We acquired a pulsejet engine and SA007 decided it would be fun to try it out.

The engine is fastened to a piece of train rails to weigh it down and prevent actual lift-off. The fuel line is crafted out of electrical wire (with the wires being removed from the jacket). The air intake line is made from CAT 5E network cable (also with inner wiring removed from the outer jacket). The prototype fuel tank was made from a piece of bicycle inner-tube, later we just used a cut plastic bottle. The high-voltage current which ignites the spark-plug is provided by a neon sign transformer.

Actual phrases overheard during construction and test-firing:

* "This (electrical) wire is rated for 300 volts, so it'll probably be okay to use as a gasoline fuel line"

* "This piece of train rails will weigh it down sufficiently to prevent lift-off....probably"

* "With us being boardmembers, shouldn't we put a stop to this?"

* "That length of CAT5E network cable is perfect as an air intake hose"

* "Wait, doesn't this count as a weapon?" (weapons are prohibited from entering the hackerspace)

* "We *do* have the paramedics on speed-dial, right?"

* "I am picturing a couple of nerds desperately running after an escaped pulse-jet-driven drinks cart"

* "Anyway, even *if* it escapes, it can't go farther than the compound gates" (300 metres away)

Got it on Friday. Sorry about the dodgy quality, it's rather dark where I've put it and I used the flash, which makes it look horrific. :P

This is the rear of a voice patch panel. You can tell it is a voice patch panel because the cable terminations do not maintain a tight twist like data cables (ie Cat5e and Cat6) have to in order to maintain speeds and reduce crosstalk.

Current Hi-Fi setup in the corner of our living room is fairly simple, although maybe not entirely traditional. This was mainly on the grounds of how much a decent CD player costs and I liked the flexibility of streaming audio from our home network. The inclusion of a DAC between the player and the amp seemed like a good compromise.

Amp is a Cambridge Audio 840A v2. We'd decided to go with the "Incognito" multiroom system, and this was the best amp in the range. The only input (at the moment!) is from another Cambridge Audio product, the DACMagic - upscaling Digital to Analogue converter. And, the only input to this (at the moment!!) is a Logitech Squeezebox Duet; the handheld controller is in its charging cradle on the right.

The Logitech Squeezecenter software is currently running on my main Windows workstation, but ultimately will be moved to an Ubuntu server I have in the loft. The upshot of this is that lossless FLAC files are streamed to the Squeezebox over our CAT5e structured cabling, passed to the DACMagic over a fiberoptic cable, and then to the amp via Cambridge Audio's Azur Reference Interconnects. Speakers are a pair of KEF Q55.2.

The result is not at all bad, and integrates seamlessly with flush ceiling speakers in our dining room. Next step, I think, might be to upgrade the speaker cable, which hasn't changed since I upgraded the amp from a Marantz PM32.

UPDATE:

Music server is now an Ubuntu 10 based file server in the attic. I did also upgrade the speaker cable, so we're now bi-wired with two runs of 315 strand copper cable. Rest of the setup is the same and, a year on, still very happy with it. :-)

The air intake line is made from CAT 5E network cable (also with inner wiring removed from the outer jacket). The prototype fuel tank was made from a piece of bicycle inner-tube, later we just used a cut plastic bottle. The high-voltage current which ignites the spark-plug is provided by a neon sign transformer.

Network Servers at Data Center

We acquired a pulsejet engine and SA007 decided it would be fun to try it out.

The engine is fastened to a piece of train rails to weigh it down and prevent actual lift-off. The fuel line is crafted out of electrical wire (with the wires being removed from the jacket). The air intake line is made from CAT 5E network cable (also with inner wiring removed from the outer jacket). The prototype fuel tank was made from a piece of bicycle inner-tube, later we just used a cut plastic bottle. The high-voltage current which ignites the spark-plug is provided by a neon sign transformer.

Actual phrases overheard during construction and test-firing:

* "This (electrical) wire is rated for 300 volts, so it'll probably be okay to use as a gasoline fuel line"

* "This piece of train rails will weigh it down sufficiently to prevent lift-off....probably"

* "With us being boardmembers, shouldn't we put a stop to this?"

* "That length of CAT5E network cable is perfect as an air intake hose"

* "Wait, doesn't this count as a weapon?" (weapons are prohibited from entering the hackerspace)

* "We *do* have the paramedics on speed-dial, right?"

* "I am picturing a couple of nerds desperately running after an escaped pulse-jet-driven drinks cart"

* "Anyway, even *if* it escapes, it can't go farther than the compound gates" (300 metres away)

'Connected’ is the theme for today. I was a bit lazy today so I took an easy option and grabbed a quick and simple shot of part of my 'comms room', which is actually a walk in linen closet :)

When I built my house 8 years ago, I decided to cable most of the rooms with multiple ethernet ports, which can be used for both data and telecommunications to ensure that I would be prepared for a more ‘connected’ future. There is also 2.4 and 5.8 Wireless for phones and ipads.

As time has gone on my home has become more and more ‘connected’ with TVs, Xboxs, Playstations, a 16 TB Server, SONOS Music System, Cameras and other items all connected to the net and home network.

When I was first discussing cabling my home, I was thought to be crazy by some but I have to say it has been one of the smarter decision I made. The ease by which everyone in the house can share and access the net or share files has been a true blessing.

Here you can see the wire has been broken out/separated inside the wall and feed into the can. Notice how the CAT5e wire is routed down one side of the can - this keeps it out of the way of the Coaxial Cabling.

Here’s the makeshift connection test for one of my Raspberry Pis. I’m using an old 2GB Sandisk SD card with Wheezy Raspbian, my Samsung TV as a HDMI monitor (I had to unplug the PS3), a Microsoft Wireless mouse and keyboard combo, a borrowed micro USB cable connected to an iPad wall charger (10 watts, 2 amps) and a long Cat5E cable. ---The only issue was the keyboard. It was dropping letters and repeating others and that turned out to be flat batteries.

this is where i do all my hackin', crackin' and password jackin' ..etc (get your minds out of the gutter).

specs:

- macbook white 2.4ghz, 4GB DD2 (OSX 1.5.6, Adobe PSE6)

- 20.1" ViewSonic vx2025wm, PVA panel (yeah, no shitty TN)

- i1display2 monitor calbrator

- HP9800 wide format(13"x19") inkjet

- Bluetooth keyboard/mouse

- penguin stuff, yo-yos, NDSlite, ipod shuffle, other toys for stress relief!

Behind door #1 (what you cant see):

- linux server (ubuntu 8.04 server x64, no X) amd x2 w/ 3 gigs of ram used for:

-finch

-samba

-openssh

-scripting, testing etc.

-over half a TB of storage, (I dont keep anything on the macbook):

- mirrored photo storage

- smb share for all media (streamed)

Network:

- linksys wrt54gl, Tomato firmware

- gigabit ethernet switch

- cat5e all around

yes, I have a pink desk and chair. I love pink.

3x Cisco Catalyst 3560 switches, almost full.

Most of the ports are connections in classrooms (3 IT suites, a dozen regular teaching rooms) and offices; but some of them are older copper links to other switch cabinets but still used.

It could also be a bit tidier if we had some better cable management accessories but it'l do ;-)
