Subject: [MakeLV] Question on power usage of multicore CPUs
Message-ID: <201204031230.06272.rhkramer@gmail.com>

I don't see much traffic on the old LVLUG lists, so I thought I'd try asking 
my question here, first.

A few months ago, I got a really good deal on a motherboard for an AMD AM-3 
socket CPU.  ($15 after rebate.)

I had intentions of watching for a low power CPU with maybe 2 cores come on 
sale.  So far, almost everything I've seen on sale is rated for 95 watts, 
which is more than I'd like to use.  (Btw, 95 watts is the maximum rating for 
the board.)

So, I got to thinking--I don't think most software takes full advantage of 
multicore CPUs, so I'm guessing that even if I bought something with 4 or 
more cores, most of the time I'd be using only 1 or 2.

Thus, if I bought a 4 core CPU rated at 95 watts, most of the time I'd be 
using significantly less than 95 watts.  

I realize there would be some logic that would be energized on those cores 
even if not used, as well as more "infrastructure" logic than if I had a one 
or two core CPU, but I'd still expect substantially less power usage.

Am I way off base?

Modern multi-core CPUs have the ability to disable unused cores (as
long as the OS supports it?), and also to overclock a core (or two?)
if it's the only one being used.

A quick google turned up this article, from about 2 years ago, that
seems like it has a good overview of the different tech behind Intel's
and AMD's versions of this concept:

Thanks!  Interesting article, the kind I'll have to read at least a second 
time to make more sense of it. 

At a first cut, it looks like Intel might do better at turning off cores to 
save power.  But, iiuc, they both increase the speed on the utilized cores 
when other cores are unused, thus boosting the power used.  
   
AMD seems to do that in groups of 3 (on a 6 CPU chip), Intel seems able to do 
it per CPU.  

It's not yet clear to me whether, well let's consider the AMD, and a load that 
is single threaded:  will that single threaded application cause 3 of the 
CPUs to run at the boosted speed and thus the chip continue to use almost the 
full rated power (for example, 125 watts if the multicore chip is rated at 
125 watts).

I suspect it might.

The Lehigh Valley's first ever Science Festival is coming soon!  The main
event is a Science Carnival on April 14th at the Agriplex on the Allentown
Fairgrounds.  Make LV will have a booth (Thanks, Matt!!!) and we will need
folks to volunteer for a shift, but the big thing we need to do now is to
publicize this event.  Please distribute the attached flier to folks you
know in the greater Lehigh Valley, coworkers, neighbors, whoever...

Thanks!

MakeLV @ the Science Festival is looking really good.

*If you would like to be involved, there are a few opportunities below.*

This will be a great chance to become visible in the community. This
Thursday (tomorrow) we will have a mock-up of the booth.

*What we have: *

   - booth space that can fit an 8' table. Dimensions are uncertain.
   - A blinky Hive4a sign (Thanks Jim!)
   - Plans to teach soldering (Using the MakerShed kit, Thank Jim & Tom!)
   - Passing out information on soldering
   - A few people to man the booth
   - Tables and power
   - Camera to show soldering in the background
   - Setup ED (http://projects.josiahritchie.com/projects/ed) for folks to
   play with.

Dave sent out the flyer or you can see it on the blog:
http://makelehighvalley.com/blog/2012/04/science-festival-of-the-lehigh-valley/
.

The Exhibitor Guide is also available:
http://www.davincisciencecenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Science-Festival-Lehigh-Valley-Carnival-Exhibitor-Guide.pdf.
This states that we have an 8-foot table, 2 chairs and a booth with three
sides. Matthew is getting two booths and this space he is sharing with us.
I have some fold-up tables that could be contributed to the purpose. We
should have electricity and Internet access (I believe we asked for that.)

*What we need **(if you can help with one of these, please let us know)**:*

   - More small demos to put around and show what's going on. (see Project
   Ideas below)
   - More people to hang around the table for an hour or longer between
   10am and 4pm.
   - A system to schedule people to get in on the soldering tutorial.
   - A method of taking payments for the soldering tutorial.
   - A card or something small with our website on it to give people who
   come by. (Dan's Camera?)
   - Equipment check - make sure we have everything to safely teach
   soldering classes.

