5th International Conference on Nanotechnology, Nanomaterials & Thin Films for Energy Applications

An Abstract has been submitted today to the 5th International Conference on Nanotechnology, Nanomaterials & Thin Films for Energy Applications will be held 18-20 July 2018 at the University of Aveiro, Portugal.  http://www.nanoenergy.co.uk/publications.html. If the Abstract is accepted, I will present a poster presentation at the conference, and may be invited to contribute a journal article to an associated publication.

Crazy idea: Reverse engineering bird vocalizations for pneumatic garment

Woke up this morning with a crazy/fun idea for a whimsical implementation of various ideas.  This is just an idea for fun!  Comments and play are welcomed.

  • Reverse engineer bird call mechanisms
  • Use pneumatics in a garment that dancers could use to force air/water
  • Create mechanism for vocalizations driven by pneumatic system
  • Can we create an analog amplifier with pneumatics?
  • We don't need to replicate bird calls - just use the mechanisms for guidance in implementation
  • Dancers move and create amazing music.
So fun to think about these things!
