An Energy positive huge Komatsu dumper truck
OK, of course everybody wants to make everything electrical for the he(a)ck of it.
But this project is even better than “just” electrifying a diesel powered dumper truck.
This huge Komatsu HD605-7 dumper truck, used in (open) mining is being transformed for a diesel engine into an electric vehicle.
The battery pack alone is 4,5 tons (8x a tesla model x battery) and it will draw a peek level of 3.000 amps during the 13% steep hills of the Swiss alps where it will be working in a cement factory / mine.
The most interesting thing is that the truck will be energy positive, by recharging itself (and more) during the descent of that hill, but now loaded with tons of material.

Best EVER robot band clip!
Take a look at this amazing robot band by Nigel Stanford (Kiwi’s rule !) and powered by Kuka (and some CGI I guess)
Awesome clip.
Here at frisdenker we know Nigel Stanford from other great video’s!

Second day of Eindhoven Maker Faire
Also the second day was an absolute blast!
It was a truly fantastic weekend.
Getting interviewed by Studio-040
He looks so lost in the big city….
The incredible “By-your-command” robot from Freerk Wieringa
Again big crowds on the second day. Thanks everybody!
The beautiful machines of Ivo Schoofs
The craziest place to be at the faire this year: Power tool racing!
A lot of media attention @Eindhovenmakerfaire
The crazy car parade was cool.
Hopefully next year with more Mad Max style trucks!
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR AT THE Eindhoven Make Faire
Bonus: video from Studio-040

The world’s Heaviest Weight.
I love video’s from Veritasium.
In this video we are introduced to the world’s heaviest (calibrated) weight.
How well calibrated? On a total weight of 1.000.000 pound, they guaranty a maximum variation of 5 pounds….
You can find this contraption at NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
Also in this series a visit to the American Kilogram. As an European I find it funny that the American Pound starts off as a Kilogram 🙂
And while we are at it, I would like to also show you “the world roundest object”.
Fascinating stuff!
I bet you’re hooked on Veritasium too now!

various links again to trickle the mind
1) Beautiful short movie about going to the moon
2) Science fiction becomes reality (kinda…) with the tricoder xprize
Even the doctor was there!
3) The unknown abilities of Horseshoe crab
Very interesting story on popularmechanics about these ancient creatures.
4) He, what’s Steve Ballmer up to these days?
OK, USA facts; cool.
USAFacts was inspired by a conversation Steve Ballmer had with his wife. She wanted him to get more involved in philanthropic work. He thought it made sense to first find out what government does with the money it raises. Where does the money come from and where is it spent? Whom does it serve? And most importantly, what are the outcomes?
It is really nice to live in a country (USA) where all data is public.
But it is also nice to live in a country (NL) where privacy is still a thing…
5) New cool player for electrification of a normal bicycle!
