📖 From technical manual to zine.

Alongside the hardware, we’ve been developing an 8-page A5 black-and-white windkit zine — simple, visual and easy to replicate.

The idea: break down barriers and make complex building knowledge more accessible, playful and inviting.

It connects practical build instructions, visuals and open-source documentation into something you can print, share and build from.

🌀 First CNC-milled rotor blades are here!

A big moment for the project: we successfully milled our rotor blades with CNC for the first time at TMDC.

This is a major step for improving precision, repeatability and easier replication.

The blades capture the wind and transfer its energy into rotational movement — so their geometry matters a lot for performance.

🌪 Resin, coils and a big milestone for windkit ⚡️

We’ve successfully improved our vacuum infusion process for casting the stator — a huge step toward making production more reliable and replicable.

The stator is where electricity is generated — it sits between the magnetic rotor discs and transforms rotation into power.

Community, Austausch und Making in der Praxis 💡
Beim #MakeYourSchool Mentor*innen-Treffen wurde klar: Es geht um mehr als Projekte. Von Reparaturdesign bis KI entstehen Kompetenzen für eine zirkuläre Zukunft.

Making befähigt Schüler*innen, Dinge zu verstehen – und besser zu gestalten: lokal, ressourcenschonend, reparierbar.

Hey fediverse, what's the latest news on portable mini e-ink computers? I wanna be able to run linux from my hammock in the sunny woods this summer 🌞

The “Build A Boy” Project

I recall having read about a project which lets people turn Lego Game Boys into working Game Boys. I was reminded of it when I saw a link to the official Crowd Supply project, authored by Natalie Cursio. While I am not purchasing a Lego Game Boy and Build A Boy set myself, it is a very neat project. I tip my hat here from my humble website.
