hello I have just removed my first body hair using this DIY hair electrolysis machine I built. The current is controlled by how hard you squeeze the pop can and the power source is a car battery. I intend to improve this but for a first attempt I cannot complain

@november just you wait until I have some time to work on this properly this weekend. currently I am procrastinating on a presentation I'm supposed to be preparing for. I have crazy visions of what I want this to be. it's gonna be great

@zvava I am not sure on the exact mechanism. Most of your body resistance comes from the skin, so probably the increased surface area helps, as well as the fact that you're squeezing the skin a bit so it's thinner? idk idk but it certainly makes a difference

@n3tcat do you use the can as an electrode in your hand? when I built a diy electrolysis device years and years ago I used a tens pad stuck to my jaw, from what I know the electrode has to be as close to the treated area as possible

@Critias yeah I was grabbing the can with my hand and removing the hair from the back of the same hand. Tbh I don't think the distance between the electrode and the needle should matter too much, so long as you have enough voltage to push the desired current. Of course, if your heart is part of the circuit, then you really need to trust your current limiting. An overcurrent event when the electrode and needle are close should be much safer

@flamingspork @n3tcat me too. I think the flames etched into the side of the battery given an intimidation bonus too

@sweet_as_candi For this version probably not; it's too janky for serious use. I was mainly just making sure I understood the mechanism and that I could handle inserting the needle and the pain (of which there was very little).My next version will be much better and I'll be open sourcing it. of course I cannot promise it will be safe or anything; use at your own risk

@n3tcat I love this. NF-A9 is to get rid of the smell of burnt hair?

@fwaggle hehe, actually this doesn't burn the hair so there's no smell (:

Alright, designed and ordered something nicer. This is, in theory, a full electrolysis machine

@n3tcat a) this is incredible will you be publishing gur schematics / board / instructions somewhere??????? (i would love to not have to find a hair removal place, pay a bunch of money and then have someone else poke me)b) how does gur pop can squeeze sensor work thatd be amazing for my next wierd game controller

@bx a) So I do open source all my projects so that'll be board + schematic (including bom) + code + 3D cad files for box and the actual pen thing. I probably won't publish instructions though - both because I don't enjoy writing instructions and because I'm a teeny bit wary of people using this device; I believe it to be pretty safe but it is obviously not certified in any capacity and could totally have problems that I've overlooked. I would be very sad if anyone got hurtb) basically the resistance between your body and the can goes down the harder you squeeze. I'm not sure on the exact mechanism but it is pretty non-critical on the conductor

@n3tcat that PCB is very neat, and then I clicked the thread and saw the car battery and slightly screamed.Still, very cool.

@n3tcat a) makes allot of sense!b) ooohh, so you can use it as half a voltage divider to get an squeeze-controlled voltage you can use for an amplifier/mcu input???
