What are you or have you kickstarted/indiegogo'd?

[Retardobot]

"Lol my idea with the water and pump was something I figured could work."

I'm in hysterics that you started a funding campaign asking for $450K knowing NOTHING about what you're doing.

Despite $450K being about a 1/3 of what you'd need.

It's actually not a terrible idea. It seems the least you know about your proposed idea the more likely it is to be crowd funded.

Solar Roadways is up to 2 million dollars.

I'm waiting for you to start one for a new kind of dildo.

Lol that sum is for the entire thing. Not just the hydro generation. Ive worked with fountains and water flows so I would of thought the system like powerspout would work.
There are other options. Could dump the whole eco thing and use the grid.

Its more thought out than you would assume. 

I put the info on gofund to get it out there. Still yet to get detailed. ..

Or solar roadways panels!

[Gutty]

Or that ^

You missed the part where I said "450K only being a 1/3" of what you'd need".

450K might get you the fleet of electric go-karts, software, track and shelter.

[Gutty]

You reckon?

It's going to be a hydro powered dildo. Each thrust pumps a gush of water inside the dildo that pushes through a set of micro-turbines and charges a set of batteries. The power stored up will be just enough to play music from a small speaker.

Reminds me a bit of this:

the youtube doesn't work for me

Because you s'd your http.

[Bounty Hunter]

Because you s'd your http.

I'll s you're http.

edit: it looks better as you're

[toofast]

i havent even seen the idea created in the world. but im my mind its gold. id love to tell all but then someone could steal it :p

There would be 2 tanks of water. Using pumps to push it. Then itl be gravity fed to take it through rh the generators

You might be safe this time.

Wouldn't hurt to read this.

To add a bit more explanation to what bounty has said, just so it doesn't sound so easy...

Most, if not all, motors have high starting current (can be up to 6x full load current) as they rev up to speed, so you'd be wasting a lot of power by either starting / stopping the pump, or by running it constantly.

A 300W motor would use 1.25 - 1.3 amps, assuming it's single phase, unless you plan to only install in 3 phase houses, which a lot of people aren't. While that motor starts up it will be drawing 1800W. You could get around this by using a Variable Speed Drive but I think by that point you're just pissing into the wind.

Now that's only for a few seconds that it would be drawing that high, then it would run at 300W input power.

Maybe become a bio-engineer (is that a thing?) and create a bacteria that converts carbon dioxide/minoxide/what ever is in 'that ol' o-zone' ... into electricity. I know there is a bacteria already that converts SOMETHING into electricity, and I saw in the science thread a year or two ago, that there is a bacteria that creates peizoelectricity when you press it, and they were thinking of coating phone touch screens in it.

Tree's have some pretty clever ideas about how to get water up high without pumps:

[Tiwaking!]

I think Gutty should put his idea on Kickstarter

Look at this stupid fucking idea

[Gutty]

lol tiwa, thanks!

trouble with kickstarter is its limited to some categories

is there security cert fucked? lol

[Plasma]

Thanks. I know its been around for years. Lol my idea with the water and pump was something I figured could work. Obviously not.

Lol at that video. Crackin up

Fark everyones been trying to create unlimited power with lazers and shit. Better patent this idea and let everyone know to use water.

[Arseynimz]

I fucking went on Kickstarter again...

FUCK...

Novi Security
Cool little home security come smoke alarm dealio. I'm impressed, and as a renter this works for me, as well as having peace of mind for my stuff and the kids.

Fine Tip "Dart" Stylus
I use a stylus for my iPad, and this conquers one of the major problems I have when using it, so was a naturally immediate purchase.

I think I just jumped on the buzz of this as it's been really popular, but I can see the benefits for myself or my kids toys or other precious things.

XenoShyft Onslaught
Board game/card game. Looks pretty cool, and the art work is phenomenal.



I am now up to a lifetime backing of 23 KS projects and 1 Indiegogo. I have received 4 of those backed items, and am scheduled to receive the rest as follows:
July 2014 - 3
August 2014 - 3
September 2014 - 3
October 2014 - 3
November 2014 - 2
December 2014 - 1
January 2015 - 2
...
May 2015 - 2


I'm also keeping a note of the following two:
Moment Smartwatch
I've already got a smartwatch on the way, but the concept of this intrigued me, and interests me. Not sure I want it, but will keep an eye on it just in case

Metal Polyhedral Dice
I'm looking at these as a present for a friend who plays AD&D, and they're a different, but very cool present.

the novi is the only thing there that peaked my interest really

Who would do that? Who would use technological ignorance as a means to sell a bogus idea for personal gain?

[Arseynimz]

Yeah - was interesting to read about this today. I guess it was a "too good to be true", but hey for the amount of success you get and the level of robustness that Kickstarter has, I guess they all worked to make sure we're not ripped off.
