• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Check out this cool and very unusual motor...

I'm failing to see an output shaft. With the installation of all those permanent magnets; it very much seems to be a generator for use of electric motors. A very promising 'hybrid' solution.

it has two points it rotates on so ether of those could be outputs.

On the propane powered video, I see a starter and a flywheel. Output would be there? :excuseme: same as a typical car engine.

I'm just curious if combustion was established or they just used the pressure & volume of the propane feed to demonstrate. Didn't sound loud enough for combustion to be happening. More like a pneumatic sound.
