Experimental Aircraft Assocation
We build our own airplanes from plans and kits. We are interested in all kinds of things related to building and operating recreational aircraft. Our organization exists to support all areas of personal aviation—everything from 55 mph ultralights to 350 mph carbon fiber turbine-powered high-altitude screamers.

Hiller Aviation Museum Bede BD-5 Homebuilt Aircraft
The Hiller Aviation Museum presents the unique BD-5 aircraft, a small, single-seat homebuilt kit aircraft created by US aircraft designer Jim Bede. The BD-5 has a small fuselage holding its semi-reclined pilot under a large canopy, with the engine installed in a compartment in the middle of the fuselage, and a propeller in the rear.

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.

Kite Aerial Photography Collective
The Bay Area hosts a particularly active community of kite aerial photographers. This booth will feature KAP artists Cris Benton, Elaine & Don Dvorak, Ricardo Ferreira, Scott Haefner, Brooks Leffler, and Ben Peoples in a discussion of images, technique, and scratch-built equipment
| Location: The Hangar near Techne group; and near a pole to hang kites on |
LinuxAstronomy.org
Eugene Clement
LinuxAstronomy is a collaboration between a group of volunteers, teenagers who need some guidance and some people from industry with an interest in astronomy. One current project that is being worked on is a remote controlled telescope. More information regarding this project and others being worked on can be found at http://www.linuxastronomy.org.

Physical Pixels
I make mosaics out of found objects. Dice, matches, M&M candy, spent bullet casings, color pencils, anything small and cheap enough. I write programs that calculate layouts based on image files. Lately I started using a CNC router to make drill-out mosaics--images that are literally made of holes.

Team FredNet Is Going to the Moon
Team FredNet is going to the Moon!
Team FredNet is a registered competitor for the Google Lunar X-Prize. We are busy planning and building prototypes of the spacecraft, lunar lander, and lunar rover we will use to compete for the $20 million dollar first prize.
Come learn about our team, our plans, and drive our rover prototype at the Maker Faire!
