Re: 12x Murder Fund! (Complete!)
Here are the Zero Hour plots of our 12x murder candidate:
And a photo of the renovated Torture Chamber, ready for the Double Murder Experiment:
Or so i thought.
I gave the new Torture Chamber a dummy ride over the weekend, and i found a problem, that would have disabled the counters with time (the backup time recorders would still have kept doing their job, but obviously i want the main parts to work - that's why i bought and assembled them).
The expensive high current PSU i got to power the torture chamber with two diodes at once, turned out not to be regulated properly, and blew the capacitors on the counter supply, cos they were only rated for 16V.
It's all fixed up, the entire thing can take anything from 10-30V now, but until i get a better PSU, i'll have to power the Torture Chamber off my Lab-PSU, just to be safe.
In any case,
if we want to test 550mW, the current required is 389mA.
At 400mA, the power of this 12x is 559mW.
Boh seem like interesting steps to test.
Question is, how far do we go? At around 400mA, i feel like i'll have to monitor it very closelly during the first few hours of the experiment, just to be on the safe side. But i've been wrong about this with the first 8x.
I'd love nothing more but to be wrong here too...
P.S. I've noticed some peculiar things about these 12x's, that don't make much sense, but i'll explain more about this in Dave's 12x thread...
