James Bowery, thats some nice hardware stuff there! Im into it too, heres a non functioning draft of this pneumatic motor driver i put together, it may look half impressive, but in actuality its a piece of junk that needed to be completely revised, I have a much smaller system in mind for the future.

(if this showoffery is not wanted, feel free to disregard all this nonsense... i need to grow up, indeed.) Its a quad junction - and a notable physicist we all know had similar machine diagrams just like it, but its a coincidence, I dont know what greater things he had in mind for it, I just do something simple and probably more inneffective, if I believed in him at all. Take a look at this, and id like to demonstrate the real difficulty involved in making a piece of experimental hardware personally. https://scontent.fper6-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/72886941_1016921991989191_1368114566025707520_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&_nc_oc=AQm6n7aWdu7wEZPvEZLjX3RZa5HlvV86E6mgcW0fVrNDW_q0GZRLEljVPx1LfRlaVw0&_nc_ht=scontent.fper6-1.fna&oh=eecef34e4ebc4d5855ad9641c34ad1e7&oe=5E37E680 This circuit, could be a motor driver which will control an arm to stop to a point, like for example what an electrical plotter would need. If you make the voltage and the counter voltage, be the current position and the target position, as the arm reaches the destination it will put less volts across the centre, where the capacitor is. Without the capacitor and just linking straight to the motor, it wont move no matter how much charge you give it, because left is cancelling out right and there is something like 2% of the power going into the motor only the difference, possibly less. But! The capacitor in place of the motor's job is to act like an amplifier, but since that would disturb the electronic community on the internet so much, I cannot post this on any forum or be kicked off!!! How it does so is by collecting the charge over time, and then given enough charge time (water filling a bucket) I should be able to pulse it out of it, at possibly 2 hz with a strong jag to get over weight and friction once the charge has collected. But... the interesting thing... is it still doesnt work. Why? I think it is because the capacitor will discharge on the rail if both sides of the capacitor are connected with the same pole, because its making a loop! So! to then fix it again, you could employ 2 batteries, so the conduction loop isnt there any more and the capacitor may now start collecting voltage without losing it to discharge... and I now may have a motor driver, after all - with no transistor involved. Capacitors are a real bitch, if you have 2 in parallel they will discharge into each other. if you have a pole on both sides itll discharge to itself. So segregation of your electrical circuits is very important, theres lots of pitfalls, and only something really dumb and simple will ever work.... ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Td4a5dff7d017676c-M8df19edf463dd5c1c3b56061 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
