Fuel burned to provide energy for domestic water heating accounts for over 5% of total UK CO2 emissions. Most of this water is used for personal washing and the amount of energy used is increasing as consumers wash more often, demand more luxurious showers, and increasingly utilise the bathroom for pleasure/leisure.<br />
<br />
Novel packages of existing techniques and technologies can yield 50-80% energy savings with better shower performance, saving 1-2% of UK CO2e emissions at 50% market penetration. We’re working to make them both practical and affordable at individual dwelling scale. They enable a bunch of smart features to modify behaviour and transform the user experience too. Thou shalt covet these and will save the world by indulging yourself.<br />
<br />
We were seed funded in June 2013 by the Climate-KIC at Imperial College and are actively looking for an exceedingly good industrial designer to join the team. Does being to showers as James Dyson is to vacuums tickle your fancy? Know somebody for whom it might? marko@cosic.org.uk please!<br />

=== @Makespace ===<br />
I've left a few of the tools on extended loan at Makespace (those that are either indestructible or too specialist for the tool-wrecking amateurs to have a use for...)<br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/catalog/product/view/id/2295/category/838/ Metal knock-out punches]<br />
Very useful for making large round holes in cars and metal project boxes. 1.4 mm mild steel / 2.5 mm alloy is about its limit; use common sense and plenty of lube!<br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/ball-joint-service-kit-for-2wd-and-4wd-vehicles-4065.html C-frame press]<br />
Where you need to take the press to the job rather than the job to the press.<br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/hydraulic-wire-crimping-tool-66150.html Hydraulic crimper]<br />
Can be used for wire rope too. <br />
<br />

Don't use on anything more resilient than leather please.<br />
<br />
[http://hfreviews.com/item.php?id=5093 Hook-spanner/C-spanner set]<br />
As used for water pumps/viscous fans for bearing retainer nuts. Where you'd normally knock "that stupid castle shaped nut" around with a chisel or metal punch these are the tools you're meant to use.<br />
<br />
[http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/105wprosafetywiringkit.php Safety lockwire kit]<br />
These were expensive, so watch lockwiring videos online before using these and dont use them for anything else please. Chuck a few coins in the case (not Makespace box) to replace the wire/let me know if the spools are nearly empty so that I can reorder. Silently using up the last piece won't win you friends. ;-)<br />

'''Sewing Machine'''<br />
Ultra basic Singer "Serenade" from LIDL. Looks a little like [http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4602222.htm this one] at Argos. I won't leave this in Makespace because I know what happens to "domestic" machines in schools and workplaces (short unhappy lives and never available working when you need them) but I'm happy to let people borrow it on a you-break-it-you-bought-it basis. (£80 new)<br />
<br />
'''Thule 3-bike rack'''<br />
Towball mount; 13 pin electrics.<br />
<br />
'''Trailer'''<br />
I've got a small trailer that lives in Cambridge CB4 and I'm happy for any makespace members to borrow it as/when required. <br />
<br />
The bed is 1750 mm long and 960 mm wide; 760 mm between the wheelboxes. Max 550 kg gross but the chassis is heavy so only ~250 kg legal payload. All the lights work (has 7-pin and 13-pin plugs) and it has the breakaway cable/jockey wheel too: <br />
<br />
[http://www.cosic.org.uk/MarkoStuff/misc/1-IMAG1206.jpg trailer pic]<br />
<br />
Useful for appliances, sofas and whatnot. The bed is only 6 mm ply, so please don't throw rubble into it (laying bricks/slabs in is fine) and if you carry something like a piano that is heavy and on castors please chock it up with wood to avoid damage. The sides are made of cheese too, so try not to rest heavy things on them whilst loading or pull them inwards with ratchet straps. You break it you fix it; it gets nicked whilst you're using it you buy another one etc. (please take the padlock with you when borrowing it!) <br />
<br />
It is legal to use the number plate from the back of your car o the trailer whilst you're towing, leaving none on the car. £7 buys a plate from eBay without the ID and V5 hassle you'll get at Halfords. If you wanted to leave my plate on there that's fine by me and though strictly speaking naughty I've never heard of people being hassled for having the wrong plate/marker pen plate on a tip-run trailer provided all the lights etc work: you'll hardly be setting any speed records!<br />
<br />
550 kg is light enough to be legal behind pretty much anything. Check the your car though (some are 500 kg max) and if you passed your test after 1997 make sure that the car you're towing with has a maximum gross weight under 2,950kg so that you're under 3,500kg gross train weight. (no Land-Rovers...)</div>Markocosichttp://wiki.makespace.org/Arduino_and_CakeArduino and Cake2013-08-21T16:40:05Z<p>Markocosic: /* Electricity monitor and TRIAC based resistive load driver */</p>

= Arduino and Cake =<br />
<br />
This is a page of information for the (hopefully) regular 'Arduino and Cake' event we run at Makespace. This is an evening where we get together in the space to learn and hack on projects involving the Arduino and similar microcontrollers. As the name suggests, there's also cake!<br />
<br />
If you're a complete beginner to microcontrollers (tiny, very cheap computers without an operating system, files, display, keyboard...) this is a great opportunity to come and play with them. Experts also very welcome, in fact we need you to help the new people! Possible things you can do with an Arduino (a particularly easy to use microcontroller board) range from simple flashing lights up to acting as the brains of an autonomous flying robot, managing your hydroponic gardening project or tweeting the current temperature of your hot water tank. This get-together is intended to help those of us for whom imagination exceeds expertise (that is to say, pretty much everyone I know), let's build cool things together :)<br />
<br />
== Sessions ==<br />
<br />
The plan is to have this as regularly as possible, varying the day around in case people can't make a particular day of the week.<br />
<br />
# Our first session, with all levels of experience from complete novices to expert embedded programmers. Everyone paired up, with beginners and experts working together; judging from the happy buzz of making noises (both the noise of making, and the making of noises - we had buzzers!) it worked pretty well. The meetup page for the first go is [http://www.meetup.com/Makespace/events/130569572/ on meetup here]<br />
# The second one was on the 8th of August; meetup event [http://www.meetup.com/Makespace/events/132710342/ here], big copies of the photos (which are lurking on the right hand side of this very page) [http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomoinn/sets/72157634991866826/ here] :) Some of the bits for the Big Box of Breakout Boards and Bits arrived, temperature and humidity sensors and stepper motor drivers yielded to sugar driven curiosity.<br />
# The third was on the 16th August, slightly slower mostly as was distracted wiring cables but we made the dot matrix displays work (mostly) and Martin hacked some more on his sky tracking camera mount. Meetup event page [http://www.meetup.com/Makespace/events/134508292/ here]<br />
<br />
The next meeting will be on Wednesday 28th August - sign up on meetup.com [http://www.meetup.com/Makespace/events/135690182/ here] - let's make some robots :)<br />
<br />

== Big Box of Breakout Boards and Bits (BBBBB) ==<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We've had approval to buy some bits and pieces for people to play with at this event, and generally within Makespace so I've done an eBay dive and ordered the following, these will arrive sometime over the next month or so:<br />
<br />
# {{Done|80 high brightness LEDs (20 each of orange, green, blue and pink!)}}<br />
# {{Done|4 LED Dot matrix modules with drivers}}<br />
# {{Done|2 Eight digit seven segment displays with drivers}}<br />
# 2 Ethernet shields for the Arduino Nano<br />
# {{Done|4 LCD 20x4 character displays}}<br />
# {{Done|8 Motion sensors (6 degrees of freedom MPU6050 based with 3 axis gyro and 3 axis accelerometer)}}<br />
# {{Done|6 Arduino Nano v3 boards (ATMega328, mounts on a breadboard)}}<br />
# {{Done|12 Dual H-bridge modules, used to drive regular and stepper motors}}<br />
# {{Done|3 Temperature / Relative humidity sensor modules}}<br />
# {{Done|2 IR correlation sensor modules (the kind where you have a beam which outputs a signal when broken, good for detecting rotation etc)}}<br />
# {{Done|10 Small servo motors (9g plastic type)}}<br />
# {{Done|6 Ultrasonic rangefinder modules, detect bounce from around 20cm to 3m}}<br />
# {{Done|4 Stepper motors with driver modules, 5v supply}}<br />
# {{Done|1 Barometric pressure sensor module}}<br />
# 10 Playstation style joysticks, the little analogue ones with a built in pushbutton on breakout boards<br />
# {{Done|10 NRF24L01 radio modules, short (~100m) range radio modules capable of transmitting packets of 3 bytes at around 2Mbits/second under ideal conditions}}<br />
# {{Done|A lot of somewhat longer jumper leads (20cm and 30cm) both male to male and male to female, the latter being particularly useful for connecting to the radio modules as they have a non-breadboard-friendly pin layout (or we can make boards with the PCB mill)}}<br />
<br />
Total budget for all the above including shipping is 270GBP (you get a lot of electronics for you money when buying from the far East!)<br />
<br />
As and when these appear at my house I'll bring them in and add them to the BBBBB - I'm planning to buy a decent size box with compartments to keep these in, both as convenient access and as a way to monitor attrition (these are cheap, but the cheapness comes with long lead times). These bits will be for use at Makespace, rather than for consumption but as long as we have enough items we can be flexible on that; I think if someone has ordered a Nano, say, there's no reason we can't lend them one of the kit ones while they wait for it to turn up.<br />
<br />
'''Update''' - we now have the box and some of the bits, I'm marking bits which have arrived and are now in the box in {{Done|this colour}} in the list above. At the moment the box is waiting to be documented and have the components properly marked, it'll then be left in Makespace and hopefully its contents won't evaporate too fast!<br />
<br />
'''Update 14th August 2013''' - The BBBBB has its own wiki page at [[Arduino and Cake/Big Box]] where we'll try to document everything as it arrives. Add information to that page if you find something interesting about a part we have, it's also the place to put requests for components and modules.<br />
<br />
'''Update 20th August 2013''' - More bits have arrived, we're almost complete! The next session should result in robots, or I'll be severely displeased.<br />

