Toys for Tots by Arctic Warrior

NIKOLAI, Alaska -- U.S. Marines assigned to Delta Company, 4th Law Enforcement Battalion, deliver toys to children living in remote villages of Alaska as part of the Toys for Tots program, Dec. 8. After traveling to a remote hub of villages via aircraft provided by the 144th Airlift Squadron, Alaska Air National Guard, the Marines journey to different villages on snow machines. This year three teams of Marines traveled to numerous villages in the vicinities of Kotzebue, Galena and McGrath. Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve with a goal of delivering, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive and patriotic citizens.

LOAD Day 2 by kiwijesta

I used my paper piercer and an Amy Tangerjne template to make the camera, and then I stitched around each 6x6 by hand (wish I had a sewing machine!)

This is the story of a friend who just needed a little looking after so would come crash at our place from time to time.

Ruth's Lamp by Alan Lishness

This lamp was fabricated from two main components: a combination lamp and heater from a vintage chick incubator and a wooden sand-casting form for making brass, bronze or cast iron parts. The porcelain top of the light/heater included a transformer to step down 120 volts to heat the wires that wrap around the inner armature.

The base assembly is a hardwood form made for sand casting of parts to be machined. This particular form came from The Portland Co., a foundry and machining operation in Portland, ME that built marine engines, railroad locomotives and cast-iron building facades.

I flipped the light socket from top mount to bottom mount to keep the wiring out of sight.

An entry for the Challenge Group 115 pictures in 2015 No.99 Modern

Long gone are the days of the washing dolly and soap board. Today, every housewife would be lost without the modern convenience of an automatic washing machine. This shot is of the inside of the stainless steel drum of our automatic washing machine. The colouring is the result of a very small red/blue flashing LED light positioned at the bottom of the drum and just out of camera shot. I also used another small LED light positioned inside the drum (out of shot to the right) to illuminate the interior.

DIY: LCDuino-1 and 7805 in 'proto holes' area by linux-works

2

first use of the proto-pads area: lm7805 5v regulator chip. the input comes from the other side of the board, via a 2 pin molex header. the output (bottom 2 pins) of the 7805 chip are going to the board's 5v supply rails, thus the voltage regulator is now supplying clean power for the whole board.

also of note is the orange electrolytic at the top of the picture. that's straddled across analog-in-0 and ground and provides a smoothing effect on the LM35 temperature sensor, inside my espresso machine. this is not needed for audio (!) but only for when you load the ESPRESSOmaster firmware on this device.

Tool of the week: Bottom bracket vice block by VillaVelo

2

The bottom bracket vice block is designed to hold a frame sideways in a vice, clamped down at the bottom bracket. Having the frame held this way is handy for accessing hard-to-reach areas during clean-up, such as the shoreline at the bottom bracket and chainstays. It is much easier to file this area when the frame is on its side.

It simply consists of two cylindrical aluminium blocks, each stepped down in diameter to fit inside a bottom bracket shell. This was turned to 33.50 mm to fit in an English BB shell and also will fit everything larger. The larger diameter sits flat against the face of the shell. One of the blocks has two opposite flats so it can be held in a vice. The two blocks are clamped together by a 12mm allen socket head screw which is threaded into the lower block with the flats. A stainless steel washer at the head of the screw prevents the screw head biting into the upper block.

The idea for this block was taken from Geoff Scott(3rd picture), whose design varies in that a threaded rod is fixed into the bottom block, and both blocks are clamped together with a nut. Our version looks a bit more elegant with the allen screw - in theory a less durable design as the aluminium block's internal threads would be more prone to getting worn out from repeated threading in and out compared to tightening a nut against a fixed steel threaded rod. In real life, the difference is negligible and would take tens of thousands of uses over decades before any damage is done.

Quang machined this block from aluminium offcuts at work, done manually on a lathe and mill.

Fairchild A-10A Warthog Cockpit Section by Kelly Michals

Pima Air and Space Museum

FAIRCHILD A-10A THUNDERROLT II

Called the Warthog by its pilots for the plane’s unstreamlined aggressive appearance, the Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II is the first fixed wing aircraft in the U.S. Air Force designed specifically for close support of ground troops. The plane was designed around the massive GAU-8 30mm cannon. Mounted in the nose of the plane and firing more than 4000 rounds a minute the Warthog's gun can shred even the heaviest armor. The Warthog's design also includes a titanium armored cockpit section to protect the pilot from ground fire. The A-10 was introduced into service in March 1976 when the first aircraft were delivered to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona. By the late 1980s the Air Force was actively seeking a replacement for the A-10 and was focused on developing the General Dynamics F-16 into a close air support aircraft. Plan changed in 1990 when Iraq invaded Kuwait and the United States moved to defend Saudi Arabia and liberate Kuwait. The A-10 quickly proved itself to be the world's premier ground attack aircraft. Since the First Gulf War the Air Force has begun a program to upgrade and rejuvenate the Warthog and now expects it to remain in service until at least 2030.