*Project Ideas*
If you would like to create a simple interactive something, but don't have
any ideas, here are some I don't expect to have time to implement...

   - Fiber Optics: I have a sturdy fiber optic cable that visibly passes
   light, some strong colorful LEDs setup to shine color through or a small
   color screen that folks could hold one end of the fiber up to then see it
   come out the other would show off fiber tech.
   - Conductivity: A simple circuit to trigger a light with a variety of
   materials to test for conductivity. Will it light if I put a feather, a
   spoon, wood, rubber and other things in the circuit.
   - I have code for an Arduino and a number pad from an electronic
   battleship game that makes lots of tunes on a piezo. I don't have an
   Arduino that is free at the moment. I also don't have a sturdy enough case
   to put this on display.
   - Resistor Demo: A simple circuit that would enable people to swap out
   resistors in one place to see how it impacted the brightness of an LED
   - Lemon Battery
   - Home-made Electro magnet
   - Photoresistor: A simple circuit to light up an LED according to how
   much resistance a photoresistor provides - maybe one of the 555 circuits
   that we did earlier could be adapted to this to be even a bit more advanced.
   - Solar Power: Something based on solar power could hit a trending
   interest. This could be as easy as having one of the solar lights in the
   space torn apart and laid out with some labels to explain how it works.
   - Your Idea: If you have something that hits your fancy, I'm all for it.
   - Astronomy: (Chris Callie?)
   - Chemistry:

*People to Attend the Booth*
I'm shamelessly stealing this from Ellis' earlier email... The event is on
April 14th (10a-4p).

Please respond if you can commit to being there.  We will need 3+ people
there at a time so we can also rotate wandering around the event itself.
 If you wish to volunteer for a shift, please specify one of the following
(1/2 hour extra for setup and take down):
1/3 day Shift: 9:30-12, 12-2, 2-4:30
1/2 day Shift: 9:30-1, 1-4:30

This information will be kept up-to-date on the wiki:

Hey, I tried to get MakerBot to be a sponsor, but it kind of fell through.
However, I'd like to personally bring my MakerBot if you guys have room?
Perhaps I could show 3D scanning people using a Kinect (is it indoors?  I
know the kinect has trouble with sunlight).  See:

Tony, that'd be awesome! You are totally invited to be there and share 3D
scanning and printing. I was actually thinking about poking Dave to see if
he could bring his MakerBot out, but it sounds like we can skip that.

I'm sure 3D stuff would be a great hit and I'll be first in line to donate
my head for science! ... well, to get it scanned anyway... You can only
keep the copy.

I don't know about the indoor or outdoor component. The Agri-Plex has
options for both I think, but I'd expect indoors since we're requesting
power. I'll double check with Karen who is listed as the contact.

Also, AEDC is paying for two tables, adjacent to each other. I am thinking that we will not use TOO much space on our side, so there will be opportunities for Make LV to spread out.

I'm actually planning to bring my MakerBot and have it running a good chunk
of the day. It can go in the Make LV booth, or I can put it in Da Vinci's
booth, if we are running short of space.  I believe the booths are 10x10,
and I can bring a card table or two if we need more table space.

I have a couple of those sturdy plastic folding tables. Probably not good
for soldering, but otherwise real good for this sort of thing. I can
probably get an Astros van for transportation.

It may be good to have a couple around to give a bit more space for a crowd
to see.

i have spare arduino, a ton of blank business cards sheets, i can accept 
credit cards through tagdaplanet.com if that helps..., also i can 
arrange pretty large marble slabs, they're pretty awesome for soldiering 
or cutting stuff. only weigh like 30-40 pounds.  hey anyone remember 
those solar jars we never got around to finishing?? we could totally do 
that.  assuming ellis is still cool with donating them

Tony, the booth will be indoors in fluorescent light. If you want to know
more about the lighting, they said we could go take a look at it. They
could get us into the venue. I'd just need to know what to look for.

Jonas, could you put together a basic Hive 4A logo with the name Make
Lehigh Valley and our website on it to go on the cards and get a bunch
printed off? I'm not sure how many people to expect, but any overage would
be handy in other occasions.

