The HolmesMade Roadster : an in-progress self built car

Faire: Wayne County

Maker: Aaron Holmes

Home: Ohio, United States

A couple years ago we decided our fabrication skills were growing and a stretch goal was to build our own car. After researching options and methods we purchased a Chevy S10 truck to use as a donor. The truck was fully dismantled, engine and drivetrain were harvested as well as many other parts. The engine was fully torn down and rebuilt, a first for us. Extra efforts were made to paint the engine block and accessories. To start work on the car chassis we constructed a sturdy build table with a flat surface upon which the frame geometry was marked out. We cut, fit, and tack welded square tubing together to make the car chassis. A four link trailing arm suspension was designed and fabricated along with a panhard bar to mount and control the rear axle. Custom front upper and lower control arms were also designed and fabricated to locate the S10 wheels spindles. Coilover shocks at all four corners suspend the car. Work continued on top the build table and we used our shop made gantry crane we brought to the MakerFaire last year to hoist the engine and transmission up and into the chassis. Engine mounts were fabricated and installed as well as a transmission tunnel. A steering rack was modified to support our front end geometry and fitted to the chassis with custom mounts. By the time of the Faire we plan to have a rolling chassis with seats installed and progress on a dash mockup. We look forward to sharing our project with Wayne County MakerFaire attendees!

ArcheoVerso

Faire: Rome

Maker: Centro di ricerca DigiLab - Sapienza Università di Roma

"ArcheoVerso" stands as a digital design solution for cultural institutions that want to be present in the metaverse, making full use of all the tools and potential, thus not limiting themselves to just a virtual presence. If for some time, all over the world, they have been welcoming VR/AR technologies as an opportunity to involve different audiences in new ways and on new platforms, the horizon of the digital universe is much broader than the simple three-dimensional re-proposition of own collections or paths. The interaction with the sphere of social media - and therefore the complexity of the relationships between physical users - makes the metaverse a frontier to be explored in its impact with the real world: ArcheoVerso will analyze its relationships and declinations from the point of view of cultural institutions, evaluating economic sustainability and technological and digital extensions that make it possible to expand its offer and capacity to involve the public.

Connecting Humans And Robots Through Wearable Haptics

Faire: Rome

Maker: Università di Siena

In this project, the objective is to record and transmit tactile sensations to the fingertip. We developed both the sensing part and the wearable actuation part. The sensing part is in charge of sensing tactile cues applied to the finger. The actuation part is a wearable robotic thimble that squeezes the fingertip, rendering in real-time the sensation experienced on the sensing side. Actuation and sensing counterparts are placed in different locations

Bethesda Starfield Frontier Ship Build

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Adam Savage’s Tested.com

Home: California, United States

The video game company Bethesda contacted Adam Savage and his team at Tested.com to build a model of their spaceship Frontier from the new game Starfield. We built a full ship and a cutaway cockpit model. The team is Norm Chan, Sean Charlesworth, Mel Ho, Adam Savage, Kayte Sabicer, and Darrell Maloney. We altered the existing computer models of the ship, 3D printed the parts, fabricated scratch build components, designed and installed electronics and lighting, and painted and weathered it to match the ship from the game. Then we filmed the model on a virtual LED stage on a motion control rig to show the ship in its game environments. In our panel we will discuss the build process with 4 of the team members and answer any questions the audience has.

The First Mod: bicycle-towed sailboat.

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Paul Freedman

Home: California, United States

The First Mod is a bicycle-towed 17' sailboat capable of carrying 3-4 people on sails. It's made with relatively ultralight materials including a beautiful translucent G10 hull. The spirit of the project is to help myself and inspire others to get out into nature without needing cars and trucks. I use an electric folding bike to tow the boat to the water. The boat doesn't sit on a trailer -- the boat is the trailer. Wheels pop in to sockets on the hull. The boat's hull was built from plans, then modified to incorporate bike towing. The size and shape of the boat were chosen to be the largest possible sailboat that could still be towed to the water by bike, in order to safely sail in the chop of San Francisco Bay.

Wi-Fi Enabled Stratum-1 GNSS Time Server Built From Scratch

Faire: Rome

Maker: Cristiano Monteiro

My hands-on approach to dissecting IoT from the inside led me to fulfill a long-time dream of having an on-site Stratum-1 Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. NTP is the decades-old synchronization protocol that keeps networked computer clocks accurate. The best-case scenario for an NTP server is being fed from a Stratum-1 time source, that is, for instance, connected to the source of a VERY accurate time, usually an atomic clock (also called, Stratum-0). A good amount of Stratum-0 time sources is constantly floating over our heads! The GPS satellites, each one carrying at least two cesium atomic clocks (accurate up to 1 second every 300 million years). The idea of using GPS as a time source is not new, there are dozens of commercial products available doing precisely that. But my goal is to make it cheap, accurate, self-contained, dual-powered (mains and batteries), wireless-enabled, and portable to use on the field in my HAM Radio activities. Powered by the ever-expanding universe of microcontroller units, this goal is closer than ever. Current functionalities: - Internal RTC synched from GPS satellites constellation (backed by CR2032 battery) - Dual voltage powered - Backup battery for the whole unit (18650) - NTP and RDATE (RFC868) protocols supported - WiFi functionality as a client or access point - Syslog logging - Configuration webpage for WiFi and Syslog, saving to persistent storage (LittleFS) - Informative display with a timestamp, satellites in view, accuracy, wifi server, IP address - Dual function button, short press switch information on display, long press disables WiFi - Status at a glance, with dedicated 5mm LEDs for GPS lock, PPS signal, and WiFi status, as well as visible internal LEDs for charging and GPS module statuses
