Jaguar's Spot: December 2013
http://kriste11er.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 11, 2013. VDSKart: TIG Welding Aluminum Frame. Ive been meaning to build an electric vehicle a bit more exciting than my Electric Orbit Wheels. And by a bit more exciting, I mean ridiculous acceleration. And driving around MIT campus. 160;at odd hours of the night. Its about time I built something that I could bring along and race Bens trike. In the Stata basement. After looking at many different designs for racing go-karts, I came up with this frame.

Jaguar's Spot: Motorbycle: A Bigger Electric Vehicle... Or So I Thought
http://kriste11er.blogspot.com/2013/07/motorbycle-bigger-electric-vehicle-or.html
Tuesday, July 30, 2013. Motorbycle: A Bigger Electric Vehicle. Or So I Thought. After the Electric Orbit Wheels and the extremely fun nights/early mornings in the Stata Parking Garage with Ben's. I started thinking about a bigger, faster electric vehicle. The Electric Orbit Wheels are great for short commutes around MIT, but not for midnight garaging. I don't remember this story from my point of view, but this is similar to how my Dad tells it. She had no idea what I meant until my third birthday. My Dad...

Jaguar's Spot: Shortest Path to MITERS
http://kriste11er.blogspot.com/2013/11/shortest-path-to-miters.html
Monday, November 4, 2013. Shortest Path to MITERS. I finally got around to precisely measuring the different EC to MITERS routes on Google Earth. I wasn't sure how the path through the Swapfest parking lot compared to the others, but this confirms its about the same distance. As for the numbers:. White = 693 meters (the absolute shortest distance to MITERS from EC). Red w/shortcut = 848 m (includes the sidewalk currently blocked by construction on building 35). Red w/o shortcut = 856 m. Blue = 858 m.

Jaguar's Spot: Earth in the Foreground: How I Managed a Research Trip to Alaska
http://kriste11er.blogspot.com/2013/06/earth-in-foreground-flying-into.html
Thursday, June 20, 2013. Earth in the Foreground: How I Managed a Research Trip to Alaska. Flying into a Beautiful, Sunny, Hot Fairbanks. I don't normally take pictures outside an airplane window. However, Ed told me to take pictures. "Take LOTS of pictures." So why not. Waking up after a 2 hour nap, 10 hours of flying and 43 hours of sleepless exhaustion (prior to the nap), I looked out my window and saw this. Somewhere down near Mt. Saint Elias around Southeast Alaska. That cloud looks a bit different.

Jaguar's Spot: GlowBoard: A Welded Steel Mini-Skateboard
http://kriste11er.blogspot.com/2013/05/glowboard-welded-steel-mini-skateboard.html
Monday, May 6, 2013. GlowBoard: A Welded Steel Mini-Skateboard. Inspired by Ben's PocketBoard. I decided to make a small skateboard in order to scavenge free food faster. It all started when my roommate crufted an old skateboard from his fraternity. I went on Ebay and found some awesome glow-in-the-dark 70x51 mm skateboard wheels. For more on the build process. Here's the board my roommate crufted. The glow-in-the-dark wheels are really cool looking. in the dark. My MIG welds aren't the best, but they wi...

Jaguar's Spot: Earth in the Foreground: Building the Pan/Tilt Time-lapse Platform
http://kriste11er.blogspot.com/2013/10/earth-in-foreground-building-pantilt.html
Saturday, October 5, 2013. Earth in the Foreground: Building the Pan/Tilt Time-lapse Platform. Before heading up to Alaska. To film the Sun up above the Arctic Circle, I made a device to slowly move the camera in pitch and yaw using some of Joseph's stepper motors and scrap metal around CSAIL. First press fit. ever. Because I didn't have an abundant amount of scrap rectangular stock, I used a scrap piece of metal to test the hole size to get the press fit right. And to add yet another press fit, I turned...

Jaguar's Spot: Electric Stater System Troubleshooting Part 2: Yes, Small Wires Limit Current
http://kriste11er.blogspot.com/2013/10/electric-stater-system-troubleshooting.html
Saturday, October 5, 2013. Electric Stater System Troubleshooting Part 2: Yes, Small Wires Limit Current. After reading and talking with some friends, I realized my earlier conclusion that the starter motor had a short is not the case. Because it turned slightly, the current is providing some torque. Therefore, it isn't shorted. If the starter motor did have a short, it would not have turned at all when I hooked the battery straight to the motor. Draining the engine oil and coolant:. This is what the sta...