I'll let Jim weigh in on the need for marble. If you could bring a piece
tonight, I'm sure he wouldn't mind seeing it. Also, if you could bring that
Arduino, I'll put that show tunes project back together using it.

Scott, could you help me with amplifying the tunes through a metal shelf
like you did last Saturday Hack? It outputs through a piezo so could we do
that pretty easily or do we need to rig up some amplification first? I
don't recall how that was working. I imagine propping up the shelf under
the table.

I have a square reader that I'm thinking would be ideal for taking credit
cards, but we don't have that plugged into a MakeLV account at the moment.
If we have a working computer, we can take them through our WePay account
directly to MakeLV, but I'm not sure how comfortable people will be with
entering their CC data onto a computer. I can even setup a store in WePay
that would have the pricing all set up and ready to go. What would it look
like if we used tagdaplanet.com for that?

If Ellis has a demo of those solar jars, that would be a great exhibit.
Maybe we can show it in various stages of assembly and methods of frosting?
It would be good to get a gauge of interest for the potential of MayFair.
(We're making contact on that now.)

Maybe we could use all those old CDs we have around as media to paint signs
on. It would be a novel and creative sort of way to accomplish signage for
some of the smaller exhibits. It would beat 3x5 cards anyway.

This made me think of Jim's arduino based swim timer project. The use case
is very different, but maybe worth looking at.

Subject: [MakeLV] Science Festival Booth Layout
Message-ID: <CANyh6VsHJMSzv9X6-7LzmaEWL8sCCo6kFrETRf5gPXsYcWwm1Q@mail.gmail.com>

We made some great progress on the booth layout. I put the plans into
SketchUp this morning. You can see a graphic or sketchup version of the
booth at the wiki page.
There are also a lot of additions to the plans which can also be seen on
the wiki page. Check it out for the latest.

http://makelehighvalley.com/wiki/ScienceFestival2012


Here is a summary of current needs as listed. If you know of more let me
know of add them to the wiki. If you can help in one of these areas,

   - People to fill out the
schedule<http://makelehighvalley.com/wiki/ScienceFestival2012#manbooth>
   - Exhibits
      - More small demos to put around and show what's going on. (see
      Project Ideas
below<http://makelehighvalley.com/wiki/ScienceFestival2012#projectideas>
      )
      - Need someone to implement the idea of a camera on the soldering in
      the back of the booth, including getting drivers for the camera
we have or
      a different camera.
      - Need someone to put together pictures/video for slideshow of
      hackerspace images (See Josiah & Matthew for pics and video)
   - Handouts
      - A design for businsess card handouts (Jonas will print, check with
      him for format)
      - Printing for the full-page handout (Josh is doing the design)
   - Activity: Soldering Plans
      - Equipment check - make sure we have everything to safely teach
      soldering classes.
      - A system to schedule people to get in on the soldering tutorial. (A
      spreadsheet with timeslots printed out and put on a clipboard, what time

I can commit to a 9-12 shift ... I can meet ya'll at the space and possibly
haul a few things in my car. I'm not to bright but I can lift moderately
heavy things :)

Great! I put you on the schedule. It'll be good to see you.

Fair warning, the whiteboard you put up is down right now, but only because
we're moving things to address power issues. There was no power on that
wall so we're putting up shelving and moving the various benches near to
where the power is. We'll put the whiteboard up closer to the
workbenches... once we get that configuration figured out. :-)

No worries .... It's all about improvements! I think I wanted to do some
improvements of my own on that anyway ... it needed a frame / border ....

Yep ... This last Thursday was another time when I was almost on the way to
the space ... but my daughters car had a "check engine light" issue and my
friend with the code scanner was going on vacation soooo Thursday night was
the only time he could fit me in.

Maybe when school ends for the summer ....

Cheers!

--> Rob

You can put Amy Buser down for 9:30-12 and me for all day, but I might want
to take off the afternoon shift to look around.

I added Amy. I don't see a problem in having you enjoy some time out among
the rest of the festival. I'll do that some also. With the schedule looking
like it is, I'll probably move towards doing it in the morning after things
get settled.

