A
C
Yeah,
as
far
as
where
we
are
you've
seen
that
yeah
I've
seen
the
the
TED
talk
kind
of
what
we
do,
but
right
now
we're
trying
to
do
is
crack
the
the
continuity
of
open-source
project
development,
product
development,
which
we
nailed
like
we
can
build
things
fast.
We
can
build
a
tractor
in
a
day.
We
can
build
a
house
like
in
this
house
that
I'm
in
right
now
CD
go
home.
We
built
that
in
five
days
with
50
people,
modular
design,
open
source,
so
modularity
is
the
key
to
that.
C
We're
trying
to
figure
that
out
for
development
and
this
initiative
on
the
steam
camps
is
to
build.
The
team
also
create
a
funding
mechanism
where
we
bring
a
bunch
of
good
players
together
to
provide
the
best
curriculum
and
we
can
get
paid
for
that,
and
it
only
takes
so
much
of
our
time.
We're
not
still
if
it's
nine
days,
that's
still
a
bit
of
time,
but
during
each
of
the
events,
we're
actually
developing
real
products.
I
mean
it
sounds
like
simple
curriculum.
C
B
E
B
Well,
I
actually
had
to
make
it
flow
sort,
because
my
main
competitor
is
harassing
me.
So
I
don't
have
money
for
a
lawyer.
It
seemed
easier
for
the
time
being
to
make
a
closed
source,
get
the
pressure
up
a
little
bit
yeah,
but
it
was.
It
was
until
a
little
while
ago,
open
source,
but
I
did
that
plan
that
Diana
did
intend
to
keep
it
open
source.
B
A
C
C
C
C
C
D
B
A
C
E
F
C
C
Onto
that,
to
make
a
simple
mill
and,
of
course,
the
first
iteration
of
the
electric
motor
it
might
be
crappy,
but
every
time
we're
going
to
run
these
events,
we're
going
to
improve
things
and
get
you
know
constantly
recruit
people
by
the
way.
Do
you
have
any
experience
with
making
any
electric
motors
or
anything
because
we're
looking
at
this
axial
flux,
electric
motor,
making.
H
H
C
The
kind
of
a
simple
motor
that
you
can
make
yourself
right
now
that
actually
lends
itself
pretty
decently
well
to
3d
printing.
If
you
take
a
look
at
that
click
on
that
link
and
go
to
the
bottom
like
he
actually
shows
this
thing
actually
working.
Look
at
the
video
at
the
very
bottom
I
mean
this
thing
is
500
watts
fast
and
furious.
So,
but
you
can
3d
print
a
lot
of
this
stuff,
and
if
you
do
that
do
this
ride,
you
can
have
a
pretty
highly
efficient,
brushless
motor.
That's
a
brushless
motor
there.
C
B
I'm,
assuming
that's-
that's,
copper,
coils.
It's.
C
Neodymium
magnets
and
copper
coils
and
a
pancake
orientation,
so
super
simple,
the
controller
there's
a
couple
of
MOSFETs
or
igbts,
and
it's
got
a
little
sensor
to
detect
the
location
of
the
rotor,
so
it
triggers
that
with
an
Arduino
I
can
control
the
speed.
Once
again,
this
is
the
territory
of
simple
Arduino
speed
controller.
In
that
example,
there
he's
got
a
yeah
he's
got
a
little
knob
where
he's
he's
not
even
using
an
Arduino
he's
using
something
else.
C
C
E
F
J
C
G
Well,
they
thought
that
I
was
ripping
theirs
off
and
they
were
threatening
patent
lawsuits
and
all
kinds
of
other
stuff.
The
other
reality
was
I
completely
designed
my
everything
that
you
see
on
that
website
from
scratch
and
and
from
open
source
technology
and
I
intended
to
keep
it
that
way,
but
no
business
well
well,
if
you've
got
any
kind
of
issues.
D
C
G
E
G
How
so,
if
it's
closed,
then
it's
kind
of
up
in
the
air
and
they
don't
know
anything
you
know
about
it,
one
way
or
another.
If
it
opened,
then
the
other
company
had
that
much
more
of
a
reason
to
come
after
me
to
keep
people
from
basically
getting
something
that
does
exactly
what
they
sell
for
free.
