In the next weeks my students and I will show you, how to build your own Multi-Flash. Here, a great example of a multi-flash photograph (Harold E. Edgerton):

The famous "Piddler" also relies on a built-in strobe!

STROBE KIT – Intro

Components:

· Printer board

· 3 potentiometers

· 1 LCD

· 1 switch

· 1 taster

· 1 power connector

All these things are located in a black case. Furthermore you need at least one LED-panel and of course a power supply.

LCD: displays the time between the flashes.

1: Potentiometer, which allows you to change the display brightness.

2: Potentiometer, which allows you to change the length of each flash (duty cycle).

3: Potentiometer, which allows you to change the time between the flashes.

LED PANELS

Each LED-Panel consists of ten LEDs. You can connect a maximum of four LED-Panels.

More to come in the following weeks!

The Strobe-Kit project is a collaboration between 2fast4u (iPressl) and the HTL Wolfsberg.

Finally I find time to report: It was good to visit the HTL Wolfsberg again, in January, during my last stay in Austria. I gave a presentation about my current work with my company iPressl and about my PhD research at MIT:

I spoke about my Social Networking Site for Austria: www.redwired.org

the project MIT-Austria,

2fast4u, which I collaborated on with the HTL and am now co-advising two thesis papers of four HTL students:

My kids project in collaboration with KIMEKI: CINEATRIX.

The NASA Spaceelevator Project:

my US Army project called Super Insulation,

and my PhD thesis work on Electromagnetic Welding.

Furthermore, my two colleagues Andreas Maier and Bernhard Heine, who visited me at MIT, last year in the fall, gave a talk about their trip and findings working with me on some new high speed photography images:

Our talks were very successful and I always enjoy the technical and friendly atmosphere at the HTL Wolfsberg.
