@waxen thistle you're rocking the flower poems! now we need to figure out a discord role for it...

The plasma itself is a isotope of hydrogen called duterium. We use up to 80KVDC to accelerate the ions to the point where they can collide and fuse together, thus releasing nuetrons in the process
vale cave
could you use uranium deuteride as a target? you could get fission to multiply the neutrons.

one has btle, one has wifi, one has LTE (cellular) afaik

can it be made into a point source? e.g. using focused deuteron beams? or perhaps using helium ions and bombarding a beryllium target?

@soft dawn fun! I was curious if anyone has done a take-apart on the fancy wands or figured out the protocol -- I'm guessing it's got an IR led in it and gesture detection? but maybe something much simpler?

@haughty quiver I don't have a Wizarding World wand, but I do have one from Great Wolf Lodge. I wanted to use it with the CPX, but the frequency is different than what CPX uses. It is a simple IR LED at the tip. It has a movement detector in it (one of those with a small ball-bearing like actuator). But it uses 38 KHz and CPX is 36 KHz (or vice-versa, can't remember.)

@haughty quiver Ah, cool. Perhaps I can bring one back and use it at home. I had an issue with the strength of the IR though. You really have to blast out in order for the camera to see the reflection. That's why I had to do it in the dark.

they have those drawing boards you can shoot ir light at them and draw with ir light too right? that would be cool to draw with wands
soft dawn
@haughty quiver Perhaps Universal went the reflection route to cut down on the cost of the wands. They're not cheap at Great Wolf Lodge!
fallow fractal
maybe its like a nintendo light gun
haughty quiver
yes, it's really smart, because I believe those are pretty danged expensive there, but probably super cheap to produce
all the cost went into the IR blaster and opencv system
soft dawn
@radiant ridge Yes, that's why I had 10 of them - because they are fairly inexpensive. I probably could stand to have more to get better coverage and strength.

"Suppose you look into the sky and you see a beautiful cloud and you like it so much and suddenly the cloud is no longer there and you think that the cloud has passed away. Where is my beloved cloud now? If you have time to reflect and look, you'll realize that the cloud has become the rain and when you look at the rain you see your cloud, and when you drink your tea mindfully you can see the rain in your tea. " - Thich Nhat Hanh
