Questioning Everyday Prototyping - Verrucose Vehicle Vitilitigation

The Amp Hour · 12 Feb 2015 · 1h 20m · Episode 236

What this episode covers

Hosts Chris Gammell and Dave Jones discuss the practical realities of prototyping, focusing on the Volterra VLM-1 PCB printer and the Macrofab assembly service. They analyze the limitations of home prototyping tools versus traditional methods and evaluate the viability of electric vehicles like the Mitsubishi i-MiEV for daily use. The conversation also covers the physics of battery technology, a scientific discovery by YouTuber Thunderfoot, and the Raspberry Pi 2's sensitivity to camera flashes.