In the 2009 post-apocalyptic motion picture "Terminator: Salvation" the Warthog is shown as one of the few aircraft remaining to the insurgent human resistance to the take over of the planet by robot killing machines. This actually makes sense as the A-10 is a rugged, easy to repair aircraft that could probably be kept operational when more high-tech aircraft would be impossible to keep in the air.

The cockpit section on display here was used in the production of the movie for scenes where the actress Moon Bloodgood and others were shown flying A-10s.

Baby needing oxygen by VBedard

1

At Mchinji District Hospital, Frankie noticed that this premature baby was very pale and breathing heavily. The nurse took the baby out of the box and put her on a tilted shelf under a lamp where she was slanted head down. Frankie suggested she not put her on a slanted surface. She said that she needs oxygen, so the nurse moved her over to a little bed next to an oxygen machine. This machine had 2 settings: 1 and 2. It was impossible to tell exactly how much oxygen was being given to a baby. They also did not have oxygen masks, so this tube was put up the baby's nose. This was a very sad sight to see. It is no wonder that the infant mortality rate is approximately 76 deaths/1,000 live births in Malawi. I imagine if you are a premature baby, you hardly stand a chance. This baby died 2 days later.

Krystal The Werewolf by Katrin Pastorelli

1 2

Before even being a Cyborg, Krystal already roamed the streets of the world alone. Being first turned around 150 years ago in France, Critasline Jesebell Neveux was left abandoned by a master who didnt want her. This turned into a lonely and solitaire vampire and started to roam the world. She traveled all over the world, learning about cultures and somewhat came across an ancient power, wich affected her.

She trained and studied the powers troughfully, she began to notice her own kind was not has powerfull has they once were. This enreaged her and she took on the duty of protecting her own kind from their worse enemy's, Lycans.

Changing her name to Krystal around 100 years ago,she hunt down a reasonable number of Lycans until around 2 years ago she was on the trail of one who had killed one of her long time friends. She was fuelled by rage and somewhat saved another person who was being attacked by the lycan. Before she was able to kill the Lycan, he tore out her heart, leaving her almost dead. In a mad attempt to save her life, she fired a shot with a silver loaded gun, finishing the Lycan once and for all.

Without her heart, Krystal was on the edge of death due to the lack of her heart and her regeneration became impotent, she only remembers fading out, waking up few days later with the person she had saved from the lycan looking over her. Somewhat she felt diferent no and soon found out why. The man was a cyber cientist and he had tried to save her life by giving her a cyber heart. somewhat gratefull, Krystal stayed with the man, finding out he had also implanted her with a cyberelectronic eye and in her body he had injected her with nanobots, so now she was a walking, moving vampire machine. This combined with the ancient magic she had mastered and her vampiric abbilities made her the perfect female killing machine.

But not all was perfect.... Her heart wasnt strong enough to evei withstand 5% of her powers potential So being that, Krystal had to take regular doses of a calming syrum t lower her bloodlust and rage.

Certain day she agreed to be infectec with Lycan virus by a Werewolf called Jakabok.... She changed and the virus fell dormant and her new face showed.

OVERALL POWER CONSUMPTION OF DC MOTOR 75 WATT PER HOUR

Published on May 29, 2014

[[ A system to reduce power consumption in industry ]] by :- J S PASRICHA

1) Previously the machines had AC Clutch and AC Induction motor i.e. 400 Watt to 500 watt consumption per hour. Now, I have used DC motor 50 watt to 100 watt consumption per hours

.

2) The size of DC motor now is which is much smaller than the AC motor used previously. The size of the table has also been reduced accordingly.

3) The battery of 70 Ampere 12 volt can be charged with single solar panel of 75 Watt and this can work for 10 hours where there is no electricity/ rural areas.

4) In cities, AC to DC converter would be used to run the motor.

5) The DC motor can work on small invertors also.

Overall, the idea of operating industrial sewing machines on DC motors is very beneficial and this project would be helping many lives in future

I am a 51 years old business man working in the field of Industrial Sewing Machines since 1977, i.e. when my age was just 14 years. After passing my 8th class, I started operating Button Hole and Button Stitch machines. That time the cost of making one button hole and putting one button was 2 paisa each. The more button holes and buttons were stitched, the more money I would make. This was my only source of earning bread and butter, but at times I would end up earning nothing in the day because of electricity failures and operational dysfunctions in the machines for which there were hardly any repairers around at that time as the machines were not made in India . After making lot of efforts, I was able to understand and fix some of the common problems myself that occurred in the machines. This helped me to great extend as I was no longer dependent on getting the machines repaired from outside or buying new machines. But the problem of electricity failures persisted. However, there was no solution to this that time. I moved on in life and my business, gradually got into sale and servicing of all kinds of Industrial Sewing machines and progressed.

