Robot Suit Rock: How To Make Both Daft Punk Helmets | Fringe Focus. Digital Love Daft Punk. Air. Water. Those are my three most important things for survival, in order of importance. A number of pictures and articles can be found online about DIY Daft Punk suits, but the vast majority lack technical detail, or end up looking like a deformed baseball helmet. I made both Daft Punk helmets back in 2007, with no prior knowledge of the tools required. Tools Required Everything you can imagine. Seriously, I needed a lot of things. Time Required 3 weeks—3 months (It’s up to you) You could blast through this in a couple weeks if you don’t have a job or school. 1.

Before anything is built, you’ll need to know what you’re building. You’ll be building the following items: a wire cutter (unless you have one), a styrofoam helmet mold, a bondo helmet mold, a vacuum-form machine (unless you have one), and the final helmets. The first major piece will be the first mold. 2. The first mold will be made of Styrofoam, and you’ll need a hot wire cutter to shape it. 3. 4. Sand. Pepakura Designer.

Amazing low-tech harvester collects water from even the driest of air. Even in places where there’s a severe lack of water, there’s one thing every place has. Air. And even in the most arid of climes, there’s moisture in the air, even if it’s not enough to be felt on your skin. So there’s water everywhere, it’s just a matter of getting to it, and that’s what Edward Linnacre did with his brilliantly simple low tech air harvester called the Airdrop.

With a deceptively modest design, Airdrop filters hot environmental air through a turbine, feeding it through a copper tubing system—with copper wool to maximize surface area—and into the earth where it cools and releases moisture. The dry air is then re-released into the atmosphere and the collected water pumped through semi-porous hoses to the plant roots. In his initial prototype, which was much smaller than the current design, Linnacre was able to produce a liter of water per day. Okay, that’s just genius and badass. Via.