Got an interesting project or a project idea? Add it here.<br />
<br />
=== Vehicle monitor / heating controller ===<br />
<br />
I've re-wired my Land Rover, using a star topology, with a big central "ganglion" which almost all the wires run to and from. There's an extra wire coming from each connection, that will go to a board of LEDs and voltage dividers, the latter feeding into an Arduino Mega, which will monitor just about everything, and display information on a small LCD panel.<br />
<br />
I'm also planning to make a motorized heater control system (moving flaps to direct air from an Eberspacher) and the valve motors will be driven from relays on the Arduino.<br />
<br />
And there'll be a GPS/GSM security unit, and eventually a Linux board (probably Pandaboard) running navigation software. And later on, I hope, an electric motor to drive the extra axle I added. The Arduino Mega will route data between all these points, with its multiple hardware UARTS, as well as sending out information it converts locally from its own inputs.<br />
<br />
I expect the software will be a main loop that polls all UARTs for incoming information, all wiring lines for changes from their previous state, all heating valve position sensors for whether they've reached the right position, all pedals for information to send to the traction motor controller when fitted, and does the associated actions (for example, NMEA sentences from the GPS get forwarded to the Linux board for navigation and are also used to display the time on the LCD, heating switches update the desired positions for flap valves).<br />

=== Quadcopter ===<br />
<br />
Because everyone loves autonomous flying robots surrounded by razor sharp rotating propellers, right?<br />
<br />
A friend and I are working on a full self build of a quad rotor, we have the airframe, motors, props, speed controllers and an arduino with a combined gyro / accelerometer mounted. We just need to add batteries, wireless comms and software. I don't know whether I can persuade Si to come along to this meeting, he's not a member, but that's one of the things I'm playing with at the moment. I'm using the MPU6050 and PID libraries to manage the feedback between the accelerometer and the speed controllers in an attempt to get a stable hover mode, and the NRF24L01 as the radio module.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Bottle rocket telemetry ===<br />
<br />
The family makers are making bottle rockets, I thought it'd be cool to try to make a telemetry module that would tell them how high they'd gone and render a 3d trace of the trajectory using either Processing or WebGL. The main challenge here is to get the circuitry small enough and tough enough to be carried by the rockets and then survive the return to ground level! The second issue is power, I have a LiPo battery and charger so should just be a case of a 3.3v regulator but maybe it needs a boost converter, not really my area of expertise so I'd really like some help there.<br />
<br />
At the moment I'm interested in using an ATTiny85 (8 pin dip package MCU) as an Arduino, using the MPU6050 gyro / accelerometer and an XBee v2 radio - I'd use the NRF24 radio but I think it needs more pins than I have available on the ATTiny. Another option would be to use a rather more sophisticated Arduino pro mini, more pins means the NRF radio would be an option which is much cheaper than the XBee modules.<br />
<br />
--[[User:Tomoinn|tmo]] 15:12, 2 August 2013 (BST)<br />
<br />
=== I2C plant moisture sensors ===<br />
<br />
Program an ATTiny85 as an I2C slave, embedding it onto a circuit board etched to work as a capacitive moisture sensor. Use Arduino nano with ethernet shield as an I2C master to then monitor the moisture levels in my various outdoor plant pots and tweet when they're getting too dry.<br />

=== Breadboard prototype of a 1D Pong Game ===<br />
<br />
The idea is to prototype a simple 1D pong game (see [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgQg1DVY4Xc YouTube]) on Arduino or other microcontroller.<br />
<br />
Features:<br />
*Some kind of startup animation (similar to the YouTube video)<br />
*A scoreboard or something similar. Based maybe on a segmented display or LCD.<br />
*SOUNDS! :-)<br />
*Perhaps some different game modes, maybe "powerups" of some kind?<br />
<br />
Eventually I would like this to be the start of a '''MUCH''' larger version of the game (but that's for the future ;-))<br />

=== Self-levelling camera gimbal ===<br />
<br />
One popular use of quadcopters is aerial photography/videography, but for this you ideally need a stabilised camera mounting. It's relatively easy to fabricate a two-axis gimbal for a small camera like a GoPro, driven by servos, which can hold itself level using readings from a gyro/accelerometer board.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Barn door sky tracker ===<br />
* Goal: take long exposure photos of the sky.<br />
* Problem: the sky rotates over the course of a long exposure.<br />
* Solution: make a motorised mount which rotates your camera at the same rate.<br />
<br />
I'm aiming to build a simple "barn door" mount (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barn_door_tracker) to enable me to take long exposure sky photos. At its simplest this is two hinged pieces of wood connected by a threaded rod which you turn slowly to increase the angle at the hinge. I'd like to drive this with a stepper motor so it can be left running, and ideally let the Arduino do some of the maths to compensate for the changing geometry of the mount.<br />

<br />
=== Electricity monitor and TRIAC based resistive load driver ===<br />
<br />
I need to modulate a large resistive heating load on AC with a TRIAC: whole cycle and half cycle burst fire with some supervisory decision making process to make it comply with the EMC directives. I also need to monitor the power delivered by integrating current and voltage over the waveform and integrating the lot. It would be useful to estimate the supply impedance and/or internal resistance of the load using the same hardware. A lot of this is similar to work done on the Open Energy Monitor by the Solar-PV folks trying to game the tax system - with added EMC directives...<br />

<br />
This is a page of information for the (hopefully) regular 'Arduino and Cake' event we run at Makespace. This is an evening where we get together in the space to learn and hack on projects involving the Arduino and similar microcontrollers. As the name suggests, there's also cake!<br />
<br />
If you're a complete beginner to microcontrollers (tiny, very cheap computers without an operating system, files, display, keyboard...) this is a great opportunity to come and play with them. Experts also very welcome, in fact we need you to help the new people! Possible things you can do with an Arduino (a particularly easy to use microcontroller board) range from simple flashing lights up to acting as the brains of an autonomous flying robot, managing your hydroponic gardening project or tweeting the current temperature of your hot water tank. This get-together is intended to help those of us for whom imagination exceeds expertise (that is to say, pretty much everyone I know), let's build cool things together :)<br />
<br />
== Sessions ==<br />
<br />
The plan is to have this as regularly as possible, varying the day around in case people can't make a particular day of the week.<br />
<br />
# Our first session, with all levels of experience from complete novices to expert embedded programmers. Everyone paired up, with beginners and experts working together; judging from the happy buzz of making noises (both the noise of making, and the making of noises - we had buzzers!) it worked pretty well. The meetup page for the first go is [http://www.meetup.com/Makespace/events/130569572/ on meetup here]<br />
# The second one was on the 8th of August; meetup event [http://www.meetup.com/Makespace/events/132710342/ here], big copies of the photos (which are lurking on the right hand side of this very page) [http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomoinn/sets/72157634991866826/ here] :) Some of the bits for the Big Box of Breakout Boards and Bits arrived, temperature and humidity sensors and stepper motor drivers yielded to sugar driven curiosity.<br />
# The third was on the 16th August, slightly slower mostly as was distracted wiring cables but we made the dot matrix displays work (mostly) and Martin hacked some more on his sky tracking camera mount. Meetup event page [http://www.meetup.com/Makespace/events/134508292/ here]<br />
<br />

'''Update 14th August 2013''' - The BBBBB has its own wiki page at [[Arduino and Cake/Big Box]] where we'll try to document everything as it arrives. Add information to that page if you find something interesting about a part we have, it's also the place to put requests for components and modules.<br />
<br />
'''Update 20th August 2013''' - More bits have arrived, we're almost complete! The next session should result in robots, or I'll be severely displeased.<br />

