I went to a steam rally yesterday...obviously nothing was on the scale of some of the stuff in this thread but it was awesome...both my grandad and my uncle are engineers/inventors so it was great having the mechanisms of stuff explained to me (I didn't inherit any of their technical/practical abilities sadly).
Very sick thread though, awesome stuff.

“Very quickly, it became clear that nobody wanted to go back at night because FLIP was not only more comfortable, but it provided a good platform for working 24 hours a day,” says Pinkel. “When things were working, you didn’t want to leave your experiment to go back to a mothership.”
