Carbonium – Sandy

Faire: Rome

Maker: Carbonium

 

Sandy is an autonomous, inexpensive, and sustainable rover capable of cleaning beach sand of the most superficial litter. The project aims to put robotics at the service of the environment and wants to find a fast and inexpensive solution to clean the coast while preserving the local ecosystem and at the same time providing environmental data. The rover moves autonomously on the beach avoiding obstacles, picking up sand and trash that it encounters. The sand is filtered and pebbles and shells are separated from the trash by artificial intelligence algorithms.

Wrap It Up Handmade

Faire: Pioneer Valley

Maker: BJ Simonzi

Home: Massachusetts, United States

My hot item is my fabulous reversible Bucket Hat. I use either all cotton or a combination of cotton and upcycled denim to create unique, one of a kind reversible Bucket Hats. With the sun being so strong these days, a Bucket Hat gives you full sun protection. Unlike your typical baseball cap, a Bucket Hat provides protections for, not only your head, but for your ears and back of the neck. Golfers, cyclists, joggers, walkers, beach goers ... love my design and color selections. Each hat is typically a one of a kind original.

Safecutter

Faire: Rome

Maker: Mr Beam Lasers GmbH

 

The "Safecutter" project is a collaboration between scientists from the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) Greifswald and the Munich-based company Mr Beam Lasers GmbH, which specialises in the construction and sale of desktop laser cutting systems. With a desktop laser cutter, detailed engravings and the cutting of many different materials are possible. A perfect introduction to the world of lasers. Until now, this technology could only be used industrially. The reason was mainly the high acquisition costs and the potential danger. Since, depending on the material, different, sometimes toxic gases and vapours can be produced during the cutting process and the laser cutters are operated indoors, we are looking into how laser cutting can be made safer with regard to the exhaust gases in our research work. The focus is thus on ensuring safety. By: - hazardous material is detected before use - cleaning up any waste gases produced - analysing the composition of the exhaust gas - a safety shutdown is integrated Another important aspect of the work is the accessibility of laser cutting for the masses. Therefore, we designed low cost methods that make the purchase of the final product financially justifiable for the user and still reduce the dangers to a minimum. Ultimately, it is important for us to invest in this research topic because laser cutters and products of this kind should be available to a broad mass. But safe. Laser safe. The project was supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as part of the "Open Photonik Pro" funding measure of the "Photonik Forschung Deutschland" programme. The funding measure is intended to enable new forms of cooperation between science and industry and the maker and start-up scene.

Isola Ecologica

Faire: Rome

Maker: Avelon Bardhi

 

"Isola Ecologica" was conceived with the purpose of entertaining children whilst also contributing toward memory development and awareness regarding a very important contemporary theme. The game will consist of 1 board divided into 4 different environments (Beach, City, Park and Countryside), tiles depicting waste, 1 dice and the "Recycling Plant" which will have a digital reader inside to recognize the tiles, and some motorized hatches that represent the waste disposal bins. Each turn, a given player will collect 1 card from the environment rolled by the dice, place it on the reader, and then press the key corresponding to the correct bin, if the guess was right the LEDs will light up green and the trapdoor will open, otherwise the tile will have to be placed back on the board.
