Well i've made the mistake of following the instructions and half building the computer when due to my uncontrollable urge to see what it could do I decided to power up the incomplete device and low and behold it has now disappeared before my eyes into I suspect a parallel universe, is there any chance of getting it back soon as one of the stamps was used to control my garden watering system and although the water level isnt quite up to the first floor it is getting increasingly difficult to light the gas cooker in the kitchen downstairs.
See an earlier post of mine about a similar problem. If you wait long enough it might reappear as a mirror image of the original, if it is travelling round the universe.

3DSC APP 13 A Guide to Simulating the Extinction of a Mass Source by a Gravity Well (Black Hole)
If you want to simulate the extinction of a mass source (part of your 3DSC) by a gravity well (Black Hole), you would need to create several things. First, produce an circle of indistinction made up of gravity wells by using all three spatial dimensions and slowly move the Spatial Motivators so that the dimensions and gravity wells approach and then reside as close as possible to a point source. Call this XYZ1min, XYZ2min, and XYZ3min. (The maximum acceptable diameter of such a circle of confusion is known as the maximum permissible circle of confusion, the circle of confusion diameter limit, or the circle of confusion criterion, but is often incorrectly called simply the circle of confusion.) We will now call this aggregate of space time a singularity. Use an LED or Piezo sound as the mass source. Changes in gravity are represented by changes in light and sound. Calculate the acceleration of the mass source being accelerated by the singularity gravity to near light speed. You may use Einstein’s equations (for example, for time travel, a factor of one over the square root of one minus v squared over c squared where v is the velocity of the object under time travel and c is the speed of light.) You’ll obviously want to open up a worm hole using the singularity and guide the mass source through the worm hole. Here you will need Hawking's equations. Then, you will need to invent the equations of guidance and travel (to avoid being ripped apart gravity or radiation particulate matter collision destruction and maintain course), in addition to considering a method to survive the rigors of travel that happen near infinite mass acceleration. You’ll need to guesstimate on this. No one knows exactly. Since space is more of a warped distorted dimensional relationship than a circle, it will not be easy to predict where and in what time period the mass will reappear from the other end of the worm hole. It will certainly disappear to extinction, no longer existing in our time parallel. There are many theories about this. You’ll have to choose one and develop the simulation around it.

Thanks Nick - some photos will be forthcoming, to show the new installed Dimensional Space Motivators. It will be interesting to see how fast these operate without any critical board inertial effects. I think that a ramping code will put less stress on the servo and minimize the start up and shut down inertial effects but that involves more programming time. What do you think?

Spatial Motivator Definitions Note 012310
It’s very simple. On posting page one, within the 4/19/2009 post, you will see
the ASP photo and explanation of what it does. The ASP made manual core
positioning obsolete – it made core positioning automatic by using servos. At
the time when the ASP was upgraded, the name convention was changed and
announced in the 4-21-2009 post, mainly because it had more capability and
function.
The next improvement was posted on 4-22-09 when the Dimensional Spatial
Motivators were rebuilt for high delta because they were run so hard during
Doppler shift experiments. In the next post, DSM stability was improved.
Therefore, on the device, you will see the cores move through space. The
name was appropriately chosen to indicate the motivation of moving cores
through space. You cannot call it a servo because the assembly consists of
other elements that all work together.
Multi-core processors, like the 8-cog Propeller, or chips with dual cores, have
static stationary cores that do not move. This project has three cores that
move. You could also think of the entire computer like one big chip with three
cores. In the future, I would like to see the concept miniaturized where the
cores can move at relativistic speeds to open up the many possibilities for a
new type of computer. At these speeds, an object can time travel, and the
results could lead to new methods for computing, but this is for another
involved thread.

Oh Shmoopy! Our thoughts exactly. In fact, I was just thinking about

Of course we want to help you, and Richard, and all those who are glued

Indeed we tried, again and again, using plans from your, er...

