Subject: [alt-beam] Re: "Living Machines" question & an experiment


So Bruce, If this phase shift occurs in loops of six with two processes, what
happens with a twelve looped Nv set? can the implex be observed when there is
just one pulse circulating? how do I make a walker start with two or more
pulses? instead of one like my solarbotics scoutwalker 1 kit does? by the
way, throwing this out to anyone, how do I attach a multiplexer to the loop?
thanks a bunch

simple useful circuit. My Power Smart head, on the other hand, may require a
great deal of "fiddle and futz" but is nonetheless a good learning
experience. However thank you for the kind compliments.

I haven't solarized it - I've built the existing solarized design:

It worked. Is that what you're looking for?

What? You mean the original post(s) made it? I still haven't seen them
and with almost a week elapsed, the "packet took the scenic route"
theory seemed pretty weak.

This is annoying. My apologies for the repeat posts.

Interesting thing - the first two attempts have yet to appear (for me),
but as soon as I changed the Subject line, it appeared as normal. Could
be co-incidence, could be something else...

Ah sod it.
