jrayhawk$300 is a lot, but I guess that might be necessary in order to get people to self-moderate.00:15
jrayhawkAt least, in the context of politics.00:17
jrayhawkThe SA Forums also follows a 'pay a nonrefundable deposit if you want to be here' model. $10 has clearly not been enough motivation for people to keep the politics section sane.00:23

fenn Members of Silicon Valley Transhumanist Meetup Group, Your Organizer, James Clement, just stepped down without nominating a replacement. ithout an Organizer, Silicon Valley Transhumanist Meetup Group will shut down on March 23, 2011. Step up to become this Meetup Group's Organizer and you can guide its future direction!03:45

Director_Xgood morning.  I've come for wisdom.07:12
Director_XI want to use a pancake vibration motor in reverse to charge batteries.  kind of like a kinetic watch charger.  Should be easy, right?07:14
Director_XI need a way to control the flow of power so that the motor charges the batteries when the device is off (from the kinetic swinginging of the weight inside), and then reverses when the device is turned back on.  Is there something that would control that?07:33
fenna diode and a transistor, but i question your original concept07:51
fennbasically what you want to do is called regenerative braking07:52
fennyour swinging motor will only generate a few tens of millivolts at most, you'd need a ridiculously efficient boost converter to charge a battery07:53
kanzurehi fenn07:54

fenni wonder why anyone would want a watch that needs to be charged constantly07:58
fennmy watch has been going for years with no charging at all07:59
fennmust be the same thing that drives people to buy digimons08:00
ThomasEgiDirector_X, in theory , yes. but it wont work in practice08:00
fenner, tomagotchi08:01
Director_Xthanks fenn.08:01
Director_XWhy is that ThomasEgi?08:01
-!- mayko [~mayko@71-22-217-151.gar.clearwire-wmx.net] has joined ##hplusroadmap08:02
ThomasEgias fen said . your voltages are too low to do something worthwile08:02
ThomasEgiand even if... there wont be enough overall energy08:03
fennyeah, tanstaafl.. go get a solar cell08:03
ThomasEgisolar would work a lot better already.08:04
ThomasEgibut probably still not what he is looking for08:05
fennhe only wants the impossible08:05
Director_Xis that too much to ask for?08:06
ThomasEgifor powering motors . there is no real way around induction08:06
Director_Xmaybe a piezo spring with a weight suspended on one and connected to a mechanical energy converter?08:07
-!- mayko [~mayko@71-22-217-151.gar.clearwire-wmx.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]08:07
fenngo get one of those shake 'em flashlights and see how much energy you get out of shaking a weight08:08
ThomasEgia motor eats some 50mA08:08
fenna tiny one08:08
ThomasEgithose energy harvesting things produc 3 orders of magnitude less08:09
Director_XI need 3v, 95mA for 15 min run time08:10
-!- uniqanomaly [~ua@78.8.222.165] has quit [Quit: uniqanomaly]08:10
Director_X3 day charge time08:10
ThomasEgithen get a mini helicopter battery and inductlve charging08:11
ThomasEgisry4 typos. im on a new layout.08:11
fennhell you could probably charge a capacitor from stray radio waves08:11
-!- uniqanomaly [~ua@78.8.222.165] has joined ##hplusroadmap08:12
ThomasEgifenn.. which makes then thing run how many seconds?.. 2?08:12
fennuh, yeah08:12
Director_Xfenn, I like those shake light chargers.  I wonder if I could use a magnet-weighted spring to mimick the same effect?08:13
fennanyway, i dont do hypothetical engineering, share your idea or gtfo08:13
ThomasEgihttp://discuss.biohack.me/discussion/55/lovetron9000-content-warning08:13
ThomasEgii guess..08:13
-!- uniqanomaly [~ua@78.8.222.165] has quit [Client Quit]08:14
fenni see. inductive charging it is then08:14
Director_Xdamn,08:14
ThomasEgisame conclusion on my end08:15
fenngood luck trying to explain that, if you ever get laid08:15
ThomasEgiput a magnet in your hand and stroke-charge08:16
Director_XI have a magnet in my hand08:16
ThomasEgistrong one08:17
Director_XI pick up paper clips.  its not that strong08:17
Director_Xalso, it's in my left hand and I'm a righty08:18
fennDirector_X: you know you can buy a wearable version for not very much08:19
-!- mayko [~mayko@71-22-217-151.gar.clearwire-wmx.net] has joined ##hplusroadmap08:19
Director_Xyeah, but it ruins the element of surprise08:20
fennnot sure i believe the 40 minute run time http://www.amazon.com/Minute-Vibrating-Performance-Penis-Ring/dp/tech-data/B002UKTWV608:20
ThomasEgiunless you feel like implanting a fleshlight (pun intended) it would be the inductive way to go.08:20
Director_Xthere is a big market for these things in the body modification community beleive it or not.08:21
Director_Xsell them for $1000 a peice easy08:23
fennbetter have insurance in case one explodes then08:24
Director_Xcovered08:24
* fenn cringes at the thought08:24
Director_Xworst case senerio, I need a prosthetic.  god help them then08:25

kanzurehttp://www.adafruit.com/blog/2011/03/09/patent-overhaul-bill-passes-in-us-senate/09:36
kanzure""The Senate easily passed a bill on Tuesday that would overhaul the nation’s patent system, giving the Patent and Trademark Office more flexibility to control its own financing and changing the system to one that rewards the first inventor to file a valid application."09:36
kanzure"The change in the application system was favored by the large technology and pharmaceutical companies, which argued that it would put the United States in sync with other national patent offices around the world and make it easier to settle disputes about who has the right to a certain innovation."09:36
kanzure"Many smaller companies and inventors opposed the change, however, arguing that it favored companies that could hire legions of lawyers to quickly file applications for new permutations in manufacturing or product design.""09:36
fennmeh09:49
fennbusiness as usual09:49
fennthey should get rid of the 1896 style typography requirements while at it09:49
kanzurewe should go to libya and claim we're the new libyan people's republic's patent office09:50