A Bethlehem company named EchoTech Marine is going to be stopping by the
space on Thursday to see what we're doing. It looks like they have some
neat innovative products and appear to be like-minded in terms of
innovation. Check them out on their website.

Jonas, what is the format of the business card stock you have?

Anyone willing to take a shot at a design for these cards? The only thing I
think really must be on it is the name and website link.

Here's my stab at it. I designed it with the vistaprint online
creator, then took a screenshot, and cropped to jpg. That being said,
they will print 1000 for ~$20. Or we can print a few ourselves.

Not without rush shipping, which adds more to the cost.
I'd just have someone print it on business card stock for Saturday,
and consider having some printed for future events.

I like it and I like the idea in the Picassa comments about using a variety
of different backgrounds for different kinds of making.  I would suggest a
textile, something with motors or gears,  maybe a  handmade paper or even a
blueprint or technical drawing.

Looks like the in-person stuff will be in Allentown actually so the
pilgrimage isn't too bad...

"Both courses will be held at IU 20 in Allentown"

I have a 3.0GHz P4, 320GB HD, 2GB ram, running XP with dual VGA and an S-video output, will bring Thursday for use with the 27" TV we have to try to develop a display item for the fair. Looking for project videos and pictures for display. I believe we can also use it for software demonstration if needed.

Will bring some of my irons to see which are suitable for the soldering class.

Parts have arrived for Bright Cane and CNC printed circuit board project, if all goes as planned I should have first prototypes of each for display.

The card seems fine for people who already know what make is.  

Maybe everyone who picks up a card will do it in a context (for example, at 
the booth) such that, if they didn't know what make was before they got to 
the booth, they will when by the time they pick up a card.

I can't help but think it would be a good thing to put (more of) a hint on the 
card as to the purpose of make.  Maybe that should be a slogan, and maybe 
make already has a slogan.  I'm thinking of things like this:

   * Want a new career?  Start at make!
   * Promote American ingenuity, join make
   * Promote Lehigh Valley industry, join make
   * (or whatever the intended purpose of make is...)

Randy,

Josh is working on the design for a handout that will on one side have info
on soldering to go with that project and on the other, will have something
like what you are describing.

You remind me that I need to check in with him on that. :)

Thanks,
JSR/

Perhaps you should define what a "Maker" [hacker] is:

Have you ever thought about improving how something works?

Have you every modified something, so it would do the job you want better?

Have you ever wondered how something works?

Have you ever repurposed something?

Would you rather reuse something in a new way, instead of  throwing it away?

If so, you are a [potential] maker.

Join us Thursday nights, to meet others that like to tinker.

I really like the idea of different backgrounds for different crafts.

2d Barcode anyone?

Is it possible to get double sided business cards?
When I make cards, I try to make one side contact/about/advertisement and
the other side a reference of sorts...
Color codes for resistors
Different screw/screw head types
Ruler
Sewing needle gauge
Portable sundial
First Aid!
Hazard Symbol
List of web links (suppliers, blogs, etc.)

MakeLV Wiki Files:

Facebook's quality can be rough so if you can get original stuff instead it
would be better.
MakeLV Photos on Facebook:

Hive 4A Photos on Facebook: (wouldn't hurt to have some of the co-working
stuff)
https://www.facebook.com/Hive4A/photos

Scott would be a good source for Pinhole photography photos. I think he had
some online somewhere, but I'm not sure where.

I actually sent Josh some qr codes. Holler if you want them, I have them
setup so I can track what activity they get. :-)

I have the following plastic tables from Sam's club:
4'x2' adjustable height
6'x2.5' @ 29" high

I'll bring the 4'x2' one on Saturday.  It couldn't hurt to bring a second
one though.  We could make it double wide or set it up in the back right
corner for an out of reach display.

I have a spare 18"(?) lcd screen I don't mind lugging in.  It could just be
used to display what someone is doing on a laptop.

Do we have a sign or something that says: "Sponsored and Made Possible By
the AEDC" or something?  I realize we will be sharing table space, but
still.  It would be good to show our thanks and good advertising.

