So there’s good news and bad news on the Bionic Basic project. (For a low down of the differences between the Bionic Basic and the Bionic Deluxe, check out this earlier blog post and then here’s some more info specific to the Bionic Basic.)
Let me get the bad news out of the way with first. It’s looking very unlikely that the Bionic Basic will be available in the first half of 2019 as I’d initially hoped.
In terms of cost, it just wasn’t feasible to get an engineering studio to get it resolved to production within budget BUT, the Colorado School of Mines have very enthusiastically picked up the project.
Five mechanical engineering students have taken on the task of resolving the existing prototype to a production ready design by the end of the year. So, yes, this means a longer wait, but it also means a more refined and fully resolved execution of the design and ultimately a better product, so I think it will most definitely be worth the wait.
And as far as the Bionic Deluxe goes, Denver University are still making strong and steadya progress. As much as I REALLY want to be able to give away the juicy details, at this stage, I need to be a little bit “secret squirrel” about the specifics, but I can tell you that we’re now at a stage where we’re refining the subtle ergonomics of the device and starting to get the product testers involved. We’ve also decided that both designs will end up being somewhat more modular than the initial thinking, with not only the vibe, but also the cup being removable.
Can I volunteer to be a product tester? ???? I’ve been following this project for a year now and am still so excited to see the finished product!
Excellent! Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you’re looking for additional product testers.
I will be an excellent product tester! ???? Also, what girth & length size will the deluxe be?
We’re aiming for “average size” in length and girth in both flaccid and erect states.
Is this senior design, EPICS, or something else?
No it’s the capstone project for senior design students.
Will they finish this fall? Or in Spring of next year? I’m an alumnus in Mechanical engineering at Mines I’d love to be a design judge for this project. :)
Yes, they’ll finish this fall :)
Can you make this into different sizes (for both flaccid & erect) please? Because it will be packed, and I’m a very small-size guy :(
My partner is too, she can’t take on a medium->big penis. I love your product but end up not being able to buy any because of the size…. :(
I volunteer as tribute! =]
How can we become product testers?
If you could use another product tester, don’t hesitate to contact me :) I would also love to see some more details soon! I think this could become a lifechanging product :)
How does one become a product tester?
If you’ve raised more than $1000 through sharing your donation link.
I would love to be a product tester for this. I have been following this project since i found it last year. I can’t wait to see it in person!
Hey Alex, I have an idea! What about you let UppercaseCHASE1 test and review it like he did the Bono (now joystick) and see what he says so that you can get some good tips on how to make it better or so that the fan base can say what they like and dislike as well. Just a thought but that would be cool.
This is just absolutely revolutionary. I read through the comments on the Bionic updates and I genuinely believe you and those brilliant engineers don’t get enough praise.
I was following this product since most of us believed that it was just an idea: now that it’s a potential reality in the next couple of years, I’m absolutely stunned.
A very, very well done to you and the product developers, Alex!
Can I please be a product tester?!!! I love the smart peen????
Hey Alex, one question…will I be able to use the bionic even in I‘m going to have a meta-surgery?
If you are having testicular implants, then most likely no.
Are the basic and the deluxe going to be released at similar times?
I’m far more interested in the deluxe but if the basic is released much earlier than the deluxe then I might buy the basic while waiting for the deluxe but if it is only a matter of a few months then I wouldn’t.
Is the basic still expected by EOY?
When is the deluxe expected?
Yes, still hoping for EOY for the basic. The deluxe will likely be quite a while longer though hopefully 2020.
I’m so hyped for this, I just know this is going to be such an advancement. Only thing I’m worried about is cost, which I know is probably going to be in the high range.
Hey Alex. I know you guys focus on three colors for your products just to make it easier for you guys which makes complete sense, but I was wondering if for the darker skin, could you make one that is as dark as a cis dark black males penis please? Not too dark to where its literally black or else that would be unrealistic, but a tad tarker than the darkest color you have would be lovely.
Sorry if I’m asking for too much, it’s just I have the joystick, and I’m not super dark but I’m a roughly in the middle between mid brown and dark brown black person, and when I look at the skin tones of cis black males genitals, it’s always way darker than their skin which gives me disphoria looking down and not seeing the same. I saw someone ask this before but I don’t remember if you responded to them.
Please let me know and thank you for everything you are doing!
Hi M
The problem is that once you go beyond a certain darkness, it’s just not possible to get any distinction in tone from the airbrushing because of the dark surface. The pigment, in order to look natural has to be translucent, so it’s like writing with a pen on to a dark sheet of paper.
Thank you for replying!
I forgot to ask certain questions though which are:
1) when flacid, will it be floppy and soft similar to cis men, or would it be hard skin all around?
2) For either the basic or deluxe, would there be an option to make it become erect by massaging it? Like maybe if there were a button that would activate everything so that the wearer is ready, it can determine when the massages will signal the erection and when not to?
1) yes it will be soft and floppy
2) this is the idea with the touch sensitive shaft on the bionic deluxe
So, the semester is over(?), are there any updates you can share?
They are on their summer break. I’ve been continuing work on it while they’re on break and making solid progress. I’m hoping to show a video of the functioning prototype very soon.
