Brain Cortex Jar Study Part 54

BRAIN CORTEX In the forth corridor, the spirit thermometer bisects the compartment making space for dual desiccators at this location. The jar has three remaining full size dessication compartments created by the corners of mounted power units. The jar study verifies the necessity of a sizable desiccation system. After the jar is hermetically sealed, RH will settle although the temperature may fluctuate based on the external temperature variance and heat given off by the internal energy source.
BRAIN CORTEX JAR STUDY PART 54
As work progresses on the construction of a brain in a jar and electric devices are coming together, experiments are conducted on the atmosphere occurring inside the jar.

With the jar kept a bit ajar on the lid, the temperature and humidity are monitored without the Desiccator Unit in place. As the temperature drops below 70 degrees Fahrenheit, we see the RH shooting up to 65 without any indoor climate control in place.

High levels of humidity are to be avoided inside the jar to prevent any surface sweating condensation and resulting corrosion, and as a result of this study, the jar will received a Quad Desiccator to bring down RH.

It's recommended to keep the jar sealed, activate the QD, and monitor the internal temperature particularly during charging to prevent any overheating conditions.

Desiccators can be removed for dessication recharging, by removing heat safe chemical crystals in the container and baking the contents on a metal pan in an oven to remove their moisture content. Instructions are on the web and follow all safety precautions.

The QD will reside in the four remaining corners produced by mounting the Power Units. In the fourth containment, a space bisection results leaving two narrow vertical corridors which are perfect for mounting cylindrical desiccators, one one each side of the spirit thermometer.

The QD is currently under construction, mainly involving a large collection of the dessication chemical. The dessication chemical is free by scrounging assorted sources and packaging.

Brain Cortex Thermometer Hygrometer Install Part 46



The electric unit is a combo thermometer and hygrometer for monitoring temperature and humidity inside the brain cortex jar. In the first experiment, a small high intensity lamp was placed near  the jar in an orientation that would have capacity to charge the inborn solar panel. What was noticed after 5 minutes, the internal temperature rose to an excess of 80 degrees F. and the humidity exceeded 53% RH. To normalize the jar'd environment, the lid was removed. It's not expected that high intensity lamps will often charge the jar brain in close proximity so this is an extreme case and lid removal may not be a frequent requirement.

The rating of the Parallax Propeller chip median of temperature tests is 122 deg. F. according to the Propeller Data Sheet V12, and it's expected the jar would not reach those temperatures in a temperature stable room environment. At maximum chip temperature extremes, it's likely the polymer jar substrate would melt. The polymer jar was chosen over a glass jar due to its light weight, ability to resist impacts, earthquakes, and ease of which components and structures can mount to its surface. Jar specifications may be established at a future date.
BRAIN CORTEX ELECTRIC THERMOMETER HYGROMETER INSTALL PART 46
It's time to install the electric thermometer and hygrometer monitoring unit to measure the temperature and relative humidity inside the brain cortex jar, making sure the brain is comfortable inside its new home.

The unit is mounted with one half-inch angle bracket, a quarter-inch brass spacer, two washers and a nut.

The hole in the polymer jar is just under the red lid, and is low enough so as not to interfere with its placement.

At the given angle of the jar wall under the lid side, mounting the angle iron here places pressure on the electric unit, keeping it in place, without any mechanical connection.

The bottom of the unit rests on the top of one twin power unit without any fasteners needed. The top of the unit is anchored using a small angle iron that keeps constant pressure on the case (as seen in the photos). Just enough clearance allows the jar lid to screw on tight.

The LCD faceplate is easily read through the transparent three liter jar with ambient light and no back lighting is needed.

The module has a self contained button battery, easily replaced after a year or more of operations. The unit is constantly on.

This unit is a Taiwan battery operated (LR1130) electronic thermometer and hygrometer, part number TH-233B.

It has a temperature range from -50 to +70 degrees Fahrenheit, or -58 to +158 deg. F. The hygrometer ranges from 20% RH to 99% RH. The accuracy is +/- 1.5 deg. C. The unit housing is 75(L) x 65(W) x 13(D) mm. Cost was NT$200.

This unit has a large digital LCD display with a segment font, and is easily read when accessing the home jar interior status from the outside of the jar. The temperature and relative humidity will be read through the trans jar but there is no direct connection to the Brain. The unit is for monitoring purposes only.

Other than a poke hole for changing the Centigrade reading to Fahrenheit, this unit has no controls and runs automatically. For more information, refer to the index/directory in the links below.

Brain Cortex Thermometers Part 9

BRAIN CORTEX THERMOMETERS PART 9
ANALYZING BRAIN CORTEX HEAT

Today, two different types of room thermometers are appended to the jar core design.

It's important to monitor the jar's core temperature and the temperature status of charging batteries, and track the interior humidity levels and the effectiveness of the desiccator. When batteries become warm during the charging process it's an indication that the charging process is complete. It may also indicate that the trickle charger is trickling too much and adjustment to the charging power feed is required.

The first is a spirit filled traditional small thermometer with ~ -30 to +50 degree Centigrade scale, intended for food freezer use. Part number G-590. The glass tube is the same length as a 1.5-volt D-size battery. It has a scale in one degree increments. The goal is to remove the suction cup which makes the unit smaller, and attach or place this thermometer to the proximity of one battery and monitor the charging temperature during the charging process, and continuously monitor the battery temperature to assure everything is nominal. The thermometer can stay mounted inside the jar, remaining with close contact with a single battery for continuous monitoring and inspections. The temperature will be read through the transparent jar. Like other traditional thermometers of this type, there is no maintenance. The cost was NT$85. http://www.double-sun.com.tw

The second unit is a battery operated (LR1130) electronic thermometer and hygrometer, part number TH-233B. It has a temperature range from -50 to +70 degrees Fahrenheit, or -58 to +158 deg. F. The hygrometer ranges from 20% RH to 99% RH. The accuracy is +/- 1.5 deg. C. The unit housing is 75(L) x 65(W) x 13(D) mm. Cost was NT$200. This unit has a large LCD display and easily read when accessing the home jar interior status from the outside of the jar. The temperature and relative humidity will be read through the trans jar. Other than a poke hole for changing the Centigrade reading to Fahrenheit, this unit has no controls and runs automatically. http://www.double-sun.com.tw

One tip when purchasing low cost thermometers is to compare the actual temperatures with an average of all other thermometers on the store shelf. Purchase a thermometer that is closest to the average reading of temperatures to get the most accuracy.

— our project is to develop and demonstrate a machine brain transfer, in particular to accept some relatively simple characteristics of a human brain, such as personality or knowledge, and transfer limited portions to a machine brain, whereby those characteristics could be given life longevity far exceeding that of the original human, and perhaps establish an idea of immortality —

Jet Stream

BIG BRAIN MONITORS JET STREAM TO SEE THE UNIVERSE
The Jet Stream above Asia
Reference Map of Asia
The Big Brain has devised a way to see the Universe through crystal clear seeing conditions by monitoring the Jet Stream. The Jet Stream is a fast changing high velocity wind vortex in the upper atmosphere that grossly degrades seeing conditions. By going to this site, the Brain can monitor and view Jet stream conditions and know when to conduct telescopic observational programs extending to other planets and the far reaches of the galaxy and Universe. Look for gaps and holes, curvatures where the Jet Stream is absent. Maps are available for most world locations and include additional important climatology maps such as visibility, wind, dew point, humidity, wind chill, heat index and temperature.
