Your incorrect and arrogant assumption is that galvanic isolation is purely for safety purposes.

hey everyone, if someone is in your opinion arrogant, then that means literally every thought they have is an arrogant thought.  Wow didn't realize that thanks for that revelation.  *end sarcasm*

Let's unpack that logic:  so you think I'm arrogant.  If I assume peanutbutter and apricot jelly would taste good - while never having tried it on a sandwich - then that must necessarily be a arrogant assumption! 

This is folly sir.  Even if I was arrogant, and I'm not, that does not mean every assumption or opinion I have is also necessarily arrogant. 

Also, no, I don't need galvanic isolation as I've already proven and you've failed to disprove.  You really didn't even try to argue in favor of it in any significant way from a safety perspective.  And any function reason is ruled out since I can easily drive a 165v gate supply need.  I'd just need a 165v power supply that a small mosfet switches on to feed the gate of the highside switch.  How is that so prohibitive?  It's not.  I can do that.  There are many ways to get a 165v power supply for this.  A boost converter, a tiny transformer, etc.  It's no problem.

I already said safety was NOT the reason for galvanic isolation.

And any function reason is ruled out since I can easily drive a 165v gate supply need. 

I'm the one who told you that you needed 165V, but there are more details that I've deliberately omitted.  Clearly you have failed to investigate the topic further.  The blank box in your new power supply drawing is evidence of that.  Clearly you have no idea whether your 165V will work.  You're lazily waiting for someone to tell you what to do.

[artbyrobot]

As to the fuse placement, mentioned before, I actually have moved it to before the diode bridge rectifier which someone said it should.  I did this maybe some years ago but the old copy of my schematic didn't reflect the change.  My new one I linked does have this change.  I guess I see either way being fine then.

[KerimF]

So I'm able to enslave robots to my hearts content and these machines could care less about it.

Looking at the big picture here, this is the first time, I see an obedient slave whose master doesn't exist. And his master keeps commanding him: Don't give up... Don't give up... Let me exist and I will let you be the master and I will be your obedient slave.
I mean, if this is real, it would be a fact which I never imagined I can witness personally.

Also, if it is real, it may reflect, in a way, how our dear OP sees the purpose of our creation/existence, we real humans...

that's not true.  I didn't even ask anyone to evaluate my circuit originally.  I was happy to just trial and error test it one part at a time and already was gradually improving it on my own without any help.  So you once again make up another false accusation about me by saying I'm being lazy like I just wanted you all to design the whole thing for me.  I never asked for that.  And the blank box indicates there's many ways to do it and its just trivial to me.  I don't even need to design that blank box because I can just order that as a part to put in.

[artbyrobot]

not at all.  Humans have feelings and opinions.  Robots don't.  Humans are not machines.  Robots are mere machines.  I see robots as nothing more intelligent than a toaster.  Toasters don't care.  You can do anything to a toaster and it will never care.  The same applies to robots. 

[KerimF]

Humans have feelings and opinions.  Robots don't.  Humans are not machines.

I mean, why we call a robot a humanoid one while it is actually a machine?
For example, your future robot (say Adam's) could be called a handsome noiseless robot.

[Andy Chee]

I don't even need to design that blank box because I can just order that as a part to put in.

Really?  Then why not label the box with the part number, instead of leaving it blank?

[artbyrobot]

it's actually pretty funny that someone would have the gall to call me lazy when I am literally picking up the entire field of humanoid robotics like a crying screaming whiny 5 year old kid, throwing it over my shoulder and carrying it into the future single handedly.  Just ironic.

[artbyrobot]

I mean, why we call a robot a humanoid one while it is actually a machine?

We call a humanoid robot a humanoid because it looks like a human and acts similarly to a human.  That does not elevate it to becoming a human nor does it mean it is anything more than a human.  The same applies to a clay sculpture of a dog.  Just because I could call it a doggy sculpture does not make it a dog and does not mean it is sentient.

[artbyrobot]

because it's not important to the schematic involving my novel design and understanding my design.  That part would be something off the shelf so not necessary to label until I get around to that step later and actually pick a part.  And also it leaves it open to exploring one of many options rather than narrowing it down to a single option as though there is just one clear choice.  It also is something I have not decided on yet and don't wish to explore further until I get to that point in the project.  I also can summarize this by just saying I haven't gotten around to it yet.

[SteveThackery]

Steve, a hater, has unwittingly just exposed and shut down another hater in that haters complete ignorance.

