Sport-graf

Faire: Rome

Maker: IIS Edoardo Amaldi Roma

 

Sport-graf is a device capable of detecting the electrical activity of the muscle through the application of three electrodes on the skin, treated with the Arduino UNO board and a wave amplifier. The device consists of a breadboard housing the components of the power supply and amplification circuits. The amplifier is powered, through a dual generator, by a lithium ion battery. The chip amplifies the signal (INA128P) coming from the three electrodes and supplies an analog output read by the analog port of the Arduino, which, thanks to the serial plotter, shows a graph with the trend of the contraction and distension activity of the muscle fibres.

Costume Di Scena Automatico per Danzatori e Artisti

Faire: Rome

Maker: Giorgio Liberini

 

A costume with integrated LEDs that light up and change color based on its position: this is the core of a project designed specifically to provide performers with an innovative tool. The costume detects the position, and every movement gently modifies the shades, colors, and light intensity. This dynamic response is governed by specific programmable rules. The scenic effect is extraordinary, both during rapid movements and slow movements, eliciting wonder from the audience about the connection between movement and the device's response

Il pendolo e la meraviglia

Faire: Rome

Maker: Antonio Ianiero

 

Since 2012 I have built various machines that shares the common feature to make unexpected and surprising things. For the Maker Faire Rome events of 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2022, I created an exhibition in my booth showcasing some machines that I called "Thaumachines." The purpose was to popularize the beauty of Science and to inspire visitors to explore the same boundaries between Science, perception, and Art that I once explored myself. Many of those machines were based on the careful and coordinated use of oscillatory motions. - Double pendulum - Multipendulum - Harmonograph - Laser sound visualizer This year, I will present an expanded version of the exhibition by transforming the harmonograph into a mechanical oscilloscope and creating a three-dimensional laser visualization of sounds.

Soluzioni strutturali innovative nell’ingegneria civile

Faire: Rome

Maker: Università degli Studi del Sannio - Benevento

 

Seismic isolation is a recent, innovative method for protecting buildings from major earthquakes by installing isolators and energy absorbing devices under the superstructure. Seismic isolation provides not only structural safety, but also safety and security for people and properties in the building. The prototype to be presented shows three types of base constraints in a civil engineering building model. The Three scale models, representing similar frame structures are placed on a shaking table to simulate the different effects of earthquakes depending on the realized internal/external constraints. It is shown that the isolated structure is the less affected by the ground shaking. Recipients are young people and general public, due to the simple and evident structure of the prototype.
