My Most Wacky Electronic Design Ideas

Yep,sorry, All done,

Maybe a video enhanced burger flipper tester?

------ Heyyy... that'll come in handy when all the McDonald's turn into giant fully automated vending machines. :)

Found them at the mall at around $4. They're even tri-color so they fade between colors.Amusing but my wife won't wear them. The microcontroller controlling it must be tiny! And I don't see anywhere to insert/replace batteries so they probably die once the juice runs out.

Don't you get National Geographic or Discovery Channel? That's how people study bats whales etc. More interesting than ultrasonic donwconverter is an infrasonic upconverter to listen to elephant long distant calls.

I'd do this with OLED, especially the kind manufactured using modified bubble-jet printers. Then you get "glowing walls" lighting as well as changing colors.

How about something for roaches?

------------ Checked link.. :) I wonder if the dead bugs keep shorting out the electrode and it allows other bugs to pass safely. Sacrifices for the species...

It'll be great to put on the floor in the washroom by the shower :) D

They short it out for a while but quickly dessicate and operation is restored. Many roaches just get legs blown off from muscle contraction.

Fun to watch.

Seen it.

Yep, can get them in the $2 shops

2-3 magazines have carried this as a project, I have a copy of one somewhere.

Have not seen this one, it would be good.

Did one about 35 years ago, not with an MOT, but an big old radar cap, maybe 4uF at 10Kv, not messy, but very effective.

IIRC some crypto devices had something along these lines installed

Read several articles about this, I don't know if it's on-the-shelf anywhere though.

---------------- About the Exotic Dancer Lighting Effect

Did it look cool with the laser light beamed into the water plumbing? Did all the shower water streams glow all the way up to the dancer? Did the water/light splashing off her look cool? Was it bright? Somewhat irrelevant but ...was she hot? :) Hopefully it doesn't blind the exotic dancers...

D

That's not so very far-fetched...a few years back I was asked to build a hyperspectral imaging system for real-time food freshness measurements for fast-food restaurants.

In reply, I quoted the famous speech by Nikita Khrushchev at the UN:

"NYET! NYET! NYET! NYET!" (removes shoe and bangs it on his desk) "NYET!"

Cheers,

PS: A happy New Year to all.

illuminated fountain streams are not new.

done before, except for the eautiful part.

kitsets are available.

I don't think flies have a high enough Q

at lower power, so less mess.

thermite might be easier.

dunno.

Bye. Jasen

On a sunny day (Sun, 31 Dec 2006 22:37:49 GMT) it happened snipped-for-privacy@comic.com (D from BC) wrote in :

Has been done.

For sale at many places as 'bat detector'.

Can be done with enough $$$$$$$$$$$

Go to Amsterdam and have more fun for less money :-)

Duhh, diamonds are a girl's best friend.

Yes, look for a vocoder.

I once came across a website of someone who made a floor with tiles with LED lighting which could be set to any color controlled by a computer. Just like to good old disco floors. Really cool. I just doubt my wife would appreciate such a floor.

Do we have to pay the employer for field testings?

Helped with designing the one sold at Home Depot. It's patented, not for the zapping circuit, but the scents of the mouse. It's a closely guarded secret for how they do it. We just get the black box circuit.

I designed lighting systems and boom-boxes for discos in the late '70's, early '80's ;-)

I visited Tektronix in Beaverton OR in early '81 (a year after St. Hellens blew its stack). Earthquake Ethel's was on everyone's must-see list. The show was run by a PDP-11/03, IIRC.

----------------- Exotic Dancer Lighting Effect Yesss the field testing would be fun :) And gotta take pictures too for documentation and the product brochure :) Oh yeah baby! "Now turn around...bit more"..:) . .......... Electric Rat Trap "but the scents of the mouse" ??? (from above) Do you mean mouse sensor?

My 1st temptation would be to have an RF oscillator design.. The rat would run through the feedback coupling circuit and a detector senses a disturbance. D

The roasted bug would be less conductive (more dry) than fresh bugs.

The fresh bug would always be enough of a less resistive path to bite it.

Make the thing flip up perpendicular once a day to off load bugs into a bin. Should also have a blank area in the middle to act as a bait location. Roaches smell the air with their antennae.

Only if you set up a camera, and grab us a video of you stepping on it after a shower.

Now... try the G-Force audio add on for MS Media Player. They also have a screen saver, but it is the ultimate sound activated light box, and you can even use your own images.

Naaaah... Lead the rat to a maze, and have it search for scents endlessly till its poor widdle heart gives out.

Or... Lead it to a box with a small amount of polonium 210 in it.
