That's what I would do. Hook jumpers from the buzzer to the play button of an mp3 player.
That way if the music system fails, the buzzer still wakes you up.
The system takes advantage of the heat difference between Earth's surface and the night sky, with the ground radiating much of the heat it captured during the previous day.
It's not a reverse solar panel. It's not a solar anything. It requires a difference in heat... So it generates electricity in the same situation that a sterling engine uses to generate motion. Could you put one on a diesel generator to turn the waste heat into more electricity?
Does it have anything in common with those weird little solid state heat exchangers Peltier elements? Wait, are they actually, literally peltier elements?
Any flies that fly into my house are given a chance to leave. If I can herd them out the window, they get to live and make lots of new baby flies.
On the other hand, their chances of getting a close up view of the fly swatter increase exponentially with every minute they spend refusing to leave and ignoring the fact that I'm literally showing them the exit.
Thank you for sharing this. I have mixed feelings about this piece.
There's a lot to look at. They've obviously put a lot of time and skill into it, and it's nice to look at, and I don't want to sound like I don't appreciate its merits, but I feel like I can't appreciate it completely.
The top and bottom thirds are interesting and recognizable, but my brain has to work hard to piece together the busy middle section. I kind of wish they had done something like this:
!parallelview@sh.itjust.works
That would take it from "wow, this is awesome" to "mind blowingly awesome"
I wouldn't work very well to see it in real life, because you'd have to stand so far back you couldn't appreciate the fine details. But it would be possible to arrange two close up photographs to get a 3D effect of the detail.
Is it possible to turn off the fingerprint reader? And assign the volume button to some other function or to do nothing when you press it accidentally?
Also, does it have a firewall that can sandbox apps and prevent them from accessing sensors/files/internet?
Fair comment. I used gaffer tape a lot at the beginning of my journey because it was convenient and available, but everything I built fell apart eventually, so I started using cloth duct tape. I recently discovered aluminium duct tape which is genuinely amazing. It's like regular cloth duct tape, but it can be shaped really precisely, and it holds it's shape even if everything else falls apart around it.
I'm imagining a mosquito net set up like a tent.
