Hello everyone,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The maker community in Wayne County is making an impact in\nthe effort to fight COVID-19 and its spread.  Wooster Community Hospital,\nChamber of Commerce, West Hill Nursing Home, Aultman Orrville Hospital, UA\nCampus Cupboard, and others recipients are receiving community-made supplies\nthat are out-of-stock elsewhere.  Schantz MakerSpace, Wayne College 3D\nLab, and members who frequent these makerspaces are connecting PPE items to\nneeded institutions and people on a continual basis through the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What amazes me about this effort is how many minds are\nworking together to improve the PPE items we\u2019re producing.  Face shields\nare important for medical staff, protecting them from bodily fluids as they\nhelp infected or potentially infected patients.  There are numerous\n\u201cframe\u201d designs that can be downloaded and 3D printed.  The makerspace\ncommunity tried many of them, ultimately modifying an existing design to\nspeed-up production, have a better fit, easier assembly.  Different\nmaterials were tried for the clear protective shield including acrylic\nsheeting, overhead transparencies, and others.  This truly is a community\neffort to provide the best PPE items possible in the fastest time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you like to help with\nmaking PPE items for community members and health institutions that need them?<\/strong>\n You don\u2019t need anything fancy like a 3D printer; help us by sewing\nmasks!  We will supply the materials (cloth pieces and elastic strips) and\ndistribution of the completed masks.  The need for masks is great.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masks are easy to make, really!  Attached are the\ninstructions and below is a video<\/a>.  Please\nreply to this email if you are interesting in helping in this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late last year, we had the pleasure of inviting a family to\nthe Wayne College 3D Lab<\/a> to\nlearn about 3D design and 3D printing.  While many get into 3D printing\nvia the vast repository of objects on Thingiverse.com<\/a>,\ndid you know that it\u2019s easy to design your own stuff?  A kid friendly CAD\ndesign program called TinkerCAD.com<\/a> is\nperfect for all ages.  It\u2019s web based (no program to install) and kid\nfriendly (objects are made with simple building blocks like cubes and\nspheres).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Needless to say, the kids had a blast downloading,\ndesigning, and printing something to take home literally a couple of\nhours.  3D printers are a great way to foster creativity and invention,\nmotivating our younger generations to become future designers, engineers,\nresearchers, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elliott Liggett is a member of the Schantz Makerspace and a\nregular participant in Maker Faire Wayne County.  At the past Maker\nFaires, he built a Peltier cooled cloud chamber for observing subatomic\nparticles.  Not one to take a break, Elliott is now working on a Muon\nTelescope using 30 geiger counters in a 5×6 matrix to observe the occurrence\nand direction of muons.  A Muon is an elementary particle, meaning it has\nno internal structure or is not made up of anything else. It is one of the\nbuilding blocks of the protons in the nucleus of an atom and therefore is very small,\nyet its mass is much greater than an electron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A line or path of high energy cosmic ray muons can be more\nindicated by a straight line of illuminated LEDs  Most muon detectors on\nthe Internet use the simultaneous activation of only two Geiger tubes, but this\nmuon telescope reliably indicates the direction<\/em> of incoming muons by the\nillumination of two or more LEDs in a perpendicular or diagonal line. \nCheck-out this video<\/a>\nof the Elliott\u2019s muon detector in-action:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muons are continuously bombarding the earth as “cosmic\nrays” and are created by collision of high-energy particles with gas\nmolecules and\/or dust in the upper atmosphere.   The high-energy\nparticles are probably protons from exploding stars in deep space or possibly\nfrom our sun.  The life of a muon is too short to allow it to strike the\nearth, but yet many penetrate hundreds of meters through solid rock into the\nearth, seemingly impossible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned next week as we introduce more interesting folks\nwho participated in last year\u2019s Maker Faire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until then,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
