Deep In The Coils
Wednesday, July 11th, 2012 -- by Bacchus
Last year when I first noticed and mentioned the then-new-to-the-market Neon Wand electrical sex toy device that competes with the venerable violet wand at a much cheaper price point, I had a few people in meatspace ask me “So, what’s the difference?” And I was all “Umh, well, ya, it’s like, cheaper y’know, and solid state, no moving parts, and, um, maybe a little less powerful they tell me…” I’m good at interfaces and software, but I’m not the sort of guy who has to know how stuff works at the hardware level. (I own several screwdrivers, but when I’ve got one in my hand, something has gone seriously wrong, and odds are, some new shit is getting purchased real soon.)
Fortunately, mad scientists who do understand that tricky hardware stuff abound. One of them is Franklin Veaux, whose review of the Neon Wand contains the essential electronics/hardware discussion you’d never get out of me:
A lot of folks say that a violet wand is a Tesla coil. That’s not actually true. A Tesla coil is an air-cored resonant coil in which the primary and secondary windings share the same air core. You vary the output of a Tesla coil by varying the primary winding.
A violet wand is actually an Oudin coil–an iron-core resonant coil where the primary and secondary winding share the same iron core, and the primary winding is attached to a mechanical interrupter. You vary the output of an Oudin coil by changing the interrupter. In a violet wand, the interruptor is a magnet that vibrates very quickly; you change how strong the output is by turning a knob connected to a screw that actually changes the height of the vibrating magnet. That’s why violet wands always make that characteristic buzzing noise; you’re hearing the magnet vibrating.
The neon wand doesn’t use an old-fashioned Oudin coil at all; it’s entirely solid state. It uses a circuit board with electronics that are more similar to a camera strobe than they are to a resonating coil, though that’s a bit of an oversimplification. Basically, they’re an entirely different technology that does pretty much the same thing. These differences mean that the neon wand is way, way cheaper than a violet wand.
The more you know, right?

Enjoying The Tormenter
Tuesday, June 28th, 2011 -- by Bacchus
So Franklin Veaux has been working for awhile on a sex toy controller he calls “The Tormenter.” Apparently it features a programmable Arduino board so that an insertable buzzy sex toy can be turned on and off in unpredictable patterns over a lengthy period of time, for the purpose of arousing, but not satisfying, the user.
I’ve seen his tweets from time to time, but I’ve been kinda “Meh, mad science” about the idea. But he recently tested a prototype, and I have to say, I quite enjoyed reading the test subject Lapis Lazuli’s subjective impressions:
The device cycles between 11 different patterns (for now), and is USB enabled so that more can be uploaded. But those patterns aren’t static. Like, there’s one that’s just on-off pulses, but that pattern picks a random number of pulses each time. Even if I recognized it, I didn’t know how long it would last. And there were a few longer patterns that started with on-off pulses, too, so I didn’t know that it wouldn’t turn into one of those.
So, between the randomness of pattern order, and the random variables within individual patterns, I couldn’t recognize any of them. This functioned as intended.
Some of the patterns were really short, some were really long, most were in between. The short ones were just enough to remind me that I was wearing a vibrator in public, but not long enough for me to get any pleasure from. The long ones were agonizing because they actually did arouse me, and yet weren’t long enough for me to do anything about it. The medium-duration ones were sufficiently arousing and frustrating. I believe at the time I said the average duration should be longer, so that there would be more arousal (and therefore frustration) and less simple startle.
Just more proof, as if we needed any, that mad science is nothing without enthusiastic test subjects.
Eros Is An Outlaw
Monday, October 25th, 2010 -- by Bacchus
Your lesson for today, courtesy of Dr. Faustus at Erotic Mad Science:
Eros is an outlaw, a bandit, a scoffer at decencies. That’s why so much of erotic fantasy takes place in settings that are beyond the reach of morality somehow, some of which are not at all nice: the savage tropics, the oriental harem, the depraved convent, the women’s prison. Nazisploitation is just a development of this. If you embrace what you are, you’re going to find some things that will make other people pretty unhappy. Face it, live with it, and flourish.
Amen, Brother Faustus!
This was in reference to a fifteen-second clip from a Nazisploitation movie that once caused our Mad Doctor to “withdraw promptly into the privacy of his own chambers.”
