PyroFarms x Brown University Collaboration - Flow and Wave function
Students at Brown University used PyroDinos (bioluminescent phytoplankton) to display wave flow in a tank and photograph/record it, as well as calculate certain constants regarding flow and wave function. @brownengineering

Summary:
Though composed of mere specks, Vincent van Gogh’s infamous “Starry Night” is anything but stagnant, instead being perpetually characterized by motion. In our project, we bring this motion to life by using dinoflagellates, pointillistic phytoplankton that freckle their surroundings with light when stirred. Our images and demonstration seek to visualize dynamic flows of water, capturing fleeting feelings of vastness through the tiniest of organisms.
A tabletop scale internal wave generator was constructed as part of this project to generate controlled water waves for shear loading of the bioluminescent phytoplankton, causing them to fluoresce in the dark. A 10 gal aquarium tank two-thirds filled with water serves as the medium for wave generation. A servo motor controlled by an Arduino Uno - via a 3D printed crank arm assembly - interfaces with a “pusher wall” constructed from an 0.25” thick acrylic sheet. Controlled oscillations of the servo are used to move the pusher wall, generating a wave. The pusher wall pivots on a clay rail molded and baked from Sculpey modeling clay. A custom, triangular topography was constructed using 0.25" thick acrylic sheets and hot glue, and secured to the bottom of the tank with velcro. Topographies can also be swapped out to simulate different undersea land masses such as shorelines, seamounts, and undersea ridges, aiding in visualization of wave interactions with land masses. However, only one topography was constructed and evaluated for this project in order to streamline its scope. The characteristics and behavior of the wave generated by the wave generator is dependent on the motion profile of the pusher wall. Specifically, adjusting the total distance the servo motor turns (the “wave angle”) and the speed at which it turns (controlled via a delay before advancing to the next position, the “wave delay”) is observed to alter the amplitude, frequency, wavelength, and other properties of the wave.

    • @PyroFarms
      @PyroFarms 21 день тому

      That's an overly simplistic way of looking at this. First, the DinoTiles that were skateboarded and walked on are still alive and still being used for our current displays. PyroDinos are single-cell asexual microalgae that reproduce by one cell dividing into two cells. Therefore, they are all the same cells and share identical genetic identities. As an entire entity or organism, they are still alive and prospering. We lose skin, brain, and intestine cells every day, but this does not mean we die. When you mow a lawn, you are not blatantly killing it; you just provide more room and light for new grass to grow. There are nuances you need to understand before accusing us of mass microbial murder.

      PyroDinos can thrive for an extended period with proper care, providing a mesmerizing glow. However, like any living organism, they require suitable conditions, including light, nutrients, and water quality, to maintain their health and bioluminescence. While they can live for a considerable time with adequate care, it's essential to monitor their environment and ensure their needs are met to enjoy their glow for as long as possible. pyrofarms.com

    • @PyroFarms
      @PyroFarms Місяць тому

      Feeding is not completely necessary in the short term if aggregation occurs. Aggregation is a sign that feeding can take place. However, feeding is not an absolute requirement (in the short term.. weeks/months). You may also use your own sterile seawater at the correct salinity. more info here: pyrofarms.com/blogs/pyrofarms-blue-light-special/make-your-own-diy-artificial-seawater

    Why they dont produce light when we dont shake it?

    • @PyroFarms
      @PyroFarms Місяць тому

      Bioluminescent phytoplankton, such as PyroDinos, typically produce bioluminescence when they are disturbed or agitated. This phenomenon is a defense mechanism against predators in their natural environment. When the phytoplankton are disturbed, certain chemical reactions within their cells are triggered, leading to the emission of light. When bioluminescent phytoplankton are still or not in motion, these chemical reactions do not occur, and therefore, they do not produce bioluminescence. The light emission is a response to mechanical stimulation, such as waves, currents, or movement caused by predators, which disrupts the integrity of the phytoplankton's cell structure and activates the bioluminescent process.

    It's Funny Because if Oprah gifted her audience each some new pyrodynos instead of brand new cars when she did her favorite things episode in like 2006 or so, the World Would Have Been Such A Better Place. It would have brought the happiness the episode was supposed to be about and advertised as, instead of it looking like people got a cool thing but the cars caused so much problems and unforeseen finances with insurance that people didn't know they had to take care of. This is cooler and well more alive than gifting an audience any amount of new cars, is all I'm saying. It would make the difference on lasting happiness too and us establishing a relationship with products that transcends advertising and brings us back to the magic of the real deal, teaching us how to have better relationships with everything moving forward.
