Big Birds Ice Cream Bike

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: James Telfer

Home: California, United States

I built this bike from scratch, based on the turn of the century penny farthing bike. It was originally built to showcase our homemade ice cream; turns out the bike is as big of a hit as the ice cream! This is built as a tricycle so that I could pedal slowly {you don't want an ice cream bike as a get-away vehicle!!} Men, grandmothers to teenage girls to children {in other words, pretty much everyone}- loves the photo opp being up so high on the bike. Additionally being up high gives one a sense of power and confidence. I have witnessed shy kids, break into a big grin sitting on top of the bike!

Robot umanoide Uranus

Faire: Rome

Maker: Elettra Robotics Lab

 

Uranus is a humanoid robot with 24 degrees of freedom (DOF) developed by ERL with the goal of reaching a height of 80 cm, surpassing the limit of previous projects. Uranus was conceived as a project to exceed the height limit of 60 cm set by previous endeavors. In addition to its size, the control electronics are based on two levels of intelligence: - The lower level is based on an 8-bit microcontroller that manages and interpolates the movements of the servos. This is the Poldino Servo Board with a PIC18F4550 processor. - A Raspberry Pi Zero board handles high-level tasks. On the mechanical side, Uranus has 24 degrees of freedom. The joints, excluding the neck (2 DOF) and hands, are controlled by 60 kgcm servomotors. The neck and hands have smaller servos with 20 or 40 kgcm torque. Apart from the two degrees of freedom in the hips, the torso is also noteworthy as it features two additional degrees of freedom: inclination and rotation.

Ginowoodwork/Rubenwoodcraft

Faire: Eindhoven

Maker: Ruben Verschueren

Home: België

Toen Maker Gino een plastische hobby zocht, kwam hij als zoon van een schrijnwerker snel uit bij hout. Aanvankelijk houtsnijden, later gecombineerd met houtdraaiwerk en het maken van kleine ornamentele meubels. Maker Ruben begon met het boetseren van beeldjes in klei. Daarbij maakte hij mallen van hout, Vandaar ging het over een mini draaibank naar houtsnijden. Het resultaat: houten diertjes, paddenstoelen en andere handige of kunstige voorwerpen zoals prachtige vazen, schalen en veel meer.

Making Math

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Nonscriptum LLC

Home: California, United States

We have written the books Make:Geometry, Make:Calculus and the upcoming Make:Trigonometry for Make's publishing arm. We will display many 3D printed, paper, and LEGO models that help teach and visualize hands-on math concepts and encourage participants to play with them and think about the concepts. For example, we teach the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus with a handful of 2×2 LEGO bricks and a baseplate. This will be a 'meet the authors' booth, with a chance for people to see the demos in our books live and interact with us.

PICUS

Faire: Rome

Maker: Giosuî Caliano

 

The restorer has the fundamental task of envisioning the objectives and selecting the appropriate methods of investigation, identifying the areas to be investigated, presiding over the interventions, and finally summarizing the results. The PICUS Project was born as a result of the perceived need of a large number of specialists in the field of preservation to obtain a simple, effective and low-cost aid to the process of diagnosing the state of preservation of properties, particularly those considered "minor" that have always had little attention mostly due to the inadequacy of available funds.

A biphasic metamaterial with simultaneous insulation of vibration and noise

Faire: Rome

Maker: Sapienza Università di Roma

 

A fluid-solid biphasic 3D printable mechanical metamaterial can be capable of simultaneous insulation of elastic and acoustic waves, which is essential for efficient sound and vibration isolation solutions. The structural design of biphasic periodic material is inspired by the triply periodic minimal surface lattice, which is suited to maintain the two phases separated from each other. To analyze the performance of metamaterials, dispersion relationships need to be calculated. Finite element models and optimization algorithms are applied to look for the largest realizable frequency stopband.
