These are mechanical design files for the project. They include electronics part covers, brackets for moving a solar panel using NEMA17 stepper motors, and brackets for holding a quadrature of LEDS to the solar panel.

Created by Jeremy Blum & Jason Wright.

Codes, Schematics, etc are available on GitHub ( github.com/sciguy14/HelioWatcher ), and more info can be found at heliowatcher.com

A small, simple keychain in the shape of the surprisingly scary little creeper from Minecraft.

UPDATED 2011.10.27: V2 now has facial features and a better chain attachment.

The design itself belongs to Mojang and all that. Go ahead and buy Minecraft if you haven't already: minecraft.net Be warned though, it's highly addictive!

I've had this model for a while, but didn't know what to make of it, when someone suggested a creeper keychain. So here it is.

The picture with the key attached is the first test, I'm getting there, but there is still calibration to do on my Mendel.

This Machine is an an experimental prototype created for the purpose making light weight hollow castings from rapid setting resins cast into rubber molds.
-Centrifugal force allows liquids to flow evenly to all interior surfaces of an mold and cures to an solid state while in motion within minutes.
- ideally the motion of rotation could be optimized toward the shape of an object and the speed of an curing material so that the casting would have even wall thickness no greater than necessary to support the structure of the shape.
_This process would also lend it self well to casting waxes into rubber molds to produce patterns in an lost wax process for metal casting in an foundry situation.

This model was inspired by a stellation of the Icosahedron. I started out with a cardboard model. To that I glued pieces of CDs that I cut and painted a blueish-green. The center pentagons are aluminum that I cut from pop cans, turned inside out, and glued to the cardboard.