== Projects ==<br />
<br />
Got an interesting project or a project idea? Add it here.<br />
<br />
=== Vehicle monitor / heating controller ===<br />
<br />
I've re-wired my Land Rover, using a star topology, with a big central "ganglion" which almost all the wires run to and from. There's an extra wire coming from each connection, that will go to a board of LEDs and voltage dividers, the latter feeding into an Arduino Mega, which will monitor just about everything, and display information on a small LCD panel.<br />
<br />
I'm also planning to make a motorized heater control system (moving flaps to direct air from an Eberspacher) and the valve motors will be driven from relays on the Arduino.<br />
<br />
And there'll be a GPS/GSM security unit, and eventually a Linux board (probably Pandaboard) running navigation software. And later on, I hope, an electric motor to drive the extra axle I added. The Arduino Mega will route data between all these points, with its multiple hardware UARTS, as well as sending out information it converts locally from its own inputs.<br />
<br />
I expect the software will be a main loop that polls all UARTs for incoming information, all wiring lines for changes from their previous state, all heating valve position sensors for whether they've reached the right position, all pedals for information to send to the traction motor controller when fitted, and does the associated actions (for example, NMEA sentences from the GPS get forwarded to the Linux board for navigation and are also used to display the time on the LCD, heating switches update the desired positions for flap valves).<br />

=== Quadcopter ===<br />
<br />
Because everyone loves autonomous flying robots surrounded by razor sharp rotating propellers, right?<br />
<br />
A friend and I are working on a full self build of a quad rotor, we have the airframe, motors, props, speed controllers and an arduino with a combined gyro / accelerometer mounted. We just need to add batteries, wireless comms and software. I don't know whether I can persuade Si to come along to this meeting, he's not a member, but that's one of the things I'm playing with at the moment. I'm using the MPU6050 and PID libraries to manage the feedback between the accelerometer and the speed controllers in an attempt to get a stable hover mode, and the NRF24L01 as the radio module.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Bottle rocket telemetry ===<br />
<br />
The family makers are making bottle rockets, I thought it'd be cool to try to make a telemetry module that would tell them how high they'd gone and render a 3d trace of the trajectory using either Processing or WebGL. The main challenge here is to get the circuitry small enough and tough enough to be carried by the rockets and then survive the return to ground level! The second issue is power, I have a LiPo battery and charger so should just be a case of a 3.3v regulator but maybe it needs a boost converter, not really my area of expertise so I'd really like some help there.<br />
<br />
At the moment I'm interested in using an ATTiny85 (8 pin dip package MCU) as an Arduino, using the MPU6050 gyro / accelerometer and an XBee v2 radio - I'd use the NRF24 radio but I think it needs more pins than I have available on the ATTiny. Another option would be to use a rather more sophisticated Arduino pro mini, more pins means the NRF radio would be an option which is much cheaper than the XBee modules.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== I2C plant moisture sensors ===<br />
<br />
Program an ATTiny85 as an I2C slave, embedding it onto a circuit board etched to work as a capacitive moisture sensor. Use Arduino nano with ethernet shield as an I2C master to then monitor the moisture levels in my various outdoor plant pots and tweet when they're getting too dry.<br />

<br />
=== Breadboard prototype of a 1D Pong Game ===<br />
<br />
The idea is to prototype a simple 1D pong game (see [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgQg1DVY4Xc YouTube]) on Arduino or other microcontroller.<br />
<br />
Features:<br />
*Some kind of startup animation (similar to the YouTube video)<br />
*A scoreboard or something similar. Based maybe on a segmented display or LCD.<br />
*SOUNDS! :-)<br />
*Perhaps some different game modes, maybe "powerups" of some kind?<br />
<br />
Eventually I would like this to be the start of a '''MUCH''' larger version of the game (but that's for the future ;-))<br />

=== Self-levelling camera gimbal ===<br />
<br />
One popular use of quadcopters is aerial photography/videography, but for this you ideally need a stabilised camera mounting. It's relatively easy to fabricate a two-axis gimbal for a small camera like a GoPro, driven by servos, which can hold itself level using readings from a gyro/accelerometer board.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Barn door sky tracker ===<br />
* Goal: take long exposure photos of the sky.<br />
* Problem: the sky rotates over the course of a long exposure.<br />
* Solution: make a motorised mount which rotates your camera at the same rate.<br />
<br />
I'm aiming to build a simple "barn door" mount (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barn_door_tracker) to enable me to take long exposure sky photos. At its simplest this is two hinged pieces of wood connected by a threaded rod which you turn slowly to increase the angle at the hinge. I'd like to drive this with a stepper motor so it can be left running, and ideally let the Arduino do some of the maths to compensate for the changing geometry of the mount.<br />

<br />
=== Electricity monitor and TRIAC driver ===<br />
<br />
I need to control a large resistive heating load on AC with a TRIAC: whole cycle and half cycle burst fire with some supervisory decision making process to make it comply with the EMC directives. I also need to monitor the power delivered by integrating current and voltage over the waveform and integrating the lot. It would be useful to estimate the supply impedance and/or internal resistance of the load using the same hardware. A lot of this is similar to work done on the Open Energy Monitor by the Solar-PV folks trying to game the tax system - but unlike them I would like to meet the EMC directives...<br />

<br />
== Work ==<br />
Fuel burned to provide energy for domestic water heating accounts for over 5% of total UK CO2 emissions. Most of this water is used for personal washing and the amount of energy used is increasing as consumers wash more often, demand more luxurious showers, and increasingly utilise the bathroom for pleasure/leisure.<br />
<br />
Novel packages of existing techniques and technologies can yield 50-80% energy savings with better shower performance, saving 1-2% of UK CO2e emissions at 50% market penetration. We’re working to make them both practical and affordable at individual dwelling scale. They enable a bunch of smart features to modify behaviour and transform the user experience too. Thou shalt covet these and will save the world by indulging yourself.<br />
<br />
We were seed funded in June 2013 by the Climate-KIC at Imperial College and are actively looking for an exceedingly good industrial designer to join the team. Does being to showers as James Dyson is to vacuums tickle your fancy? Know somebody for whom it might? marko@cosic.org.uk please!<br />

=== @Makespace ===<br />
I've left a few of the tools on extended loan at Makespace (those that are either indestructible or too specialist for the tool-wrecking amateurs to have a use for...)<br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/catalog/product/view/id/2295/category/838/ Metal knock-out punches]<br />
Very useful for making large round holes in cars and metal project boxes. 1.4 mm mild steel / 2.5 mm alloy is about its limit; use common sense and plenty of lube!<br />

As used for water pumps/viscous fans for bearing retainer nuts. Where you'd normally knock "that stupid castle shaped nut" around with a chisel or metal punch these are the tools you're meant to use.<br />
<br />

These were expensive, so watch lockwiring videos online before using these and dont use them for anything else please. Chuck a few coins in the case (not Makespace box) to replace the wire/let me know if the spools are nearly empty so that I can reorder. Silently using up the last piece won't win you friends. ;-)<br />

M5 to M12 and 1/4"-20 to 1/2"-13. Chuck a few coins in the case (not Makespace box) to replace the inserts (20-40p each depending on size) and let me know if any are nearly empty so that I can reorder. If you break a tap buy a new one off eBay etc and replace please. Silently using up the last piece/breaking the tap won't win you friends. ;-)<br />

'''Sewing Machine'''<br />
Ultra basic Singer "Serenade" from LIDL. Looks a little like [http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4602222.htm this one] at Argos. I won't leave this in Makespace because I know what happens to "domestic" machines in schools and workplaces (short unhappy lives and never available working when you need them) but I'm happy to let people borrow it on a you-break-it-you-bought-it basis. (£80 new)<br />
<br />
'''Thule 3-bike rack'''<br />
Towball mount; 13 pin electrics.<br />
<br />
'''Trailer'''<br />
I've got a small trailer that lives in Cambridge CB4 and I'm happy for any makespace members to borrow it as/when required. <br />
<br />
The bed is 1750 mm long and 960 mm wide; 760 mm between the wheelboxes. Max 550 kg gross but the chassis is heavy so only ~250 kg legal payload. All the lights work (has 7-pin and 13-pin plugs) and it has the breakaway cable/jockey wheel too: <br />
<br />
[http://www.cosic.org.uk/MarkoStuff/misc/1-IMAG1206.jpg trailer pic]<br />
<br />
Useful for appliances, sofas and whatnot. The bed is only 6 mm ply, so please don't throw rubble into it (laying bricks/slabs in is fine) and if you carry something like a piano that is heavy and on castors please chock it up with wood to avoid damage. The sides are made of cheese too, so try not to rest heavy things on them whilst loading or pull them inwards with ratchet straps. You break it you fix it; it gets nicked whilst you're using it you buy another one etc. (please take the padlock with you when borrowing it!) <br />
<br />
It is legal to use the number plate from the back of your car o the trailer whilst you're towing, leaving none on the car. £7 buys a plate from eBay without the ID and V5 hassle you'll get at Halfords. If you wanted to leave my plate on there that's fine by me and though strictly speaking naughty I've never heard of people being hassled for having the wrong plate/marker pen plate on a tip-run trailer provided all the lights etc work: you'll hardly be setting any speed records!<br />
<br />
550 kg is light enough to be legal behind pretty much anything. Check the your car though (some are 500 kg max) and if you passed your test after 1997 make sure that the car you're towing with has a maximum gross weight under 2,950kg so that you're under 3,500kg gross train weight. (no Land-Rovers...)</div>Markocosichttp://wiki.makespace.org/SkillsKnowhowSkillsKnowhow2013-07-03T11:23:40Z<p>Markocosic: </p>

