Projects blog (*wave* Hi, I'm Nancy, aka nouyang). Tuesday, December 31, 2013. Gender Gap in Engineering: My Take (stop looking solely within the U.S. and do more active experiments instead of surveys). Continuing the spate of blog posts, I'd like to write down my take on feminism, engineering, and the gender gap. Countries with a Majority of Female Science Degrees and Other Surprising Statistics. Let's start out with some surprising statistics from " What Gender is Science. As a nicely laid-out pdf here.

1GHz Active Differential Probe – Daniel Kramnik's Project Log
https://xellers.wordpress.com/electronics/1ghz-active-differential-probe
Daniel Kramnik's Project Log. 1GHz Active Differential Probe. Differential Probe Probing Some Differences. Please note, documentation is still in progress! This project was an ultra high input impedance (0.5pF 30MΩ or better) high bandwidth differential oscilloscope probe designed, built, and revised over the course of two weekends for the 2014 MakeMIT. That I had otherwise been unable to get good data on. For example, here is a 100MHz ADC clock waveform:. Is it passably square? Sadly, due to the limited...

Jaguar's Spot: December 2013

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.

Shane Colton: MIT Mini Maker Faire 2014
http://scolton.blogspot.com/2014/10/mit-mini-maker-faire-2014.html
Saturday, October 18, 2014. MIT Mini Maker Faire 2014. I made a quick trip back to Boston/Cambridge for the first ever MIT Mini Maker Faire. Recap and pictures below, but first here is some video from the event:. As expected from an MIT Maker Faire, there were lots of electric go-karts, Tesla coils, 3D printers, robots, and. Chainsaw.pink scooter.things. To this I contributed a set of long-time Maker Faire veteran projects ( Pneu Scooter. The travel requirement meant that, unfortunately, tinyKart. In che...

So last I left off (in the previous post. 160;that I forgot to name Part 2 in the Building-RWBY-scythe-series-of-posts), I was in the middle of prototyping. That version was unfortunately scrapped (though not entirely) for the con. In hindsight though, the size was a good reference for the next version. But! For now, let me tell you about the RWBY scythe I build for Anime Boston. Next version is already in the works. Off to Lulu Land.

cynaesthetics: February 2013
http://cynaesthetics.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 28, 2013. I've been commissioned for a few projects lately but I haven't been updating much on any of them, sadly. But when things start rolling out with them, I'll blog more about them here! In the meantime though, here are a few practice sketches I'd made sometime in the past month! Air-based, but mobile in water too- I'm thinking. Possibly used for cargo or construction. Above: More animal-inspired designs! Scout ships, and a floating island of rock and water. This was for a comic).

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...
