Projects

High current

A high current power supply consisting of three large transformers and rectifiers was built in spring 2005. It was originally intended to power a giant electromagnet found on reuse but the results were unsatisfactory. The power supply has since been used in many applications requiring low voltage and high current, such as arc welding, heating wires to break glass bottles, and electrolysis.

Unistrut loft

The loft was built over the summer of 2005, with discarded Unistrut. It is L-shaped, with a bed and built in desk on one side and an elevated storage platform with Institute furniture below it on the other.

In early November 2005, ashelf was added above the desk to hold additional monitors. Walker's main computer currrently has three monitors, one of which is a touch screen.

Future plans include expansion to form a U. This new leg will support the Cat 5 hammock shown on the main page.