<br />
== About Me ==<br />
Name: Marko Cosic<br /><br />
Location: Cambridge<br /><br />
Contact: 07774 524 114 or marko@cosic.org.uk<br /><br />
<br />
== Work ==<br />
Fuel burned to provide energy for domestic water heating accounts for over 5% of total UK CO2 emissions. Most of this water is used for personal washing and the amount of energy used is increasing as consumers wash more often, demand more luxurious showers, and increasingly utilise the bathroom for pleasure/leisure.<br />
<br />
Novel packages of existing techniques and technologies can yield 50-80% energy savings with better shower performance, saving 1-2% of UK CO2e emissions at 50% market penetration. We’re working to make them both practical and affordable at individual dwelling scale. They enable a bunch of smart features to modify behaviour and transform the user experience too. Thou shalt covet these and will save the world by indulging yourself.<br />
<br />
We were seed funded in June 2013 by the Climate-KIC at Imperial College and are actively looking for a exceedingly good industrial designer to join the team. Does being to showers as James Dyson is to vacuums tickle your fancy? Know somebody for whom it might? marko@cosic.org.uk please!<br />
<br />
Previous employment at [http://uk.linkedin.com/in/markocosic http://uk.linkedin.com/in/markocosic]<br />
<br />
== Interests ==<br />
Energy, transport, agriculture and medicine - big ticket items rather than frivolities - tickle my interest most. I’m more excited by hardware than software and governance, though the latter two probably have the highest bang per buck these days!<br />
<br />
== Projects ==<br />
Energy and water efficient bathrooms @ Cambridge Heat Transfer Ltd<br />
<br />
Personal projects:<br />
[http://www.cosic.org.uk http://www.cosic.org.uk]]<br />
<br />
==Things I can help you with==<br />
Mechanical and systems engineering. Fabrication in metal and composites. Product design. Experimental equipment design. CAD/CAM. Most things car related.<br />
<br />
== Tools I can help you with==<br />
I'm a professional hacker so have lots of tools that you're welcome to borrow if you convince me you won't break them or break yourself using them: <br />
<br />
[http://wordpress.cosic.org.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/04-PC190593.jpg Lots of tools.]<br />
<br />
=== @Makespace ===<br />
I've left a few of the tools on extended loan at Makespace (those that are either indestructible or too specialist for the tool-wrecking amateurs to have a use for...)<br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/catalog/product/view/id/2295/category/838/ Metal knock-out punches]<br />
Very useful for making large round holes in cars and metal project boxes. 1.4 mm mild steel / 2.5 mm alloy is about its limit; use common sense and plenty of lube!<br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/ball-joint-service-kit-for-2wd-and-4wd-vehicles-4065.html C-frame press]<br />
Where you need to take the press to the job rather than the job to the press.<br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/hydraulic-wire-crimping-tool-66150.html Hydraulic crimper]<br />
Can be used for wire rope too. <br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/9-piece-hollow-punch-set-3838.html Leather/gasket punches]<br />
Don't use on anything more resilient than leather please.<br />
<br />
[http://hfreviews.com/item.php?id=5093 Hook-spanner/C-spanner set]<br />
As used for water pumps/viscous fans for bearing retainer nuts. Where you'd normally knock "that stupid castle shaped nut" around with a chisel or metal punch these are the tools you're meant to use.<br />
<br />
[http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/105wprosafetywiringkit.php Safety lockwire kit]<br />
These were expensive, so watch lockwiring videos online before using these and dont use them for anything else please. Chuck a few coins in the case (not Makespace box) to replace the wire/let me know if the spools are nearly empty so that I can reorder. Silently using up the last piece won't win you friends. ;-)<br />
[http://www.aircraftspruce.com/categories/aircraft_parts/ap/menus/ap/safetywire.html Replacement wire]<br />
<br />
[http://images.harborfreight.com/manuals/98000-98999/98873.pdf Helicoil kits in UNC]<br />
[http://images.harborfreight.com/manuals/98000-98999/98522.pdf Helicoil kits in Metric]<br />
M5 to M12 and 1/4"-20 to 1/2"-13. Chuck a few coins in the case (not Makespace box) to replace the inserts (20-40p each depending on size) and let me know if any are nearly empty so that I can reorder. If you break a tap buy a new one off eBay etc and replace please. Silently using up the last piece/breaking the tap won't win you friends. ;-)<br />
<br />

'''Sewing Machine'''<br />
Ultra basic Singer "Serenade" from LIDL. Looks a little like [http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4602222.htm this one] at Argos. I won't leave this in Makespace because I know what happens to "domestic" machines in schools and workplaces (short unhappy lives and never available working when you need them) but I'm happy to let people borrow it on a you-break-it-you-bought-it basis. (£80 new)<br />
<br />
'''Thule 3-bike rack'''<br />
Towball mount; 13 pin electrics.<br />
<br />
'''Trailer'''<br />
I've got a small trailer that lives in Cambridge CB4 and I'm happy for any makespace members to borrow it as/when required. <br />
<br />
The bed is 1750 mm long and 960 mm wide; 760 mm between the wheelboxes. Max 550 kg gross but the chassis is heavy so only ~250 kg legal payload. All the lights work (has 7-pin and 13-pin plugs) and it has the breakaway cable/jockey wheel too: <br />
<br />
[http://www.cosic.org.uk/MarkoStuff/misc/1-IMAG1206.jpg trailer pic]<br />
<br />
Useful for appliances, sofas and whatnot. The bed is only 6 mm ply, so please don't throw rubble into it (laying bricks/slabs in is fine) and if you carry something like a piano that is heavy and on castors please chock it up with wood to avoid damage. The sides are made of cheese too, so try not to rest heavy things on them whilst loading or pull them inwards with ratchet straps. You break it you fix it; it gets nicked whilst you're using it you buy another one etc. (please take the padlock with you when borrowing it!) <br />
<br />
It is legal to use the number plate from the back of your car o the trailer whilst you're towing, leaving none on the car. £7 buys a plate from eBay without the ID and V5 hassle you'll get at Halfords. If you wanted to leave my plate on there that's fine by me and though strictly speaking naughty I've never heard of people being hassled for having the wrong plate/marker pen plate on a tip-run trailer provided all the lights etc work: you'll hardly be setting any speed records!<br />
<br />
550 kg is light enough to be legal behind pretty much anything. Check the your car though (some are 500 kg max) and if you passed your test after 1997 make sure that the car you're towing with has a maximum gross weight under 2,950kg so that you're under 3,500kg gross train weight.

== Work ==<br />
Fuel burned to provide energy for domestic water heating accounts for over 5% of total UK CO2 emissions. Most of this water is used for personal washing and the amount of energy used is increasing as consumers wash more often, demand more luxurious showers, and increasingly utilise the bathroom for pleasure/leisure.<br />
<br />
Novel packages of existing techniques and technologies can yield 50-80% energy savings with better shower performance, saving 1-2% of UK CO2e emissions at 50% market penetration. We’re working to make them both practical and affordable at individual dwelling scale. They enable a bunch of smart features to modify behaviour and transform the user experience too. Thou shalt covet these and will save the world by indulging yourself.<br />
<br />
We were seed funded in June 2013 by the Climate-KIC at Imperial College and are actively looking for a exceedingly good industrial designer to join the team. Does being to showers as James Dyson is to vacuums tickle your fancy? Know somebody for whom it might? marko@cosic.org.uk please!<br />

<br />
=== @Makespace ===<br />
I've left a few of the tools on extended loan at Makespace (those that are either indestructible or too specialist for the tool-wrecking amateurs to have a use for...)<br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/catalog/product/view/id/2295/category/838/ Metal knock-out punches]<br />
Very useful for making large round holes in cars and metal project boxes. 1.4 mm mild steel / 2.5 mm alloy is about its limit; use common sense and plenty of lube!<br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/ball-joint-service-kit-for-2wd-and-4wd-vehicles-4065.html C-frame press]<br />
Where you need to take the press to the job rather than the job to the press.<br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/hydraulic-wire-crimping-tool-66150.html Hydraulic crimper]<br />
Can be used for wire rope too. <br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/9-piece-hollow-punch-set-3838.html Leather/gasket punches]<br />
Don't use on anything more resilient than leather please.<br />
<br />
[http://hfreviews.com/item.php?id=5093 Hook-spanner/C-spanner set]<br />
As used for water pumps/viscous fans for bearing retainer nuts. Where you'd normally knock "that stupid castle shaped nut" around with a chisel or metal punch these are the tools you're meant to use.<br />
<br />
[http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/105wprosafetywiringkit.php Safety lockwire kit]<br />
These were expensive, so watch lockwiring videos online before using these and dont use them for anything else please. Chuck a few coins in the case (not Makespace box) to replace the wire/let me know if the spools are nearly empty so that I can reorder. Silently using up the last piece won't win you friends. ;-)<br />

