Fancandle USB
The different fans move over the candle before their individual action is activated. | |
One fan might spin and shoot a firework, the other might call a chef into the kitchen, the third of twenty might open windows. Who knows. The point is that the different fans are chosen based on user input or a preset program, and the fans are powered by the candle before they trip the signal for that
particular fan's event. That is all, minus the implications.

You're drunk, aren't you? |
|
| |
At least it's a fairly short bit of drunken rambling. Often, drunken rambling is tediously lengthy. Anyway, [-] |
|

We've got the remains of a 'smart house' controlled from a PC, that seems to have collided with a fantasy about having a permanent chef and fireworks range. Ooh - this bit must have hurt - some thermodynamically implausible candle-powered fans have got snagged on an extraneous USB interface and choked on a rather limited random-event generator. |
|
| |
<constable>Good evening sir, are these your implications?</constable> |
|
| |
Originally, I thought this would be a suitable interface for slow computers. That is, there would no longer be any arm flailing about what the f the computer is doing after you open an application, it's clear the fan hasn't even begun moving yet... |
|
| |
Then, I realized it could serve as the sort of concoction also understood by [pertinax], thanks. |
|
| |
Sorry, I simply don't get it. [-] |
|
| |
If I blow on them, will my computer speed up? |
|
| |
No, but if you blow on more than one at once, Windows will crash. Contrarian [+] because: |
|
| |
- I want to boost my ego by showing that I understand it (updraft from candle blows fan, fan generates tiny current, current triggers action by computer).
- It would look, er, beautiful or elegant or arty or something.
- With small enough fans, it would work. |
|
| |
Admittedly, the drink of choice was wine. |
|
| |
There isn't anything to get, really. I was just brainstorming the union between candles and computers. |
|
| |
Rayford, What's more is that you can choose which program to speed up depending on which fan you blow, yea! But, seriously, the device would need protection from this sort of trickery. |
|
| |
It seems your wine attracted whine. Damn those impurities! |
|

// Damn those impurities // |
|
| |
Like, with a huge concrete structure, tens of metres high, blocking a deep narrow valley ? |
|
| |
No, that's for the imnpurities. |
