List of techniques

Ideas and techniques relating to RepRap and cheap construction techniques in general.

RepRap 3D Printer

• 3D Printer

RepRap Associated Technology

• RepRap Scanning Head, such as SplineScan, perhaps with a Scanning Spindle
• Automated coil winder, maybe along the lines of the Gingery winder but for building motor coils (DC or steppers)

Advanced Tools

• A paper on microfluidic design - An automated chemical factory that can mix and distill multiple components, while controlling temperature and pressure.

Measurement Tools and Scientific Apparatus

• Digital Oscilloscope
• Digital Oscilloscope - PC sound card based
• Digital Oscilloscope - PC USB based
  • discussion: "Cheap digital storage oscilloscope" http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?13,5086,33775 ; wiki page: http://opencircuits.com/oscilloscope
• Automated PCR unitPCR unit. Perhaps a continuation of the impressive work by Eva Harris

Power Generation

• A small Wind Turbine
• A small Water Turbine
• A fusion reactor (experimental so far, no proof of concept) The Open-source Fusor Consortium

Communication and Computing

• A self-organising peer-to-peer cell-based Wi-Fi network