M5 to M12 and 1/4"-20 to 1/2"-13. Chuck a few coins in the case (not Makespace box) to replace the inserts (20-40p each depending on size) and let me know if any are nearly empty so that I can reorder. If you break a tap buy a new one off eBay etc and replace please. Silently using up the last piece/breaking the tap won't win you friends. ;-)<br />

The bed is 1750 mm long and 960 mm wide; 760 mm between the wheelboxes. Max 550 kg gross but the chassis is heavy so only ~250 kg legal payload. All the lights work (has 7-pin and 13-pin plugs) and it has the breakaway cable/jockey wheel too: <br />
<br />
[http://www.cosic.org.uk/MarkoStuff/misc/1-IMAG1206.jpg trailer pic]<br />
<br />
Useful for appliances, sofas and whatnot. The bed is only 6 mm ply, so please don't throw rubble into it (laying bricks/slabs in is fine) and if you carry something like a piano that is heavy and on castors please chock it up with wood to avoid damage. The sides are made of cheese too, so try not to rest heavy things on them whilst loading or pull them inwards with ratchet straps. You break it you fix it; it gets nicked whilst you're using it you buy another one etc. (please take the padlock with you when borrowing it!) <br />
<br />
It is legal to use the number plate from the back of your car o the trailer whilst you're towing, leaving none on the car. £7 buys a plate from eBay without the ID and V5 hassle you'll get at Halfords. If you wanted to leave my plate on there that's fine by me and though strictly speaking naughty I've never heard of people being hassled for having the wrong plate/marker pen plate on a tip-run trailer provided all the lights etc work: you'll hardly be setting any speed records!<br />
<br />
550 kg is light enough to be legal behind pretty much anything. Check the your car though (some are 500 kg max) and if you passed your test after 1997 make sure that the car you're towing with has a maximum gross weight under 2,950kg so that you're under 3,500kg gross train weight.

== Work ==<br />
Fuel burned to provide energy for domestic water heating accounts for over 5% of total UK CO2 emissions. Most of this water is used for personal washing and the amount of energy used is increasing as consumers wash more often, demand more luxurious showers, and increasingly utilise the bathroom for pleasure/leisure.<br />
<br />
Novel packages of existing techniques and technologies can yield 50-80% energy savings with better shower performance, saving 1-2% of UK CO2e emissions at 50% market penetration. We’re working to make them both practical and affordable at individual dwelling scale. They enable a bunch of smart features to modify behaviour and transform the user experience too. Thou shalt covet these and will save the world by indulging yourself.<br />
<br />
We were seed funded in June 2013 by the Climate-KIC at Imperial College and are actively looking for a exceedingly good industrial designer to join the team. Does being to showers as James Dyson is to vacuums tickle your fancy? Know somebody for whom it might? marko@cosic.org.uk please!<br />

<br />
=== @Makespace ===<br />
I've left a few of the tools on extended loan at Makespace (those that are either indestructible or too specialist for the tool-wrecking amateurs to have a use for...)<br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/catalog/product/view/id/2295/category/838/ Metal knock-out punches]<br />
Very useful for making large round holes in cars and metal project boxes. 1.4 mm mild steel / 2.5 mm alloy is about its limit; use common sense and plenty of lube!<br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/ball-joint-service-kit-for-2wd-and-4wd-vehicles-4065.html C-frame press]<br />
Where you need to take the press to the job rather than the job to the press.<br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/hydraulic-wire-crimping-tool-66150.html Hydraulic crimper]<br />
Can be used for wire rope too. <br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/9-piece-hollow-punch-set-3838.html Leather/gasket punches]<br />
Don't use on anything more resilient than leather please.<br />
<br />
[http://hfreviews.com/item.php?id=5093 Hook-spanner/C-spanner set]<br />
As used for water pumps/viscous fans for bearing retainer nuts. Where you'd normally knock "that stupid castle shaped nut" around with a chisel or metal punch these are the tools you're meant to use.<br />
<br />
[http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/105wprosafetywiringkit.php Safety lockwire kit]<br />
These were expensive, so watch lockwiring videos online before using these and dont use them for anything else please. Chuck a few coins in the case (not Makespace box) to replace the wire/let me know if the spools are nearly empty so that I can reorder. Silently using up the last piece won't win you friends. ;-)<br />

M5 to M12 and 1/4"-20 to 1/2"-13. Chuck a few coins in the case (not Makespace box) to replace the inserts (20-40p each depending on size) and let me know if any are nearly empty so that I can reorder. If you break a tap buy a new one off eBay etc and replace please. Silently using up the last piece/breaking the tap won't win you friends. ;-)<br />

I've left a few of the tools on extended loan at Makespace (those that are either indestructible or too specialist for the tool-wrecking amateurs to have a use for...)<br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/catalog/product/view/id/2295/category/838/ Metal knock-out punches]<br />
Very useful for making large round holes in cars and metal project boxes. 1.4 mm mild steel / 2.5 mm alloy is about its limit; use common sense and plenty of lube!<br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/ball-joint-service-kit-for-2wd-and-4wd-vehicles-4065.html C-frame press]<br />
Where you need to take the press to the job rather than the job to the press.<br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/hydraulic-wire-crimping-tool-66150.html Hydraulic crimper]<br />
Can be used for wire rope too. <br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/9-piece-hollow-punch-set-3838.html Leather/gasket punches]<br />
Don't use on anything more resilient than leather please.<br />
<br />
[http://hfreviews.com/item.php?id=5093 Hook-spanner/C-spanner set]<br />
As used for water pumps/viscous fans for bearing retainer nuts. Where you'd normally knock "that stupid castle shaped nut" around with a chisel or metal punch these are the tools you're meant to use.<br />
<br />
[http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/105wprosafetywiringkit.php Safety lockwire kit]<br />
These were expensive, so watch lockwiring videos online before using these and dont use them for anything else please. Chuck a few coins in the case (not Makespace box) to replace the wire/let me know if the spools are nearly empty so that I can reorder. Silently using up the last piece won't win you friends. ;-)<br />

M5 to M12 and 1/4"-20 to 1/2"-13. Chuck a few coins in the case (not Makespace box) to replace the inserts (20-40p each depending on size) and let me know if any are nearly empty so that I can reorder. If you break a tap buy a new one off eBay etc and replace please. Silently using up the last piece/breaking the tap won't win you friends. ;-)<br />

'''Thule 3-bike rack'''<br />
Towball mount; 13 pin electrics.<br />
<br />
'''Trailer'''<br />
I've got a small trailer that lives in Cambridge CB4 and I'm happy for any makespace members to borrow it as/when required. <br />
<br />
The bed is 1750 mm long and 960 mm wide; 760 mm between the wheelboxes. Max 550 kg gross but the chassis is heavy so only ~250 kg legal payload. All the lights work (has 7-pin and 13-pin plugs) and it has the breakaway cable/jockey wheel too: <br />
<br />
[http://www.cosic.org.uk/MarkoStuff/misc/1-IMAG1206.jpg trailer pic]<br />
<br />
Useful for appliances, sofas and whatnot. The bed is only 6 mm ply, so please don't throw rubble into it (laying bricks/slabs in is fine) and if you carry something like a piano that is heavy and on castors please chock it up with wood to avoid damage. The sides are made of cheese too, so try not to rest heavy things on them whilst loading or pull them inwards with ratchet straps. You break it you fix it; it gets nicked whilst you're using it you buy another one etc. (please take the padlock with you when borrowing it!) <br />
<br />
It is legal to use the number plate from the back of your car o the trailer whilst you're towing, leaving none on the car. £7 buys a plate from eBay without the ID and V5 hassle you'll get at Halfords. If you wanted to leave my plate on there that's fine by me and though strictly speaking naughty I've never heard of people being hassled for having the wrong plate/marker pen plate on a tip-run trailer provided all the lights etc work: you'll hardly be setting any speed records!<br />
<br />
550 kg is light enough to be legal behind pretty much anything. Check the your car though (some are 500 kg max) and if you passed your test after 1997 make sure that the car you're towing with has a maximum gross weight under 2,950kg so that you're under 3,500kg gross train weight.

