Post your questions and comments about the show here!
I saw a commercial for Make last week on Create Tv and anticipated the show as one who has a workshop filled with "stuff".
By luck, I came across the show - and by chance, caught the first episode.
I have been watching one episode after another this early Sunday morning and now completing the 10th show just now. - (Create is running them back to back). What a cool and geeky presentation! I have learned and been inspired by so much already. I would like to incorporate some of the projects into my astronomical endeavours.
YOU could own up to a 75% share in a creative new Eco Venture. Please help fund, provide materials or shop access for, or just manage the following Solar Cooking, Solar Foundry or Ultra High Mileage Vehicle business ideas.
IDEA " A "
Wanna Solar Cook with semi - focused sunlight at 350 - 500 degrees F? Perfect! Now go here: www.sun-and-ice.de Interested in establishing low - budget production facilities? Just ask me how!
IDEA " B "
" Make TV " used a large fresnel TV lense to partially melt down a luggage lock. Cool science trick! Now, read the following very close for something similar that's HOT HOT HOT! :
Or make valuable * * * * ' Parabola Solar Micro Foundry Metal Goods * * * * using simple die - cast and sand - cast molds .... .... make limited edition metal art, toys, figurines, and so forth ....
Make a 2,100 - 3,800 degree Farenheit light - focusing reflector dish with this formula:
X { mathematically squared } = 4PY

IDEA " C "
Custom build a car, truck, or SUV that's capable of 100 " daily commuter " miles on lithium batteries and a www.electrifyingtimes.com electric motor.
Insist on only selling to customers who charge the lithium batteries via Solar or Wind power.
Now, anywhere from 20 - 60% of all miles will be trips that are outside of the 100 mile " daily commuter " range ..... for road trips, vacation mileage and so on.
Factor in the fact that 40 - 80% of all miles are " infinite " daily commuter miles with all that Solar & Wind Powered Wattage.... the fuel is FREE. For example, if 8 miles are daily commuter " infinite " miles and 2 miles are " road trip " miles at 35 m.p.g., .... where you use your onboard Gasoline, CNG, Alcohol or M85 fueled engine or generator, the calculation is:
280 miles [ solar or wind charged batteries ] + 70 miles [ CNG or liquid fossil / farm fuel ] = 350 miles on 2 gallons of fuel ....
.... 350 miles divided by 2 gallons is 175 miles per gallon.
Neat, huh?
Interesting strategy, no?
