- the smallest solar panel i found, it had USB ports - wiring and soldering supplies and tools that I'm used to having - craftsy options: twine, superglue, hot glue, duct tape - big mylar balloons - helium gas
I guess next if continuing with the project I'd set up the new phone, then work on setting up wiring for at least the fan motor maybe more, then try to jerryrig it onto a big party balloon.
But what makes most sense now is to put everything in a big box together to be organized. And i am doing other things now
tension arounds this project exists!
the new phone is still doing OS updates 0_0 . gotta figure some way of deploying secure android system updates some day or something uhhh one fear relates to getting a text message that the voicemail pin was changed and to contact support if it wasn't requested. hoping that was just it saying it had configured my voicemail pin automatically, not that somebody else decided they should access my voicemail before i do, but it does sound possible to be the latter :s :s their customer service opens at 8am in 3 hours, but there's a _lot_ of fear/confusion going on so i dunno :s
might be the end of this project unsure! another fear/confusion relates to my purchase of helium gas [i don't really understand this one but maybe making blimp drones is considered worrisome
[it might be similar to the shielded room fear/confusion, where i don't understand why this would ever be an issue, but the issue develops super strongly anyw-
I may have hunted down some of this tension.
To clarify, PARTY HELIUM IS NOT USUALLY USED FOR BALLOONING because it is a tiny atomic gas and quickly escapes through commonly available thin and lightweight balloon materials. It is also usually cut with normal air. Hydrogen is purportedly a molecular gas and works better (but might have similar sensationsa round its use due to traditional advisement of avoiding it). Hot air is what is conventional. [not sure what blimps and zeppelins use!]
However, using party helium to make a drone is certainly indicative of not having training in making them </suspicion-focused introject that acts like its defending patriotism>
I thought it was obvious that the term "ballooning" was a joke :s it's a prototype for an aerostat to store supplies for people with DID. We thought the mysterious extraterrestrials were rewarding us for pursuing spaceflight. But we may need a more clear document explaining how the helium supports spaceflight. It's kind of convoluted, and mostly relates to DID.
Here's a condensed clarification: - Putting party helium in a mylar balloon won't make an aerostat that floats long enough to store supplies for spacetravel; - but it will make an aerostat that floats long enough to learn how to make one that floats longer in the time the first one is floating!