<br />
== Work ==<br />
Fuel burned to provide energy for domestic water heating accounts for over 5% of total UK CO2 emissions. Most of this water is used for personal washing and the amount of energy used is increasing as consumers wash more often, demand more luxurious showers, and increasingly utilise the bathroom for pleasure/leisure.<br />
<br />
Novel packages of existing techniques and technologies can yield 50-80% energy savings with better shower performance, saving 1-2% of UK CO2e emissions at 50% market penetration. We’re working to make them both practical and affordable at individual dwelling scale. They enable a bunch of smart features to modify behaviour and transform the user experience too. Thou shalt covet these and will save the world by indulging yourself.<br />
<br />
We were seed funded in June 2013 by the Climate-KIC at Imperial College and are actively looking for a exceedingly good industrial designer to join the team. Does being to showers as James Dyson is to vacuums tickle your fancy? Know somebody for whom it might? marko@cosic.org.uk please!<br />

<br />
Trailer.<br />
I've got a small trailer that lives in Cambridge CB4 and I'm happy for any makespace members to borrow it as/when required. <br />
<br />
The bed is 1750 mm long and 960 mm wide; 760 mm between the wheelboxes. Max 550 kg gross but the chassis is heavy so only ~250 kg legal payload. All the lights work (has 7-pin and 13-pin plugs) and it has the breakaway cable/jockey wheel too: <br />
<br />
[http://www.cosic.org.uk/MarkoStuff/misc/1-IMAG1206.jpg trailer pic]<br />
<br />
Useful for appliances, sofas and whatnot. The bed is only 6 mm ply, so please don't throw rubble into it (laying bricks/slabs in is fine) and if you carry something like a piano that is heavy and on castors please chock it up with wood to avoid damage. The sides are made of cheese too, so try not to rest heavy things on them whilst loading or pull them inwards with ratchet straps. You break it you fix it; it gets nicked whilst you're using it you buy another one etc. (please take the padlock with you when borrowing it!) <br />
<br />
It is legal to use the number plate from the back of your car o the trailer whilst you're towing, leaving none on the car. £7 buys a plate from eBay without the ID and V5 hassle you'll get at Halfords. If you wanted to leave my plate on there that's fine by me and though strictly speaking naughty I've never heard of people being hassled for having the wrong plate/marker pen plate on a tip-run trailer provided all the lights etc work: you'll hardly be setting any speed records!<br />
<br />
550 kg is light enough to be legal behind pretty much anything. Check the your car though (some are 500 kg max) and if you passed your test after 1997 make sure that the car you're towing with has a maximum gross weight under 2,950kg so that you're under 3,500kg gross train weight.

Contact: 07774 524 114 or marko@cosic.org.uk<br /><br />
<br />
== Work ==<br />
Fuel burned to provide energy for domestic water heating accounts for over 5% of total UK CO2 emissions. Most of this water is used for personal washing and the amount of energy used is increasing as consumers wash more often, demand more luxurious showers, and increasingly utilise the bathroom for pleasure/leisure.<br />
<br />
Novel packages of existing techniques and technologies can yield 50-80% energy savings with better shower performance, saving 1-2% of UK CO2e emissions at 50% market penetration. We’re working to make them both practical and affordable at individual dwelling scale. They enable a bunch of smart features to modify behaviour and transform the user experience too. Thou shalt covet these and will save the world by indulging yourself.<br />
<br />
We were seed funded in June 2013 by the Climate-KIC at Imperial College and are actively looking for a exceedingly good industrial designer to join the team. Does being to showers as James Dyson is to vacuums tickle your fancy? Know somebody for whom it might? marko@cosic.org.uk please!<br />

<br />
=== @Makespace ===<br />
I've left a few of the tools on extended loan at Makespace (those that are either indestructible or too specialist for the tool-wrecking amateurs to have a use for...)<br />
<br />
Metal knock-out punches: [http://www.harborfreight.com/catalog/product/view/id/2295/category/838/]<br />
Very useful for making large round holes in cars and metal project boxes. 1.4 mm mild steel / 2.5 mm alloy is about its limit; use common sense and plenty of lube!<br />
<br />
C-frame press: [http://www.harborfreight.com/ball-joint-service-kit-for-2wd-and-4wd-vehicles-4065.html]<br />
Where you need to take the press to the job rather than the job to the press.<br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/hydraulic-wire-crimping-tool-66150.html Hydraulic crimper]<br />
Can be used for wire rope too. <br />
<br />
Leather/gasket punches:<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/9-piece-hollow-punch-set-3838.html]<br />
Don't use on anything more resilient than leather please.<br />
<br />
Hook-spanner/C-spanner set:<br />
[http://hfreviews.com/item.php?id=5093]<br />
As used for water pumps/viscous fans for bearing retainer nuts. Where you'd normally knock "that stupid castle shaped nut" around with a chisel or metal punch these are the tools you're meant to use.<br />
<br />
Safety lockwire kit:<br />
[http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/105wprosafetywiringkit.php]<br />
These were expensive, so watch lockwiring videos online before using these and dont use them for anything else please.<br />
<br />
Chuck a few coins in the case (not Makespace box) to replace the wire/let me know if the spools are nearly empty so that I can reorder. Silently using up the last piece won't win you friends. ;-)<br />

M5 to M12 and 1/4"-20 to 1/2"-13. Chuck a few coins in the case (not Makespace box) to replace the inserts (20-40p each depending on size) and let me know if any are nearly empty so that I can reorder. If you break a tap buy a new one off eBay etc and replace please. Silently using up the last piece/breaking the tap won't win you friends. ;-)<br />

Check the your car though (some are 500 kg max) and if you passed your test after 1997 make sure that the car you're towing with has a maximum gross weight under 2,950kg so that you're under 3,500kg gross train weight.

== Work ==<br />
Fuel burned to provide energy for domestic water heating accounts for over 5% of total UK CO2 emissions. Most of this water is used for personal washing and the amount of energy used is increasing as consumers wash more often, demand more luxurious showers, and increasingly utilise the bathroom for pleasure/leisure.<br />
<br />
Novel packages of existing techniques and technologies can yield 50-80% energy savings with better shower performance, saving 1-2% of UK CO2e emissions at 50% market penetration. We’re working to make them both practical and affordable at individual dwelling scale. They enable a bunch of smart features to modify behaviour and transform the user experience too. Thou shalt covet these and will save the world by indulging yourself.<br />
<br />
We were seed funded in June 2013 by the Climate-KIC at Imperial College and are actively looking for a exceedingly good industrial designer to join the team. Does being to showers as James Dyson is to vacuums tickle your fancy? Know somebody for whom it might? marko@cosic.org.uk please!<br />

=== @Makespace ===<br />
I've left a few of the tools that are too specialist for the tool-wrecking hobbyists to have a use for, or those that are pretty indestructible, at Makespace:<br />
<br />
Metal knock-out punches: [http://www.harborfreight.com/catalog/product/view/id/2295/category/838/]<br />
Very useful for making large round holes in cars and metal project boxes. 1.4 mm mild steel / 2.5 mm alloy is about its limit; use common sense and plenty of lube!<br />
<br />
C-frame press: [http://www.harborfreight.com/ball-joint-service-kit-for-2wd-and-4wd-vehicles-4065.html]<br />
Where you need to take the press to the job rather than the job to the press.<br />
<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/hydraulic-wire-crimping-tool-66150.html Hydraulic crimper]<br />
Can be used for wire rope too. <br />
<br />
Leather/gasket punches:<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/9-piece-hollow-punch-set-3838.html]<br />
Don't use on anything more resilient than leather please.<br />
<br />
Hook-spanner/C-spanner set:<br />
[http://hfreviews.com/item.php?id=5093]<br />
As used for water pumps/viscous fans for bearing retainer nuts. Where you'd normally knock "that stupid castle shaped nut" around with a chisel or metal punch these are the tools you're meant to use.<br />
<br />
Safety lockwire kit:<br />
[http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/105wprosafetywiringkit.php]<br />
These were expensive, so watch lockwiring videos online before using these and dont use them for anything else please.<br />
<br />
Chuck a few coins in the case (not Makespace box) to replace the wire/let me know if the spools are nearly empty so that I can reorder. Silently using up the last piece won't win you friends. ;-)<br />

M5 to M12 and 1/4"-20 to 1/2"-13. Chuck a few coins in the case (not Makespace box) to replace the inserts (20-40p each depending on size) and let me know if any are nearly empty so that I can reorder. If you break a tap buy a new one off eBay etc and replace please. Silently using up the last piece/breaking the tap won't win you friends. ;-)<br />

'''Miscellaneous Miscellaneous'''<br />
<br />
Thule 3-bike rack.<br />
Towball mount; 13 pin electrics.<br />
<br />
Trailer.<br />
I've got a small trailer that lives in Cambridge CB4 and I'm happy for any makespace members to borrow it as/when required. <br />
<br />
The bed is 1750 mm long and 960 mm wide; 760 mm between the wheelboxes. Max 550 kg gross but the chassis is heavy so only ~250 kg legal payload. All the lights work (has 7-pin and 13-pin plugs) and it has the breakaway cable/jockey wheel too: <br />
<br />
[http://www.cosic.org.uk/MarkoStuff/misc/1-IMAG1206.jpg trailer pic]<br />
<br />
Useful for appliances, sofas and whatnot. The bed is only 6 mm ply, so please don't throw rubble into it (laying bricks/slabs in is fine) and if you carry something like a piano that is heavy and on castors please chock it up with wood to avoid damage. The sides are made of cheese too, so try not to rest heavy things on them whilst loading or pull them inwards with ratchet straps. You break it you fix it; it gets nicked whilst you're using it you buy another one etc. (please take the padlock with you when borrowing it!) <br />
<br />
It is legal to use the number plate from the back of your car o the trailer whilst you're towing, leaving none on the car. £7 buys a plate from eBay without the ID and V5 hassle you'll get at Halfords. If you wanted to leave my plate on there that's fine by me and though strictly speaking naughty I've never heard of people being hassled for having the wrong plate/marker pen plate on a tip-run trailer provided all the lights etc work: you'll hardly be setting any speed records!<br />
<br />
550 kg is light enough to be legal behind pretty much anything. Check the your car though (some are 500 kg max) and if you passed your test after 1997 make sure that the car you're towing with has a maximum gross weight under 2,950kg so that you're under 3,500kg gross train weight.

