Concentrating Solar Collector and Electric Car
Our inexpensive solar collector uses flat mirrors that track the sun to boost the output of photovoltaic cells. We use the power to charge an electric car. The collector is built by high school students at the Latino College Preparatory Academy in East San Jose, Calif.

Mechanization Takes Command
Metalworking machines and electric vehicles with an industrial aesthetic and an emphasis on simplicity. Made mostly from recycled and surplus materials. Featured will be my new 3 wheel electric car, and an electric motorcycle. I will also be displaying some drawings and models to illustrate the design-build process.

GigaPan - Gigapixel images for everyone
You can create gigapixel-plus images with a low cost digital camera and a robotic camera mount. Come see gigapans of last year's Maker Faire, see how gigapixel images can be used in education, and learn how to make your own gigapans and embed them in your website!

Burning Man Earth
Burning Man Earth (BME) is an initiative to gather and archive information about the art installations, events and people of Burning Man through aerial and Gigapan photography, GPS, APRS, user-generated data, and other tools and sources. This information is made publicly available to encourage the broadest possible access to and interaction around that data, for both the current and past Burning Man events.

K.I.S.S.
Keep It Simple & Silent. Homemade car alarms unlike any that exist anywhere. Simple. With a drill, wire, 12v relay, soldering iron, wireless doorbell system, & 15 min. I can show you how to make a silent $15 car alarm with a panic/alert button.

Electric Dune Buggy for the Highway
Bob Steinfeld
This is the 5th electric car I have built. I built my first electric car in 1972 on the chassis of a 1960 NSU. Extremely lightweight and preformed well on 48 volts DC. Then I built a later model NSU electric, a volkswagen Baja Bug, then a tube frame chassis from scratch covered with aircraft fabric, and now this 1967 VW Dune Buggy Electric.
The Electric Dune Buggy is lightweight has 12, 8 volt batteries, a Curtis PMC controller and an Advanced DC motor. I am working on pusher engine that can augment the car for longer trips or just leave that at home and drive all electric.

EV Miata
A classic red Mazda Miata converted to 100% electric drive -- no oil, no gas, no emissions. Not only is it clean and quiet, but it's quick and it handles as good or better than stock.

Plug-In Hybrid Car Conversions
The California Cars Initiative's fifth Maker Faire appearance turns a Prius into a 100+MPG plug-in hybrid by adding batteries and electronic systems.
We're partnering with a company selling conversion systems, 3Prong Power, and local volunteer advocates.
Plus we're explaining the next big thing: Conversions of large internal combustion gas-guzzlers.
