revolights. join the revolution. by Kent, Adam & Jim

We hope you are as excited about revolutionizing the bike light industry as we are. With your help, we will morph the Revolights bike lighting system into an innovative solution used worldwide. We recognize these lights are different, but we're from the Bay Area where different is, well, sometimes better. People aren't used to wheel mounted lights, but simply put, we intend to change that. FORM 1 3D Printer. Are you frustrated that low-end 3D printers don’t have the quality to make the true beauty of your designs real?

FORM 1 3D Printer

Do you dream of having the power and resolution of a truly professional machine on your desktop? We’ve created an easy-to-use system that rivals the output of high-end printers at a fraction of the cost. Our reason for starting this project is simple: there are no low-cost 3D printers that meet the quality standards of the professional designer. As researchers at the MIT Media Lab, we were lucky to experience the best and most expensive fabrication equipment in the world. But, we became frustrated by the fact that all the professional-quality 3D printers were ridiculously expensive (read: tens of thousands of dollars) and were so complex to use.

We’ve been hard at work for over a year, and with your help, we’re ready to take the Form 1 into full-fledged production. We’ve gone to extraordinary lengths to design a complete 3D printing experience: They look like this: Spiffy, eh? Lumio: A Modern Lamp With Infinite Possibilities by Max Gunawan.

Some kids called them cootie-catchers, but I never really understood the method behind the madness with that one. But I digress, because paper folding prowess was not in vain. Top 10 Repair Projects You Should Never Pay For. Keep headphone wires from getting tangled. DIY Solar USB Charger - Altoids.

If we use two rechargeable AAs that put out a total of 2.4Vs we're going to need a solar panel that is at least 3 - 4Vs just to meet basic levels of charging.

DIY Solar USB Charger - Altoids

The higher the voltage of our solar cell (or cells) the less light we need to charge up our batteries. Now we're also trying to fit this into an Altoids Tin, so we're limited in space. I have found some great 4V solar cells that perfectly fit into Altoids Tins. They're the same ones I use with my Solar AA Altoids Charger. Sure, a bigger and better solar cell would give us added power, but it wouldn't fit into our tin. WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM, cheap and effective. SO YOU HAVE an emergency supply of water, but you're not sure how pure it is.

WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM, cheap and effective

Here is an excellent, cheap setup you can easily DIY for purifying LOTS of water. It's based on the Berkey ceramic water element filtration system that's been around for a long time. LOOK ON AMAZON FOR "DOULTON" FILTERS. The ceramic material will filter down to .5 micron (that's 1/2 of a millionth of an inch) and according to the manufacturer will eliminate bacteria like E. coli and salmonella, and parasites like Crytposporidium and Giardia, microscopic impurities that will cause serious health problems and even death. A colleague of mine who has a great deal of knowledge in the area of food safety has studied this setup carefully and I have built a system per his recommendations. 24 Household Items You Won't Believe You Don't Own Yet.
