The 3-foot-talL ROBOT looks like a Roomba vacuum cleaner with a cardboard tower on it, a small electronic tablet for a head. The face is a video of me, watching the thing roll up, then reverse back toward the work table, where Gerald Knight sits in front of a laptop with the same video playing on it.
“Normally, robots like that are like $10,000,” Knight, a middle-aged African-American guy in a ball cap and glasses, says. “This is $350. The tablet is from Walmart.”
We’re at the Baltimore Hackerspace on a Wednesday night. The location, on Landay Avenue, between the Player’s strip club and a business that seems to involve moving a lot of empty pallets around on forklifts, is not indicative of the nation’s glorious and soon-to-be resurgent high-tech manufacturing future. The building itself is like a tall garage, with a big overhead door in front that looks out on cracked pavement, and a semi truck parked on wood blocks.
But looks deceive. All around us, cool things are happening.
There are guys playing with a big speaker filled with corn starch mixed with water. There are guys working on computer code, and guys—key guys, actually: Paul King and David Powell, two of the founders of this hackerspace—messing with an amplifier kit. There is a guy putting the finishing touches on a scratch-built model helicopter with eight rotors.
This is Knight’s second trip to the Baltimore Hackerspace. He says the men here were central to getting his robot built. Ten weeks ago he started the project. It is perhaps indicative of the progress he made working by himself that, two weeks ago, he brought a pile of parts to Landay Avenue. “The guys have been wonderful,” Knight says. “Paul said, ‘Let’s crack this thing open,’ and boy, did he. We certainly voided the warranty.”
Baltimore is awash in DIY spaces where tinkerers can gather and share ideas and tools, sip beer, and void warranties. Called “makerspaces,” the concept started in Germany in the mid-1990s, when a group called the Chaos Computer Club founded an open-membership space in Berlin called c-base. MIT expanded on the concept in 2001, snagging a National Science Foundation grant for its Fab Lab, which then spread to 34 countries. Baltimore has seen an explosion of new spaces in the past few years. Besides the Hackerspace, founded in 2009 and now on the far east side, there is The Node in the Station North Arts District, and last month The Baltimore Foundery [sic] opened on the 200 block of South Central Avenue. All offer tools for metalworking, wood, computers, and robotics, but each has a slightly different focus.
And they’re not the only choices. For two-and-a-half years the Community College of Baltimore County in Catonsville has offered an MIT-affiliated Fab Lab with similar amenities and then some. Security-minded programmers founded the Unallocated Space out near BWI airport, and in late 2012 Dr. Tom Burkett founded BUGSS, the Baltimore Under Ground Science Space, at 101 N. Haven St. That bio-tech-focused group teaches how to build genes and make new organisms.
There is even a roving kid-centered makerspace bringing instruction to middle and grade school kids and their parents throughout Maryland, D.C., and Northern Virginia. “There is a big confluence of high-tech people in Baltimore,” says Matt Barinholtz, founder of FutureMakers.
“Baltimore has got the progressive families that want to see their young people have genuine experiences.”
“Part of it is there’s a resurgence in the whole notion of making,” says Jason Hardebeck, the landlord and co-founder of The Foundery—so named because it aims to develop business founders, in part, by literally shaping and casting molten metal. “My little brother—he’s 40—asked me what a makerspace is. I said it’s what the hipsters call workshops.”
But unlike grandpa’s workshop, makerspaces are explicitly collaborative. The open collective model allows—almost forces—collaboration among people who might not otherwise have met, and the tool-sharing promotes multidisciplinary competence.

RBS Gets Heated Over $230m
The taxpayer-backed Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) is risking a renewed political outcry by opposing the restructuring of a major British-based manufacturer that would preserve hundreds of UK jobs.
Sky News has learnt that RBS intends to vote against a proposed takeover of Ideal Stelrad, which makes boilers and radiators, by Bregal Capital, a private equity firm, in a move which will potentially prevent a transition to new ownership.
Bregal has tabled an offer valuing Ideal Stelrad's equity and debt at roughly $230m, a sum sufficient to enable the company's senior lenders to recover their original exposure to it.
RBS, which holds approximately 15% of Ideal Stelrad's shares, is understood to be holding out for a better offer despite the fact that the group's lenders have run an auction lasting well over six months.
Bank of Ireland, another major financial institution that was bailed out by taxpayers during the banking crisis of 2008, is also said to be opposing the deal, although it speaks for only around 5% of the company's shares.
The takeover bid from Bregal is understood to require the approval of at least 75% of Ideal Stelrad's shareholders, but with time running out ahead of an initial deadline on Friday evening, support for the deal is understood to have stalled at around the 70% mark.
Although it is possible for Ideal Stelrad's board to extend the deadline, many of the manufacturer's lenders are understood to be frustrated at RBS's stance and are concerned that Bregal could withdraw its interest.
