Well, the first draft is done. Here's a vid without the powerpack, which took 95% of the time and money.
I learned at the fashion show that I have no idea what's going on with womens' bodies. S, M, L, and XL. That's all I know and it does not cut it.
Casual Profanity presents the Superfluid Skirt A1 from Dan on Vimeo.
cool saurce. I am kinda creeped out by how that tube is twitching around in the background. Also, I really like the ingredients list for this skirt.
super neat! could you get multiple colors by alternating colored oils and colored waters? (now my mind is wandering... multiple layers with say blue and yellow liquids that look green when doubled up... an otter pop skirt!)
that twitching tube works well with the drum beat.
girls... they are mystifying. though, i have been told that boys are stupid.
Amazing. This is the fashion people will be wearing if we terraform Mars -- we'll need the fluid suits for practical reasons anyway (warmth). Dan, you should market this tech to NASA for posterity.
The ingredients list isn't accurate now, I haven't incorporate the Arduino yet--I want to be able to draw patterns in air bubbles and also intelligently route fluid based on its color.
And, yeah, colored oils and waters was my original plan. Turns out the oil and water tend to mix after going through the pump, but I've got a cool plan to harness that.
I'm going to draw from the top and the bottom of the fluid reservoir (to get the oil and water, separately) and route them to different tubes. Then, on their return path, I'll have them mix so I can get 3 colors total.
cool!!
i just happened upon this article on an mit water wall which is tangentially related.
