Travis' Wiki

This project is about creating a long-lasting artefact that does something interesting.

The current plan is to create a glass sphere with a cavity in the centre containing some electronics.

Here's a list:

• Self-powered,
  • Solar,
  • Peltier and thermal mass,
  • Supercapacitor.
• Resilient,
  • High or low pressure,
    • Bottom of ocean,
    • Vacuum.
  • Shock,
    • Drop-proof to at least 1m onto a hard surface.
  • Background radiation.
    • IR,
    • UV,
    • Cosmic rays.
• Long-lasting,
  • A decade at minimum, preferably much longer.
• Interesting,
  • Least to most interesting:
  1. A light,
  2. A blinking light,
  3. A light that blinks a morse coded message,
  4. A screen that displays a message,
  5. Interactivity,
     1. Covering the solar panel can be an input.
  6. Displaying a random wikipedia article.

Core areas of work:

• Housing
