The tree generator March3

For quite a long time I had the idea of creating a generator that could transform some of the energy from the trees into electricity. To be more accurate  transform the energy of the oscillating branches moving by the wind into electricity. 

The first prototype is almost ready and here is a small video showing how it is looking. There are still a couple of things to improve, and I also need to make a casing for it, especially since I plan to put it outside.

Linkage prototyping game (prototype). Feb 17

I’m not sure if the title makes any sense but I hope the idea does. It is a simple borad game where anyone could build their own mechanisms, using simple gears and linkages.

A game where anyone could start exploring how the world around us works and discovering new ways to improve it. 

In the video you can see the famously acclaimed Jansen Linkage, conceived by the matchless kinetic sculpture Theo Jansen.
