Drone Spa Episode 5 - “Charging Port”
When drones need a recharge, they emulate the patterns of their human controllers: Check in to a spa. In particular, a Drone Spa - a facility dedicated to drone maintenance, programming, and upgrades.
All rubber drones come equipped with a charging port at the rear of the unit, where the chrome-plated, stainless steel Primary Electrode Node ("PEN") must be deeply and securely positioned.
In this video, we see an apparatus for securing a drone so that involuntary movement during charging and programming will not cause interruption to the procedure. The drone's boots are strapped tightly to the base, so that the drone does not rise off the platform as the PEN is inserted.
The PEN is attached to a piston and crank, which is slowly raised into the drone's charging port, until it is firmly seated. Now, the drone has three points of contact with the apparatus, and will not wander off if there are glitches in its programming.
This particular drone is in for a "deep recharge" - in addition to adding fresh power, its reserve energy will be fully drained in order to facilitate extended battery life. This is accomplished by putting the drone in "recycle mode", reusing its exhaust gasses in a rebreathing loop, to reduce energy usage, and by supply CPU-enhancing gases via an inlet hose.
Soon, the drone will be lost in a dizzying array of stimuli, and the spa technician will monitor its responses and adjust the procedure, and the PEN, accordingly.
With the drone's boots ratcheted tightly to the platform, and its balls tensioned with a rubber tube, there is no chance of involuntary movement interfering with the procedure that is to follow.
The technician now wires up the PEN to a portable high-voltage power unit, so that the drone may receive a "deep recharge" as prescribed by its controller. Next, a set of electrode rings is placed around the drone's engorged member (a common side effect of the procedure).
The drone's exhaust gases are recycled to reduce energy consumption and to enhance the effects of the aromas being supplied via a hose connected to one of the facility's many supply lines.
The technician then carefully, but not too slowly, increases the current surging in through the PEN and out through the electrode rings, causing the drone to shake as it adjusts to the new charging mode. This is normal.
Finally, with the drone completely disoriented and dizzy from overstimulation, the technician implements an extraction procedure to cause the drone to discharge its stored-up reserves, and begin stewing new juices as the high voltage charger and the gas supply are left in place overnight.