A spokeswoman for RBS declined to comment, although a source close to the bank said that several options for the future of Ideal Stelrad remained under consideration. RBS did not have the power on its own to block a deal and the bank was intent upon remaining as an investor even after a transaction, they said.
RBS has frequently encountered a political backlash over its lending activities since it was rescued by taxpayers in 2008, with complaints ranging from its choice of customers to its perceived willingness to lend to British companies seeking funds to expand.
Headquartered in Newcastle, Ideal Stelrad has manufacturing facilities in Hull and Mexborough, south Yorkshire. It employs roughly 1,800 people in the UK and at its international operations in countries including Holland, Romania and Turkey, and Bregal is understood to have indicated that it would maintain the manufacturing capacity in the UK.
Ideal Stelrad is one of hundreds of companies in which RBS ended up holding a significant equity stake after the banking crisis and subsequent recession, with these shareholdings apportioned to dedicated teams within the taxpayer-backed bank.
Insiders said that relations between Ideal Stelrad's chairman, Richard Connell, and RBS had been strained for some time.
The bank is said to have been keen for the radiator and boiler divisions of the company to be sold separately in an effort to maximise value. Insiders said on Friday, however, that profits had been in decline at the radiator unit while trade buyers had not made compelling bids for the boiler business.
Bregal is a private equity firm whose investors include the billionaire Brenninkmeijer family, founders of the high street retailer C&A. Its investments in the UK include the fast-growing education company Cognita, and Zephyr, a wind-power generator.
The prospective buyer is understood to have structured its offer to allow existing shareholders to remain owners of up to 24.9% of the company if they wish to remain exposed to it.
If Bregal does succeed in acquiring Ideal Stelrad, it would become the third private equity firm to own the manufacturer in less than a decade.
Previously called Caradon Plumbing, the company was acquired by Montagu, formerly HSBC’s buyout division, for $496m in 2000. The new owners decided to break up the business, selling Twyford Bathrooms for $85m and Mira Showers for $301m, and selling the rump of the group to Warburg Pincus for $227m in 2005.
That investment went awry after Warburg Pincus refinanced Ideal Stelrad at the height of the debt boom in 2007. The company then breached its borrowing agreements and underwent a financial restructuring that culminated in a debt-for-equity swap.

Polar explorer on first green expedition
The 57-year-old polar explorer is preparing for an Antarctic expedition in 2015 where he will survive solely on renewable energy during the two-month-long trip.
Swan, who first took the Antarctic journey in 1986, wants to prove that if someone can survive on renewable energy in extreme climatic conditions in the polar region, then it can be replicated anywhere else in the world.
“It will be the first expedition to the South Pole on renewable energy. The whole purpose of undertaking this expedition is to tell the world to switch to environment-friendly sources of energy,” Swan told IANS in an interview. He is in India as part of the Great Himalayan Expedition to open the ‘Third Pole E base’ at Ladakh as part of his ’2041 Campaign’.
“Every year when I go to Antarctic, I find ice of the size of Delhi has broken and is drifting due to the rising temperature … this shouldn’t happen,” said Swan, who has cleaned an entire island in the the South Pole in the last eight years.
Swan says his team is working with experts in the US to devise technology for his green expedition.
“We will be carrying solar panels, a wind turbine and batteries to cook, melt drinking water, run GPS systems, headlamps, charge batteries of electrical devices and instruments. It is a tough task but we are up for it,” said the Englishman, who has been appointed the UN Goodwill Ambassador for Youth.
All expeditions to the poles till now use fossil fuels like gas and coal to survive in temperature as low as minus 70 degrees Celsius.
Speaking about the ’2041 Campaign’, Swam said: “It an effort to raise awareness about the date (2041) when world leaders will start reviewing the moratorium on drilling and mining for rich minerals in the South Pole.”
“As part of the campaign I have been involving youngsters across the world and inspiring them to take sustainable and environment friendly tasks. These young people will become the future leaders who will take forward my task of saving the planet,” said Swan.
Swan has opened third E-Base station at Ladakh after the Antarctic and Pench Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh.
The E-Base is a sustainable green building that serves as a model for educational, environmental and energy issues.
“Its purpose is to inspire the world to tackle the issue of climate change. It shows that if we can survive using renewable energy at the remotest locations of earth, then we can all take such measures,” said Swan.
In India, he has been working with The Energy and Research Institute (TERI) and food processing and packaging solutions company Tetra Pack on two projects SEARCH and LEADearthSHIP.
Project SEARCH is to create awareness among school students, teachers and the school community at large about waste and the habit of refusing, reducing, reusing and recycling.Read the full story at scfwindturbine.com web! If you love wind turbine, welcome to contact us!

