(1) Touch Deep Time; (2) Old copperplate engravings catch new light

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Norman Sperling

Home: California, United States

(1) The layers of the “Geological Column” are pages of Earth’s diary, with the oldest on the bottom, newest on top. I’m collecting the first Geological Column of rocks formed during every epoch in Earth’s history. 41 different strata you can touch, from 3.4 billion years old to contemporary — more than 3 times as many as at Grand Canyon. Backed by a striking striped panel telling ages and what Earth and Life were doing in each epoch. Feel how Earth developed! (2) When copperplate engravings gave way to lithography in the 1970s, an astronomical magazine set aside its old pictures. I've polished them, and turned them into a mobile to catch new light.

This is an interactive outdoor exhibit that engages all ages: younger kids pour water buckets up to recharge the 'battery', older kids plug and unplug the logic gates on the demo table, and those up to the challenge can learn how NMOS digital logic functions in this faithful water-electrical transistor analogy (water height == voltage) 2019 Maker Faire: https://mfairedev.wpengine.com/maker/entry/69344/ 'How do computers add numbers? We will show you how, using a mechanical computer that uses only water as the power source. Follow the digital logic operations gate by gate as your input ripples through the tubes to compute the answer.' We won I think 4 Editor Choice Awards and drew a big crowd!

Robomobile

Faire: Bay Area

Home: California, United States

Robomobile looks like a giant version of 1960s-era tin toy robots, with a person inside pedaling an adult trike. It has lights, and can go anywhere and talk to anyone. Despite being boxy and simple, it looks friendly and kids delight in it. Everyone asks 'are you a real robot?' to which I answer yes.

One side has an opening in the middle of its “curtain” as a doorway into the space. Inside, visitors find a simple wooden bench and several camp chairs upon which to sit, rest, and contemplate spoonish things. A spoon chandelier with battery-operated candles hangs from the ceiling peak.

3D-Printed Electric Marble Mazes

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Gualala Gadget

Home: California, United States

We have a variety of battery-powered 3D printed marble machines that we'd like to exhibit. Each model is 3D printed using PLA plastic on consumer FDM printers. This takes anywhere from six to fifteen hours, depending on each model's size and complexity. A model is made from two to seven PLA parts, which are inspected and cleaned of any residual plastic that's a byproduct of the printing process. (None of the models require support material, which simplifies the cleaning process). Once the PLA parts are prepared they, along with the electric parts are assembled into complete models. There's no painting — the plastic is the color it appears. The models are designed in Blender. They use a variety of different mechanisms to lift the marbles.