I am emphatically not a hater.  I don't hate you.  I am completely satisfied that you are incompetent, with no grasp of reality and with the biggest dose of Dunning-Kruger I've ever seen.  But I don't hate you.  Rather, I am profoundly indifferent towards you, although I find your hubris a source of - how shall we say? - a source of horrified fascination.

Also, I didn't "unwittingly" do anything.  I knew exactly what I was doing and I stand by it - criticising someone's variable names is legitimate, but trivial.  Criticism should be meaningful.

Stop putting people into boxes.

Looks.like he keeps.posting but all ignored. So he's come to troll here to get some fresh blood.

[artbyrobot]

I am emphatically not a hater.  I don't hate you.

I don't consider a hater to be defined as being one who hates somebody.  One's own dad who loves them dearly can be a hater toward their son in some arena, rooting against them is what it means or talking smack aimed at pointing out the futility of them meeting their dream or goal.  Being an adversary on their particular quest toward something great and difficult.  Has nothing to do with hatred in the traditional sense of the word.

It has become increasingly clear that you are living in your own world -- where not only development projects and technology work very differently from what we take for granted, but also words have a different meaning. Elite, perfect, hater...

Which makes me wonder how meaningful an exchange on this forum can be. (Or elsewhere for that matter.) We son't speak the same language, we don't agree on the same ground rules. Maybe it is time to give it a rest.

The thing he will be forced to agree on is the physics of this world, and that is one thing he cannot change. He can disagree on it, but will be forced back to reality eventually when his designs follow the rules he can't talk his way out of.

Yes, but there is nothing we can do on this forum to either accelerate that realization or change the project's course. We can just wait and observe the train wreck, assuming that its live broadcast will continue.

[themadhippy]

when it shorts, a fuse blows and the thing is deactivated since it was outputting too high a voltage so something went wrong.  I'd then have to replace the fuse and test and figure out why it was doing that I guess.

And your only fuse is before the bridge? Looks like things are gonna get smokey

[Bud]

This is the deliberate strategy. Post shit, post it on youtube, let people watch the obvious shit, invoke emotions, they come back and blow the thread up giving it more visibility and trending on the Net, which attracts more views of the said shit on youtube, generating more money. 10 years of posting shit and counting. This guy is laughing all the way to the bank, and you folks make it happening  by helping drumming visibility of this thread.

[ebastler]

I am not overly concerned about that. Look at the number of views his Youtube videos are getting, all < 100. Ad revenue, if any, can't be more than a pittance.

He might indeed be doing this for the money to some extent; his two "other businesses" don't look like major sources of income. But a handful of views more or less won't do anything for his bank account, and won't change the course of this project (unfortunately...)

I really think a ban would be appropriate.
Treez was banned for less.

[themadhippy]

could this be one of  early cases of a newly discovered  medical condition? Large inflated ego,being the better than everyone else at everything they do,ignoring the advice of others more qualified ,spending hours spouting nonsense ,it certainly  sounds like a bad case of the trumptons.

I vote for simply moving this thread to "Dodgy Technology" section. I believe this would send the exact message needed.

Hard to say. I don't think he's trolling though. The first video was uploaded to YT Apr 8, 2014 -

Sculpting Finger Bone With Clay Using My Finger As Reference | Building Humanoid Robots #1

That's ten years ago and I don't think anyone would devote that much time to trolling one subject.

I do have a personal gut feeling all this has to do with a certain world view, so to speak, and this formed his strong drive to create a working "image" of human beings which he won't let go of. I also think that's why he says his creations are "perfect" and "pioneering" because according to his reasons for building this robot they must be stated as so, but I can't say anymore. I can't go into the reasons why I believe that here because it's off-limits, but I wouldn't be surprised if I was correct.

Nevertheless, no, I see no hope at all for the thing to ever work in any reasonable sense of the word no matter how much he works on it because of the quality of work if nothing else. But per my personal opinion as to why he's doing it, he will never give up I suspect. Sortof like alchemists trying to turn materials into gold, they probably believed to the death they could do it eventually. However they never did.

I must admit that it is starting to get a bit boring because - despite this being an extraordinarily long thread - you have made no progress, achieved nothing, and will achieve nothing, even when this thread is a hundred pages long.  Your posts keep repeating the same old tropes, so I suspect people like me will gradually drift away unless you can inject something new into the conversation.

I'd just let the thread go on because it's quite fascinating to me. If anyone doesn't like reading it then they can, using their own willpower, just stop . Who knows, perhaps someday he might actually move a finger or two?

[Gyro]

I can quite happily try to ignore this thread. The thing that's p*ssing me off is that it's it keeps wiping out so much of the 'Recent Posts' section!
