Hey everyone, I just want to tell you about a really cool project I just finished coordinating. A while ago I heard about Muffer Lillard, an American lady from Oklahoma. I have to look for it on the map. It's right above Texas and has a population about a quarter of stringent. Anyway, Mother contracted polio when she was a little girl and was put into something called an iron lung. In order to breathe, she slept every night in the iron lungs since 1953. During the day, she uses what's known as a positive pressure machine, but it's just not the same and she can't really survive with it alone. It seems that iron lungs are a bit like cell phones, gaming consoles and computers. They come out with new things, they say are better, but that's just not always true. Or at least not true for everyone. Mother tried these new machines. And while imagine your new tech device meant you couldn't breathe for mother and a few others, that's how it's been for decades. They have carefully maintained the machine they need to breathe, to live. As far as God scares and technical assistance got more and more rare, people can be a little dismissive. Imagine someone told you, oh, you don't need this machine, you can breathe 30% as well with this one. Hell no, and that's not to mention the risk of all the other bad things that can happen to older people. Cook and breathe partly. And for what? Lark of spare parts. Then what are all our shiny tools and our special skills good for? If we can't save just one nice little anti, right? It's just nonsense then. Just a show. I'm not okay with that. Oh, by the way, anti and uncle is what we Chinese call anyone older. It's just a terminal respect. Just so you know what I mean when I say that. Now an iron lung is an interesting device. Your head sticks out and is sort of sucks on your body to pull air into your lungs. So there needs to be a sort of gasket around your neck. The metal parts are no problem, welders to watchmakers. I think there's nothing made out of metal I couldn't source. But that gasket, that color is very tricky. It kind of irises closed and has to be just the right size, just the right material with just the right amount of elatistic. Everyone said, oh, it looks easy and it does. And a lot of people tried over the years, but it never fit cry right. Which means the air lids around it. And the iron lung can do its job. It seems it needed more than just a person handy with a sewing machine. So I tend to underestimate how tricky pastile can be. And a lot of Tom Wazers wanted to play clever, said they could resize something better, but quickly lost interest. What mother needed was an absolutely perfect copy. And for once in my life, I was found that I come from some place that can make an example of almost anything. But there was a much time. The mother was down to her last color and it was licking. So the machine could not help her breathe properly. She sent me her old worn out one. It's hard for me to get packages in shingin. They get stopped by customs, so I have been allowed to Hong Kong and went over the border to bring it back over. Then I put out the call on V-check to all my tech contacts in every city in China. My pitch, we have to say iron antie. Get this? It's like her arm reactor is broken and she needs this crawl part to leave. You could not ride a bad and plot line to get Chinese mobilized for costs. All Chinese love iron man. And of course, you know how we are about our elders. And we get to see cook and copy something perfectly. Well, everyone wanted to show off what they are university. There are a D-labs, there are engineers to do. And it probably didn't hurt that I give pretty much a brand check for any YouTube promotion. They might everyone in the future if they did this for me. A lot of these people have crowdfunding products that they want to promote. And believe me, when they call in that marker, I'm going to promote the heck out of their product without an ounce of shame. I don't even care what it is. Those folks are getting taken care of. I got in touch with Will Wood, no relation, an engineer and entrepreneur who does a lot of work with hardware embedded test tiles. His current product is a relaxation mask, the dream light. Everyone who knew him said, this is the guy. And in China, when people watch that firmly, it means something. And it's like, oh yeah, sure, oh, one can maybe do it. Sure, they have no clue. But when everyone is like, no question, Will Wood is your guy. Well, Will Wood is the guy, particularly because they are all a little scared of me and know what will happen if they send me to the wrong guy because I'm such a sweet, doth of Chinese flower. So I trust him Will with my only sample of my first Ironman color. Cross my finger and send it to Will's engineering team. Now, two weeks later, and what do I have? Well, check this out, Bakurus and Bakaras, bound for Oklahoma, 10 perfect copies. And when I say perfect copies, I measure this with the digital caliper. I don't even know how they did it because I should have them make bras or something. Now to my eyes, hands and instruments, we nailed it. But I'm saving a few so that if there is a problem, I can get them altered and send another batch. And if there isn't, I can get more mate and an average of one color year. I can make sure our 70 year old Iron Antis has enough parts to keep our reactor running until just a nice 1,120 years old. I hope you're as happy with this project as I am. Please check out the link to Will's DreamLight in the description box. It's good people. Lastly, the Maker Movement has brought us some wonderful ideas, but has been mostly about education and fun. There's some works with Starfly 3D printing, post-static hands, but it really hasn't been a cork relu. Hardware hackers are all about sharing. I have this. I want you to have this also. For me, I want to strengthen my commitment to service. Those of you with tools and skills, please think about it. You two ska enough things being crushed, broken, modeled and tested. Let's put some of those resource into something productive. It will be just as good to watch. Put a sign on your garage, drop by a senior home, then local, we can save the world. But we can put our skills and resources to good use and in doing so, challenge ourselves. Please consider taking on more making and DIY projects in the service of those in your community. Who generally need help can get it elsewhere. And may not be aware that makers, hardware and DIY enthusiasts, well, we can do stuff they've only seen on TV and we love to show off our skills for good cause. Thank you, that's it for today and I'll see you all next time.
