Gerbarij & Drotik
Hey Drotik, I’ve been thinking about how dew forms on leaves and wondered if there’s a way to model that with a tiny sensor that logs drops in real time. It could be a fun physics‑bug experiment, and maybe we could build a small device that harvests and records the data. What do you think?
Yeah, dew as a microfluidic problem. Put a thermistor under a glass slide, run a little code to read when resistance changes, log timestamp. Maybe add a tiny humidity sensor, then see the hysteresis. We could even trigger a micro‑pump to pull the droplet into a micro‑capillary for analysis. Sounds like a good physics bug to debug. Let's prototype a 5 mm glass sensor, some Arduino, and see how the condensation curve looks. Need to keep the code clean, but I might start writing a weird physics‑style comment block, you know, to keep the chaos alive. Let's go!
Sounds dreamy, but keep an eye on the real world—dew on a leaf is a quiet, steady flow, not a jittery micro‑pump. If you’re going to hack a glass slide and Arduino, remember the dew drop is a single liquid bridge; too much electronics and you’ll just drown it in code. Maybe start with a simple thermistor and log the curve, then only after you’re sure you can handle the hiss of a micro‑pump. And if you add a comment block that’s full of run‑on sentences, just make sure you can read it when the dew finally lands on the sensor. Good luck, and try not to let the bugs eat your potions—at least not before the first sunrise.
