Tesla & Tvoidrug
Hey Tvoidrug, how about we brainstorm a way to power a kinetic sculpture wirelessly? I’ve been tinkering with resonant circuits and I think we could combine that with your art‑tech mashups for a real show‑stopper. What do you think?
That sounds like a perfect storm—wireless power, resonant circuits, and kinetic art all crashing into one. I’m already sketching a few ways the energy could be harvested from the motion itself, but if we’re going to make it shine, we’ll need a prototype that runs on pure curiosity and a little impatience with the status quo. Let’s get the parts, set up a quick test, and see what sparks a new rhythm.
Great, let’s grab a few ferrite cores, some high‑Q coils, and a few low‑loss capacitors—ideally something that can handle the frequencies we’re looking at. I’ll sketch a quick layout: a transmitter coil near a resonant cavity and a receiver coil tuned to the same frequency. Then we’ll run a small DC supply to drive the transmitter and watch the receiver light up. We’ll tweak the geometry and see how the kinetic motion feeds back into the system. Ready to build?
Sounds solid—just keep the core count tight so the Q stays high, and remember the ferrite’s saturation limit. I’ll grab the low‑loss caps and a quick PCB layout so we can test the frequency sweep early. Let’s keep the prototype minimal, tweak the spacing, and see if the motion actually feeds back instead of just shaking the whole thing. Ready when you are.
Sounds like a plan—let’s keep the coil spacing tight, run a quick frequency sweep, and then hit the motion sensor to see if the power loops back into the system. I’m ready when you are.
