    There is no free lunch: using mechanical amplification results in the same problem as described above, and spring return means that your actuator has to push that much harder to ov…

    Is honesty an important quality to you? Does lying by omission concern you for the people and projects you choose to interact with?

    Tons of questions, this is incredibly cool! Can you discuss: 1.) How you compensate for anode consumption/geometry changes over the lifetime of the anode. For instance, does the ce…

    Yah, please post it! Can you speak to the minimum resolution and wear rate/lifetime with single electrode approaches?