I do have a light jar working.  I keep it on the table on my porch.
However, it doesn't look good when in the light and honestly it isn't
incredibly bright even at night.  While it can make the jar glow (I still
haven't found a good way to do the frosting so I have colored glass in the
jar), it isn't much good at providing light for walking except on very dark
nights.  BTW, the light jar materials in the space are for anyone to use.

I was thinking about the 3D printer(s) being more interactive... What if we
let them generate a 3d barcode image, convert the image into a simple 3d
shape (preferably in some automated way... is there a script or SketchUp
plugin to transform a B&W image into a raised object?), and then set the
printer to print (with assistance as needed of course).  Then they can
paint the raised portion with a black marker or paint and glue a backing
pin on the back if they want to wear it.

Josiah is fine, or flickerfly if you like that sort of thing.

Signing my emails with my initials is just an old habit. I keep it because
I figure it would be something for folks to look for if they think an email
from me is spoofed, which is so easy to do with email. If 'JSR/' isn't in
it, then it's probably not from me.

Here's my stab at it. I designed it with the vistaprint online
creator, then took a screenshot, and cropped to jpg. That being said,
they will print 1000 for ~$20. Or we can print a few ourselves.

I think AEDC would prefer that we highlight Hive 4A over AEDC. I think
expressing that appreciation is a good idea. :-)

Tony will be likely using most of the back corner for scanning. In fact, we
need to get an office chair for people to sit and spin in so he can scan
them. He said 8' will be plenty for his needs table space wise. I got the
impression that there may even be a little room to spread other things
into. (Tony, holler if I'm misrepresenting that.)

I haven't heard if Dave is planning on having his MakerBot in our booth or
elsewhere yet. He would probably be a good one to talk with concerning 3D
barcodes or maybe get the Hive 4A logo printed out a few times to show off.
I've seen that 2D to 3D sort of thing done with text, I don't know about
doing it easily with images. Perhaps nameplates could work. We'd want to
suggest a donation for the extruded plastic like we are the soldering to
recoup costs.

That reminds me, we need a donation jar or something like that which isn't
easy to reach into and take stuff out. Ellis, do you have any of that PVC
that we could make a tube out of into a funnel into a big jar? Might you
have an appropriate jar in your bottle collection that isn't worth an
significant money? Perhaps I'm showing my ignorance of the activity of
bottle collecting.

It looks like we have the morning pretty well covered, but we could use a
few more hands around the booth in the afternoon.

I've created a packing list here:

add, clarify and verify. If you don't have an account on the wiki, just ask

Matthew,
Would you rather us plug Hive4A or AEDC (or both) where possible?  I'm
guessing you have some signs/posters, correct?

Josiah,
By the "back corner" I assume you are talking about the back right behind
the tables?

Tony,
Would there actually be enough room since it is only 4' wide?  Does the
scanning need a flat and/or static and/or special colored background or
just a background that is far enough away?  I was thinking that we could
have the person spin in a chair out front... make other people see them.  I
doubt we'd have trouble asking people to step back for a minute.  Plus
it'll draw attention.

Really? A Donation for the extruded plastic?  Don't we want to tout how
cheap the material is?  I'm all for asking for a donation, but not for the
plastic. :) We could do nameplates... I just thought the 2d barcode would
be geekier techy.  I imagine something like what I attached (Though I
imagined it less complex for so little text).

Actually Chris collects the bottles.  However, I'm sure he wouldn't have
anything since he had to discard a lot of his collection a couple years ago
and only keep the better stuff and none of what he has is very big (and
most is pre-1900).  We picked up a few more junk bottles, but they are
small or quite broken.  There's a bottle show on Sunday...

What about cutting a slit in the top of a monitor?  Maybe one of those
iMacs?  Or in the top of a computer tower?  It could even be a working
computer. (Though preferably one that has airflow to keep it cool sectioned
off... don't want the donations to literally go up in smoke!)

-Ellis

Matthew,

Would 8:30 be too early? or would 9:00 be better for you?
I'm thinking we need to leave the space by 9:15 at the latest latest (or at
least the last of us).

Also, if you aren't going to be there most of the day, will there be
another representative for Hive4A or AEDC there?

Ellis-
I can be there at 8:30, that's not a problem.

