Re: 2016 One Item A Day For BM List....


Got the swamp cooler hooked up and purchased the canopy poles. And made up a logo for my swag "Mako Over Burning Man 2016."

Re: 2016 One Item A Day For BM List....
How's this for holes? Not too happy with the wood fiber swamp cooler fabric. Ordered some plastic kind. Glad I got a 600 gpm bilge pump, had to increase the power to 50% to get it to lift water 3 feet. My 12 volt timer came in, not sure if I need to use it. Canceled the 1-1/4" conduit canopy fitting...

Re: cooling your tent or van
Swamp Cooler Success! Got my 80 watt 10" fan in today and had purchased a bildge pump earlier. And I got a dimmer switch for reducing the pump flow. Everything working great. Started test at 9 pm at 50% pump power. Reduced it to 25% of it's 3.5 amps capacity. The fan will need to be full power. It a...

Re: Da Vinci Flying Machine
Hi Fellow Burners, Slowly making progress since my wing design needed to be revised. Here is the last set of three views until I need to take her apart and work on bolting the fuselage, cutting the fabric, sewing the seat webbing and making the wing shaft work more smoothly. http://cdn2.hubspot.net/...

Hey all, and Elliot for your encouragement! It's hollow copper tubing! I've purchased every 1" copper T for miles around! Here’s the latest photo. The first wing spar is installed! The seat webbing is just threaded in for looks at the moment. Very excited about the progress. Also, I’m building a swa...

Hey Elliot, I might need help with my DaVinci Flying Machine if it gets a flat tire. Take off speed is predicted to be 88 mph! Looking forward to meeting you and the camp with my friend Andrew and sister Susan. It's our first Burn. http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/216938/DaVinci-Flying-machine.jpg?t=14...

Looking for a camp with a Shark Theme
I'm really not familiar with what areas are what. I'm volunteering with the Earth Guardians Camp but probably won't be able to park there. I'm bringing a trailer my Dad built after he retired to Key West. I hope everyone likes it. Please let me know if you have space for such an inspiration. http://...

Version 3 is evolving. Hope to get some inspiration from the DaVinci Show here in Cincinnati at the Museum Center. The fuslage will be made from one inch diameter ash. The axel and wing shaft from one inch copper. The wings and tail from bamboo. Estimated takoff speed of 25 knots with a 90 pound twe...

Re: Da Vinci Flying Machine
Version 2 is coming along. It's going to be about half scale so kids or small adults can fly it. It has a copper propeller shaft. The fuslage and wing fabric is from a 12' patio umbrella. The wings and tail are bamboo. About 20 foot wingspan. http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/216938/Da_Vinci_Flying_Mach...

Da Vinci Flying Machine
Here's my Da Vinci Flying Machine for Burning Man. Da Vinci was wrong, there is enough human power to fly with modern materials and designs. I figure about 20 minutes of flight time.

First timer at Burning Man. Enjoy contributing to the event in the pre-sale. Got three $990 tickets and one VP. Only problem I had was entering my credit card properly. Finally got it right after ten tries! Looking forward to planning our flying kite shark art and rechargeable LED costumes!
