Aroma Phone
Monday, April 9th, 2007By Father Goat Tonsils
The latest idea of Father Goat Tonsils is the aroma phone. The purpose of the aroma phone would be to transmit odors both good and bad over the phone lines. The sending end of this machine would consist of a gas chromatograph which would make a detailed analysis of the smell which one wanted to send. Once the analysis was made the information would be converted into digital format and be transmited over the telephone lines to the party with whom you were conversing. At the recieving end there would be a rather complicated unit which would recieve the data and mix a gas which would have an odor as close as possible to the original smell. The recieving unit would contain a few hundred cylinders of compressed gas of a wide variety. The gases would be chosen by chemical rules and mixed in a chamber. When the mixture was complete it would be analyzed for accuracy and then released into the room where the recipient was. In this way friends could smell your latest spaghetti sauce from across the country or persons which were not your friends could smell other less pleasant aromas.