I will be at the booth on and off through the day. I live only 5 blocks away from the Fairgrounds, so I can run back and forth pretty easily.

We generally want to promote the Hive, but when it comes to things that we are doing, such as partnering with Make LV, we prefer that AEDC gets the mention. Hive 4A is one of our initiatives, but it is not a separate "corporate" entity.

Sorry, I talked with him behind the scenes on this. Ideal is a 2m square
which the area out front is, but I was thinking if the place gets
absolutely packed, we can revert to the other area which he said is cool if
the chair spins rather than the person.

I don't want to presume on other people's materials. If we're going to hand
stuff out, we just need to be sure whomever's plastic is being used is
comfortable with the arrangement.

Actually Chris collects the bottles.  However, I'm sure he wouldn't have

I like where this is going, maybe even gut out one of those printers or a

*Huh, I had it in my head that it started at 9:30 (it starts at 10).
Still, I'm sure we'll have plenty of things to move and setup not to
mention find parking and our booth.*

For those meeting us at the space in the morning, try to make it there as
close as you can to 8:30.  We'll try to leave there by 9:15ish (9:30 at the
latest for the last of us).

For those helping to setup headed straight to the Science Festival, try to
be there at 9:30 to help setup as needed.

Here is my cell number just in case.
(631) 463-5568

Thank you,
Ellis

Yeah, if there's an office chair for people to sit and spin in when
scanned, I'd only need a little more than 1 meter squared, so 4' "should"
be good.

As far as the table, I probably wouldn't take up the whole 8'.  Printer and
laptop only needs about 3-4' and I'll set a few prints out for people to
see.

If I could get like the hive4a logo in vector format (is there a MakeLV
logo?) I could probably whip something simple up to 3D print and hand out.
I don't mind printing little things and giving them out for free.  Would
probably only be like 20 cents worth of plastic.  :)

btw, although I've 3d printed qrcodes like this, it's very hard to get
right and doesn't look too good.  Letters that just say MakeLV, maybe with
a hoop for a keychain, would probably be better.

Do we have a spinning office chair w/ back removed in the space?

I'm pretty sure there does not currently exist a MakeLV logo.  Rather just

If we go with a keychain, is the plastic durable enough to not break off
the corner too easily?  I could pick up some key rings at Michaels.

By the way, since we'll be going straight to the faire, is there anything I

Enter through gate 3 off of Chew St. Park wherever you can. Ag Hall/Agriplex is west of the Farmers Market and it should be obvious where the Festival is.

I'll be helping set up after 8 AM. 610-533-6677 is my cell if you need anything.

We had some great exposure to the community and even more excellent,
we were able to show tons of kids the potential of 3D
printing/scanning, soldering and Arduinos to make their ideas come
alive. We had just over 40 kits to teach soldering on and we gave out
the last one just at the end of the day. Thank you to Jim for spending
his entire day behind the soldering iron inspiring kids. He didn't
even get to eat lunch until after 4pm. Thank you to Rob and Tom who
both spent about a 1/2 day showing soldering. It was great to see kids
proudly walking around with blinking robots pinned to their shirts.
Mark told me he took a video of a kid desoldering. Upon completing the
kid clapped with excitement!

Thank you Jonas and Mark for donating an Arduino to the display of
arduino-based projects. It was great to see the kids interacting with
the display, pushing buttons listening to rudimentary explanation of
how they were programmed and some people even asking where they could
get an Arduino of their own. Thank you Mark and Amy for photography
throughout the day and jumping in to help out some adults hanging
around the booth to engage.

Thanks to Tom and Josh for getting the slideshow running. That turned
out to be a bit more of a challenge than we expected, especially with
me "loosing" the microUSB cable in my back pocket making picture
transfer impossible for awhile. Thank you Josh for taking on getting
our Internet access working. That also turned out to be harder than
expected, but we were able to get it where we needed it. Also Josh is
the man behind the design of our handouts which went so well, thank
you.

Thank you Ellis, Rob and Matthew for providing transportation of
materials from the hackerspace to the event and back. Thank you to
Ellis and Tom for showing the kids the Arduino projects. I had a
friend who stopped by while I was away from the booth and commented
today at church about some of what was shown to their child. They were
impressed.

