remedyu Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 You can get the disrupters here http://www.amobhitman.com/customer/product.php?productid=6448&cat=&page=1 Some props http://www.whataslacker.com/star_trek_toys/toys/models/ Can't find much on those anymore these days.

Symok Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 The development of a real, working replicator would play hell with our economy. Forged bills, etc are already a problem with the quality of printers we have today... imagine being able to create a copy of a bill that was identical at the atomic level to a real one. o_O Not to mention being able to replicate anything else that one might want... Your friend has a new $300 MP3 player and you want one too? No problem, just use the replicator to analyse it and recreate it. Bingo! :D I haven't read the articles yet, so I don't know if they're considering things like that, and how to avoid it, in making them. But, really, someone'll have too. Interesting times we live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazer Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 That tricorder doesn't sound very scientific to me. The EMF meter may be the most useful part though in a real scientific instument you are able to take a lot of information. I can use an unshielded radio as a crude EMF meter by hold it near a source such as the TV. There aren't many details so maybe it works better than that. It has a temperature sensor and barometric pressure sensor are fun and useful but a tricorder needs more. A normal weather station has a hygrometer, wet and dry temps etc and they can only tell give you a crude sence of upcoming weather. Meteorogists use sensor of a long range to help them predict the weather up to 4 days in advance. And yes Wahaha they get it wrong but that's because weather is chaotic ( ie small changes like the butterfly flapping its wings [though usually some a bit bigger] that can't be measured, over time cause changes to the weather that can't be predicted. ) This means no model can predict very far as you can't include everything. Barometric pressure is useful as a sudden drop can indicate the approach of a storm. The colorimeter sounds cool - wonder if it really worked - I saw a scientific one a couple of years ago for measuring the colour of barley grains - it was about the size of your average printer, though about half that space was the space to put the sample. Light meter an clock also sound reasonable. All this sound toy like to me it just doesn't do enough real measurements to be close to a tricorder. It needs something for chemical analysis and a whole bunch of different radiation sensors to say strength source and type of radiation. Having said that I still would like one. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoxjesse Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Yeah me 2, if i could find one.......i wonder if ebay would have one???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baka_neko Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I remember reading in the news about someone managing to make something similar to the "hypospray". I believe it was accepted too. However, i don't think it is cheap, and i think they are still testing it. I am not sure, though. We may be closer to being rid of needles! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindwalker Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Eyh. It exists. Instead of one needle penetrating your skin to deliver the medicine or whatever... there are thousands of tiny needles who pierce your skin. Very small. And they inject you with the stuff.

motoxjesse Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 I dunno if thats the same tho, is it? Hypospray doesnt have needles....i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baka_neko Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I belieeve there was one that shot it through the pores or the skin, or something with a super highpressure, super small air burst. But, I don't remember exactly. ^_^ I just hope i did read it right and it will be in use soon. XD I would prefer it to needles any day. XD Also, something neat that I read on the star trek site: http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/news/article/15340.html It all sounds intruiging. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
