Innovative buoyancy elements for snorkeling, scuba diving and deep sea applications

Faire: Rome

Maker: Rainer Kuth

Problem: During scuba diving and other deep sea / underwater applications common tools like lamps, cameras, knifes, fins, masks, etc. sink fast when accidentally lost, because their density is higher than water. Sportive divers with deep-licenses can dive up to 40m for a short time and tech divers for app. 100m after complex preparation of highly sophisticated equipment and training. Loss of tools is frequent, expensive and dangerous, because sea is deeper than that at most places. Challenge: Manufacturing buoyancy elements + with a density significantly less than water + while these shall withstand high hydraulic pressure + while the buoyancy force should be exactly defined and independent of depth is not trivial. Solution: 3d printing / additive manufacturing using special parameters upon printing and optionally with hybrid processes support making buoyancy elements with individual shape and buoyancy force. With such e.g. a loss of a mask with individual glasses for 1000€ is avoided: the mask will slowly rise to the water surface for save and easy recovery. Making such buoyancy elements is possible with a 3d printer for less than 500€, a free 3d construction software and a free slicing software using special parameters. Contribution: I will show on the booth: + Free design software for buoyancy elements + Free slicing software +

$DIY Math Games and Puzzles - Maker Faire Bay Area$

DIY Math Games and Puzzles

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Alternative Education

Home: California, United States

My project aims to provide children and families with a unique opportunity to experience mathematics through games. These DIY games are designed to have a low entry barrier and a high potential for engagement, encouraging kids to think critically and solve problems. Additionally, recently I have reached out to Mr. Cixin Liu, the renowned author of 'The Three-Body Problem' and recipient of the 2015 Hugo Award, and have received authorization to incorporate intellectual property from his science fiction works into the games, presenting children with meaningful puzzles to solve. Through this project, I hope to help children understand the importance of mathematics and its relationship with science, while also recognizing and appreciating the beauty and value of math.
