A COFFEE PLEASE

Beeing out on the campus is one thing we are able to handle, this will be the future of the new mobile workshop, but away from the coffeemachine is an issue. In the former workshop the machine was directly next to the place where we worked, so a good coffee was always in arms reach and also the first smell you recognized when entering the workshop.

For the new setup of the mobile workshop Douwe Egberts will support us with a machine to have a fresh coffee even out in the tent... wonderful, and as you know what they say: good ideas start with good coffee!

BUCKY BAR

Our students found an interesting project, the bucky bar, that was made entirely out of umbrellas, thats a nice concept and has the same spirit we have.

check out the website from the architects

 

RAACO PACKAGE ARRIVED

As we already mentioned Raaco is sponsoring the new mobile bucky lab with a huge set of assortainers and sets of boxxsers to carry all the small things and pieces. We finally received a full pallet from Raaco and start filling them with our parts, labeling will be done within the building weeks and find a perfect spot in the boxes is also one of the tasks for this period.

The Boxxsers are very handy, easy to carry and make things a lot easier.

BUCKY LAB AD

How do you fight against the rumors that the bucky lab is closed ...? Well, we had to close our former workshop because we only need it for about 4 weeks per year, but these news spread around very fast, so at the end the students were asking themself if the whole course is closed now ...This is of course not true, well lets say the opposite is happening, now the bucky lab becomes mobile and opens a total new way of thinking.

Within this semester we will build the new mobile workshop and to adress this we decided to start a campaign within the TU Delft and also give the students a new face of the course.

Well we have to say it worked out right now, having 63 students subcribed for the new semester, which is able to handle 45 students. So making yourself a fool sometimes pay off...and if we are able to adress the ones who still struggle to join the course, now you know at least who to ask.

 

ARDUINO SERVO CONTROLLER

We found a good how to about usinf an Arduinoboard to control a radio control servo unit. So have a look ! And of course a servotester like the kit from Conrad electronics will also do the job, if you are handy with a soldering iron.

 

SMALLEST GENERATOR

 

Last semester we tried to harvest wind energy on a small scale, so we used the motor that will normally let your mobile vibrate for some tests...and of course its not only a motor but also a generator.

BUCKY LAB UPDATE

 

Our students work very hard one week before the building weeks, the first renderings are on their way so stay tuned, we picked one shot within the process to share…this will become box no.5 the “bucky box” which will become the kitchen, edutainment and place for this and that….
