Episode description
Carl Bugeja makes actuators out of PCBs, puts them to work flapping origami bird wings (or moving robot rovers), and takes videos of the whole process. Oh, and get this, self-soldering circuits.
First, origami: flap actuators video. Your source for the PCB actuators: flexar.io
Carl's YouTube channel is filled with hardware, software, successes, and misses. Check out his tiny foldable rover and the self-soldering circuit. His projects are open source so you can find the information on github.com/CarlBugeja
Carl has a site (carlbugeja.com) and shows his projects on Instagram instagram.com/carl_bugeja
Elecia worked on a zero-heat-flux, deep tissue temperature measurement system.
