What kind of inventions have you come up with? What ideas are you modeling in your brain?
- throwaway14356 3y agoall kinds! Thinking of a good example: An ally with a vending machine at the end and a conveyor belt as the floor of the alley. If you try to smash or damage the machine the conveyor belt will prevent you from walking away.
- Ecoste 3y agoMaybe we could go for a telephone booth style machine that would lock the door (and the vandal) inside, and then https://youtu.be/EbmQxZkSswI?t=57 https://youtu.be/EbmQxZkSswI?t=57
- cbracketdash 3y agonahhh man just kick the door down ;)
- cbracketdash 3y agoWhat specific purpose would this serve? Also what would prevent someone from just sprinting off the belt?
- throwaway14356 3y agowell, you cant have the machine harm a person (however much fun that seems) but you can give them the impression they can just run away and have them run against an algo that will only just prevent it. It should be crafted perfectly to keep the test subject under the impression they almost made it. If they want to fall down and hurt themselves that is entirely up to then. There is the calm voice instructing to wait for the authorities, that is the best we can do. If they some how run to fast or if someone comes to help them with a rope sudden stops and reversal should make the adventure more adventurous. The goal is to convince the test subject it isn't worth damaging the machine. People like that have a hard time remembering what not to do. I'm not a sadist, the machine will feed them however long they are stuck there.
- cbracketdash 3y agoWell I can't delve into too much detail yet but it includes a bunch of moving gears that aren't trivial to keep in place. So I'm trying to figure out some casings for the motor. When I first read Tesla's writing last night, I began by just simply allowing my imagination to do a test run of building something. I first began by imagining a cylinder. I rotated the cylinder and observed the sharp edges. I didn't like that so I smoothed it out. Then I imagined a hollowed out cylinder with its edges smoothed out. How about adding a horizontal beam through it. Or maybe two? And what if they intersect. All of this I would imagine in my head. Overall, it felt like a more versatile approach then spending hours tinkering with Freecad. I spent a bit more time coming up with models for my specific project before realizing it was 1:30 AM. WARNING: THIS METHOD WILL KEEP YOU AWAKE AT NIGHT FOR HOURS. :)
- proee 3y agoThanks for sharing, I also enjoy staring at a blank wall and letting my mind think about various inventions and projects. Usually they are kinetic art ideas with novel movements. I probably have 20 good ideas that I keep iterating on. The other night I had a dream about a kinetic art piece and was able to wake up with full details on how it could work - this was a first for me. Now I just need to build them!
- jamiek88 3y agoI do that in my garden. I can stare for hours imaging and imagining new projects and plants.
- throwaway14356 3y agoI feel one thing isnt mentioned often enough, or actually 2: If you invent something, start looking at the previous art sooner. 2) Limit creative insanity or genius to one thing and keep everything else as boring as possible. When the garage explodes you know why and you have at most 1 biohazard at a time.
