Self-replicating 3D printer: von Neumann machines on Mars?
Is this self-replicating 3D printer a von Neumann machine that will someday go to Mars? Yesterday, we experimented with our idea of Instagram to 3D printed jewelry for the more popular monochrome photos in our feed. The technology worked at some level (we have jewelry on Shapeways now, based on a previous IG photo post). But it took too long and too many artistic decisions to get it there. It wasn’t quite blinking lights automatic the way our earlier virtual fashion shoot could be. So this is a good time to step back and explain what 3D printing is or can become, for those we are less familiar with it. This is Mandel, a version of RepRap. RepRap is an open source hardware project to build a fully self-replicating 3D printer. That’s right, a 3D printer that can print a copy of itself. We’ve discussed the concept of self-replicating machines previously in posts on cellular automata.… Read the restGeoengineering and Terraforming Artificial Earthquakes Through Fracking to Save Lives?
Geoengineering Artificial Earthquakes to Save Lives? This blog has focused primarily on practical solutions to the problems of PM2.5 air quality pollution. Things like inexpensive dust particulate sensors for your home, ultra-cheap DIY air purifiers made from duct tape. We’ve run a fashion section with inexpensive masks that are handy to keep stockpiled not only for air pollution and wildfires but also in case of Ebola and Bird Flu panics (both happening at this writing). We just wrote a blog article on big data analysis of earthquakes, and recommended only the cheapest and most-practical immediate crowdsourcing solutions. Can Artificial Earthquakes Save Lives? Click To Tweet But frequent readers will not that we have not been afraid to speculate or address controversial topics. We know of no other corporate blogs that discuss geoengineering, astroengineering, or terraforming. (If you know of one, get in touch.) If we don’t do it, who will? Cosmos and Sagan on Astroengineering A re-make of the Cosmos TV series is currently being aired.… Read the restRecent Comments
