THERMOPILES RIDE AGAIN

While many people regret burning up their lives & 401k's perfecting thermopile autopilots only to end up switching to IMU's, monocopters are 1 application where only thermopiles will do.

They give only a 0.5V change based on angle of attack. They're supposed to be used in pairs with a high gain op-amp amplifying the difference. Being weight limited makes it challenging. There are 3 arrangements:

1) Single thermopile without amplifier
2) Single thermopile with amplifier
3) Double thermopile with difference amplifier

So if she can't sense attitude indoors, why does she still use sonar instead of GPS + pressure? We often wonder the same thing ourselves. There's still hope for a pushbroom camera to replace thermopiles. Whether you go with a pushbroom or a single frame camera, it needs a really fast shutter speed. A really big lens or mirror would help.
Attitude sensing is moving in parallel between commutes with...

MARCY 1 POV BEGINS

Wanted to have some kind of UAV lightshow demo in case by some miracle we got the chance to fly for THE REAL MAJOR MARCY.









Marcy 1's payload is stupid. We're becoming another Kai. Kai built LED toys to impress heroines at nightclubs only to get stuck with a horrible snotty Asian bitch instead of a warrior & he hated life. Our LED toys are more expensive & aimed higher but still the same. Decided not to bother with flying music videos. Just simple star & mar patterns.



SMT LEDs were not bright enough to do the job.



So replaced them with 3mm LEDs before commuting time ran out. 3mm was all anyone had. Got to focus the economy on housing & SUV's.

Also, as much as She is the Great She Is, no-one but us is going to want to watch Her aircraft fly around for 5 minutes while listening to Blue Uniform or whatever the band is called.

Fortunately she has plenty of debugging LEDs.

THE REAL MAJOR MARCY

Major Marcy, that's right, THE REAL MAJOR MARCY saw this video & She
wrote "Speechless!"

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mind you, She didn't view our Goo Tube account since iPhones can't do Flash & She only uses an iPhone. It would be bad if She did. You would definitely go back to MQ-1 logos if you saw Her in real life. This is ridiculous.



Also snagged a manned copter taking off in this video. Obviously they fell in love & started chasing after the Mad Major like us. Crowded skies when She's around.We did see the real Major Marcy in REAL LIFE. She's so f**king beautiful, not sure about showing you Her photo because you might fall in love uncontrollably & turn into a blob of protoplasm.

    Cool video
  • FYI, in case no-one saw it already rotary wing POV has been done before. The trick is making it light enough & legible enough for a blond bombshell to read.

  • You should see if you can use the LEDs to create a clock or message when it spins...lol

    Oh I thought it was called something else Jack
