Most favorited last week. Project Funded! Thanks, Kickstarter backers! | Treefort Five. We did it! Treefort Five has officially been funded, and at 511%! It’s been a very busy few months getting this idea up and running and I’m so thankful for all the love and support! Backers, you really have made my daydreams a reality and I can’t wait to reward you for your support.
So, what are the next steps? “So you’re over 500% funded, where’s that all going?” All of that extra funding is going toward bulk ordering larger quantities of materials for boxes (I can now order a run of 100+ rather than just 50 at a time), while also funding upcoming boxes. And after all of that, a few things to keep in mind: “So how can I keep up-to-date with Treefort Five’s progress?” And that sums it up! Thank you all again from high up in Treefort Five! - Danielle Like this: Like Loading... Coffee Filter Roses. Back in my failed former days as a window dresser, I got some good advice from Tanja, the Grand Dame of the cosmetics department.
Originally from Romania, Tanja was widely renowned for her eyebrow waxing skills and had arrived at a point in her career when she only had to take one appointment a day, then happily dragged it out all afternoon. Most of the time was spent smoking and laughing and singing gypsy folk songs about beet salad, then more smoking and dispensing advice about important things like men, business, and unwanted hair.
Of the many things I learned from Tanja, there are three golden nuggets that stand out; Never brush your teeth with blue toothpaste.Men with excessively bushy eyebrows are likely to cheat on their wives.Women will buy anything wrapped in roses.* *Women married to men with excessively bushy eyebrows should expect a lot of roses. A week after Tanja dropped that old chestnut, my new boss gave me the task of revamping a central display table. SHAZAM!

Build a real working turbine from recycled CD's! This Tesla CD Turbine is based on the Tesla turbine, which was invented by Nikola Tesla in the early 1900's. Tesla's pumps and motors were unique in that they only used discs, and took advantage of the boundary layer effect. His smallest designs were over 100 horsepower. This Instructable is an introduction to my recently developed Tesla CD Turbine, which is made from CD's, CD spindle, pipe fittings and glue. This easy beginners version runs on garden hose pressure and is fun for demonstration or experimentation purposes.
This same CD Turbine can also be powerful, versatile, useful and dangerous when used with compressed air pressure. The basic model Tesla CD Turbine shows how the boundary layer idea works to deliver power. The advanced model has many cool features, such as the use of neodymium magnets to separate the CD's with the correct gap and a Magnetic Coupler to attach implements, and much more.
