Not my area of expertise. I could explain how a laser works and the mathematics behind it; but getting the practical side of things going isn't what I know. Requires extensive knowlage of electronics and such, something I never bothered to learn.
To put it in a language you might understand better, you no doubt understand how you use a Synth right.. iirc the Roland 808 is a popular well known one used by the Prodigy. Well you probably understand how to use it in order to get the sounds you want, you might also understand how it works in programming terms as well (in-fact there is a Code version of on in the Code Snippets or 20-Liner Section of this Forum); however would you be able to build one?
It's the same deal, my area of expertise is theoretics. So to me it is simple to understand how it works (how the guy made the teddy bear one atleast) from his whitepaper. Though given I have almost no knowledge of how the electronics side of things would work I can move any theoretical work I could come up with, without someone who did understand the electronics side. Or at the very least it would take me quite substancial amount of time to figure out part-by-part.
