Markus Kayser - Solar Sinter Project

[gaekaas]

Hilarious caricature of both sintering and experimenting, a real amusement to watch :)

Very good!

[50pushups]

Maybe in the future all our sandy blobs will be made this way

[kayaking4autism]

I'm trying to do something similar,, when I started my own project /watch?v=BAWLjqMiulo I opted for putting mirrors onto a skydish,, but the problem is my design channels concentrated light energy ACROSS and not DOWN unlike this one. It never occurred to me to use a giant magnifying lens to achieve this truly "miracle device". My Kayser sir, I take my hat off and bow to you, your invention may yet save the world!

[ashwinnarayanVlog]

I wonder why he drags the heavy stuff across the sand at 0:50. Wouldn't it be simpler to just move the camera?

[Fwuzeem]

So we can make cities in the Sahara Dessert now? Tschyeahhh!

[Fylgum]

Evolve this a bit more, and we could send robot 3d printers up to the moon to make entire cities/habitats.

[thushaa]

Truly amazing*

[thushaa]

Wow try

[jambi99]

All that equipment , all that energy and time for that ? Trivial world...

[noahhaverkamp]

@jambi99 You don't enjoy art?

[giofrasa]

The sun........ amazing !!

[Anothercoilgun]

The feeling o pioneering is coursing through my vanes watching this. Long lost feeling I thought vanished from this planet.

[sebsignedup]

Truly great.

[1isaacmusic]

I could see NASA using this kind of concept on Mars. With modifications that allow filtering for certain materials, etc, this could be quite valuable in space exploration/colonizations.

[kayaking4autism]

@1isaacmusic Yes but Mars is farther away and you would need a larger fresnel lens to achieve the same results here on Earth. I think this device would work amazingly if you could get it to Shackleton crater where the sun always shines,, you would need to put a lot of heatsinks all over all the motors to stop them overheating!

[heavym3tal]

1) Drive to location using SUV

2) Setup solar powered project

3) Drive away in SUV.

lol

[B34rl0rd]

Amazing idea! Imagine all that can be achieved with this idea if it is really exploited. Good luck with your project.

[GuanoLad]

I wonder why he dragged it to that spot. What was wrong with plonking it any old place?

[visualeffectschannel]

@GuanoLad blending the machine in with the scenery :)

[TheRealMaxion]

@GuanoLad To show that it wasn't hooked up to anything, and that spot had good supply of the stuff he needed to do it (sand and sunlight).

[IANtheROACH]

the suns most concentrated in the desert

[314jake]

beautiful piece of film.

[OwenBickers]

@jhayarrre Hmm, Sounds familiar...

Sand + Heat = glass

Real life!

[themrfj]

This works better than I expected.

[Recraftguy]

@jhayarrre ¬.¬ sand becomes glass when heated in real life.

[pasha2220]

вобщем какая то новая поебень

[yoaxello]

Seriously awesome! RepRap, eat your heart out!

[eckiux3]

something really NEW

[ThermalHD]

Maybe the egyptians had a huge solar printer to make the pyramids ^^

[Domihork]

What would he do, if a sand storm came? =D

[henrikmk]

@Domihork Print a glass shelter. :-)

[MartinKremo]

perfect idea

[Dekartdek]

poorly edited presentation.

as far as I know, was the editor NOT the real editor of the film. Wonder, what else might be stolen or who is falsly taking all the credit for some innovations here...

[koalabear2]

@Dekartdek Same people in the credits, whats your point?

[washragjoe]

Wow.... That's gonna lead to some awesome stuff!

[rich7991]

Simply awesome!

[CaptainPanick]

they forgot their camera at the end

[gerwazjana]

@CaptainPanick they can print a new one

[kayaking4autism]

@gerwazjana No. 3D printers can only print one type of material at a time. Different temperatures of melting point. How can you print motors? Even if you could print the iron, you still need to magnetize it. Even if you could print the copper, how do you print the next layer of insulation over the copper? If you print the copper over insulation you melt the insulation, if you print iron into copper wire, you melt the wire. If you print silicon chips, you'll burn the board

[aleeeno]

Skip to 4:30 to see the Sand Printer

[silversobe]

Amazing 

[electrodacus]

Simple design really great idea.

[musicmonsta97]

that is one of the coolest things i've ever seen!!!!!!!! :O :)

[cinmarmar]

incredible