Thank you to Tony, Amy and Dave for keeping those 3D printers churning
out cool things all day, engaging folks so well. I didn't get to see
much of what was going on over there, but I did see folks showing off
their Hive 4A keychains when I was looking around with my family. The
story of that kid who watched the printer for 25 minutes as the Tardis
printed was great. I can imagine how thrilled he was when Tony gave
him the Tardis.

My wife pointed out the cultural diversity of the event. We haven't
seen that since we moved up here from the DC area. It was great to see
all sorts of people from various parts of our culture coming out to
the Festival. Engaging the kids in the city is something Dave has
expressed as an objective before and is also something I'd like to see
happen. I think we saw some of that yesterday.

In short, great job everyone. This is definitely going down as a Make
LV success!

I want to add my thanks, too, both personally and on behalf of the Da Vinci
Science Center and our partners in running the Science Festival.  Karen
told me that what she heard as she walked around made it clear that we were
a highlight of the Carnival and she was thrilled that we were there.

The preliminary attendance count was 2206 public visitors plus about 200
vendors.

Don't miss the video of what it takes to go from 3D scan to 3D print:
https://vimeo.com/38764290. I didn't realize how much time and
software was involved in smoothing, correcting geometry and all that.

Josh will appreciate the Blender cameo.

Subject: [MakeLV] 10 rocket rail gun launcher
Message-ID: <CANyh6Vs07MGdQWvhui0fVPZ==OY81VAkx9deaG7_MvNz+avq_Q@mail.gmail.com>

So, we talked a bit about rail guns last night and then I find this from
Make Magazine in my inbox:
http://makeprojects.com/Project/10-Rail-Model-Rocket-Mega-Launcher/243/1

This naturally leads to could we build something like that to launch
rockets by railgun instead of igniters. This would, of course, then reduce
the need to keep buying those little hobby rocket motors making it more
accessible to have kids participate over and over again despite economic
means. We basically could get rid of the consumables. Plus, the awesome
factor of rail guns comes into play, but this includes kids getting to not
only watch, but participate by building a rail gun rocket and see their
creation fly.

So, what are the problems that must be overcome?

RAPID acceleration.  We could of course build up the mass of the rockets so
they don't launch as fast, but that adds weight... plus...

A model rocket engine has a lower acceleration and over a MUCH longer time
providing continuous thrust until it burns out.

All the energy for rail gun launched rockets are given right at the start.

Still, I say it is worth a try.

Maybe a multi-launcher for the compressed air rockets from Make issue 15.
Same instant acceleration, though less zappy and cool. Though awesome in
its own right.

Use a compressor to charge maybe 4 smaller pressure tanks which would all
launch simultaneous or have arduino stagger the launches (easier to track
when a second apart). The rockets could then be crafted with each kid
giving it their own art and character with a very cheap amount of
consumables.

A comment on the project page http://makezine.com/15/airrocket/ mentioned
using a manual valve even to go cheaper than the sprinkler valve.

I remember a 'toy' in the physics dept of my high school - 

It was an iron rod in a upside down "U" shape, with a pair of coils
 [one at each end] and a section of copper tubing on the iron rod.
when you tripped one of a pair of circuit beakers connected to 
110VAC and each coil, the copper tubing flew to the other side 
due to magnetic repulsion of the copper tubing [a shorted turn].

A straight iron rod, with a coil at the base, a big cap /connection 
110VAC, etc, and a small section of copper tubing on the side of
a model rocket [or a pair of rods, and two sections of tubing on
each side of the model rocket].

Actually, rail guns typically have consumables.  And large capacitors and power supplies.

  So, we talked a bit about rail guns last night and then I find this from Make Magazine in my inbox: http://makeprojects.com/Project/10-Rail-Model-Rocket-Mega-Launcher/243/1

  This naturally leads to could we build something like that to launch rockets by railgun instead of igniters. This would, of course, then reduce the need to keep buying those little hobby rocket motors making it more accessible to have kids participate over and over again despite economic means. We basically could get rid of the consumables. Plus, the awesome factor of rail guns comes into play, but this includes kids getting to not only watch, but participate by building a rail gun rocket and see their creation fly.

