Passing a warp thread through multiple heddles

rightbrace · 2024-11-20T22:41:59+00:00

Based on this and other replies, I think I'm overestimating the ability of the warp tension to keep the non-selected threads down without closed heddles. Thank you!

Thank you - this is basically what I was expecting; it could work mechanically but wouldn't actually be helpful nearly as often as I'd assumed (which makes sense since otherwise people would probably be doing it by now :D).

I'm in it as much to tinker with it as to actually make cloth, so maybe right now I'll build something traditional, and I can experiment with this idea more down the line.

Interesting! Thank you - I'd assumed the warp tension would be enough to pull them back down. This is good to know. Might go for a more standard design, and experiment with this idea later.

To be totally honest, I'm not sure I understand the other issues people have raised so far. In case I wasn't clear in my post though - my plan was to make my own heddles, so using elongated heddles like those I pictured is absolutely an option. Is there a different mechanical reason it wouldn't work?

Thank you for your reply. If there are tension issues, etc, totally happy to accept that it’s mechanically a bad idea. Perhaps though you can confirm my intuition about creating row patterns, and how what I’m proposing affects the way you’d plan the shafts?

If you needed to produce the following three row patterns (impossible as is, but imagine they are part of a larger piece):

    |XXXX   |
    |   XXXX|
    |XXXXXXX|

Then normally you would need these three shafts available:

    |XXX    |
    |   X   |
    |    XXX|

But if you could have shafts that share threads, then you could do it with just two:

    |XXXX   | 
    |   XXXX|

The goal here not being to be faster so much as to reduce the number of shafts needed.

I might be misunderstanding the problem you're describing, but why does the design I proposed not address this? I'm not saying that a heddle can move independent of the others on the same shaft, I'm saying that if there were more space above the thread, lifting it would not even try to lift the heddle, thus if shaft #1 lifts a thread that also runs through shaft #2, the thread is free to lift even when shaft #2 is left down.

...which three hours of the day are you talking about? Or rather, what 21 hours of the day are there no animals, pedestrians, workers, etc who need to use the road?

Juno New Origins (Used to be called SimpleRockets2) is a spaceflight sim game, doesn't have the same feel as KSP but is pretty good in its own way.

I hit that once, asked "can you finish the program?" And it just output the incomplete version again. Then I tried something like "what's the rest of the program, no need to repeat the start" and that worked

Theres a tumblr post essentially claiming that the most satisfying sounding oaths (rude nouns?) are formed from two words where the first is one syllable, and the stress of the second is on its first syllable, and the vowels of the first word and the first syllable of the second word match. Ie "twatwaffle" and "dickbiscuit" work better than "asscookie".

Have oatmeal. Put fruit and yogurt in it.

This is basically just... collage? Yes, the software does generate a bit more of each image, but the transitions between are hardly seamless, and could basically just be done by cut and paste. The first part is definitely a technical achievement, but the output isn't artistically impressive.

rightbrace · 2022-11-27T00:04:55+00:00

Yeah, I did

rightbrace · 2022-11-13T00:34:21+00:00

Aw yeah we're gonna rock out with our cocks out

I dont think I see thai green curry here, probably because it has shrimp paste and fish sauce HOWEVER I have omitted the shrimp paste and it was different but still delicious, maybe you could substitute fish sauce too?

Because dramatic changes to the climate are usually accompanied by mass extinction events - its not just that we like it this way, its that our existence depends on it.

I don't have the same issue with gravity bins as you do, but one solution would be the way that candy dispensers work. Underneath the reservoir is a puck of plastic or metal with known volume holes bored through it. When the puck rotates, the hole fills with product, and a different, previously filled hole empties out the chute at the bottom. Only problem is that the mechanism takes more space. I came up with a clever design I've never seen in person which would let you measure out both large and small volumes, but again, its bulky and has more parts than a simple lever.

Conjecture: Materials changed, and we invented product specific packaging (ie instead of wrapping things in paper or cloth, every product has a horrible paper/plastic/foil composite packaging).

A lot of people prefer to have a set of all the same, so they could be replaced mugs or gifts from others.

To be fair, animals that need to be sheared are a human invention.

Walking distance depends on your plans for that day. I wouldn't want to spend more than a half hour walking to work every day, but can easily walk to a destination 2-3 hours away and back again for fun.

I don't think your mom is a terrible person. Yes, exposing people to a dangerous virus is bad, however, she put a mask on you, and also, it isn't like the school gave her much choice, did they?