You Just Have To Have It!
The Kenwood Cooking Chef looks sort of like a cross between a stand mixer and a movie robot. It can chop, slice, shred, mix, and even cook your food—a gadget surprisingly close to one of those household helpers the Jetsons schooled us all to expect in the future. At the International Housewares Show in Chicago last week, the little fella had an exhibit space to itself, prime real estate in the center of the kitchen electrics pavilion where a chef imported from New York whipped up flawless risotto almost hands-free. “This is perfect,” said the attendee next to me, a local cooking instructor. “Just perfect.” And so it was. The only thing standing between us and equally perfect, effortless risotto was the $2,000 we’d need to bring the Kenwood Cooking Chef home.
Is America really ready to drop that kind of cash on a cooking appliance? The Thursday before the show, the Bureau of Economic Analysis announced that they’d revised their estimates of fourth-quarter GDP growth upward ... to a sluglike annual pace of 0.1 percent. The Friday after the show, America woke to the news that unemployment was now only 7.7 percent, which amounts to a four-year low, but is still 5 million more people than reported being out of work in January 2008. In the area of Chicago’s South Side where the housewares expo is held, the rate is closer to a recession-level 11 percent. Not exactly, you’d think, Ken-the-brushed-stainless-Chef’s shining moment. Shouldn’t we be tightening our belts, getting back to basics?
Even in flusher times, Americans seemed largely uninterested in these massively expensive “kitchen machines,” which have been popular in Europe for years; Thermomix, Kenwood’s main competitor, pulled out of the U.S. market in 2004, and Kenwood only started selling the Cooking Chef through Williams-Sonoma last October. The kind of from-scratch cooking that these machines are meant to enable has been in decline over here. During the decades when this country’s economic growth was the envy of the world, Americans’ spending on home cooking plummeted even while restaurant spending went up. Kitchen machines, says Jack Schwefel, the CEO of Sur La Table, “offered a convenience the American consumer wasn’t looking for.”
The irony, however, is that with the recession, Kenwood’s moment may have come. We might be holding onto the old car for a few more years and booking a staycation instead of a week at the shore. Between 2007 and 2012, personal-consumption expenditures rose a scant 3.5 percent. (For comparison, during a comparable five-year period around the 2001 recession, the same numbers rose more than 15 percent.) But we are still spending a lot of money on flashy kitchen equipment.
Pricey “kitchen machines” like the Cooking Chef are still new to the market, of course, but dozens of other upmarket, automatic-everything, newer-than-next- week gadgets I saw scattered throughout the show are making their way into more and more American kitchens. Stand mixers, coffee makers, juicers, blenders, and, increasingly, machines that do more than one thing. According to Debra Mednick of market research firm NPD, sales of kitchen electrics were up 10 percent last year, following a 9 percent increase the year before. Mednick’s ability to gather data stops at the cash register, so she can’t say whether we’re cooking from scratch. But the growth in our gadget purchases seems to indicate that if we aren’t cooking from scratch more than we recently did, we’re certainly preparing to.

Dedicated to freshly-prepared food and beverages, “My Kitchen” is an open show kitchen and bar that can cater to tea breaks, luncheons, and social events. Adjoining it is the alfresco “My Terrace” with stunning views of the bustling city below and is perfect for cocktails or a standing buffet. “My Lawn,” a 50-meter-long, open-air patio with a putting green that adds a casual fun element to this corporate retreat and is ideal for sumptuous sunset cocktails, dinners, or BBQ.
To ensure your meeting or event runs smoothly, dedicated event butlers complemented by a team of multinational chefs and wait staff, are on hand to look after your every need with personalized service.
So whether it is a corporate meeting, workshop, conference, or a product launch, M23 offers all the ingredients for a successful event.
VoluMill has consistently shown itself to be the easiest, quickest and most cost effective way for machining operations to reduce cost, shorten delivery times and increase productivity. Adopted by large and small organizations around the world and across all industries, VoluMill’s patented technology generates toolpaths that produce a consistent material removal rate.
Their smooth, flowing motion establishes and maintains ideal milling conditions in any part shape. Reduced forces on the spindle and cutting tool enable machining hardware to be safely utilized to its full capabilities. Uniform chip formation and excellent heat dissipation result in the previously unachievable combination of dramatically reduced cycle times and significantly extended cutting-tool life.
“We are pleased to have this opportunity to work with DECKEL MAHO, one of the world’s leading machine tool builders with a reputation for superior quality and innovation. The Aerospace Excellence Center’s focus on aerospace applications is directly in line with many of Celeritive’s industry distinctive initiatives,” says Terry Sorensen, CEO for Celeritive. “Our Aerospace business is growing rapidly as companies discover how quickly VoluMill improves profitability, delivery times and production capacity.”
