Subject: [alt-beam] another new beam web site in 3D B-Movie Vision.


I decided yesterday to throw up a page to show off my beamish robots.
There's nothing too swish there just some pics of the 2 walkers I've
built and some short mpegs. I am particularly proud of the 3D
(sterioscopic) images of my 2 walkers though. You'll have to have some
red/blue 3d glasses to hand to view them. Comments welcome.

an flat image!!!

but that's part of the point of BEAM tech. a bot could sit and store and
store and store energy until it has enough to do something. the time frame
just has to match how often a task has to be done.

-warning- the following is only half serious

if a person was *really* dedicated to BEAM they could 'wear' a bot on their
head 24 hours a day that stored brain wave emf. assuming that enough energy
could be accumulated in 24 hours, once a day the bot could become active and
perform a task such as combing or straightening the human's hair. or polish
bald spots. (or just spin the propeller on their beanie)

...an added benefit would be we could tell who truly thought more than
everyone else because their hair would be neater.

this could turn into a great service to humanity, 'cause we could avoid
people that do very little thinking because we could see their hair was
messed up.

( this sidesteps the obvious task, that i'd rather not explore, of the bot
being a lice harvester...yuck, wish i hadn't said that.)