<br />
Thule 3-bike rack.<br />
Towball mount; 13 pin electrics.<br />
<br />
Trailer.<br />
I've got a small trailer that lives in Cambridge CB4 and I'm happy for any makespace members to borrow it as/when required. <br />
<br />
The bed is 1750 mm long and 960 mm wide; 760 mm between the wheelboxes. Max 550 kg gross but the chassis is heavy so only ~250 kg legal payload. All the lights work (has 7-pin and 13-pin plugs) and it has the breakaway cable/jockey wheel too: <br />
<br />
[http://www.cosic.org.uk/MarkoStuff/misc/1-IMAG1206.jpg trailer pic]<br />
<br />
Useful for appliances, sofas and whatnot. The bed is only 6 mm ply, so please don't throw rubble into it (laying bricks/slabs in is fine) and if you carry something like a piano that is heavy and on castors please chock it up with wood to avoid damage. The sides are made of cheese too, so try not to rest heavy things on them whilst loading or pull them inwards with ratchet straps. You break it you fix it; it gets nicked whilst you're using it you buy another one etc. (please take the padlock with you when borrowing it!) <br />
<br />
It is legal to use the number plate from the back of your car o the trailer whilst you're towing, leaving none on the car. £7 buys a plate from eBay without the ID and V5 hassle you'll get at Halfords. If you wanted to leave my plate on there that's fine by me and though strictly speaking naughty I've never heard of people being hassled for having the wrong plate/marker pen plate on a tip-run trailer provided all the lights etc work: you'll hardly be setting any speed records!<br />
<br />
550 kg is light enough to be legal behind pretty much anything. Check the your car though (some are 500 kg max) and if you passed your test after 1997 make sure that the car you're towing with has a maximum gross weight under 2,950kg so that you're under 3,500kg gross train weight.

== About Me ==<br />
Name: Marko Cosic<br /><br />

<br />
== Work ==<br />
Fuel burned to provide energy for domestic water heating accounts for over 5% of total UK CO2 emissions. Most of this water is used for personal washing and the amount of energy used is increasing as consumers wash more often, demand more luxurious showers, and increasingly utilise the bathroom for pleasure/leisure.<br />
<br />
Novel packages of existing techniques and technologies can yield 50-80% energy savings with better shower performance, saving 1-2% of UK CO2e emissions at 50% market penetration. We’re working to make them both practical and affordable at individual dwelling scale.<br />
<br />
They enable a bunch of smart features to modify behaviour and transform the user experience too. Thou shalt covet these and will save the world by indulging yourself.<br />
<br />
We were seed funded in June 2013 by the Climate-KIC at Imperial College and are actively looking for a exceedingly good industrial designer to join the team. Does being to showers as James Dyson is to vacuums tickle your fancy? Know somebody for whom it might? marko@cosic.org.uk please!<br />

<br />
Metal knock-out punches: [http://www.harborfreight.com/catalog/product/view/id/2295/category/838/]<br />
Very useful for making large round holes in cars and metal project boxes. 1.4 mm mild steel / 2.5 mm alloy is about its limit; use common sense and plenty of lube!<br />
<br />
C-frame press: [http://www.harborfreight.com/ball-joint-service-kit-for-2wd-and-4wd-vehicles-4065.html]<br />
Where you need to take the press to the job rather than the job to the press.<br />
<br />

Trailer.<br />
I've got a small trailer that lives in Cambridge CB4 and I'm happy for any makespace members to borrow it as/when required. <br />
<br />
The bed is 1750 mm long and 960 mm wide; 760 mm between the wheelboxes. Max 550 kg gross but the chassis is heavy so only ~250 kg legal payload. All the lights work (has 7-pin and 13-pin plugs) and it has the breakaway cable/jockey wheel too: <br />
<br />
[http://www.cosic.org.uk/MarkoStuff/misc/1-IMAG1206.jpg trailer pic]<br />
<br />
Useful for appliances, sofas and whatnot. The bed is only 6 mm ply, so please don't throw rubble into it (laying bricks/slabs in is fine) and if you carry something like a piano that is heavy and on castors please chock it up with wood to avoid damage. The sides are made of cheese too, so try not to rest heavy things on them whilst loading or pull them inwards with ratchet straps. You break it you fix it; it gets nicked whilst you're using it you buy another one etc. (please take the padlock with you when borrowing it!) <br />
<br />
It is legal to use the number plate from the back of your car o the trailer whilst you're towing, leaving none on the car. £7 buys a plate from eBay without the ID and V5 hassle you'll get at Halfords. If you wanted to leave my plate on there that's fine by me and though strictly speaking naughty I've never heard of people being hassled for having the wrong plate/marker pen plate on a tip-run trailer provided all the lights etc work: you'll hardly be setting any speed records!<br />
<br />
550 kg is light enough to be legal behind pretty much anything. Check the your car though (some are 500 kg max) and if you passed your test after 1997 make sure that the car you're towing with has a maximum gross weight under 2,950kg so that you're under 3,500kg gross train weight.

I've left a few of the tools that are too specialist for the tool-wrecking hobbyists to have a use for, or those that are pretty indestructible, at Makespace:<br />
<br />
Metal knock-out punches:<br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/catalog/product/view/id/2295/category/838/]<br />
Very useful for making large round holes in cars and metal project boxes. 1.4 mm mild steel / 2.5 mm alloy is about its limit; use common sense and plenty of lube!<br />
<br />
C-frame press: <br />
[http://www.harborfreight.com/ball-joint-service-kit-for-2wd-and-4wd-vehicles-4065.html]<br />

<br />
Safety lockwire kit:<br />

<br />
Chuck a few coins in the case (not Makespace box) to replace the wire/let me know if the spools are nearly empty so that I can reorder. Silently using up the last piece won't win you friends. ;-)<br />

Trailer.<br />
I've got a small trailer that lives in Cambridge CB4 and I'm happy for any makespace members to borrow it as/when required. <br />
<br />
The bed is 1750 mm long and 960 mm wide; 760 mm between the wheelboxes. Max 550 kg gross but the chassis is heavy so only ~250 kg legal payload. All the lights work (has 7-pin and 13-pin plugs) and it has the breakaway cable/jockey wheel too: <br />
<br />
[http://www.cosic.org.uk/MarkoStuff/misc/1-IMAG1206.jpg trailer pic]<br />
<br />
Useful for appliances, sofas and whatnot. The bed is only 6 mm ply, so please don't throw rubble into it (laying bricks/slabs in is fine) and if you carry something like a piano that is heavy and on castors please chock it up with wood to avoid damage. The sides are made of cheese too, so try not to rest heavy things on them whilst loading or pull them inwards with ratchet straps. You break it you fix it; it gets nicked whilst you're using it you buy another one etc. (please take the padlock with you when borrowing it!) <br />
<br />
It is legal to use the number plate from the back of your car o the trailer whilst you're towing, leaving none on the car. £7 buys a plate from eBay without the ID and V5 hassle you'll get at Halfords. If you wanted to leave my plate on there that's fine by me and though strictly speaking naughty I've never heard of people being hassled for having the wrong plate/marker pen plate on a tip-run trailer provided all the lights etc work: you'll hardly be setting any speed records!<br />
<br />
550 kg is light enough to be legal behind pretty much anything. Check the your car though (some are 500 kg max) and if you passed your test after 1997 make sure that the car you're towing with has a maximum gross weight under 2,950kg so that you're under 3,500kg gross train weight. (no Land-Rovers...) <br />

