# SCIENCE
What on earth is it though?

# It has sensors in it to measure the orientation of the foot,
and the bits of string are so you can make it perform certain movements, and see how it moves in other axis as a result.
The other explanation is: foot puppetry.

# Yay to things involving bits of string!
Bits of string will be there at the end of days and time, with mice

# I also used a piece of guttering,
some corrugated plastic from my supervisors coldframe and vast amounts of insulating tape.

# Don't even go there with the insulating tape
life as we know it evolves around insulating tape, it's absence would be to terrible to contemplate

I can smell my breakfast..laters :)

# When you say "orientation"
does it detect gay feet?

# I was trying to find out the sexual orientation of feet when they're inverted and everted.
Yes.

# Good work.
I approve of this research.

# here's one of my SCIENCE™ from back when I was a labrat for plasma physics

# What is it?

# literally it's a mesh box
it was for a plasma immersion ion implantation experiment. Read about it here:

Triode configuration.

# Is it sort of like a Faraday cage?
It reminds me of a wee rat cage my mum and I made out of chicken wire so I could carry my rodents to the vet in it.

# yes and no
it's an equipotential surface and it is not to supposed to have a field inside of it. (Like a Faraday cage)

Interestingly, the experiment suggested otherwise...
