Completed Laser Cut Brackets
You might remember from the other week that I had designed and cut some perspex brackets as an mounting for a piece of art for an exhibition. The show is now up and open as one of the independent exhibitions that are part of the Liverpool Biennial. If you were...
Raspberry Pi Micro
The Raspberry Pi has been heavily influenced by the legacy of the BBC Micro — right from being an educational computing platform, all the way to having a B version that has twice the memory of the A-version, plus networking! So the first thing I wanted to do when I...
Rear Hanger Shear Strap
Using adhesive as the main joining method for the Atomic Duck requires careful design of the part interfaces. Where welding is equally as strong in all directions, adhesive performs well in compression and shear, but badly when there is tension across the joint. This is not a problem of the...
Have Laser: Will Cut
I’ve been designing parts for the Atomic Duck to be manufacture by laser cutting, so I looked for a makerspace or friendly laser cutter in Liverpool. DoESLiverpool has a workshop with a laser cutter and a makerbot and co-working space, and I’ve been having great fun it their Makernights (two...
A001_P018_R001 Chain Cover
As the chain has been rerouted for this design revision, and now goes through the cab and luggage area, that area needs to be covered. While this could be covered with 3 interlocking panels, I don’t want to leave sharp corners in the luggage area. Instead, a single piece that...

Unfortunately,...
A003_R002 Seat Design
The seat structure seems to have taken the most time of all the assemblies to re-design, though it was interrupted by some thesis redrafts. It’s perhaps a measure of the amount of how much work was needed on the previous revision (A003_R001). [gallery link=”file” columns=”2” include=”2496,2481,2482,2487”] One crucial task in...
Go Technical Innovation!
The 24 Heures du Mans (Le Mans 24 Hours) traditionally has a garage reserved for a vehicle that doesn’t fit the current rules. Though the car runs unclassified and is ineligible for any of the prizes, it’s an opportunity for the selected car to run alongside the rest of the...
Using Bitcoins
I’ve written about what bitcoins are and how you use them is up to you, but if you are going to use them, you’ll want to know how to get some. You can start by either mining Bitcoins, or you can exchange something of value you have for Bitcoins. I...
add-rel-lightbox Version 0.4 Released
Upgrade from your WordPress admin panel, or download from wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-rel-lightbox/ Version 0.4 switches from identifing the link-wrapped images in a page with hacked-together regexes that just about work, to properly parsed HTML structure using PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser. When I initially tried to release version 0.4 and installed the...