Oh.
I
G
E
H
I
G
G
Well,
because
of
the
way
that
I
created
it
was
was
from
people
publishing
the
ways
that
they
were
doing
it.
My
original
reason
for
being
was
trying
to
have
a
hydroponic
like
garden
and
I
realized
that
you
need
all
these
ways
to
measure
things
in
the
water
which
are
not
cheap
or
necessarily
simple
or
easy.
I
was
able
to
make
these
things,
and
then
it
turned
out
that
there
was
a
decent
market
for
it,
so
I
started
manufacturing
and
selling
them
yeah.
C
G
I
Did
did
you,
did
they
allude
to
anything
that.
G
G
All
of
them
they
do
yeah,
they
have,
they
hold
two
patents.
They
hold
a
patent
to
read
the
the
pH
probe,
basically
and
a
patent
to
read
the
the
conductivity
probe,
so
I've
done
a
little
bit
of
research
and
patents.
Since
all
of
this
is
started,
and
apparently
this
is
a
pretty
common
to
change
one
little
thing
and
it's
different.
So
it's
patentable,
even
though
the
change
is
minimal,
pointless
and
obvious,
it
shouldn't
really
be
patentable.
At
this
point,
I
mean
almost
every
aspect
of
it
is
public
and
an
open
source.
Yeah.
E
G
G
H
C
Yeah
yeah,
no
that's
interesting,
and
after
looking
at
the
patents,
you
saw
it's
like
dough.
That's
obvious!
Is
that
what
you
thought
or
yeah.
H
G
There's
no
conductivity
one
I'll
agree
that
they
have
come
up
with
a
way
to
measure
it,
but
I
mean
I.
Couldn't
tell
you
a
dozen
ways
off
the
top
of
my
head
right
now
of
ways
to
measure
it.
There's
pros
and
cons
to
all
of
them,
and
all
of
them
are
obvious
to
anybody
with
a
you
know,
a
medium
amount
of
electrical
knowledge.
There's
only
so
many
ways
you
can
do
it,
so
they
pick
that
one
way
and
develop
the
products
on
it.
H
G
C
Yeah
no
I
mean
this
sounds
like
clearly,
you
wouldn't
you
wouldn't
lose
and
I
don't
know
if
you've
thought
about,
but
definitely
like
they'll
be
like.
If
it
ever
comes
up
to
it.
I
mean
definitely
contact.
Ashwin
I
mean
they
have
lawyers
on
their
board.
They
can
probably
help
you
for
free
or
something
like
that.
C
G
C
C
C
C
Which
part
of
them
were
there
so
I'm
hearing
that
this
could
be
a
way
to
to
make
a
living
and
open
source?
Is
the
open
source
part
like?
Is
that
attractive
to
you
like,
as
far
as
our
vision
of
technology
that
matters
or
how
do
you?
What
all
is
interesting
to
you
and
the
osc
open
source,
ecology,
package,
I.
G
J
H
C
I
mean
that's
what
we're
doing
that's
theirs
and
once
again,
like
I'm
trying
to
start
a
business
like
basically
since
about
two
years,
have
been
full
time
on
the
enterprise
aspect
of
it,
because
for
the
last
decade
it
was
essentially
all
prototyping,
but
I
recognize
that
you
know
it's
kind
of
funny
and
I
know
what
your
feedback
on
this
is.
But
it's
like
we've
got
products
that
people
could
take
and
run
with
in
terms
of
enterprise,
but
nobody
has
and
I
still
don't
really
understand.
Why
I
mean
it's
like
out
of
this
whole
world.
C
Nobody
sees
the
potential
in
it
enough
or
there's
not
enough
entrepreneurs
to
to
actually
run
with
it
and
I
do
see
that
the
all
the
entrepreneurs
they
kind
of
go
to
more
flashy
things
than
this
kind
of
stuff
and
I
actually
find
that
to
me,
the
biggest
block
is
those
entrepreneurs
that
could
make
it
happen.
They're
like
they're,
pretty
much
scared
because
they
don't
believe
in
open-source.
So
there's
a
there's,
a
huge
cultural
barrier,
they're
like
really
no
entrepreneur
has
touched
this
thing
you
know,
and
it's
like
dude.
