   Treon Verdery to All   
   There are artificial arteries (1/2)   
   08 Aug 22 20:24:11   
   
   From: treon3verdery@gmail.com   
      
   during the 20th century i read research about how to keep them from getting   
   gunked up, another way to keep them from getting gunked up is to use witricity   
   or induction to electrify piezoelectric materials sheathing a multilayer   
   artificial artery such    
   that they vibrate, possibly ultrasonically to stir accumulated gunk off or   
   keep it from attaching, possible doing a cleaning cycle while the person   
   sleeps on a witricity mattress, besides piezoelectric layers at artificial   
   arteries broadcast absorbed    
   electricity like witricity could effect the body fluid contacting electrically   
   responsive surface of the artery with oscillating e- so both negatively and   
   positively charged proteins that gunk up the surface are repelled in   
   alternation, electrowetting,    
   or antielectrowetting might be possible, and change surface flow   
   characteristics and gunk adhesion, this could also work on vascular stents   
   that can absorb witricity, body access ports, and joint implants,   
      
   A simple modification to liposuction nozzles and tips could cause less harm   
   while improving aesthetic appearance and even heightening wellness.   
   Ultrasonically stimulated knives glide through materials with minimal force,   
   so a liposuction nozzle or    
   abortion tool could glide through tissue, cutting and sucking it out with less   
   blunt force, at liposuction being able to move through tissue with less force   
   means that smaller contours can be produced with less effort more precisely,   
   so a planned    
   topology map of how much fat to suck out where can have smaller features and   
   ultrasound co-imaging can guide the procedure, i read that sucking away the   
   abdominal fat on obese rodents makes them live longer so this could benefit   
   human longevity as well    
   as be a cosmetic surgery procedure, also, when you think of sticking a vacuum   
   tube in adipose tissue and sucking it up at 14.7 psi vacuum, if the fat is   
   liquified and homogenized at, or just before, the probe tip, the procedure is   
   faster, and the    
   liposuction probe can be smaller and narrower for better aesthetics, that   
   suggests putting another ultrasound tissue liqueifier or laser element at the   
   tip of the probe to liquefy and homogenize the fat so it is a liquid goop for   
   the suction tube. It is    
   even possible that a vacuum suction tube with piezoelectric vibrating above   
   human hearing would cause the liquiefied fat goop to travel easily without   
   clogging, even at very aesthetically precise narrow tubes used for sculpting   
   small features   
      
   A regular refrigerator that saves some perhaps single digit % of energy is a   
   household refrigerator with 2 dutch doors, and a seperate door for the   
   freezer, at a one door fridge, my perception is that a lot of cool air slides   
   out the bottom, and the air    
   in the fridge gets mixed with room air from the fan effect of the door,   
   splitting the refrigerator doors keeps the coolest air from spilling out the   
   botton and if the top dutch door that accesses the most frequently used top   
   shelf is half the size then    
   there is only half as much warm air mixing, another slight advantage is that   
   since people usually get top shelf items 60-80% of the fridge openings are top   
   door, which saves the energy from what would have been an all one door cool   
   air slide out.   
      
   I think i may have previously made a note but beyond human hearing   
   piezoelectric transducer microwiggling of radiator fins at air conditioners,   
   building heat pumps, back of fridge cooling coils, PC CPU heatsinks, baseboard   
   heaters with fins, automotive    
   radiators and commercial refrigerated storage coolers could increase air   
   mixing and be energy and $ efficient, also like the way sand moves is   
   macroscopic at vibrating chladni plates, bigger shapes and movements of   
   cooling air are possible on the fins if    
   different ultrasonic tones are sequentially made by the out of human hearing   
   range sonic transducer, moving the air and refreshing it, this could be a   
   simple circuit like an audio toy music chip (1-10ยข) that tells the amplifier   
   that feeds the    
   piezotransducer what sequence of frequency to make, which is a little cheaper   
   than a microcontroller   
      
   Ceiling fans are published as an effective way to increase comfort while   
   saving energy, adaptive surfaces at airplane wings that slightly change their   
   contours to be more efficient, ceiling fans with adaptive surfaces could   
   cool/blend air for greater    
   comfort even more efficiently, an ultra cheap alternative to a smart polymer   
   surface is to vibrate the fan outside the range of human hearing at less than   
   19Hz with a cheap piezoelectric element, cheaper than that is just having an   
   eccentric path pringle    
   shape making wobble drive, like the nonrotational motors of those photovoltaic   
   dancing character solar toys that has a magnetic winding that does a figure 8,   
   Pringle, or lissajous rotation, the microwobbling could be measured as causing   
   more air mixing,    
   i don't know if microturbulent flow at the fan surface is effective, but if it   
   is, a piezo sonic transducer at the fan at above human hearing frequencies   
   could make it vibrate, there is even the possibility of making traveling waves   
   of blade flexing if    
   the fan and ultrasound emitter are physics resonantly tuned   
      
   There are many technologies being researched to transform water into useful   
   hydrogen and oxygen gas, i have read about hydration shells where in liquid   
   water spheroid tesselated layers of h2o surround an ion or maybe a particle,   
   some additives can reduce    
   the number of hydration shells while others might increase it, changing the   
   number of hydration shells might increase the energy efficiency of splitting   
   water, so there could be an ion additive that does that, another approach is   
   that for systems that    
   use electrodes the nanosurface ball bearing look of the electrode might on its   
   own effect the number of hydroshells, if it does, and customizing it makes the   
   process more energy efficient then any of laser etching, chemical etching,   
   laser peening or    
   direct contact molding could make the better surface, direct contact molding   
   is interesting because silicone polymers can actually get a direct impression   
   from DNA, that is molecule sized nanotexturing, since the electrode is likely   
   conductive a very    
   soft near liquid metal electrode like a gallium alloy could pick up embossing   
   of a hydration shell optimizing pattern from some embossing element
