United States Space Force

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: United States Space Force

Home: United States

The U.S. Space Force was established on Dec. 20, 2019, creating the first new branch of the armed services since 1947. The establishment of the USSF resulted from widespread recognition that space is a national security imperative. When combined with the growing threat posed by strategic competitors in space, it became clear that there was a need for a military service focused solely on pursuing superiority in the space domain. Space Force defends and expands our reach in space—protecting satellites, ensuring safe access to orbit, and fueling innovation that lets engineers and students alike turn curiosity into real-world possibilities. They also run programs like STEMtoSpace, connecting Guardians with K-12 classrooms to share how science, space tech, and national security intersect.

VUT – Tištený včelí úl

Faire: Brno

Maker: Jiří Václavič

Home: Czech Republic

Na Maker Faire představím projekt chytrého včelího úlu. Za využití 3D tisku a dalších technologií jsem vytvořil elektronicky řízený úl, který automatizuje a celkově zjednodušuje včelařské procesy. Hlavními komponentami jsou motorizované rámky, které umožňují automatizovaný sběr medu. Pomocí webového aplikace mohou návštěvníci aktivovat tento mechanismus a sledovat, jak se jednotlivé části pláství uvedou do pohybu. Tento systém zajišťuje efektivní sklizeň medu bez nutnosti manuálních zásahů do úlu. Další důležitou součástí je elektronicky řízená ventilace, kterou mohou návštěvníci taktéž aktivovat tlačítkem. Tento mechanismus zahrnuje několik ventilátorů a servomotor, který otevírá ventilační dvířka, čímž se optimalizuje klima uvnitř úlu pro potřeby včel. Ventilační zařízení pomáhá udržovat vhodné podmínky pro život včel a zvyšuje jejich komfort. Úl je dále osazen řadou senzorů, které monitorují teplotu, vlhkost a hmotnost. Data z těchto senzorů jsou zobrazována v reálném čase ve webovém rozhraní, které si návštěvníci mohou prohlédnout. Tento systém poskytuje kompletní přehled o stavu včelí kolonie a minimalizuje nutnost fyzických kontrol. Senzorický monitoring umožňuje včelařům lépe porozumět potřebám svých včel a rychleji reagovat na případné problémy. Interaktivní prvky projektu umožňují návštěvníkům nejen sledovat mechanismus automatizovaného sběru medu a ventilaci, ale také si vyzkoušet ovládání těchto funkcí pomocí interaktivního uživatelského rozhraní. Dále se mohou seznámit s technologií CAD modelování a 3D tisku, která byla použita k výrobě jednotlivých částí úlu. Celý systém je navržen tak, aby byl cenově dostupný a snadno vyrobitelný pomocí běžně dostupných komponent a technologií, což umožňuje širší nasazení a modernizaci včelařství.
