To Make A Spacecraft That Folds And Unfolds, Try Origami
hide captionThe solar panels of the International Space Station (ISS) are just one example of the many kinds of fragile scientific instruments that require inventive packing and deployment tricks. The solar panels of the International Space Station (ISS) are just one example of the many kinds of fragile scientific instruments that require inventive packing and deployment tricks. Scientists and engineers at NASA are using origami techniques to help solve a fundamental dilemma facing spacecraft designers: How do you take a big object, pack it into a small container for rocket launch, and then unpack it again once it arrives in space — making sure nothing breaks in the process.

Man Crafts: zoetrope from coffee can
A zoetrope is a classic toy which, when spun, delivers the illusion of animation. The construction is simple and the results are always fun to watch. Zoetropes work by using a cylinder with vertical slits cut along the top edge and a band of sequential drawings/photographs placed inside the cylinder. When the cylinder is spun the viewer looks at the images inside the cylinder through the vertical slots, resulting in each image blurring together in rapid succession creating the illusion of motion.

3EB Custom Design « 3EyedBear
Last months seemed to have been very quiet? Au contraire, but a lot of stuff got prioritized over posting, that’s all. Headquarters moved to a new place on the other side of town (A place that got to be build first) and to another server in cyberspace. We still are looking in boxes for stuff we lost during the move a few weeks ago and get confronted with little bugs, but we feel confident to pick up things where we left them, to begin with some custom designs.

i have thought long and hard on whether or not to write this blog post. some sense of injustice made me do so. like anyone who has ever posted anything online (illustrations, texts and whatnot) of course i stumbled upon people copying (parts) of my work before. this is nothing new, sadly. what is new (for me at least) is the copying of an entire art project. its outline, concept and (why not) even some of its participants. Paper Totem! was launched in April 2009 and over the years has steadily grown sky-high thanks to 41 brilliant participating artists, making 100+ designs, downloaded 250,000 times. it has grown into a success thanks to the huge input and effort of all designers and collectors involved!
Cardboard Chassis for Cheap Robots 1: Boxbot
Previously I made an Instructable on cheap motors and wheels for robots, but wheels alone don't make a robot. If you want your robot to cruise in style, it's going to need a sturdy and stylish body. It's easy to make something rough but functional, but in my experience taking the time to make something look good usually makes it work better in the long run.

Minecraft Paper Machine
I guess Minecraft is popular. Over 14 billion copies have been sold, meaning that every single person on the earth bought the game twice, and those are statistics that are completely made up by me. Nevertheless, Minecraft seemed to be very well suitable for papercraft, and not only that, it is the most searched keyword in the combination with papercraft on the whole internet and it even makes the people craft their Steves in iPhone apps (That was kind of sad, because my 2 papercraft apps have been dislodged). First I was like meh, because the whole progress in papercraft history, the implementation of curves, the reduction of flaps, everything thrown away for pixely block heads, the absolute beginning of simplest paper works?
