Power Dynamic Telescope PDT Sees Super Giant Star

POWER DYNAMIC TELESCOPE FINDS SUPER GIANT STAR DISK!

EXPLORER CLASS TELESCOPE: Spectacular new view of a giant sun located across the galaxy..

THIS IS JUST CRAZY TELESCOPIC VIEWING — SEEING This Giant Bubbling Star Image Close Up!

A giant red super sun is living across the galaxy. It's so large, we decided to try pointing the PDT telescope there to see what could materialize. Stars are generally only tiny pinpoints, unresolved pin-tip dots in the largest telescopes. However, through the giant PDT Telescope, a giant full disk bubbling sun is resolved, showing the enigmatic face of Betelgeuse, a bright super red giant star in the constellation Orion.

Gazing upon the starry heavens we've seen the orange reddish hew of the Star Betelgeuse on countless clear nights and wondered what it looks like close up. Telescopes of moderate to large size simply do not show the tiny stars as anything more than a pinpoint of featureless light. It takes very large telescopes and special techniques of interferometry to bring forth a disk and not much more is discerned. The PDT however, is so large in aperture, and with techniques of supercomputer molecular envisioning and processing with Adjuncts, that optically it can see an image with a large amount of unprecedented detail. This giant star is amazing with a massive bubbling boiling surface!

NINE NEW DISCOVERIES!
With just one observation of one star, the Explorer Class telescope has made more discoveries at a rate higher than any previous Big Brain Initiative telescope.

1) Resolving the disk is remarkable and unexpected.

2) Seeing topical features extending out from the solar perimeter is remarkable.

3) The detail in the photosphere is unprecedented.

4) At the left side, the disk appears to have a giant solar storm raging. The star itself is 700 million miles in diameter according to estimates.

5) This fierce storm reaches about 233 million miles out into space, and is perhaps the largest solar storm ever observed.

6) It also effects 1/7th of the star's side facing the Earth, as the largest sunspot ever discovered, covering about 100 million miles of the star's surface diameter.

7) The star also has continuous extremely large solar storms covering the entire perimeter.

8) It appears the red giant has eight super storms going on at the same time, the highest number of super storms ever discovered at one time on any sun.

9) The main stellar disk of this sun appears to show extrapolated giant sections and regions of massive bubbling and boiling effects.

Robot Fist & Brain Stub

THE 1ST MACHINE ROBOT RED FIST

Rare boxing glove creates 1st robot fist

An interesting take on robot arms is the new Red Robot Fist. The Fist needs only one degree of freedom to activate and carry through its striking potential. It serves as a test for machine output ports and as a machine security device on the latest line of Propeller Super Computing Machines.


SOURCE  The red Fist was purchased at the mystical Night Market of Red China and is a small stitched and padded boxing glove designed to manually strike the body repeatedly to impart enough force to help increase circulation. Such strikers come in all sorts of sizes, shapes and promotions. This one is very interesting, and rather rare among the cache.

MECHANISM  The boxing glove is mounted to a straight wooden arm with a ball mount at both ends. The fist has the most simple actuator using a single servo activated via one Propeller port. Activation temporary moves a catch to release the "spring" cocked fist. The fist then forcefully moves as needed. With two configuration designs, one releases the fist so that it traverses at least a 90-degree arch. The 2nd configuration launches the fist much like a rocket, in a straight line of motion like an arrow, using a launching tube and a compressor spring. This borrows (and adds) some technology from the Big Brain's Micro Space Program. However, instead of using compressed air fuel, the energy comes mechanically from the cocked mechanism and spring. The spring is either a pull spring or a compression spring found in the parts bin.

USES  The Fist is an experimental platform for testing many output ports and pins, and for acting as and testing a new security device. It's a novel approach by concept, as the boxing glove and its softness is a relatively benign system. Though relatively harmless with mild forces, a stronger spring and latch mechanism can indeed pack a wallop!

ROBOTIC BRAINS  Robot brains with arms, fists, fingers, and internal transforming and signaling agents, both electronic and mechanical, are relatively new concepts being explored.

SERVO & PROGRAMMING The servo is a standard Parallax servo with the activating program code taken from the Parallax OBEX. Propeller programming is in SPIN.

