The Spirit of All Things decided that humans needed something to keep them going every day and decided that the pig was the best thing for it. And, oh, we have rejoiced and created several odes to the delicious meat. It's absolutely amazing and we should all say a little "thank you" every day because it exists. Or so everyone kept telling me. Others would find salvation in what I found to be a salty, crunchy piece of noise in my food. Then it all changed. Here is that recipe. Dracula Clothing.

I will not be providing my pattern in 1:1 scale at all (There will be pictures of parts of it), but I will tell you how I made it so you can make your own.

Before you start, find a glove! One that fits well (all the way down to the webbing). If you intend to make Vincent's claw like I did, or any sort of forearm protection, you may want the glove to continue past your wrist a couple of inches. Ok, for this you will need the paper materials and the metal materials Paper: - Some Rockin' Tunes (I like Metal or Techno for this) - Poster Board - Sharpie - Straight Edge (A ruler works) - Scissors - Tape - Razor Knife (optional, I only used it when I lost the scissors to be honest) - Flat Thumbtacks OR Paper Fasteners (Not Pushpins!) - Patience and lots of it - The glove (I forgot at this point so mine fits my hand well without a glove, I need to tinker now!

Micro-hydro power bucket - Vancouver Hack Space. Hello Hackers! For a long time I have been fascinated by the thoughts of free and renewable energy. My inspiration to build this device came from a cabin in the woods which was surrounded by tall trees which blocked out the sun and the wind. This left me unable to put up solar panels or a wind generator. There is however a small creek which runs on the property. My online research led me to some work in Guatemala by Sam Redfield. Sam built a very similar device for a small community which was isolated from power. The power generator in the system is a Permanent Magnet Alternator (PMA) with a pelton wheel directly attached to the shaft.

The bucket and lid components were initially assembled at the Vancouver Hackspace. Parts List: approximate total cost: $750 Power output measurements: valve 1/2 open: 25.6V valve fully open: 56V The power bucket uses approximately 1.7 liters per second of water at full power.