<div>A collection of everything that is and could be makespace:<br />
<br />
= Kit Installed =<br />
<br />
* [[Infrastructure]]<br />
* [[Equipment]]<br />
<br />
= Kit Proposals =<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
* We should consider what things should be brought new, second hand or fabricated ourselves using existing kit.<br />
* When thinking about buying or making kit, we need to consider [[The Real Cost of Equipment]] and take that in to account<br />
* For basic makespace infrastructure, some items are collected on [[Kit wishlist: basic infrastructure budget]]<br />
<br />
=== Building Infrastructure ===<br />
<br />
=== Main Space ===<br />
<br />
* [[Soldering_Stations|Soldering Stations]]<br />
* Mirror at the First Aid station (for removal of eyelashes or otherwise from eyes without having to navigate to the toilets)<br />
<br />
=== Workshop ===<br />
<br />
* [[Laser_Cutter|Large Laser Cutter]]<br />
* [[CNC_Router|Large CNC Router]]<br />
* [[CNC_Milling_Machine|CNC Milling Machine]]<br />
<br />
* [[Lathe]]<br />
* [[Milling_Machine|Milling Machine]]<br />

<br />
= Kit Wishlist =<br />
<br />
We can't guarantee when or if we'll get any of this kit, but if there's something you'd like, let us know here. You can also help us prioritise what to get by creating and voting over at http://makespace.uservoice.com/forums/179819-kit-list<br />
<br />
<br />
===Woodwork/metalwork===<br />
<br />
* Aluminium forming (because local providers aren't very good)<br />
* A big sturdy workbench with a vice<br />
* Hacksaws and files<br />
* A mini drilling/milling machine, for example http://www.chestermachinetools.com/Products/Product.aspx?productID=500 for making PCBs and light wood and metal work. {broken link - 3/11/2012 - roger)<br />
<br />
* Dremel/rotary tool - many brands available; [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JyTf1tJXXo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JyTf1tJXXo] is a helpful comparison of Proxxon and Dremel mini tools and drill stands. There's a decent Axminster model for £141: http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-axminster-heavy-duty-flexible-drive-unit-prod20091/<br />
<br />
* a small manual lathe eg http://www.chestermachinetools.com/products/detail/3 plus lathe tools and a bench grinder to sharpen them.<br />
{Chester appear to have re-organised the website <strike>so this link is broken</strike> {MB - link reestablished, please check it is the correct model!} }<br />
I assume something like the Conquest Super is what you meant. Also take the 4-way tool-carrier off and throw it away, fit a quick-change toolpost and use indexable carbide tip tooling, grinding HSS lathe tools is a special skill. (roger)<br />
Base price for a Conquest Lathe Super Metric, quick-change toolpost, 5pc carbide tools and drill chuck is £580 (incl vat but not incl delivery)<br />
<br />
* A lathe manual or CNC which can cut steel comfortably, so with coolant and colchester studentish sized with digital readout<br />
<br />
* Any decent bench drillpress, with drills, holding vice, etc. Maybe a D16 from here: http://www.chestermachinetools.com/products/detail/323 for £230+vat+shipping, plus a drill vice.<br />
<br />
* A floor standing pillar drill<br />
<br />
* A CNC mill conversion just like http://www.jarkman.co.uk/catalog/cnc/taigcnc.htm Good for PCBs and a lot else. Plus cutters and workholding bits. It will need its own PC, too. Also see http://www.jarkman.co.uk/catalog/cnc/<br />
Parts for that cost him around £1500 - plus some modest assembly time, obviously. <br />
<br />
* If possible a real mill with some kind of cnc conversion with low speed settings or just a digital readout<br />
<br />
* A bandsaw that will run horizontal or vertical (but mostly horizontal, for chopping the ends off bars) eg http://www.chesteruk.net/store/hv128_bandsaw.htm<br />
* another option for a chopoff saw is a circular mitre saw eg: http://www.screwfix.com/p/evolution-rage-3-255mm-compound-sliding-mitre-saw-230v/65730 though possibly something a bit more robust. Then you could get a conventional bandsaw<br />
<br />

** pliers: Cookson 5 Piece,115mm Pliers Set (£31.15); Ring Bending Pliers, Cookson Value Range (£4.91) 5.5"/ 140mm Maun Flat Pliers Parallel Action (£18.65); Straight 7"/17.5cm Shears (£10.45); Tweezer set (£18.80)<br />
** soldering: Hand Torch (£20.00); Magnesia Soldering Block (£6.35); Soldering Sheet 300mm X 300mm X 9mm (£6.50); Picklean Safe Pickling Powder 150g (£5.41)<br />
** marking out: 6" Ruler (£3.40); Standard Steel Scriber (£4.10); centre punch (£5.00); digital calipers (£30.24); 3" square (£8.75)<br />
** magnification: Optivisor 2.0x No4 (£38.00); Optivisor 2.75x No7 (£38.00)<br />
** flexible shaft tools: Set Of 20 Drills 0.3-1.6mm (£13.30); Polishing Kit No 2 (£43.45)<br />
Total: £553.08 incl vat and p&p from cooksongold.com. This plus a decent flexible shaft drill lets one do quite a lot, and many items are general-purpose<br />

<br />
* G-clamps in various sizes (ordered on eBay --- [[User:JCGS|JCGS]] 12:10, 30 November 2012 (UTC))<br />
<br />
===Electronics/PCB tools===<br />
* Temperature-controlled soldering station(s)<br />
* Toaster oven (for reflow soldering)<br />

* spectrum analyser<br />
* ESD handling equipment, eg. anti-static mats, wrist-strap, earth points, tester<br />
* Small CNC milling machine, desktop size for cutting PCBs. <br />
<br />
NB. PCB etching baths and etch-resist are probably unnecessary because the milling machines would allow PCBs to be milled instead of etched.<br />
<br />
===Printing===<br />
* A3 postscript laser printer<br />
* print on demand POD system<br />
* vandercook proofpree with type - for posters etc<br />

<br />
=== Welding ===<br />
<br />
Welding is something we'll definitely need to talk to the landlord about - they've flagged up that the additional fire risk would mean we need to talk about fire barriers etc and can't go ahead without checking with them first. For now, we will not consider welding until Makespace is successfully up and running, at which point we may re-approach the university on this subject. <br />
<br />
* Arc welder (a bit yuk)<br />
* MIG welder (cheap and easy to use)<br />
* TTG welder (suitable for aluminium)<br />
* Welder misc: gas (eg BOC) + cage + bolt to wall, wire, tips, gloves, apron, head shields, lightproof/fireproof curtained area to protect other workers<br />
<br />
<br />
===Safety equipment===<br />
<br />
This should be considered as part of each equipment or area setup, rather as standalone<br />
<br />
* Safety glasses<br />
* Kevlar gloves for cutting<br />
* Nitrile gloves for handling chemicals<br />
* Lab coats to keep chemicals/paint off clothes & skin<br />
<br />
=== Air Tools ===<br />
<br />
Can we use the metal air-lines that are already in place?<br />
* No, we do not plan to use air tools or the air-lines that are in place. There is no compressor, they are noisy, and the convenience/simplicity/consistency of electric tools is our choice. We have decided to leave the lines in for now, but may remove them in time.<br />
<br />
Compressor/air for plasma and other airtools<br />
* Cutting/drilling/polishing airtools<br />
<br />
<br />
===Bio work===<br />
<br />
We have no plans at present to support work with recombinant DNA or other bio work :) <br />
<br />
===Flameworking===<br />
If we want to be able to make borosilicate glass components at Makespace, we'll need at least the following:<br />
<br />
* MAPP gas torch<br />
* MAPP gas for torch<br />
* Torch holder with metal or ceramic heatproof bench plate for rolling<br />
* Shears<br />
* Carbon paddle<br />
<br />
===AV kit===<br />
What about providing Audio Visual equipment for creating audio-visual experiences, interactive or not.<br />
This can be combined with workshops in animation, film-making, special effects, synthesisers, computer graphics, etc.<br />
<br />
Equipment might include: a projector screen (or white wall), a relatively good quality, high-resolution digital projector, amplifier, speakers (with good subwoofer.) Also software for animation, computer graphics, audio synthesis, video editing. Sensors for interactive experience: camera, motion sensors.<br />
<br />
One idea is to teach 3D modelling of a character which can be part of a game/video, and also be printed on the 3D printer.<br />
<br />
===Materials work===<br />
<br />
For development of novel materials or layers, or devices such as solar panels<br />
* Fume hood or cabinet<br />
<br />
=== Other ===<br />
<br />
* Lego (useful for prototyping shapes as well as for fun)<br />
<br />
=== Software tools ===<br />

===The FabLab kit===<br />
<br />
<br />
Fab Labs share core capabilities, so that people and projects can be shared across them. This currently includes:<br />
# A computer-controlled lasercutter, for press-fit assembly of 3D structures from 2D parts <br />
# A larger (4'x8') numerically-controlled milling machine, for making furniture- (and house-) sized parts <br />
# A vinylcutter, to produce signs, printing masks, flexible circuits, and antennas <br />
# A precision (micron resolution) milling machine to make three-dimensional moulds and surface-mounted circuit boards <br />
# Electronics assembly <br />
# Programming tools for low-cost high-speed embedded processors <br />
# Sewing and embroidery equipment <br />
# You can read more about how Fab Labs started by following this link. www.cba.mit.edu.<br />
<br />
There is also a wealth of know-how on Fab Lab equipment and projects.<br />
