Mechanical Computer for CuriousMarc

Curious Marc will love that but not the tariffs the US will levy on him for importing $2M of Astronavigation

Skookum awesome! This is exactly the right thing! Thanks for defrosting it! And thankfully I didn't get burned to a crisp in the land of Kwalifornya.

It's a slippery slope. You start out selling utility knives and before you know it you're moving regulated ITAR materials across international borders. A tale as old as time, but a tragedy nonetheless.

ChrisBoden, CuriousMarc and AvE - my planets are aligning for 2025!

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

"b-52 bomber astro tracker" had a google search trend spike from absolute zero to 100+ within the last 24 hours. Nice.

Knowing how selectively ITAR is enforced, you'd probably be fine shipping the computer. But get nailed for shipping the Milspec yellow connector plug.

Very happy to see this going to Marc. I saw the thumbnail and thought “oh no not another one torn apart!” Then read the title and was very relieved.

What I like about Curious Marc is that he can figure it out, and he has a lot of people on his team that figures that stuff out as well, if anyone can get it working, it's going to the perfect home.

I’m a fan of Marc’s, but BOY did we miss out on one helluva BOLTR.

Rats.

[dtnicholls]

Good to see you offering to send it off to Marc.

The chances of him ever seeing another one have to be low to non-existent, and having it work again has to be better than the short term fun of just having a poke around inside.

Welcome back! I had to search you out to see that you were posting again.

[wjenkins]

As an avid watcher of both channels. This collaboration was not on my bingo card. 😂

[alanosta]

This could be the greatest collab ever

[BlueSkyScholar]

I rehomed some way way overpriced Apollo caution lamps a couple of years ago to Curios marc. Random epay purchase that turned out to not be what I was looking for. My purpose in this life is to dig up weird old junque and pass it on to someone that can really appreciate even more than me.

Finally a device that rivals the Juicero

[graemedavidson]

This device has a whole new “target” audience….

"The old barn here, ain't drone proof' is pure gold.

[redriderxbilly]

Oh man I remember when Chris got this. Im happy to hear yall are in contact

Coldware is an acceptable name for Cold War hardware. We need to make this talking thing more efficient.
