We constructed a second Polatherm (instant camera) with a wooden podest and an acrylic cover for the European Forum Alpbach in cooperation with Happylab, Vienna, the Club Alpbach Oberösterreich and the Federal Ministry for Science, Research and Economy, The installation is 1.50 meters high and consists of three parts, which can be plugged together.
Für das European Forum Alpbach haben wir in Kooperation mit dem Happylab Wien, dem Club Alpbach Oberösterreich und dem Bundesminiserium für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Wirtschaft eine zweite Polatherm (Sofortbildkamera) mit Holzpodest und Schutzhülle angefertigt.
Ever wonder how all of those tiny chips and components can fit inside your laptop or smartphone? If you tried to squeeze them in there yourself, your laptop would quickly become too heavy for your lap, and your mobile phone would need wheels to stay mobile.
The secret to miniaturization is surface mount soldering. Surface mount soldering is peformed in a temperature controlled oven so that the components solder themselves to the circuit board. Today, we make a surface mount soldering (or reflow) oven using a regular countertop toaster oven and an Arduino.
Last night we finished a prototype for charging mobile phones. The LED display shows the produced power, some animations and statistics. Tomorrow the prototype will be on the Radgipfel 2015 - in Klagenfurt, next week in France. We have implemented the project with IG Fahrrad Vienna.

The Polatherm is an instant camera based on the thermal printing method. The photo is printed out in black and white immediately after shooting.
What can I bring my eleven month old niece Emma? After some considerations I came up with the idea of "Emmatone", a small electronic music instrument. From willow branches I have braided five round rings, wrapped them with a conductive thread which is connected to a small controller board. The controller board is connected to a loudspeaker and a power supply. Each of the five willow rings are associated with different piano sounds, so playful small compositions and melodies can be created by touching the rings.
Über was könnte sich meine 11 Monate alte Nichte Emma in Oslo freuen? Nach einigen Überlegungen kam ich auf die Idee das Emmatone zu bauen. Aus Weidenästen habe ich fünf runde Ringe geflochten, diese mit leitenden Fäden umwickelt, welche mit 5 Pins eines kleinen Ansteuerungsboards verbunden sind. Das Ansteuerungboard ist wiederum mit einem Lautsprecher und einem Netzteil verbunden. Jedem der fünf Weidenringe ist ein unterschiedlicher Klavierklang zugeordnet, so können durch Berührung der Ringe spielerisch kleine Kompositionen und Melodien kreiiert werden.
