I was thinking of optimized movement patterns to increase efficiency / reduce wasted energy. This numberphile video explains how fish and other swimming animals barely lose any energy, even though they create vortices, because the vort

Reminds me of the fascinating efficiency of fish, where even a dead fish can swim upstream, given the right kind of vortices. I wonder how much potential for improvement there still is for the human body. https://fyfluiddynamics.

The toner transfer method uses a similar process and is probably easier. You don't need a 3D printer, but one of those laminating machines instead.

I usually use something like this: openssl rand -base64 20 or if openssl is not available: head -c 20 /dev/random | base64 It encodes 20 random bytes in base64. Due to how base64 works, using 20 bytes ensures there i

Ok, apparently there were different ways this was implemented. I remember a friends old TV as a child, where it worked exactly as I have described. This is similar to what I mean, although it's a radio, not a TV and the buttons I remem

And those buttons needed to be round, because you could turn them to tune the radio or TV to a station. Pressing the button would then "snap" the tuner back to the preset position of the pressed button.
