Anderson’s Famous Water Computer

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Glen Anderson

Home: California, United States

Buckets of water, lots of tubes, ping pong balls and flaps moving up and down, what can go wrong? 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!

Maker: Arend Mathijs van Buuren

Home: Zuid Holland, Nederland

In een tijd vol wegwerp-design van snelle zeefdrukjes onderscheidt Tegendraads zich door de hoogstaande kwaliteit van haar producten. Kleur wordt op subtiele wijze gebruikt in zorgvuldig uitgedachte combinaties van draden, waarna een 15draads high-speed borduurmachine de designs uitwerkt tot draagbare kunst op ambachtelijk niveau.

Handheld CNC Router

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Cameron Chaney

Home: California, United States

I'm showcasing my DIY Handheld CNC Router project! It's a portable CNC router for precise 2D cuts on the go. Users move the router roughly along a pre-set path, while the bit adjusts to compensate for user error. Sensors detect the router’s position and orientation relative to the workpiece, then shift the cutting bit as needed. Unique to my design, positioning comes from optical flow sensors embedded inside the device – like those in computer mice. This simplifies its use and enables precise machining without prior setup. I've also implemented advanced control systems for stability and precision. While this started out as my Mechatronics capstone project, I am still developing the technology and hope to eventually bring open source Handheld CNC Router kits to the public.