But I wished if I could still do something that could help people like me at large who are till date struggling great deal and ending up compromising on their bread and butter because these high-load industrial machines like Button Hole, Button Stitcher, Overlock, Bartake, Feedoarm, Double-needle, Zig-zag, Belt machine, Elastic inserting machine, Snap button machine etc. do not work without electricity. Each machine consumes about 400 Watt of electricity per hour. Using these industrial sewing machines on present day generators, invertors and solar plants is possible, but that requires huge investment, set-up and space. Consequently, the profit becomes small. So this was not a welcoming and exciting idea.

I was constantly thinking of some other way by which these high-load industrial sewing machines could perform on low-load/ less energy and should be portable so that it could be used anywhere, no matter that place is connected with regular power source or not.

The whole idea was to make these industrial sewing machines available, accessible and operational in the most under developed areas and also save energy. For discussions, understanding and research on this proposal, I visited companies in abroad during 2001, 2002, 2004, 2007 but they suggested that the power consumption can be reduced to 50% but this was not enough, as this meant that each machine would still consume 200 watt per hour. I aimed to reduce the power consumption by 80% so I continued making efforts. After lots of research and experiments, I have finally been able to achieve success. Now all such high-load industrial sewing machines could be operated only at the consumption of 75 Watt per hour.

The Blue Lense Garden by Earth Designs

1 1

Earth Designs Garden Design and Build were asked to created a landscape and propose garden design in Hawkwell, London*. Here are the details of the project

The clients , Jon and Karen, have lived at the property for over 10 years. Whilst they have done some minor landscaping with the addition of decking in the last few years, they feel that the space has more potential. They called Earth Designs as they felt no-one locally to them could deliver the sort of look they are after. They require the space to be multi functional with an adult area and somewhere for their son to have some fun. Whilst they don’t want the garden to be ‘kiddie-centric’ they do want Jazz, their son, to be able to engage with the garden. To this end they would like a ‘grow-your-own’ area. They currently have a out building in the garden which they use infrequently as a bar area. This also houses a running machine. Whilst they are keen to retain the option of having an indoor bar, the size of structure does not justify the amount of garden wasted, so we need to find an alternative solution. They prefer calm colours and plan to spend a lot of time in the garden.

This design divides this small sub-urban garden into several distinct functional areas. Attractive, amber-coloured Yellow Balau hardwood decking will be laid directly adjoining the house to create a stylish and durable entrance to the space. Two eye-catching paths lead from either side of the decking up the garden to a small artificial lawn in the right hand corner. The paths will be constructed from 35cm squares of toughened recycled glass panels set into a sea of coloured glass mulch.

The main seating/dining area will be in the bottom left of the garden. An L-shaped rendered block raised bed constructed along the left and rear boundaries will enclose a rectangular decked patio, which will house a freestanding decked table and matching cube stools . Ample seating will be provided by an L-shaped decking bench fixed to the side of the raised bed walls.

Bespoke timber pergolas will enclose the lawn, seating area and glass mulch pathways. Constructed from 90mm x 90mm Yellow Balau posts and beams, these structures will feature a variety of ’alcoves’ in the sides, some of which will also boast coloured Perspex ‘windows’ for that extra ‘wow’ factor.

A bespoke log cabin summer house will be installed along the sideway to house the client’s bar and running machine. This will be built to exact specifications to fit the dimensions of the sideway, with full length windows and double louvre doors at the garden end and a door at the opposite end. This door will act as a gate to access the garden from the front of the house.

If you dig this and would like to find out more about this or any of other of our designs, please stop by our web-site and have a look at our work.

Talismans and Time Machines at Tam High Woodshop by Fabrice Florin

We made some cool 'pataphysical talismans and time machines this week in Geo Monly’s amazing woodshop at Tam High School in Mill Valley.

Howard Rheingold (a.k.a. Dr. Rindbrain) and Jean Bolte (a.k.a. Dr. Figurine) have been building a Time Machine model, which is coming along very well. It is a modular structure with five walls, which can house a wide range of interactive art works. It could grow into a 'collection of time machines’, featuring different artist's views of events that impact us all.

Fabrice Florin (a.k.a. Dr. Fabio) made hundreds of 'pataphysical talismans, using Tam High's laser printer, an Illustrator file created by Freddy Hahne (a.k.. Dr. Really). It only took a couple hours to print over 280 talismans, which are based on the symbol of unity, featured in stupas all over Nepal.

Our creative process is documented in this photo album: bit.ly/pata-photos

Come see the ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine at the Mill Valley Library this Saturday, Oct. 31, from 1pm to 5pm. Halloween costumes welcome :)