  So, what are the problems that must be overcome?

Yeah , but the ink transfer problem is fraught with error. To be able to
print directly on the copper saves messed up transfers and should make it
easier as a result.

Some of the things may be human factors;
   The desire to play with fire isn't fully satisfied.
   The device is more complex and harder to understand.

Perhaps it may be better to let the device be a gun that can shoot 
small pellets through a paper or cardboard target.  Then, that may 
satisfy the same part of the brain that wants to "play with fire."

On the plus side of the rocket rail gun;
   It has a greater scientific feel to it.
   It will feel like something an older person will want to do.  Note 
that this is an appeal to younger ones... they want to do older stuff.

I will also second the idea of using pneumatic bottle rockets. They 
are a safe and fun rocket alternative without consumables.  There is 
a lot of educational content written up about them. A variation on 
the idea involves small paper rockets that are built around a straw. 
The launcher is what provides the thrust, similar to the "stomp 
rocket" toy.  But, this may not have as much physics content to 
learn, since it is harder to calculate and predict the behavior.

A bit more pneumatic bottle rambling; I have had in my head for a 
long time a desire to try to create a pneumatic bottle rocket that 
leaves a "smoke" trail.  The idea would be to somehow generate foam 
or bubbles as the rocket ascends.  There is already compressed air 
and water available in the ship, though it normally is expelled right 
away.  Perhaps a separate foam generating element could be created.

I have also thought about how one might create a multi-stage 
rocket.  If there were a lever that would actuate as the pressure 
dropped in a prior stage, that could launch the next stage.

But, none of my pneumatic rocket ideas have been fleshed out.

While the Epson conversion sounds very interesting, and may be useful 
for other things, such as printing posters on matt board, the ability 
to get a small custom PCB has really dropped over recent years.

Here is a site that will do one-off's at a good price.  They batch 
process, so you typically have to wait a bit longer.

"We accept 2 and 4 layer designs with unlimited vias, pads and 
components. Minimum size is 0.5x0.5 inches and Maximum is 10x15 
inches. Our prices are $2.50/sq. inch for 2 layer boards and 
$8.00/sq. inch for 4 layer boards. "

Just to reinforce some of Josiah's points ....

The soldering activity was great ...the kids loved it! Actually anything
where kids are working an activity where they can make something and take
it home is great. A craft ... a birdhouse .... but it has to be unique ...
I happened to notice another table that had build your own marshmallow
shooters ... that has been a Makerfaire staple in the past .. glad we
didn't do it :)

I liked the open feel of the opposing booths .... it created "our space"
also I was glad to see there were more of us on the front side of the table
interacting with folks rather than taking across the table at them.

I didn't see anything on the Lehigh Valley Convention & Visitors' Bureau calendar for the area. I think most organizations will have a Memorial Day hangover and are leaving the weekend open. Sounds like a perfect opportunity for us!

I am going to plan on having the space open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. I'd like to propose the following schedule of courses:

Start Time			End Time		Course 1		Course 2
10:30 a.m.			11:30 a.m.		A				B
11:45 a.m.			12:45 p.m.		C				D
1:30 p.m.			2:30 p.m.		A				D
2:45 p.m.			3:45 p.m.		C				E

It's up to us to determine the courses, but I would suggest that A & C be Intro to circuits I & II. The D course should probably be the partnership with indiemade craft market/Lehigh Valley Handmade Alliance (if they are able to find a craft person interested in doing a one-hour instruction course). Bunching the D course up will allow a non-member to get in and out relatively quickly and not spend the whole day in the space. The B & E course could be a more advanced course, or more specialized interest course.

Thoughts?

I finally got around to processing these other scans from the science fair.

Here's Nick: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:22275
Josiah: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:22277
And the Cat: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:22276

I still want to come over some Thursday with my laser scanner and see if I
can get a better scan of that cat.  :)

Thanks Tony!

Looking good Nick :-)

I'll look forward to seeing the laser scanner results on the cat.

Looks like I'll be available also. This looks like some fun and that
schedule does make sense.

What is the concept?
