HOW TO

SUPPORT US?

Infinity Clock (Max)

The clock uses a GPS receiver to provide accurate

time with a display based on edge-lit layered panels.

The effect of the display is similar to an infinity

mirror until one realises the colours at each level

are different. The project is a combination of hi-tech

(Arduino Mega 2560 with a custom PCB for the audio

and GPS) as well as lo-tech (handmade wood case

with stained glass panels and 3D printed parts).

Fire Tornado (Multiple Members)

The fire tornado is often the main attraction at our

anniversary parties. The elaborate setup of box fans

aimed at a bowl in the centre of the circle create a

tall, beautiful, flaming vortex. It has been featured on

the Science Channel and in other publications.

Plasma Speaker (Corey, Bowie, and Roger)

The plasma speaker is a device that uses electrical

arcs to produce sound by heating the air. It follows us

to many events and draws quite a bit of attention. The

design of the plasma speaker has been continuously

improved since it was introduced to the space in 2013.
