(9:12:13 PM) ion599: did
(9:12:20 PM) ion599: you see the ted laser fence
(9:12:23 PM) ion599: that kills bugs
(9:12:25 PM) ion599: well
(9:12:26 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: yeah
(9:12:28 PM) ion599: mosquitoes
(9:12:31 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: yeah
(9:12:33 PM) ion599: want to build one
(9:12:36 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: how
(9:12:45 PM) ion599: i can get a blu ray diode for 10 dollars on ebay
(9:12:49 PM) ion599: after that
(9:13:00 PM) ion599: we need a mirror that works in the uv range
(9:13:04 PM) ion599: and a motor to put it on
(9:13:35 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: why the mirror
(9:13:42 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: cant we just move the diode around
(9:14:07 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: and how are we going to triangulate the position of the mosquito
(9:14:12 PM) ion599: its easier to move the mirror around
(9:14:15 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: oh
(9:14:34 PM) ion599: the diode is big expensive and delicate
(9:14:46 PM) ion599: mirror is cheap and if mounted right
(9:14:50 PM) ion599: should spin perfectly
(9:14:52 PM) ion599: umm
(9:14:58 PM) ion599: we could use two cameras
(9:15:02 PM) ion599: really cheap webcams
(9:15:13 PM) ion599: mount one top and one bottom
(9:15:16 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: they did it by listening for the mosquito wings flapping
(9:15:22 PM) ion599: really
(9:15:22 PM) ion599: huh
(9:15:25 PM) ion599: we can do that too
(9:15:25 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: apparently its at a specific frequency
(9:15:28 PM) ion599: actually that makes sense
(9:15:32 PM) ion599: and would be easier
(9:15:42 PM) ion599: then we can shoot an inferred laser at it
(9:15:50 PM) ion599: to see if it is there
(9:15:56 PM) ion599: and then wack it with the uv laser
(9:16:04 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: why bother with infrared
(9:16:21 PM) ion599: hmm
(9:16:21 PM) ion599: ok
(9:16:23 PM) ion599: but
(9:16:34 PM) ion599: how do you use sound to triangulate the location
(9:16:40 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: no clue
(9:16:44 PM) ion599: would you use 3 microphones
(9:16:53 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: you would have to
(9:16:56 PM) ion599: ok
(9:16:57 PM) ion599: yeah
(9:16:59 PM) ion599: that makes sense
(9:17:03 PM) ion599: i think we can do it
(9:17:08 PM) ion599: we might end up shooting people too
(9:17:09 PM) ion599: but thats ok
(9:17:13 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: lol
(9:17:27 PM) ion599: ok so instead of a motor
(9:17:38 PM) ion599: we could use 2 actuators?
(9:17:55 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: i didn't know there was a differene
(9:18:12 PM) ion599: my original plan was to just shoot the laser on a plane
(9:18:19 PM) ion599: perpendicular to the ground
(9:18:23 PM) ion599: then we would only need 1 motor
(9:18:26 PM) ion599: and a mirror
(9:18:29 PM) ion599: and pulse the laser
(9:18:33 PM) ion599: at the right time
(9:18:42 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: how would the mosquito go there
(9:18:45 PM) ion599: like the mirror would just spin constantly
(9:18:56 PM) ion599: and
(9:19:21 PM) ion599: the insect would eventual have to fly through the plane
(9:19:29 PM) ion599: and then you can zap it
(9:19:30 PM) ion599: but
(9:19:34 PM) ion599: that sounds unreasonable
(9:19:38 PM) ion599: oh when is 320 due
(9:19:39 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: its too passive
(9:19:42 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: feb 25
(9:19:45 PM) ion599: oh ok
(9:19:47 PM) ion599: so a while from now
(9:19:50 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: yeah
(9:19:53 PM) ion599: hmmm
(9:20:18 PM) ion599: how would we know we hit the insect though
(9:20:29 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: the wings stop flapping
(9:20:34 PM) ion599: true
(9:20:43 PM) ion599: ok that will work
(9:20:54 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: how would we make it work
(9:21:00 PM) ion599: ok so
(9:21:03 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: i've never done anything this close to hardware
(9:21:11 PM) ion599: microcontrollers
(9:21:13 PM) ion599: are magic
(9:21:17 PM) ion599: which means
(9:21:22 PM) ion599: i ll tell abe to do that part
(9:21:28 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: haha
(9:21:33 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: what would i do
(9:21:37 PM) ion599: umm
(9:21:43 PM) ion599: i have no idea
(9:21:45 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: lol
(9:21:48 PM) ion599: you can work out the math
(9:21:51 PM) ion599: or i can do that
(9:21:53 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: i suck at math
(9:22:01 PM) ion599: and then we need to calibrate the machine properly
(9:22:03 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: i'll check your math
(9:22:05 PM) ion599: yes
(9:22:08 PM) ion599: that is a very good idea
(9:22:13 PM) ion599: my accuracy sucks
(9:22:16 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: lol
(9:22:26 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: i'll make a website so we can take orders
(9:22:34 PM) ion599: hmmm
(9:22:38 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: oh wait they probably have a patenet
(9:22:39 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: patent
(9:22:43 PM) ion599: yeah
(9:22:44 PM) ion599: umm
(9:22:53 PM) ion599: i doubt they patented shooting stuff with lasers though
(9:22:57 PM) ion599: or were granted that
(9:23:23 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: they probably patented the idea of killing mosquitos using a UV laser by triangulating its position based on the frequency of its wings flapping
(9:23:30 PM) ion599: ok
(9:23:54 PM) ion599: so we can locate mosquitos by hitting them with an infrared pulse
(9:24:28 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: wait why use IR, just kill it as soon as you triangulate it
(9:24:28 PM) ion599: or we can just steal their idea
(9:24:34 PM) ion599: well
(9:24:44 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: oh you mean instead of triangulations
(9:24:45 PM) ion599: the idea was to find out its location
(9:24:54 PM) ion599: using infrared triangulation
(9:25:08 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: so radar
(9:25:21 PM) ion599: well sort of like radar
(9:25:41 PM) ion599: only simplified
(9:25:51 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: ok
(9:26:00 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: but how would you know its a mosquito
(9:26:10 PM) ion599: i guess you wouldn't
(9:26:14 PM) ion599: but most people hate all bugs anyway
(9:26:21 PM) ion599: so its fine
(9:26:25 PM) ion599: i hate the envirorment
(9:26:29 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: how would you know its not the pupil of a baby
(9:26:36 PM) ion599: i hate babies too
(9:26:41 PM) cobalt017@gmail.com/7E396596: of a squirrel
(9:27:00 PM) ion599: don't really care for squirrels that mcuh
(9:27:07 PM) ion599: i just want to kill stuff
(9:27:10 PM) ion599: automatically
