Métis Flag

There is even an 'official' flag with the infinity symbol : )

New Machine Set Up

Concept design for the new test setup where color fields define the position to control the movement by adjusting propeller/rotor speed as mentioned in the previous post.

... Ship's Wheel controling system.

Dharma Wheel

I've been working or rather thinking of a new version of my Torus machine (old one) to use in water. This time it will be driven by the NG-UAVP Quadrocopter board that has the potential to use up to 16 motors, I will use eight. Here is a first rough little sketch of the concept:

It is starts to looks a bit like the Wheel of Dharma, a symbol that represents dharma, the Buddha's teaching of the path to enlightenment. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharmacakra)

Anyway, I'm planning to steer this machine by adjusting the speed of the motors at defined positional points. Roughly the concept is when the machine spins at full speed and I would like to turn it to the right, that the rotors that pass through the blue Zone B are slowed down to 50 rpm, those that pass through the opposite red Zone D are accelerated to 150 rpm and those that move through the neutral grey Zones A-C keep their norma velocity of 100 rpm. The difference in velocity would make the spinning torus swing to the right. Here is a short clip of how the color fields would be set Software-wise while the construction spins round:

Note: if you are an engineer of some sorts and would like to help building this thing, let me know, all help is welcome, because this one might be waaay too difficult for me to do.

Freely Rotating Torus Moving Forward in Particle Bath

Gyroscope

Its a spinning Torus, that continues ...

Falaco Soliton

The Falaco Soliton is an interesting Soliton, as it is made up out of two connected whirlpools that are entwined by a string underwater. One could see it as half a Torus that moves continuously forward. It is an idea discovered and presented by Professor R. M.Kiehn. On his website he describes this phenomenon with mathematics of Élie Cartan, a specialist in Spinor theory:

Torofluxus

The Torofluxus or Toroflux is a toy that was invented in mid-1990s by Jochen Valett. It is a 27-foot-long (8.2 m) ribbon of steel which is woven into a torus spring. It is often sold pre-attached to a larger plastic ring. The spring flows downwards along the plastic ring, creating a shimmering effect like a silver bubble. The spring tension in the steel tightens the inner spiral core, causing it to cling to the plastic ring just like a silver bubble. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torofluxus)

Light passing through (U-turn vs. Tumble)

How do photons move from a object towards your eye without being obstructed by light coming from other directions? The answer could be fairly simple as each photon is a very small object that moves super fast, it could be like crosstown traffic where the vibrations of one photon compresses the Aether perpendicularly, blocking all photons that come from the side for a fraction while itself passes through, and creating a sort of red-light system, priority (right of way).

In the case of an 8-knot the generated blocking wave would be only a thin strip. A color-photon (red) could be like a flock build up out of many basic-photons (planck scale) all the flocks should be able to move through each other without any observable disturbances.

The only question that remains is, how can two opposite photons move through each other? Here the 8-particle has some interesting properties, the perpendicular the strip-like vibrational wave that goes along with rotation, leaves an open funnel in the front of the oo<< whereby two opposing particles can get close without being blocked oo<>oo. Next, the 8-particle with its U-shape arches, gives the opportunity for two photons to entangle without touching each other, and without occupying too much extra space. So they could either Tumble over each other, and move on.

Or they could hook into each other, make a U-Turn, and the two colliding photons could leave the entanglement back into the direction from where they came, giving the impression that they passed through each other, like a swimmer that makes a turn when he flips over, and continues to swim forward.

Marcel Breuer - 118 Chair

Here is a short clip on the story of how Marcel Breuer created his famous MB-118 chair, that is based on a table in the shape of an 8. It proves how balanced and strong this basic structure is.

Here’s a link to cool Artsy-page on Marcel Breuer which provides visitors with Breuer's bio, several of his works, exclusive articles, and up-to-date Breuer exhibition listings. It also includes related artists and categories, allowing viewers to discover art and design beyond their Breuer page: https://www.artsy.net/artist/marcel-breuer
