Re: Wireless Power Nearly There

My pole saw is three sections and is supposed to reach 25 feet. If I stand in the bed of my pickup truck, I could probably cut a branch 30 feet high. Just keep in mind that the longer the saw, the harder it gets to cut something.

Or two 20' pieces of aluminum conduit? Then again if a rope is already there, why not use it?

_Electric_ pole saw, battery on the butt end, nicely balanced, easy to start a cut because of a curved counter-surface against the limb.

Sounds viable.

Then again if a rope is

Because you have to get the open end of the garbage can above the tip of the pole, which is ~3' higher than the top of the rope pull? (And then of corse rotate the garbage can around and lover it down onto the tip.)

Try that balance at twice the length. The manual saw uses a curved blade to make it cut better. Not only that, but it was free. It also has a rope operated pruner for smaller branches.

So, you're not a pool player? It isn't that difficult. No worse than crawling under a rack full of equipment to connect all the cables by feel, and get all on the right connectors.

No, I'd lose all the time to anyone with real skills. :-)

Perhaps someone can demo this sometime on a smaller scale!

If I get to feeling better I will build it and shoot some video of how it works.

People do this in their heads.

Showing them how to formalize it by writing it down on paper using a common symbolic language is a requirement in daily living these days.

Sometimes, the brute force method isn't the best method to solve a problem.

Oh, man. I sure hope no floppy drive slots were open. What did you get for retaliation?

Yea, interesting problem, isn't it? I spent some time thinking about this for devices used in hospitals which caused very loud noises.

There is lots of ways to teach that in high school. My favorite example is thinking about why food cans are the shape they are. Maximum volume with the least amount of surface.

I would have dearly loved to have had some introduction to calculus in high school. I never knew the word existed until I was told that Calculus 101 was the next math course to take.

If my high school physics class used calculus to do the problems, I might have had fun in that class. (The teacher taught the class by reading the problem exercises in the book and waited for some student to raise his/her hand and say a, b, c, d, which was the list of choices of answers.

These days any news about SAT score levels is hogwash. My nephew was allowed to take the SATs until he attained a perfect score. All he had to do was pay the entrance fee each time.

Even programmers have to write specs which require writing down ideas in a precise and cogent manner. I didn't use algebra nor calculus in my work, but I sure as hell used the notions of axioms. and I used a modified form of the Scientific Method to design and debug code.

Knowing the difference between an aspect and a bug that can be fixed was important.

Math education has become worse than that. In their zeal to "improve" the math scores of females, teachers have been dumbing down males.

My public library appears to be dumping all books that were written "for boys". This includes all the math, science, and hardcore scifi books. The problem is that, if boys can't access these books, neither can the girls. So how are girls supposed to excel in math and science if they can't read the materials that were written "for boys"?

There were two art majors in my physics class which was a requirement during our sophomore years in college. They complained and moaned but did the course and lab work. Later, when they started their own art design business, they discovered that they used a lot of the physics they learned in that class.

Unless you were lucky and got an SOB for a teacher.

You kids have it good; in a lot of our specs we used PDF'S to imply plural because we didn't have lower case. When write a spec, there is a huge difference in the meaning of cybercruds: PDF'S or PDFS.

Actually, no. They will provide you with all the answers if you behave according to their edicts and give them all your money.

Has it ever occurred to you that those caves were classrooms? Those pictures had to depict real things. Look at the arrows. They point to the places on the animals which would make the best kill.

Sheesh!
