“The Open Source Ecology Steam Engine Project” by Mark Norton — #ohsummit « adafruit industries blog
The final video I captured at the Open Hardware Summit was this interesting talk by Mark Norton. Mark is heading up the steam engine project of the Global Village Construction Set . Open-sourcing purely mechanical projects like engines is something which I’ve been thinking about a lot lately, so this talk was really exciting to me. The idea, in the context of the GVCS, is to use this steam engine as a prime mover for a number of other tools, including electrical generators and pumps. Because of it’s simplicity, and the fact that it can be powered by pretty much anything that makes enough heat to boil water, it’s a very useful and versatile source of power. It’s also designed to be scalable: multiple single-cylinder engines can be mated via a common crankshaft to increase power output, so as to adapt to varying requirements.
When Edward Ford told us about his plan to launch a Kickstarter project for his self-built CNC machine — made with SparkFun electronics and laser cut with his Personal Factory — we jumped at the chance to support his project. The ShapeOko is a complete, desktop CNC machine that anyone can build for about $300. And its all open-source!

CubeSpawn – An open source, Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) » JustinLee.sg
CubeSpawn is an open source hardware project. Its intended purpose is to “open source” a design for a flexible manufacturing system and design its components in such a way as to make the system capable of making most of its own parts. Frames, made from popular and widely available aluminum extrusion, are used to house machines that perform one step of a manufacturing process. With a bootstrapping (self starting) path to automated production built from open source designs, digital fabrication, and low cost fab-lab style manufacturing, individuals and small organizations can take advantage of contributed designs to rapidly provide commercial grade capabilities at DIY costs. Designs for laser cutting, coordinate measuring machines, mills, routers and other fabrication equipment are already available open source, a framework to add interchangeability, automation and compatibility should simply accelerate the process of integrating these designs.
FabFi - FabLab Global
What's a FabFi? FabFi is an open-source, FabLab-grown system using common building materials and off-the-shelf electronics to transmit wireless ethernet signals across distances of up to several miles. With Fabfi, communities can build their own wireless networks to gain high-speed internet connectivity---thus enabling them to access online educational, medical, and other resources. Fabfi has been featured in numerous print and online media articles, including the New York Times, and major tech blogs such as Gizmodo.com, BoingBoing.net, and NOS news in the Netherlands.
An Electron Beam 3D Metal and Home Solar cell Printer, including microscope vision system (SEM) & Z axis metal correction in a vacuum.(Design stage). Cost for parts which it cannot itself print plus the raw material for printable parts is less than the cost of a used car (self replication plus self build kit may reduce the price by approximately 100 times i.e. from the existing price of a metal 3D printer or solar cell plant; 1,000,000 euro price tag, to 10,000 euro self print/kit price. historicallythe plastic printer went from 30,000 euro commercial price to 500 euro in 2009 via this approach) The build-rate can be slow i.e. 0.2 kg per hour. Max height should be 2.4m so it can fit in a home. ( first / simpler to construct prototype will be taller than this until we know how much we can bend beam while maintaining spot size, the bigger the bend the shorter it will become)

David A. Mellis: Fab Speakers
These portable speakers are made from laser-cut wood, fabric, veneer, and electronics. They are powered by three AAA batteries and compatible with any standard audio jack (e.g. on an iPhone, iPod, or laptop). The speakers are an experiment in open-source hardware applied to consumer electronics. By making their original design files freely available online, in a way that's easy for others to modify, I hope to encourage people to make and modify them. In particular, I'd love to see changes or additions that I didn't think about and to have those changes shared publicly for others to use or continue to modify. The speakers have been designed to be relatively simple and cheap in the hopes of facilitating their production by others.
Uzebox - The ATMega Game Console
About The Uzebox is a retro-minimalist 8-bit open source game console. It is based on an AVR 8-bit general purpose microcontroller made by Atmel.Main Page - Openmoko
Openmoko™ is a project dedicated to delivering mobile phones with an open source software stack. Openmoko was earlier more directly associated with Openmoko Inc, but is nowadays a gathering of people with the shared goal of "Free The Phone". Distributors are currently selling updated versions of the Openmoko Inc's phone released in 2008, Neo FreeRunner , to advanced users, while the software stack for FreeRunner and future free phones is being developed by the community. Information about a modern 3.5G / OMAP3 upgrade to FreeRunner and an upgraded OpenPhoenux aka GTA04 Complete are here . Openmoko is a project driven by a community of passionate and intelligent volunteers.The Open Graphics Project (OGP) is developing graphics cards with Free-licensed specifications and Free Software drivers. We believe you have the right to own your computer and get the graphics you deserve. You paid for it.
