Well, these guys were at Maker Faire last year but I missed their show everytime since I had a Maker booth.
This year, I got the whole footage on tape:

Enjoy~
Btw, you can find more information about these super-gigantic tesla coils over at Lod.org.
Boy, these things are way cool, maybe there’s more uses for it than simply a show. Perhaps, power my back-to-the-future vehicle, De Lorean. (speaking of which, I heard they were going to sell them again soon…)
Here’s an excerpt from their website:
In 1998, LOD designed, constructed and commissioned the Electrum Project, a privately-owned lightning sculpture in New Zealand. Electrum provided a “real world test-bed” for the computer-based design methods needed to approach a large-scale coil design. Electrum’s spacious top electrode also allowed a unique opportunity to measure in detail the intricate dynamics of the streamer discharges — by enclosing a human observer inside the sphere, armed with test equipment.
In 2003, LOD completed the second Conceptual Design [CD2], using the test data and experience gained from the Electrum Project. The CD2 makes several optimizations to the tower and top electrode geometry, and incorporates recent technological improvements in the primary drive circuitry. In the CD2 each tower is now 122 feet high and features shielded observation areas for experimenters inside each top electrode.

Remember we featured Touch Tetris way back last year? Well, I saw it in person at the Maker Faire 2008 so I had to post another video of how “cool” it is.
You can go here to find out how to make one yourself.

Wow, Maker Faire was a lot bigger this year over at San Mateo Fairgrounds near where I used to work.
Anyways, it was a lot of fun watching some cool gizmos, DIYs, and makers but it’s really crowded this year.
Wow, this is great structure of woman!
Phew, there’s a lot of stuff. You can check out my Flickr over here for all the pictures I took today. I have couple videos I might have tomorrow so check back!

Check out some of the cool photos from Maker Faire Austin, Texas.
It doesn’t seem as fun as Maker Faire held in San Mateo couple months ago but this finger painting LCD is kinda cool, isn’t it?

Basically this little device produces HHO and feeds it into your fuel line in your car. The HHO is produced by distilled water and baking soda. The only drawback is that you much keep adding the distilled water and baking soda once a week.
This is a very good idea. I’ve heard of water injection systems but this one actually injects HHO.
Looks pretty cool to me, has anyone tried it yet?
I met this guy at the Maker Faire show along with Phillip Torrone. This would be great for my SUV… :p
Check out the Water4Gas website if you wanna order one and save some gas and earth too.
Congratulations! You have just found a way to own a water-to-energy converter for your car. Water4Gas is one of the most PRACTICAL free-energy devices, marked by extraordinary simplicity and effectiveness. You cannot get anything, anywhere near this good, for even four to six times the price.
We offer devices that use a little electricity out of your car’s battery, to separate water into a gas called HHO (2 Hydrogen + 1 Oxygen). HHO, also called Brown’s Gas or Hydroxy, burns beautifully and provides TONS of energy.
