Optune Wizardry

Brain cancer is...


...conducting controlled Optune experiments.

Summer is the season for melting hydrogel on Darrell's arrays.  (Remember the original gooey sticky snowman head post of 2016?  Here.)

Darrell's arrays were pretty melty at the park today.  Walking six miles gives plenty of time to hypothesize about why his Optune unit would keep functioning, with no errors, despite the fact that some of the disks were clearly loose, freed from his scalp by the lack of gel.

Therefore, Darrell designed and conducted what is likely the first of a series experiments to test the limits of the arrays.  Above you see the results of today's test.  His unit continued functioning despite the fact that all but one of the disks on that array were loose.  Pulling off the final disk caused an alarm.

That's pretty amazing!  Rock on, tenacious Optune arrays!

Disclaimer:  Don't try this at home, kids! Darrell is a trained professional.  And he'd never compromise his usage rates.  Further, he was under careful supervision and was removing the arrays immediately before a scheduled change.  Safety first.  We'll do the experiments for you.


The Mystery of the Broken Brake Lights:  Resolved

1.  Andi and Darrell studied YouTube.
2.  Darrell bought this $5.00 part on Amazon Prime.  You know, the Dorman 74015 Brake Pedal Accelerator Stop. 
3.  See?  Before installation, the brake lights are on.

 4.  Then Darrell installed the part:

5.  And the brake lights are off!

Your work here is done Darrell!  Let's call it a day.
