## Summary

Hackaday editors Mike Szczys and Elliot Williams review the 2019 Hackaday Prize finalists, highlighting projects like the Axiom 100kW motor controller and the Power One breadboard power supply. They discuss Ben Krasnow’s cryogenic drill bit treatment, non-planar 3D printing techniques, and an ESP8266-based water meter reader. The episode also covers Padauk microcontrollers, massive LED cubes, radiation monitoring projects, and a deep dive into the Ada programming language.
