well, hello there everyone . . . assuming that there are others reading this besides myself and young mr. reinhard. i hate to talk only of myself, but i must bring to your attention a great new step in my research!

i have finally perfected my Leyden skin(c). this is a substance consisting of interacting nanobots which can mimic the functions of organic skin, as well as making great use of the organic designs found in nature. however realistic it is, its application only falls in the realm of robotics; cybernetic application of the Leyden skin(c) is not recommended, in my opinion. adverse affects may result, and although i am ethically unwilling to do any research on humans, john wyles probably wouldnt mind.

anyhow, the difference between Leyden skin(c) and organic skin is more than skin deep(sorry, i can never resist a pun). Leyden skin(okay, enough of the copyright logo. i hate to sound selfish, but its MINE!) is applied to a robotic armature after a musculo-circulatory system has been installed. the Leyden skin automatically reacts with the processing core of the robotic armature, and it forms to its prorgrammed design.

in this way, Leyden skin can be altered with a slight change in code, and it can therefore assume a great number of shapes, although its usefulness is limited to a certain height/weight ratio. that is to say, although the texture, color, and features of the Leyden skin can be changed at will, the overall size of the body cannot be changed(it is restricted by the armature and musculo-circulatory system below it).

some unique features which i have recently been granted patents for include the ability for Leyden skin to operate while unattached to its host armature. its power source is the atmosphere, and seeing that the Leyden skin is made up of billions of incredibly small and efficient machines, the energy needed is small. the nanohairs which protrude from the Leyden skin do more than mimic human skin; they act as conductors of static electricty, hence the name Leyden skin(after the Leyden electrostatic generator).

the Leyden skin is also capable of taking moisture in the air or condensation on its surface and separating the molecules into oxygen(which it releases) and hydrogen(which it uses for power). this system is incredibly advanced, like the rest of the Leyden skin, and because of oath of silence to Wyles-Crowley, i cannot divulge any further specifications.

hopefully, i can apply the same principle for the Leyden skin to the nanostructures which make up a robotic musculo-circulatory system . . .

now, back to the lab! and then maybe later, a few hours of sleep.
