Thought 29: Human Wash

Just thinking about showers. There are those 'full body' shower that have a bunch of head to spray your entire body with water. Well I was thinking why not add in a way to put liquid body soap into the lower section of those shower heads, then just hit the soap button and it lathers you with soap then sprays you clean, quick, simple, probably would save time in the shower. Basically just steal all of the parts from a car wash and make a 'human wash'. We'll just add a 'dry' cycle to this through use of heat vents from the top and bottom, possibly just steal the technology in the Dyson Hand Dryers. If you've never used one find one and try it, really the first air hand dryer that works. Not sure if it could not be used for whole body drying, but I think it's worth a try. Any just thought a human wash would be fun, which reminds me I need to think about redoing the downstairs shower.

Thought 5 - The Ferengi of New Jersey

Just got back from a wedding in Jersey, and have determined that New Jersey has a lot going for it, and a lot of peculiarities to it as well. First the good: Mandatory recycling. Recycling is curb side and everything goes, this is a great benefit, as there are no third parties involved or hippies to worry about, everyone just recycles. Recycling also requires little effort on the user, plastic, glass, and metals all go in the same container, then paper products in another. Now the strange: Everyone drives everywhere, but there are lots of trees. Like a giant suburbia, where the trees have not yet been killed off by the logging industry. Now, having ridden my bike for most of my life, and having walked the dogs in the morning, I have become more aware of my sense of smell. And oddly New Jersey smells like conflict, the conflict between the cars trying to pollute the world and the trees absorbing that pollution and releasing oxygen. Quite and odd balance when the brain is in a toss...

Thought 16 - Kid Power

In response "Thought 14 - Perpetual Cat" sugarbumkin said, "The same theory could be applied to balloons tied to kindergarteners at recess. I like it." Well this got me thinking... Clothes with that are laced with MEMS generators. A MEMS generator is a solid state electronic circuit that generates low level of current though passive motion of the environment. Things like temperature change, acceleration, and even Brownian motion are converted to power using a MEMS generator. So, now we have attached them to small free moving bipeds of pure energy. How do we get the energy back. I figure that we isolate the playground into a large battery configuration where the children are running around on a conductive plate that makes contact with the heels of their shoes. They will run around with a super capacitor in addition to the MEMS, when their feet touch the ground the super-cap is discharged into the conductive plate underneath them. I do not think that the childr...

Thought 23: Lights, something, something.

My wife does Improv, and was playing a location that did not have stage lights. Mostly they have disco lights and a good sounds system. Basically just a club. So I was tasked with creating a portable light system that we could go in and setup quickly. Oh yeah, it had to be cheap and done in under 24 hours. To the hardware store! First thing I think of is work lights, well because had a pair, but they did not provide quite the right light. Fortunately, Jen come up the correct type of mountable flood lighting and a couple of lamps with adjustable light positions. Excellent, things are going well, now all that we need is a light board. With the current setup everything was AC, not the 12VDC used by most lighting systems. Good thing they make light dimmers, with a quick calculation determine that with one AC outlet we can use up to 3 dimmers with 600 max watt loads each before blowing a typical circuit ( 120 V x 15 A = 1800 Watts ). We grab 3 outlets to go with the dimmers, allow...
