AI Thread Summary

Gastrobots are robotic devices designed to assist with food preparation and cooking, often incorporating advanced technology for efficiency and precision. The discussion highlights a recent effort to improve the Wikipedia entry on gastrobots, indicating that the current information may be inadequate or flawed. There is a misconception that gastrobots are medical devices, but they primarily focus on culinary applications. The concept is seen as innovative, though personal interest in acquiring one may vary, with humorous references to domestic challenges like pets stealing food. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the potential of gastrobots in modern cooking while acknowledging the need for better informational resources.

Tell me everything you know about gastrobots. Throw very good links if you can. I recently built up the wikipedia entry, but I think it is seriously flawed.

I've never heard of such a thing until now. In fact, until I Googled it, I thought that it referred to some medical micromachine for fixing ulcers or something. Seems like a cool idea. I don't think that I'll get one, though; it's bad enough that the cat steals my dinner.

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
