BubBowl: Display Vessel Using Electrolysis Bubbles in Drinkable Beverages
summary
BubBowl is a cup-type device that generates a 10×10 pixel dot matrix on a beverage surface by electrolysis, using a PCB active-matrix with FETs for each cathode and a continuous gold foil anode. Pixels are hydrogen bubble clusters produced from conductive, colored, slightly viscous drinks (coffee, café au lait, orange juice) and consume about 0.2 mA per pixel. It supports grayscale via PWM, can fix patterns in cooling gels like grape jelly, and shows slow spontaneous fade times that lengthen with higher viscosity.
