AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores theoretical methods for achieving technology-enabled telekinesis, focusing on brain wave measurement and action over distances of 0-50 meters without physical connections. A proposed method involves using an electroencephalography (EEG) device combined with eye tracking to visualize and convert brain signals into vector motions for object movement. This would be executed by a swarm of nanobots, which would need to be designed to attach to various objects. The conversation also raises questions about the technical limitations of such a nanobot swarm, particularly regarding the mass and density of objects that can be manipulated. Overall, the feasibility of this concept hinges on the development of advanced nanotechnology and precise control mechanisms.

Theoretical methods for the realization of tech. enabled "telekinesis"

Ok, so the title is rather self explanatory, but essentially I am just curious as to everyone's opinions on a Theoretical method for the realization of technology enabled telekinesis.

So first let me lay down a few constraints:

This must function through some form of measurement of "brain waves"

This should be converted into an action over a general "movie" distance (0-50m)

There should be no "physical" connection between the user and the object(s) being moved

Be creative, and be physically sound.

My Idea

So how I would go about this is via electroencephalography-nanobot swarm.

To elaborate;

One would use some form of a wearable electrode (an EEG device) as well as an eye tracking device. Via visualization of the object moving, the signal being produced would be converted into a vector motion from the current position of the object (as perceived by eye tracking device, as well as possibly a front facing camera) to the desired position. Which would then be executed by a swarm of nanobots acting through synchronous action to move the object, now the method by which this movement will actually occur is a sticking point for me, or more so the limits on mass and dimensions.

SO, a second proposed topic would be to detail a method for nanobots that can attach to any object, and/or the more technical details of the swarm's limitations for the mass of objects based on the density of the swarm, etc.
 
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...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
