Hackaday Podcast Ep 389: Spinning Lightfield Displays and Jenny Visits a Blast Furnace

Hackaday Podcast · 2 Oct 2026 · 58m · Episode 389

What this episode covers

Jenny List and Elliot Williams discuss Henrik Forstén’s synthetic aperture radar drone, which achieves centimeter-level resolution using RTK GPS and post-processing kinematic positioning. They also cover Breaking Taps’ custom microprocessor designed via wafer.space, James’ spinning Nipkow lightfield display, and Peter A. Jansen’s open-source tricorder featuring a Pomelo radiation detector and Hamamatsu spectrometer. Finally, Jenny describes her visit to the Zeche Zollverein industrial site in Germany’s Ruhr Valley.
