This hilariously impossible device has passed its proposed ship date. I'm sticking with my original feeling that it will never see the light of day, or if it does, it will be based on existing technology (Stirling or Peltier) and put out a few mA of current - not enough to charge a phone.

This guy did a good writeup of why it will never work. http://www.solarheatengines.com/2013/03/02/why-the-one-puck-wont-work/ He figures it will only put out 0.18 Watts in realistic (but generous) conditions.

Considering the sheer speed its hit the 2 million I wonder if they'll be looking at reviving the TV show. Veronica Mars took 5 hours to hit 1m, but didn't hit 2m until 29 days left. RR did it within 24 hours.

Ugh. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/376675685/the-wheel-in-motor-movie-going-digital The kickstarter itself isn't offensive (transitioning a drive-in theatre to digital), but its so obvious that the reason the campaign is going to flop is because of the rewards. They suck. And that really bites. Just look at this: Pledge $100 or more posted:1 Large Buttered Popcorn, 2 Medium Soft Drinks, Honored on The Wheel-In Web Site and on our New Digital Screen!, AND, 24 frames of Souvenir 35mm Film. Pledge $1,000 or more posted:1 Combo Pizza, 1 Large Buttered Popcorn, 2 Large Soft Drinks, Honored on The Wheel-In Web Site, and on our New Digital Screen! 24 frames of Souvenir 35mm Film AND a Logo Wheel-In Motor Movie Hooded Sweat Shirt! Yeah, $900 for a pizza, larger sodas, and a sweatshirt. Whose drat idea was this? Oh, bonus. The guy failed a previous kickstarter, too. Yet hasn't learned his lesson.

There's also the whole "30 minutes on TV is the old way, on-demand and online is now" thing that was mentioned in the kickstarter video.  But hey, how about a bad kickstarter? £220 for a "website related to friends catching up whilst playing the latest version of [Minecraft]"! TheMinecraftTalk posted:The website will be designed around all ages because the game Minecraft is played by millions, all around the world and it's any age group. We would not be creating the game Minecraft because it's already made Click here. We are creating a community based website where other members can show their builds, plugins and much more. Another dude wants $6,000,000 to purchase a one-of-a-kind Wu Tang album and destroy it. Destroy only copy of new Wu-Tang Album posted:I hate that the WU has devolved into such self-riotous assholes. This would be a tremendous idea if all the proceeds went to poor artists or cancer research or Autism or something. Instead it goes to the pockets of artists who have the entire world at their ear. Music and visual art are art. Art should be shared with the world. Especially to poor people and the culturally disadvantaged. I don't see how this project isn't mutually inclusive to denying that this work is art and should therefore be destroyed. Last part's serious. A $100 pledge gets you a ticket, while $10,000 gets you a piece of the destroyed album.  Finally, a true boon to the human race, Thought Amplification Rods.  Thought Amplification Rods posted:I am asking for $4,400 to kick-start my 'Thought Amplification Rod' business. I have eleven pre-carved wooden rods, but am no longer permitted to make them at my current dwelling, due to religious conflict. I have all the necessary tools for engraving, gold gilding etc, but need more gems and crystals along with more supplies and tools. Here's a better picture of the rods from the above blogspot URL;  (click to embiggen and appreciate the sweet, sweet runes) Motherfucking wizard staves.

That's assuming it gets a million a day. There's always diminishing returns in the middle, and then a last push towards the end. I could see it getting closer to the 10 milly range, maybe just under that

Seriously, look at all these Transformers movies, comic book movies, a Ninja Turtles movie, even Sailor Moon's coming back. All there need to be now is a new Battletoads/DoubleDragon game or movie and Pogs and I'll be convinced that it's the 90's again. My advanced guesswork that I ran through multiple cryptographic sequencers says that Reading Rainbow's kickstarter stop at $17 million.

Seems like there's been a string of layoffs at Harmonix every six months for the past few years. The death of plastic instrument video games took a toll on them.

Hey remember that Patreon crowdfunding site where fans sign up to give a monthly donation to artists? It's the end of the month so let's check back in on some of the projects we looked at and see how much money they're going to get at midnight tonight!Tim Chuma posted:Red Letter Media is now getting over $4000 per month to create videos Their pledge level is now just shy of $6k/m http://www.patreon.com/redlettermedia Still hasn't received a single pledge. Currently at $2,278/m for 'tingly' ASMR videos. Snowglobe of Doom posted:They're nearly up to $5000 now. Remember that this isn't a one off lump sum, it's $5k of automated payments every month. Zach Weinersmith of SMBC is getting over $8k per month (that's about $100,000 annually, minus fees and taxes) and even Tim Buckley is pulling in over $2.5k monthly from Patreon. SMBC is still a little over $8k/m, Tim Buckley has increased to over $3k/m and FilmCow is nearly at $1k/video (they published 2 videos in May). I was wondering whether their totals would hold steady or slowly rise or take a sudden dip at the end of the month when people realised they couldn't afford their pledge or whether they'd take a dip just after the end of the month when people got an automated email that their pledge had gone through and they think "poo poo, I've been meaning to cancel that..."