but NOTHING could achieve your objective of

Ferreting Out Nodal Points Using IR Source Emitters
This experiment is set up with three IR transmitters,
which will be designed to act as point emitter sources,
one mounted on each Spatial Motivation Unit. The idea
is to move each IR unit relative to the remaining, and
determine if nodal points can be discerned. This is a
good physics or astrophysics experiment analogous
to sound and starlight using waveforms. This requires
an IR receiver to complete the experiment. To ensure
accuracy and minimize error, the frequency of the IR
transmitters must match.
3DSC Applications Note 013110
The Propagation of Heat Mixers
This application uses three heat point source
and moves the transmitters through various pathways
by program. A detector (Parallax MLX90614 Infrared
Thermometer Module (90° FOV) item code 28040, with
a BASIC Stamp HomeWork Board is setup and programmed
as the receiver sensor used to map out the temperature regions.
This experiment will answer Physics questions about heat blending,
mixing, geometry propagation, and the results of combined motions.
3DSC Applications Note 020110
Calibrating Spatial Motivator and Core Positioning
Some combination of core positioning may result in instability.
It is recommended to balance the cores by measuring the servo
ranges relative to the two remaining units, and program this
range into the code. This can be plotted or noted so motions
can adhere to the stability rule. Note the lower core and how
it can be used as a stabilizing base. Make sure to tighten the
stem after positioning.
humanoido
Showing cores only, the angle in the X_Y plane is
adjusted relative to the two remaining cores to achieve
greatest stability during motion or static applications.
3DSC Applications Note 020110
Thermionic Delta in a 3DSC
It is important to adjust the speed of each servo
to compensate for temperature stabilization time.
At high deltas, false readings can occur as molecules
do not have time to settle. At nominally adjusted
delta, thermionic readings will appear more stable.
Some additional factors to consider:
* Surrounding ambient temperatures
* Temperature of the cores
* Settle time of the MLX90614 sensor
* Stability of the heat point source
* Temperature differences of heat point sources
* Air currents
* Chill factors based on Delta
For example, at 5mph and 25 deg. C., the wind chill is 21 degrees.

Choosing 3DSC Moving Core Processors
To construct the 3DSC computer, Parallax BASIC Stamps were chosen for good reasons.
In fact, these are BASIC Stamps 1’s that have all the required power necessary. The base
is made up from a Stamp 1 Project Board and the remaining two cores are Parallax Rev Dx
boards which were chosen for their compact size and minimal mass for motion. Remember,
this computer has moving cores along varied axes called dimensions. There is absolutely
no requirement for video, PS/2 keyboard, multiple RS232 serial ports, cost, or SD card
storage.
Edit: There are always other choices for processors, just as there are many choices in cars.
Sure, there is always a faster car with more features, but do you really need it? No. You
just need a reliable car with the features you want for the type of driving you do. In this
project, we are driving with reliable road tested and proven Parallax BASIC Stamp 1’s,
which are perfect for the places we are visiting.

3DSC Application Note 021810
Exploration of Thermodynamics with the 3DSC
We know that light will bend into its constituent parts using a diffraction grating or prism,
or other materials such as atmosphere and water. Other physical properties include sound,
motion, heat and gravity. Einstein has already shown that gravity is bendable and is the
stuff that shapes the Universe. But can you bend sound, motion and heat? Indeed, sound
is bent by wave reflection off of a physical entity or material reflector. Motion is bent by
mechanical physical deflection. What about heat? Can you bend heat? How can the 3DSC
illustrate the propagation, bending or reflectivity, of heat? Is it a reflection like light, or a
propagation of thermal conductivity. Will other factors come into play, such as radiation and
convection for various heat distributions? Project Materials: angle iron, nuts & bolts, resistor
heat source, Parallax infrared thermal sensor thermometer, external power source supplement,
heat barriers, heat reflector. Set up two configurations, one for reflectivity, and one with a
barrier. The source (resistor) or the detector (heat sensor) is mounted on the angle iron under
the moveable core to achieve various spatial configurations. The second moveable core
contains the reflector or barrier. The results are recorded and plotted based on dimensional
position values and heat temperature readings.
Resistors in the electronic industry are used to reduce the current voltage by applying a
resistance against the current. The decrease in the electrical energy is accompanied by the
increase in the heat energy in the resistor. For this reason, resistors act as heat generators
and they conduct the heat to heat up the electronic packages they are mounted on. For

It seems to be three Stamp systems mounted above one another.
Humanoido believes there is something profound about it.
Leon: you may want to review the part about the three stamps. Did you know they are networked together as a single computer and have the concept of movable cores? The most recent application is a good high school Physics experiment. The profoundness is that students are encouraged to experiment and think about some of the concepts such as light, motion, heat and sound.

convection for various heat distributions? Project Materials: angle iron, nuts & bolts, resistor
heat source, Parallax infrared thermal sensor thermometer, external power source supplement,
heat barriers, heat reflector. Set up two configurations, one for reflectivity, and one with a
barrier. The source (resistor) or the detector (heat sensor) is mounted on the angle iron under
the moveable core to achieve various spatial configurations. The second moveable core
contains the reflector or barrier. The results are recorded and plotted based on dimensional
position values and heat temperature readings.
Resistors in the electronic industry are used to reduce the current voltage by applying a
resistance against the current. The decrease in the electrical energy is accompanied by the
increase in the heat energy in the resistor. For this reason, resistors act as heat generators
and they conduct the heat to heat up the electronic packages they are mounted on. For

Einsteins Theory's, the only thing this project seems to do in 3 dimensions is exist. Sorry that world be more existential but "relative".

Leon: you may want to review the part about the three stamps. Did you know they are networked together as a single computer and have the concept of movable cores? The most recent application is a good high school Physics experiment. The profoundness is that students are encouraged to experiment and think about some of the concepts such as light, motion, heat and sound.
