They could sue us actually, it seems they've been building Mandelboxes since 1954! Title: Re: use the Mandelbox to roast nuts!? Post by: cKleinhuis on April 22, 2010, 12:50:41 AM omg, perhaps someone should write a fractal program with their mandelbox as logo

We could partner with them. Send them an explanation of The Mandelbrot Set, The Mandelbox (Fractal!), and an quick explanation of what has been going on here. Mention the Magazine Articles (I know of 2 - The one in Germany, and the one in New Scientist Magazine). It could be good publicity for Both Sites!! At the very least propose a link exchange. Maybe we could even offer Mandelbox based designs for their product? Title: Re: use the Mandelbox to roast nuts!?

Title: Re: use the Mandelbox to roast nuts!? Post by: Tglad on April 22, 2010, 02:14:29 AM They also have a good reason for calling it Mandelbox, Mandel means Almond in Polish or something. So it literally is an Almond box.
And we call it Mandelbox / Mandelbulb etc because Benoit Mandelbrot means Benoit Almond bread! :hungry: I read that somewhere or other. Title: Re: use the Mandelbox to roast nuts!? Post by: Tglad on April 22, 2010, 04:00:26 AM Hey, I found the true 3d Mandelbrot set, here it is :o
Title: Re: use the Mandelbox to roast nuts!? Post by: Nahee_Enterprises on April 22, 2010, 05:39:55 AM There are a couple of phrases that I found quite interesting on that web page:
"The Original Gas Almond Roaster" and "gas roaster" The first one makes me wonder what the heck a "Gas Almond" really is to be so "Original" ?? And the second seems kind of dangerous, since roasting most types of gas may lead to an explosion. :evil1: :crazy: :headbatting: :rotfl: Title: Re: use the Mandelbox to roast nuts!?
