sharpspoonful Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 You are quite welcome. The more impressive fact is that for a little under a thousand dollars you can build one of these in your own house. It's a micro-controller, a magnetron, and a resonance chamber. The rest is copious quantities of solder and hot glue along with a generous heaping of duct tape.Interesting, though I''m not 100% sure where I'd source LN2 or LHe from.

Warshawski Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I'm so excited that I can't sleep. This feels a bit like the way Christmas did when I was little.My first mission? Gemini. Gonna put a Kerbal in orbit.Also, I'm sitting here with the Dovahkiin song running through my head (the theme for Skyrim), except every word is replaced by "hype" or "Jeb".Hyyyyyyy-yyyyyyy-yyyyyyy-YYYPE! Hype-hype-hype, Jeb-Jeb-Jeb, Hype-hype-hype-hype-jebjebjeb...(I'm too tired for real creativity. Sue me.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazingAngel665 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Interesting, though I''m not 100% sure where I'd source LN2 or LHe from.Welding supply store!We have a place in town (a very small town mind you) that supplies LN, LOX, and more. Anyway, all you really need is the cooling, you could probably make do with a bunch of piezoelectric coolers if you had really good airflow/radiators.

Athlonic Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Thaaank you! Oh, and the servers are still migrating, so I think it's safe to assume that we'll see KSP 1.0 later today.Excellent news !Server migrations usually took between 30 minutes and 12 hours,so we should be good for today.

BlazingAngel665 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Duly noted, good sir!.You can also salvage the magnetron from an abandoned microwave. Please be careful if you try this stunt! It will cook your brain just as well as it cooks your bacon. The only hard to find pieces are the waveguides, resonance chamber (probably need this custom made) and the software to control the magnetron output, which you will probably have to write.For topicality reasons:1.0 is taking so long to arrive on this Monday morn, it must be powered by a non-relativistic Em Drive operating on > 1 kW of power AND/OR KSP 1.0 has a large mass.

BlazingAngel665 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I googled Hypijuana. The only result was your post I believe that a qualified maker is still a qualified maker even when intoxicated with hypijuana. Out of curiosity, does a NAR level 3 cover electric propulsion? Does a NAR level 3 cover Jebediah for that matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
