Human-Powered Ultracapacitor LED Light
Mike Rigsby
In places where there is no electrical grid, this system can supply enough energy (at 120 volts) to light a room, power a laptop computer or run a radio. Because the ultra capacitors can withstand hundreds of thousands of charge/discharge cycles, they will rarely have to be replaced.

Hack Cool Things with Microcontrollers!
Anyone can learn how to make cool things with microcontrollers! Even if you've never sewn a button, you can actually make a fun, intriguing project at the Faire. Blink lights, hack your brain, play video games, turn off TVs in public places — microcontrollers can do it all. This is for all skill and experience levels. Ages 5 to 100. You can even learn to solder! Learn all this and more from expienced makers at the Hardware Hacking area in the Maker Shed.

Bleep Labs
Bleep Labs was begun as a solution to the world's ever increasing appetite for anthropomorphic synthesizer toys. Designed by Dr. Bleep (John-Mike Reed) and Goopymart (Will Guy), these instruments are made by hand in Dr. Bleep's Austin, Texas workshop and sent to noise lovers the world over.
Our first instrument, the Thingamagoop is an analog synthesizer that you control in a different way. Instead of using a keyboard, the main oscillator is controlled by a photocell.The

Blinkybugs and LED Art
Learn to make blinking electro-mechanical insects with Ken Murphy, creator of Blinkybugs. They're made from just a few simple parts, but respond to movement in an almost lifelike way, blinking their LED eyes when their antennae pick up even the slightest vibration.
Ken will also demonstrate his LED Art Kit. This is another simple project: a framed piece of luminescent LED art that projects an endlessly shifting pattern of color and light on a translucent screen. They're easy to make and each one is unique.
