call for exhibitors MAKE:

I have been lurking for a while and I am in awe of the knowledge, curiosity and
generocity of the members of this board. I went to the Make: magazine maker Faire last
year and was blown away by what people were churning out just puttering around. If
you thought the segway was cool with two wheels, a Maker had built a balancing
unicycle!
Another person exhibited a heating coil that he heated with his grill to warm his pool.
Wind alternator tech was represented by the creators of the "chispito" a treadmill
motor with PVC pipe blades, and another person that attached strips of metal to the
spokes of a bicycle wheel.
( I was not able to tell if he was able to make any electricity).
Given the incredible projects on this board I would like you to consider
exhibiting at this years event http://makerfaire.com/bayarea/2007/callformakers/. I do
not represent the magazine in any official way other than in the spirit of the open
source movement personified in this website and Make: magazine.
p.s. jerry I would love to see (buy) a garbogen instruction manual. Why not,Radio free
Berkley was selling plans for a 12v radio transmitter. CalCars
converted a prius into a plug in hybrid they claimed would get 100mpg in 3 days
Dan(s) how about a turbine building demonstration?
Moved to a more appropriate section. T

This ia a back view

those are window shade blinds hot glued to the spokes.

i never tried this outside , but it did pretty well in front of a fan.This was my pre Fieldlines attempt at a motor conversion.

This is a side view.

Wish I had more time. The Garbogen has been around for 5 years or so. I've built a bunch.

Wish I had the time to write the book. Most of the how to on the Garbogen is scatered about here on this board over those 5 years. Its had a bunch of upgrades over the years.

Early on the curved NEOs that worked the best were readaly available. There real hard to find now.

NTL has made available from time to time a slightly smaller version of the original magnet. I think he'se out of stock right now though?

Maybe in the future I may go to one of those shows?

bsafe thanks for the kind sugjestion and thoughts. Its nice to have people looking out for you.

Best regards
JK TAS Jerry
