Just a place to post stuff non-3d related, but think will be interesting....

Get the ball rolling, human powered flight...these lads built a helicopter which is human powered.


Sweet!

Also the lads at Nasa built a rocket engine part using 3d printing....but I lost the link.
Anyone?

I suppose, keeping with the copter theme, I'll post this here.  Most of you will have seen the stuffed catcopter - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePNdcdNm9fY

The Dutch artist behind it, Bart Jansen, built another one.  With a stuffed ostrich.  It really has to be seen to be believed.

I'm hoping to build a quadcopter soon, once I have the cash for it.  I don't think I'll be using dead animals though.

I saw the cat and ostrich in action yesterday at ohm2013.
They look great in action.
The ostrich is huge,
