The heavy lifting of the Zebedee is done in software as all that conflicting laser data is converted to a 3-D map.

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.
They use the temperature difference between the ram air coming in and the liquid hydrogen to run a closed cycle helium turbine.

#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.#
#Part of the reason software has led the open source charge is that it has the advantage of being lightweight Petrone explains.
#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.
Most people want to support those who are actually contributing and putting the sweat and time into the project Petrone says.
There is so much demand for the open source products sold on the site that the waiting list alone contains nearly half a million dollars worth of orders.
#I think open hardware will start coming into its own in the next ten years Petrone says.
Apple s not going to open source their products anytime soon but Tesla could.##This article was published originally in the October 2014 issue of Popular Science#with#the title The Etsy Of Hardware.

DIRTT is hoping to forestall these problems with the help of their Doom engine-based software named ICE.
The Doom engine is a computer program that can render 2-D blueprints into a 3-D space.
Because the engine is open-source DIRTT was able to adapt it for their own needs--for example ICE melts with other design softwares including Autocad.
When the panels arrive at their destination they're popped into pre-cut aluminum frames which will hold the wall panels upright in the finished building.
But it s not only the speed at which the walls are built that's helpful. Jenkins explains that some buildings such as hospitals may need to reconfigure their interior panels quickly to make way for another patient with different needs.
Not only that but they need to be sensitive to rapid technology changes as well. Hospitals are making decisions for
