"Crude Awakening" Action Figures
Epiphany, Mumbatu and Ecstasy are three of the figures from "Crude Awakening," a massive collaboration created for the Burning Man event in 2007. One hundred and eighty people contributed in some fashion to the construction of the 100' tall "Revered Oil Derrick," the eight 30' tall figures of the faithful, the fantabulous and explosive pyrotechnics show, the original musical score, and the unforgettable finale that was seared into the minds of the 45,000 who witnessed it.

Hydraulic Flight Simulator
The Hydraulic Flight Simulator is a tabletop device that allows students of aviation to see in real-time the dynamic relationship between power and pitch. It show how energy is transferred from the engine to the plane as airspeed, how airspeed is turned into altitude and how altitude can be exchanged for airspeed. To do this, the Hydraulic Flight Simulator uses the medium of water to represent the energy present when an airplane is in flight.
The Hydraulic Flight Simulator was created to behave realistically, accounting for the loss of energy from drag, the effect of gravity, the loss of lifting ability due to density altitude, induced drag at high angles of attack and the complete loss of lift due a stall.
The Simulator can be used to demonstrate cruise, terminal velocity, service ceiling, slow flight, stall and stall recovery, decent, "dead-stick" decent and landing.
Instructional topics include discussion of potential energy (fuel supply and altitude) and kinetic energy (air speed) and the four forces acting on an airplane in flight; thrust and drag, lift and gravity.

It is based on Dr. Douglas Engelbart's original chorded key set and uses a combination of finger presses to type the entire alphabet. The alphabet is as simple to learn as the Alphabet in American Sign Language.
