Why not build one which can actually create usable parts? Like the Makerbot CNC, or others? It's not just a demo like the candyfab, it's an actual micro-fab machine shop. Use the first one to spit out specialized parts to make more of them. See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=412cDGFZBvc Now if you want CRAZY ...then how about some basic science. But not the boring conventional kind. Instead, step away from conventional reality and temporarily put a stop to our limited mundane expectations. I'm talking about high voltage crackpot experiments. Real mad science, like old B&W science fiction movies. For example, I've always wanted to try harnessing the following HV phenomenon in order to try out some ideas. Threadlike streams of "electric wind" http://amasci.com/freenrg/airthred.html Ideas like storing data in a column of empty space, or perhaps create an audio delay line, or a burglar alarm (breaking the invisible ion beam.) Or perhaps even build an oscilloscope CRT which runs at one atmosphere, no vacuum. (((((((((((((((((( ( ( ( ( (O) ) ) ) ) ))))))))))))))))))) William J.
