Yes, it sees heat instead of light so darkness is irrelevant.  It is advertised as being able to spot a deer or person at 4x the distance of a driver using headlamps.  It is quite a narrow FOV so pretty long range, many hundreds of yards.  Here is a (shakey) video taken with this exact model.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l96g7yeT-XM

I've got a custom made Prestolite 9" electric motor for sale in bitcoins.  Modified by Jim Husted, the baddass motor guru, for EV racing.  The laminated steel armature is banded with Kevlar®, coils are wrapped with Nomex®, and the commutator is the beefiest in the industry (look at that shine). And there is the GE style double-brush arrangement and .875" solid steel case (turned, not cast), with 13 degrees of CCWDE brush advance.  It weighs approx 200lbs and would have no problem making 450HP coupled with a soliton1 motor controller.  My first EV had a motor not even half this powerful and could roast the tires with ease.  Asking 20BTC for this beast.

I've selling a thermal imaging camera for 8BTC.  This unit has been removed from a Cadillac with FLIR option.  Made by raytheon, the same guys that make night vision for military helicopters and tanks.  When supplied with 12vdc it outputs a standard RCA video signal compatible with just about anything.  This thing has a million uses from finding insulation leaks to identifying thermal hotspots in ASIC designs to checking a breaker box for overloaded circuits.  I mostly just play with it while drinking beer.  This probably cant be shipped outside of the USA due to its extreme awesomeness.



My dog Penny is demonstrating it with a few cold beer bottles for contrast.

Edit - I forgot to mention this camera is very popular for ghost hunting.  Not my cup of tea, but whatever.

I have this like-new Miller Maxstar welder just sitting here looking pretty on my shelf.  It has seen an hour of use at most, and that hour blew my mind.  I didn't know arc welding could be so smooth, the unit will work hard to maintain an perfect arc even if you are a little shakey, but the second you start to pull up it will sense this and extinguish the arc instantly.  I learned to arc weld using batteries so it feels like magic to have a computerized unit.  Of course the real value of this welder is the DC TIG feature, but I'm not a competent TIG welder so I cant tell you much about that.  Will run on any 1 phase or 3 phase power you throw at it, up to 480vac. 8 BTC.

I've got a cash funded moneypak I'd like to trade for bitcoins.  I have the reciept and can send a photo with your name and email written on it if you wish. 

How much electricity do you have to buy from the power co before they give you the rest for free?

You guys are silly

Wind turbines installed on a truck don't make energy, they convert the fuel used to power the truck into electricity.  You're better off running a generator.  Or just installing the wind turbines on a hill.

You need some deep cycle batteries and a good pure sinewave inverter, someting like an Outback VFX3524.  The inverter has a high capacity battery charger built in designed for operating from dirty generator power with possibly improper voltage or frequency, it would have no problem with your grid power.


This lets you make your own UPS but much, much better quality and capable of running your rigs 24/7 if needed as long as you have enough battery or a source of DC power.  And bonus, now you can add solar panels very easy.  Just hook as many into you want into your batteries, the inverter will only draw grid power when it needs to keep the batteries from falling below a certain point and provide 100% clean power 24/7.  It would even have enough capacity left to run a computer or something even with 4x avalon running.

Is anything supposed to happen after the walletbit bitcoin address shows up?

If you gasify your wood and then feed that into a engine running a generator you can get 1 kwh per kg of wood.  Plus 2kwh of heat split between the engine coolant and exhaust. 

If you have a supply of wood waste, or already heat with wood by just burning it, then you could get free power with some pretty simple DIY. 

You are far more likely to die in a crash on your way to buy the ticket.

No big secret, eBay. Sunelec.com also has good prices.

Now there are some 275 watt panels for $.75/watt plus shipping, which seems to be the same no matter how many watts you buy, around $250 IIRC.  So 2000w delivered for around $1750, 10,000w for $7750.

I've had sub 2 thousand watts orders of panels delivered to my house for under $1/watt, anybody who thinks they are going to build them cheaper than that is insane.  You can get solar laminates for $.64/watt right now and I've seen $.50/w in the past, which supposedly can be used without a frame. Or frame them, and still come out ahead of DIY panels

Fucking con artist. 

I'm an electrical engineer, you're full of shit.

What a fantastic quote.  

"Aluminium is an energy multiplier, they don't use it in spaceships because of this." - What the actual fuck man? The space shuttle was largely made of aluminum.

"When the Space Shuttle was first proposed in the late 1960s, planners from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) wanted a vehicle that would be much larger than any that had flown in space before. But the amount of high-temperature metal required to protect a large vehicle would have been very heavy and this would have affected vehicle performance. Designers chose to use conventional aluminum for the main body and to protect it with a layer of heat resistant material." - http://www.centennialofflight.gov/essay/Evolution_of_Technology/TPS/Tech41.htm

P.S.

check_status - I hate you.  Dirtying the name of a legitimate scientific entity to sell your bullshit notions. "It's true because NASA!"  It's a lie, you didn't read that somewhere trustworthy, you made it up, or you blindly parroted something another idiot made up.  And then you construct a sentence that conveys some sort of expertise in the field to convince laypersons that you're a reputable source.  Fuck.

It's not interesting, it's false.

Sigh.

You sir, are a moron. The worst kind...you seek out those who mislead you.

Now I have to decide wether to laugh or cry.

Sigh

Let me guess, you drive a big truck and like to text while you put on your makeup.
