• DIY power generation

    I normally don’t post about local events, because I have readers from all the country – and the globe – but this event is too cool not to mention. This weekend in Toronto, Subtle Technologies is having a workshop on how to build your own power generator out of, well, trash.  The amount of power generated will not be enough to power your entire home, but it will be sufficient to power a small gadget like an ipod or cell phone.  Personally, I’ve wanted to create something like this for a while but didn’t know how to start. This little workshop is uber practical, because you walk out the door with your own little power generator, not to mention the skills to build on and share this craft with others. Here are the details of this cool project:

    “This workshop will address that problem by teaching participants to make their own electricity using generators built from trash. The generators will run off simple, non-polluting, sources, such as waste heat and wind.”

    Junk to Juice: DIY power generation on the cheap
    This two-afternoon workshop (May 29 and 30) will take a pile of discarded electronics and other junk, and every participant will build their own mini wind-powered generator.

    Tickets $100 or $50 for student / unwaged