PORTING  The device is easily ported from one machine to another and two such devices can make a nice set of arms with a single minded purpose of security.

ORIGINS  The Red FIST has its basis and idea from the Big Brain Stub, designed July 7th, 2011 and as presented here from the original post. seen below..

Designing a Big Robotic Brain Stub
(from July 7th, 2011)
Discovery post
http://forums.parallax.com/showthrea...l=1#post982979

The study and design of Brain Stubs is progressing. The project will also require, in addition to technical merit, some art and imagination. Unfortunately there were no suggestions for the shape of a Brain Stub so the project is progressing slowly. Apparently the right side of the gray matter is mute.

The Investigation
The investigation begins with weight and mass. Since the stub will be servo driven with props, it must not have too much mass. Although Wonder-Board is extremely light weight, it still has mass under consideration and appreciable weight in large sizes at various extended positions.

Determining Mass and weight
Both are determined by shape, and shape must adhere to the requirements set in the previous Brain Stub post. For mass, the formula F = (M)(A) is utilized. The servo has ramping and can therefore control inertia.

Control
Control will be under the Brain Stem as previously planned. This allows many functions of programming for the servo(s).

DOF
Now under consideration are two degrees of freedom but it is not known where these will locate. Enough parts exist to do 2 DOF and this is in compliance with the Brain Stem. The board can immediately handle 2 servos.

Brain Stub Design
This week the trial period was up on the CAD design program. Today, the program was purchased and the Brain Stub design can resume.

Quantity of Stubs
Do we go with a quantity of redundant Octopus-like stubs or could the Brain could get by with one stub? Two stubs open up some possibility of grasping. One stub would be faster, cheaper, lighter, and easier to construct. It would consume less power, and remain easier to program.

Stub Focus
Focus is now on designing the shape of one Brain Stub.

Hardware
The current idea is to use a PING))) kit for the interface connection to a constructed Wonder-Board Giant Brain Arm run by the large servo.

Dimensions
It's possible the Giant Brain Stub Arm could be 4-feet long and 1 or 2 feet in diameter. This is however subjective until the design is more solidified.

Shape
The shape is estimated to be grotesquely large, overbearing, ungainly, shocking, and with an appearance never before seen. It could have a very large hand at the end of the arm. But the hand would not be fully articulated. It must however meet the minimal requirements set forth in the previous Brain Stub post.

Servos
Should these servos mount standard or should they be continuous rotation servos? Maybe one of each - the large had could continuously rotate at the wrist (for some special functions) while the globby arm could dangle in varying degrees at the lumpy shoulder.

Possible Conclusions & Suggestions

• A single Brain Stub
• A blobbed shape never before seen
• Made from manufactured WonderBoard
• Interfaced with Parallax PING)))
• Two degrees of freedom
• Servo driven
• A massively large hand
• Side mounted
• Articulation at the shoulder or elbow
• Articulation at the hand wrist
• Extremely large overall size ~ Four Foot extent
• Grotesquely appearing
• Light weight to minimize inertia
• Programmed/Operated by the Brain Stem
• Employing one continuous rotation servo at the hand wrist
• One standard servo at the shoulder or elbow

QUESTION & ANSWER SECTION (New)

We've opened up a new Question and Answer section that can be applied to posts. Click on contact and send your questions. Negative responses will be rejected. Constructive comments may be included with the project.

The first question comes from nThinker. Q - Can the Red Fist install on the SuperTronic Brain? A - Yes, it can install on most platforms with software for controlling a servo, but is specifically designed for a Propeller chip so it runs well on Supertronic ports or any of the Big Brain series and Propeller projects with an available pin.

NULT Telescope Jupiter Great Red Spot

NULT TELESCOPE AND JUPITER'S GREAT RED SPOT GRS

The Great Red Spot on Jupiter has existed for centuries - a giant storm raging on the planet. We thought it was one big storm. NULT examined the Jovian environment inside the Red Spot and discovered the GRS has hundreds, if not thousands of storms going on, all at the same time, deep inside the confines of the GRS boundaries. The GRS continues to live up to its name, remaining great and portraying a majority red hue. However, we can't say it's a tiny spot - not in the eye of the 24-meter NULT Telescope! Note the entire photo, edge to edge, shows storms, currents, and eddies all raging at the same time inside the GRS.