This
is
trillions
of
dollars
of
economics.
C
G
Maybe
if
we
were
talking
about
a
tractor,
they'll
choose
a
John,
Deere
tractor
or
whatever,
because
that's
what
they
know
and
because
their
business
plan
they're
their
banks,
aren't
going
to
a
bankful
kind
of
a
DIY
tractor.
If
it's,
if
it's
fundamental
to
the
business
they're
gonna
go
with
something
that
has
some
proving
the
values
and
tracks
record,
it's
the
same
thing
in
money
in
my
industry
as
well.
Is
people
are
going
to
go
with
the
bigger
names,
even
though
they're
not
the
better
value,
because
they
don't
want
to
gamble?
G
C
And
I
hear,
and
at
the
surprising
thing
for
me,
there's
a
thing
such
as
an
entrepreneur
that
still
exists
in
America
and
those
people
don't
care
about
these
things,
but
still
not
not
a
single
soul
has
kind
of
been
attracted
to
it
and
I
would
say
it's
primarily
because
they're
like
okay.
Now,
if
I'm
gonna
go
into
business,
they
just
don't
see
that
case
for
an
open-source
business,
so
that
part
I
think
probably
pushes
them
away
because
they
just
don't
get
it.
You
know
so,
but.
C
Gonna
change:
all
of
this
I
mean
you've
got
some
by
the
way.
Next
year,
we're
planning
on
on
$250,000
incentive
challenge
to
produce
the
world's
first
open-source
3d
printed,
cordless
drill
professional
grade
from
trash,
so
part
of
it
is
the
recycling
infrastructure.
But
we
got
to
put
that
as
an
incentive
challenge
on
hero
X,
and
we
want
to
show
the
first
ever
example
that
open-source
product
development
works
and
it
works
better
than
industry
standards.
C
So
I
mean
we're
gonna
change
all
this,
it's
common
in
a
few
years,
but
right
now
we're
in
this
still
in
the
stage.
But
part
of
the
reason
why
I
want
to
do
this
team
camps
is
that
we
generate
a
population
of
development
capable
people
that
can
participate
in
the
contests,
and
actually
the
developers
like
yourself
instructors
would
continue
the
ongoing
product
development.
As
a
you
know,
as
a
team
as
a
bunch
of
collaborators
and.
G
G
C
An
offshoot
of
that
it's
for
crowd,
source
projects,
crowd
design,
but
well,
we'll
just
put
that
in
a
budget
we'll
put
that
okay,
you
LCE
certification
that
that's
part
of
the
development
budget
for
that
incentive
challenge.
So
when
we
get
that
funded
they'll
say
we
do
a
250
K
prize.
We
might
add
another
250
K
for
legal
and
enterprise
and
all
of
that
and.
C
From
companies
so
I
think
we
won't
have
a
problem
raising
that
I
I
think
I've
got
some
good
contacts
on
that
cool,
so
so
open
sourcing,
super
co-operators
isn't
really
important
to
us.
How
would
you
rate
yourself
on
your
scale
like
how
much
you
believe
in
an
open-source
culture
from
from
one
to
ten.
G
H
I
H
H
G
H
C
G
C
That's
right,
yeah
as
far
as
cooperating
with
a
bunch
of
people
from
like,
so
we're
looking
at
doing
like
twelve
events
at
the
same
time,
and
that
means
we
work
together
on
the
curriculum
and
all
that
and
have
a
couple
of
meetings
where
we
teach
each
other
stuff
like
that.
How
would
you
rate
yourself
as
a
cooperator?
Do
you
do
you
kind
of
see
a
gap
in
how
people
cooperate
or
what
you?
What's
your
take
on
super
like?
How
would
you
rate
yourself
as
a
cooperator.
G
H
E
I
C
C
Well,
maybe
we
could
get
you
cuz
see
the
plotter
wouldn't
require
that
you'd
have
the
ability
to
prototype
is
a
simple
axis.
The
axis
cost
like
$25
an
axis,
but
you
don't
have
a
3d
printer
you're,
not
any
hackerspace
or
anything
like
that.
I.
