#Watch A 3-D Printer Make A Pizza#This summer we heard about a 3-D printer for food developed with NASA funding
Now#lo and behold the printer has shown up at SXSW Eco and we caught a short demonstration from the makers a group from#Systems and Materials Research Corporation.
The printer#served up a pie made with dough#ketchup and cream cheese(?.The printer is still in its earliest stages so the creators haven't quite perfected the process.
Instead of making a classic slice they're showing off the proper levels of pizza viscosity with similar ingredients:
the printer lays down a layer of dough from a stock of simple non-perishable ingredients then layers the sauce (ketchup) and cheese (cream cheese) on top.
send up a printer instead of boxes of food and you save space plus you give the astronauts a home-cooked meal.
Here you can see the printer laying down the cheese layer and one of the printer technicians being directed to add more pressure.

So basically a Ram Air (Oxygen) induction that is super cooled used to ignite/burn rocket/hydrogen fuel.
I am guessing that due to the need for Ram Air at mach 5. 2 that this thing has to stop engine burn at orbit (due to lack of oxygen)
and then dive back into the atmosphere to reach Ram Air induction speed again? Or am I missing something?
Maybe just takeoff requires Ram and not return? Do not try and bend the spoon.
The Ram air stuff does not work at slow speeds. 3. The diagram shows a LOX pump.

#The Rise Of Open source Hardware So in the summer of 2012 Petrone (then an engineer at a Portland startup) launched a site where flexible matrix boards
Almost immediately Tindie began attracting favorable attention from the indie hardware community #and then expanded from there.
Today around 600 inventors sell more than 3000 different hardware products which have shipped out to more than 80 countries around the world.
Just as Etsy became the go-to marketplace for craft creators Tindie has become the primary hub for hardware aficionados.
We fill the hardware side.##While Petrone achieved his goal of creating a marketplace for hardware projects Tindie also inadvertently made a second contribution to the hardware world:
it now stands as the largest collection of open-source hardware on the planet. Nothing on the site is patented
and the vast majority of sellers have their source code and documentation links available right there on the page Petrone says.
Open source has become very much a part of the brand and what people within the hardware world associate with us.#
#Historically big companies have dominated hardware production for two simple reasons: manufacturing is both expensive and difficult.
Hardware requires physical objects which entail manufacturing costs and usually shipping. But a precipitous drop in prices#which some attribute to the rise of cell phones
which made components cheap#is helping to lower the barrier to open source entry for hardware as are crowdsourcing platforms such as Kickstarter.#
#For companies and makers the revenue model for open source hardware is still being worked out since a person could potentially exploit an open source platform and sell it for profit.
But as Arduino#a microcontroller for DIYERS and the most successful open source hardware project to date#shows people tend to buy the $30 original version rather than the $10 copycats.
#I think open hardware will start coming into its own in the next ten years Petrone says.

#Researchers use single joystick to control swarm of RC robots What can you do with 12 RC robots all slaved to the same joystick remote control?
Common sense might say you need 11 more remotes but our video demonstrates you can steer all the robots to any desired final position by using an algorithm we designed.
