Who I Am

Maniac with vacuum tubes, wires and electronic boards. I like old mainframes and I enjoy installing Unix on many weird hardware devices. Occasional camel kissed when encountered in the desert.

  • Natural Intelligence-based Vibration Processing

    07/09/2016 at 18:20 • 0 comments

    Allright, in my first project on hackaday I covered some aspects regarding artifficial neural networks vibration pattern recognition and also an experiment which at this time is not finished yet.

    In the mean time, here's another experiment - interaction with a natural neural network (embedded inside a gorgeous creature) which could process vibrations in the audible spectrum without any previous training sessions/data.

    Enjoy.

Things I've Built

Mechanical diagnosis of fuel-based engines by vibration processing through hardware Artifficial Neural Network

Check the update logs from my ongoing "retro-futuristic automobile control panel" project. All details are there.

Restoration of a Communist-era mainframe - FELIX M-18 (licensed in the '70s after French IRIS-50)

And it is still work in progress. Not much information is available even after the Iron Curtain felt down in 1989. Only damaged parts survived the recycling process. Most of computing power is replaced by arduinos and a Marvell openRD platform.

Conversion of a 4 stroke monocylinder to work with hydrogen fuel

I converted a Honda GX200 engine to work with hydrogen-oxygen mixture extracted from water via electrolysis. At requests I can provide pictures and the scientific background research from my PhD theses. Will be listed on hackaday.io soon.

da, renovez casa, construiesc laboratoru, documentez tot. Mai am si foraj petrolier in curand, si o sa vina barza. asta nu pot documenta.

Da apar acus, sa am toate materialele stranse.

You did a lot of hard work for those projects, when I finally got 10 
spare minutes at my console I tagged them as good examples, so you
deserve every like. As for my project, stay tuned - more will come.
Thanks for the like.
