've been neglecting that.

BAM

>>3757233

Mad what exactly do you do?

Because I'm going to guess you don't go to school anymore, so what degree did you do,
(if you did one and aren't just some guy with a pretty interesting fascination with all things submerged.) and what do you do to earn a living?

HOLY FUCK, ARENT YOU THE GUY WHO POSTED A THREAD LIKE DURING SUMMER ABOUT THIS ???!?!?

>>3757268

Pfff. Not as good as The guys behind Copenhagen Suborbitals, they built their own submarine and Rocket

>>3757291
your helmet i mean

>>3757271

Those questions are too detailed. This is the internet. I'm not comfortable giving out that much personal info.

>>3757291

Yes

>>3757292

>Pfff. Not as good as The guys behind Copenhagen Suborbitals, they built their own submarine and Rocket

Oh my gosh, those guys are my heroes. :3c

>>3756844
The few economic threads I've seen you post in, you don't know shit about economics.

pass out due to nitrogen narcosis then asphyxiate

I'm with you, bro. Back in my high school days, I used to design backyard sub projects all the time. Later I was actually in the US Navy sub fleet and learned hands-on the principles of ballast control, depth v pressure, propulsion systems, watertight sealing and plumbing.

Turns out it's dumbfuck easy engineering, but you really have to watch your thru-hull penetrations for leaks.
(Protip: guillotine failsafe valves)

Looking forward to your future projects and thanks for being /sci/'s resident water rat.

Masturbation is by definition done by oneself. A handjob is not masturbation. Either you are too young to be on 4chan or I feel a lot more secure about my knowledge of sexual terminology when I younger.

>>3757292
Holy shit. I had never heard of those guys. The image of hundreds of rockets standing side by side from series 3 Doctor who finale is coming to mind. This has greatly increased the chances of humanity's long term survival in my eyes. I'm going to bed a happy man.

>>3757316
Oh yeah? Well from what I've seen of your posts on /b/ Anonymous, you have every mental handicap known to man.
