To the lady and all you geeks out there...
Just getting into DIY electronics (mechanical engineer) and found the lady on instructables. Keep all those gadgets coming! Can't help you with development, but ask me if you have car problems.

Oh, I can fix that problem. <rolls up newspaper>magician13134 wrote:I've got a car problem; I want a DeLorean, but can't afford it, can you help me there?
But in all seriousness, welcome to the forums, there's some pretty neat stuff here!
The DeLorean is a tremendous pile and you don't actually want one. The motor was a V6 made in a joint venture between Peugeot and Volvo. That motor is notorious for seizing cams due to poor oil return from the head (though less in the Delorean due to the positioning of the motor.) Parts made of unobtanium. Lower performance than one would expect from a car like that. Trust me, you do not want anything that has Peugeot's mark of the beast on it! No, no, no! <rubs nose in picture of DeLorean>
Sorry, but you have to stop them before they think that wanting a French-engined car is acceptable.
So, I imagine there is a line around the block of geeks in love with the lady? Wonder why she hasn't developed an open source geek tazer?

Ahh, but how am I supposed to get BACK TO THE FUTURE?! I guess it wouldn't work anyway, the darn things don't even GET up to 88mphmooseheadm5 wrote:Oh, I can fix that problem. <rolls up newspaper>magician13134 wrote:I've got a car problem; I want a DeLorean, but can't afford it, can you help me there?

I guess I'll settle for an Aptera, it's got Gull-wing doors too... plus I get to brag about being green. Can't wait until non-Californians can get them
For some reason, I was under the impression that she DID do some work with a taser... *Frantically uses Google to the fullest of its abilities*mooseheadm5 wrote:So, I imagine there is a line around the block of geeks in love with the lady? Wonder why she hasn't developed an open source geek tazer?
Ah ha! She did reference an MIT-designed taser jacket in her final thesis. I knew I'd read something about that
