Fool_4's automatic PE device

I’m not really getting what you are trying to make Fool - I have not much time to read it deep either, sorry - maybe kinda an electro vacuum pump? New ideas are always welcome of course.

On a different note, just read this:

I’m not sure this really stands; connective tissue, like tunica and tendons, reacts in a viscoelastic way; if you try to shock them, they will oppose way more resistance than if you gently lengthen them; neither I’m sure we are searching for “microtears” as most of people seems to believe. Maybe ‘shock loading’ is not what you really had in mind, perhaps something like cyclic loading, as Capernicus suggests?

Anyway, probably you should start a specific thread about your invention and its updates. I could move related posts in a new thread - ‘Fool4 PE engineriing or something’, if you like.

I am hoping to complete the body end of the rails tonight, this will be most likely a hoop or oval of steel to give the user a non-sharp thing to strap in with. Eyeing my extra IO cards I seem to have everything required in that arena. The tension servomotor amplifier is still in the air as I consider my options (all equip I already have). I would expect to have some basic functionality within a week of today.

Lets all hope repetitive stress does more than strengthen, otherwise many of the PE tenants are flawed.

Marinera,

See I am NEW, that’s the kind of feedback I am needing. Your post probably just changed some code on my part. No jerking then, still lots a device that could jelq tirelessly with all kinda of variances for as long at it could be tolerated could do.

Fool_4: I really like that you are putting your engineering knowledge to your PE experience. This is why I like this forum, it gives us all a place to “bounce” ideas off one another, and light fires of imaginative conceptions from others. Way to go!!

Marinera: You changed your Count Drac picture. I only noticed it because I always think of the new movie “Hotel Transylvania” movie when I would see it.. :)

Dang the “feature creep”, the non-clear portion of the “effector” is now to be wrapped in nichrome wire with an RTD for control-ability. Heat is being mentioned by too many to disregard it’s believed benefits, and it’s no big deal to add another settable parameter at this point.

You may want to look into IR heat as a possibilty. I understand it is deep tissue heat and you don’t have to worry about frying your skin before any heating effect gets to the ligs and tunica.

It is probably more “controllable” as well.

It wasn’t Dracula actaully, but the actor Alberto Sordi in an old movie, ‘Complexes’

Well I like your new Al Bundy avatar (sorry Al Bundy ).

;)

Have you seen that movie? It’s still hilarious.

Fool_4,

You have a great mind, very inventive, you may want to have a look at this thread when thinking about the stretching cycle

Johan is a believer now! JAI

And don’t forget the big emergency Stop/Release buttons in fact you may be better off with a dead mans switch or button in case you pass out from pain if things go wrong.

Looks like I have hit a developmental delay. Reciprocation was planned using timing belt/pullies directly driven by the servo gearhead motor in the photo, seems I don’t have any appropriate timing belt on hand. Options are to switch to a ballscrew drive and turning the motor 90 degrees (but the only ballscrew I have is long and VERY high precision a ‘0’ that’s $$$, I can not cut that puppy up for this). I am on hold until either I get a cheapy ballscrew/ballnut or some more timing belt. I so wanted to have this thing at least going through it’s movements this weekend. Maybe I stop with the mech dev and concentrate on the controls and the HMI screen designs. I wonder should I include a “joystick override”, say up down to take manual control of the recip and side to side for increase or decrease of gripping force or tension? Just thinking through all of the variables I come up with; Speed of movement, length of movement, force of movement, vac level used to “slurp” the penis back in on the down stroke, vac level used (if any) during the pulling away (while clamped by the pinch valve), pressure of the pinch in both the released and gripped state and should this vary along the stroke? I am now dropping the heater for the moment, as there is just too much kit here until I get this thing to Jelq first and foremost.

Thanks for the supportive comments, I am now working on this as much for myself as I am for the potential “adulation”.
Still I am not getting a big head over this new mouse trap, as it has yet to catch the first teenie weenie little mouse.

Oh on the IR heating comment, I am not sure how that works.. You mean like a heat lamp over or under the device? I just know resistive heating with an RTD would give plenty heat and be controllable. If/when I implement heat, imagine the base area staying at (I don’t have a clue as to the right temp even) 130 degrees and the system stopping here and there with maintenance vacuum of course to allow heat to soak into your base and body. The options are limitless. If there is a new IR heat thing out there more info would be welcome.

Thanks,

Crap, I am probably going to go back to the drawing board, the $12 worth of Walmart casters rolling in two din rail “tracks” was not optimal (though nothing stops me from going ahead with ver 1.0 as it is), ball bearing drawer slides would have been a MUCH cleaner and tighter solution. Why did I forget about freaking drawer slides? When I think about how much narrower and smaller the over all footprint of this thing would be with the forgotten “Slides”, I cannot go forward with this as it is. The size, noise, wear as it’s currently devised does not give me a warm fuzzy (big or small).

Sorry to break these up into so many posts, I should think more and post less, apologies if I bore.
Here are a couple progress photos showing the “strapping ring” in place (sharp corners on rails not ground out yet), showing the “effector” has PLENTY of travel to fully engage it’s user. My thoughts are moving a lot faster than I seem to be able to shape metal, plastic and rubber.
Next photos should be of a drawer slide based version, looking way more practical and having far less opportunity to pinch fingers etc.

Until next half thought post,