C
G
C
Yeah
yeah:
well,
maybe
maybe
we
can
allocate
the
tasks
of
the
power
controller
so
so
so
here's
the
situation,
assume
you
have
a
two
hundred
twenty-four
volt
two
under
amp
power
source
up
to
300
M
max.
Can
you
do
an
Arduino
controller
for
that
design?
That
I.
G
E
E
G
C
G
G
F
H
C
G
G
C
J
C
Every
can
teach
you
that
that's
shouldn't
be
an
issue
but
yeah,
but
for
the
steam
camp.
You'd
have
to
get
versed
in
this,
so
I
mean
like
freak
out
and
call
that,
like
the
basics,
I
mean
the
kind
of
stuff
that
is
actually
level,
but
you
have
to
know
it
enough
that
you
can
guide
people
through
it.
The
idea,
it's
more
like
you,
have
to
have
a
diverse
knowledge
base
like
how
all
the
tools
it's
more
about
tool
Ecology's
than
like
getting
super
deep
into
one
tool.
It's
more
about
process.
C
Okay,
so
let's
see
if
we
can
get
you
to
because
I
mean
basically
we're
like
all
the
stuff
you
see
in
the
curriculum,
there's
actually
I
mean.
Let
me
show
you
one
more
thing
here
on
the
curriculum
page
there's
the
did.
You
see
the
graphic
which
shows
like
the
different
machines
on
how
they
fit
to
one
another
yeah.
H
C
So
if
you
can
get
it
doing
that,
basically
it's
like
it's
kind
of
like
almost
a
self-selecting
process.
We're
gonna
like
for
the
next
two
weeks,
I'm
still
recruiting
people,
but
after
that
we're
gonna
call
a
meeting
and
we're
gonna
call
for
okay,
let's
divvy
up
these
tasks
and
and
develop
the
curriculum
for
that,
and
all
of
us,
like
twelve,
might
be
more
than
twelve
people.
It
might
not
be
up
to
24
people
or
so,
but
we
all
take
up
a
little
part
of
the
curriculum
and
right
at
that
write.
G
C
H
C
C
H
C
So,
probably
with
it
will
probably
require
it.
If
we're
talking
about
200
MCS
you'll
need
a
heatsink,
definitely
but
basically
to
design
that,
and
then
we
can
take
a
look
at
it,
prototype
it
and
see
if
you
can
basically
control
them.
It's
gonna
be
just
about
pulse
width,
modulated
control,
so
so
by
the
duty
cycle.
You're
gonna
take
the
24
volts
and
with
a
knob,
that's
already
on
the
LCD
screen
that
we
have
on
the
controller
just
turn
it.
H
C
C
J
C
H
C
Buy
and
then
get
the
leads
out
of
that
for
your
power
source
and
that's
your
like.
Those
battery
packs
can
put
out
between
10
and
30
amps
max
so
times
that
12
so
between,
like
120
and
360
amps
they're,
supposedly
rated
for,
like
those
Panasonic
18,
650s,
they're,
supposedly
rated
for
30
amps.
So
in
principle
that
power
supply
of
12
battery
packs
is
doable
for
like
five
minutes
of
360
amps,
at
least
five
minutes,
which
is
crazy
power.
So,
but
we
have
to
control
that
so
so
we've
got.
C
So
we
put
some
electrodes
on
that
and
you
could
we're
controlling
the
power,
so
we
just
get
like
a
regular,
off-the-shelf,
eighth
inch,
welding
rods
and
we'll
weld
with
that.
So
that's
they'll
be
the
day
day,
four
of
the
camp,
just
to
show
that
how
powerful
these
simple
techniques
can
be
basically
power,
elements,
microcontrollers
and
so
forth,
yeah
so
I'll
leave
you
at
that
and
I'll
follow
up
with
email
and
I
gotta
catch.
This
next
call,
but
you
think
you
can
do
that.
Yeah.
C
First
update
yourself
on
all
the
prior
art
that
we
know
of
for
like
these
quart
cordless.
Well,
there
is
like
all
this
stuff,
it's
at
the
bottom
of
the
curriculum
page,
so
study
that
and
the
document
in
there
with
the
graphic
like
the
diagram.
Look
on
page
four,
that's
a
complete
breakdown,
we're
gonna
start
attaching
names
to
that.
We'll
add
yours
to
the
welder
part.
