## Summary

Hackaday editors Mike Szczys and Elliot Williams record from Chaos Communication Camp, reviewing a week of hardware hacks. They discuss Matt Bliskey’s automatic kite winder with a ball reverser, Tom Stanton’s Coanda effect quadcopter, and J. Little 988s’ 3D-printed gearbox that twists aluminum extrusion. The hosts also cover nuclear-powered ramjet history, micrometeorite collection, and various quick hacks including an Echo Dot USB mod and a MIDI harp.
