Just finished a bottle of fermented garlic beer when an IDEA hit me. MINDFLEX is a toy that allows the player to control an object ( small light plastic ball ) by conditioning the brain's ALPHA WAVES
https://store.neurosky.com/products/mindflex. Does anyone else think this bit of tech might be pretty rad if it was grafted to a UGV R/C CAR TRANSMITTER to allow for control of steering and throttle ?

Well hell yeah that would be cool! But what happens if a pretty girl walks by and your mind starts to wander? 🤔😁

You are spot-on RIGHT ! Would be even worse is she looked at you and smiled !! This MIND / BRAIN stuff is interesting. Want to try to integrate it to my THEREMIN as well. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theremin. Now. What if a Beautiful Woman were playing the Theremin as well ? Who comes to mind is my Theremin Virtuoso Friend Dorit Chrysler. http://www.doritchrysler.com/photos.html .

Those are really cool. I want one for my kid to annoy me with lol.
 
A friend has a couple PC fans hook together and just powers it off his PSU on his workbench to draw the fumes away. I just hold my breath after a big inhale then blow the fumes away when done 🤣 But I need to make me a little fume fan.
Thank you for the comment. If you like building things you might consider the DIY KIT THEREMIN called a THEREMAX https://paia.com/proddetail.php?prod=9505KC. Ahhh, nothing like the smell of melted solder burning rosin at the work bench 🙂 Will post PIX of mine soon.
Thanks for the link. That looks like a fun project.
 
PC powered fans. GREAT IDEA. If you put legs / stilts of the fan pair and powered it with Pb or NiMH batteries, you could support the unit above a car and use the breeze to cool motors, ESCs, and batteries while charging 🙂 Here are some PIX of a stilted cooling fan fabricated from a laptop cooling fan set. Am also including PIX of the fishing lure box ( thrift store for fifty cents ) that I use for small tools, parts vehicle accessories.
