Ep 272: Desktop EDM, Silence of the Leaves, and the Tyranny of the Rocket Equation

Hackaday Podcast · 24 May 2024 · 1h 16m · Episode 272

What this episode covers

Hosts Tom Nardy and Dan Maloney discuss a desktop wire EDM machine from Rack Robotics that fits in a 10-gallon aquarium, enabling precise machining of conductive materials like steel and titanium on a small scale. They also cover a project that reverse-engineers Nintendo 64 games into native PC code, a 3D-printed noise suppressor for DeWalt leaf blowers developed by Johns Hopkins students and adopted by Stanley Black & Decker, and a high-altitude balloon project that successfully filmed a solar eclipse from 80,000 feet.
