Qdot did I ever show you, like 8 years ago after some Arse Elektronica, my thrusting brushless linear motor based sex machine? I designed and built brushless linear motors from scratch as well as the drive electronics. Anyway I never made it in to a business and lately think I will open source it all. I was going to ask for your email but I just discovered metafetish, so I can post something there. I'll do so in a few days. Anyway I haven't seen you in 8-10 years but it's good to see you around here!

TAYLOR DUDE WHERE THE HELL YOU BEEN Yeah you brought it to Jupiter when we met there way back when! I've been talking about it again lately because more people are building machines and I was all "Man I wonder what that dude is up to and if he's still working on that machine" I'll throw you email at your address in your bio!

  Hah yessss email me! In 2013 I switched from sex toys to Flutter Wireless (based on the wireless remote from the sex toy) and my kickstarter for Flutter met its funding goal. Six years of continuous burnout ensued. [1] Now I’m largely recovered and working half time to allow for open source development like my off road robot. [2] Hope you’ve been well and looking forward to catching up more. :) [1] https://youtu.be/huOzokY_fME https://youtu.be/huOzokY_fME [2] https://reboot.love/t/new-cameras-on-rover/ https://reboot.love/t/new-cameras-on-rover/

    Wow the off-road rover is spectacular. My old roommate and I built one years ago, but out of hope, dreams, kapton tape and an iPhone running Skype (https://twitter.com/martinmroz/status/518511940675440640?s=20 https://twitter.com/martinmroz/status/518511940675440640?s=2...).

      Oooh that looks like fun!

  Is there anything more beautiful than seeing two old friends reconnect over memories of a motorized sex machine?

    Not just motorized but with custom built linear motors. Impressive!

Screw the sex machine part (heh!), I want to hear about designing your own brushless linear motors!

  Heh yeah I am going to put some stuff on github and I suppose make a YouTube video about it. You can read the patent I filed though. I don’t think patents are cool anymore but at the time I was a lifelong goal: https://patents.google.com/patent/US20130237751A1/en https://patents.google.com/patent/US20130237751A1/en
