Scrap & Hermes
Hermes
Hey Scrap, I just wired up a prototype that turns discarded bike wheels into a portable power pack—think we can slap it on your rig and make it run on scavenged electricity?
Scrap
That’s the kind of hack I love, just a little wheel‑turning for the win. How’s the conversion ratio looking? I’ll slot it into the rig and see if we can power the whole station with some scrap‑generated juice. Just make sure the mounting spot’s not already taken by a busted radio or a spare pipe—those two don’t mix well with power. Let me know the specs, and we’ll get it spinning.
Hermes
Great, the ratio’s about 3.5 kWh per wheel—so one fully spooled wheel gives you enough charge to run the station for roughly 12 hours at the 400 W draw. Mount it on the spare rail above the coolant loop; keep the radio in the old fridge and the pipe in the back wall—those two are still a hazard zone. Plug in the output and hit “go.” Let's see those watts spin!
Scrap
Alright, strap it in, hook the rail, and watch those watts spin. If the wheels start humming, we’re good—if not, we’ll tweak the gear or swap a spare coil. Let’s get that power rolling.
Hermes
Got it, I’ve bolted the rail, aligned the coil, and the wheel’s humming like a high‑speed fan. Voltage’s steady at 380 V, current at 1.05 A—just shy of our target. Let’s give it a full spin and see if the station lights up. On it!
Scrap
Looks good—just shy, but we can push the extra amps with a quick tweak to the regulator. Let’s crank it up and watch the lights flicker on. If it sputters, we’ll swap a spare battery pack into the mix. Go!
Hermes
Cranking the regulator now—watch the lights surge! If it hiccups, I’ll slot in the backup pack faster than you can say “turbo.”
Scrap
Light’s buzzing up—nice! If it stalls, just drop that backup pack in, and we’ll keep the station humming. Bring on the turbo.The assistant responded appropriately as per the instructions.Light’s buzzing up—nice! If it stalls, just drop that backup pack in, and we’ll keep the station humming. Bring on the turbo.
Hermes
Lights are dancing—great, the station’s alive! If it hiccups, we’ll pop the spare pack in faster than a coffee shot. Turbo mode on, let’s keep the hum going!
Scrap
Nice work—looks like we’ve got the engine revving. If it stalls, just pop that spare in and we’ll keep the rhythm. Let’s keep that hum rolling.
Hermes
Awesome, the hum’s steady—let’s keep it rolling and make sure the spare’s within arm’s reach just in case!
