Green Tech and Hydroponics Stuff

I own a company called Kensho SEED, and I want to use this space to project out some ideas around energy, and food systems. I'm putting together a business supplying restaurants with hydroponic growing indoors and on rooftops, and I want to expand into other areas (psst Andrew, we've spoken about algae and some of this stuff).  I'm also planning workshops for late winter that will involve compost and hydroponics on a residential level, and a program designed around guiding the process and building small scale units.

Dreamjob. How Do I Apply to be an Elf in Santas Workshop?

So Gina and I were having coffee this morning and chatting with our friend Katy, when I noticed her 18 month old Paul grabbing hold of a parked bike's chain. Even though I thought this was funny (becuase for no good reason I would have done the same thing ....from his age up until about a couple of years ago) I didn't laugh but warned Katy who noted that he just had a bath (bonus dirt points) and that he really wants to ride a bike and that maybe she should get him a tricycle.

3d Printing Problems on the Replicator 2's

Was finally able to complete a print of the infamous shift knob this AM.  Used Adam vice Eve this time and tried something completely different.  I mounted the (white) filament on Eve and strung it across to Adam.  It was much easier to monitor the slack and several times detected overwraps that would have not have been seen behnd the machine.  I suspect that even minor tension on the filament will cause the type of problems I have been having.  A good solution might  be to mount the reels on the wall where they can be better observed and controlled.  You definitely can't walk away and hope

HERMS Progress

Hey MakeHaven,

Just wanted to let everyone know we have several updates to the HERMS project page.  Have a look to get up to speed.

http://makehaven.org/project/herms-heat-exchange-recirculating-mash-automated-brewing

We're still refining the process, but we're also making beer.  I was considering scheduling a brew day to introduce people to the project, and get them some time using the machine.

Remote Control Car build

I'm forming a small project team to customize a remote control car.

Specifically, I propose we design a car from chassis up and fabricate much of it using the makerbots and laser cutters. I'd like to recruit someone(s) with electronics expertise to help with custom circuitry.

These cars are really cool. I've built a 1/18 scale electric that hit 60. We could exceed that, if the team is determined.

Perfect "vehicle" to learn more about Inventor and the makerbots. I'm thinking weekly meetings, but I'm open to ideas. I'm also flexible on project goals.

Ribbon Cutting Rocket

We are having our relaunch monday and we want the mayor to have something better than a regular ribbon cutting to kick it off.

One idea is to build a simple air powered rocket. We could decorate it with MakeHaven bling and fly it into a tower of cans or something? 

There are some great plans out there but they would take some work (for example:http://blog.makezine.com/projects/make-compressed-air-rockets-kit/)
