Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Check out the latest issue of Make Magazine! FIX OUR PLANET”.
Today, i have a wonderful surprise. The new make magazine is here. This is volume 71 december january and it has just arrived at my doorstep. I want to give you a sneak peek of what’s in this issue now this may come as a little bit of a surprise, even though i’m senior editor for make magazine, i don’t necessarily see every single article in completion until the magazine arrives at my door. I talk with my co-workers about it, but unless i directly write it or help edit it, i wait till the issue actually arrives at my door, so the articles that mike or keith or craig or julianne work on, i typically don’t see until they get here. So i get just as excited as everyone else for my make magazine to arrive, i’m going to give you a little preview of some of the cool stuff in this issue.
People who are subscribed should be getting this pretty much now and if you don’t subscribe, you should be able to get this issue on newsstands this month. It should be out soon, let’s jump in and check out some of the cool articles in here. So let me run you through some of the stories that are in this latest issue and give you some previews and maybe even some little video clips to augment these stories now. Our main cover issue fix the planet.
This is a big push for us this year. We recognize that there are some huge problems right now and makers can help address that and to help us with that. Where we have dr saul griffith, that’s written has begun writing a series for us on how to electrify everything.
The next piece will be on another aspect of things: people can do to improve the world he’s backing this all up with you know, actual data and information you’ll have to read the article to get all the details. I’M really excited about a series that i’ve been getting to participate in and that is profiles of youtuber, celebrity makers. This month we got to do jimmy deresta you’ll have to check it out to see jimmy’s story. Another project that simply blew my mind is this little dancing, robot that mike sinise saw at a maker faire. He uh. He took a little video of this thing, i’ll embed the video, so you can see it actually moving. We’Ve got the article here in the magazine. You can see it, you can see the story of how it was built, see a little bit of a breakdown of of how it was constructed and what went into it.
But you really have to see this thing moving to get the full effect of just how wild this little thing is just incredible. As for projects of course, make magazine is full of projects that you can recreate. I think that that’s one of the most important aspects of make magazine, i believe we have uh 21 projects or more in this issue. One of the projects. That’S super cool. Is this trebuchet the pictures? Don’T do it justice, it doesn’t even look like a trebuchet, no trebuchet, i’ve ever seen.
But if you watch this video and see how it moves it starts to make sense. This crazy flipping motion launches objects. Incredibly far and of course, there are full detailed instructions on how you can make your own in the magazine, speaking of things being launched through the air. Another project that we have in here, that’s pretty inspiring.
Is the world record holder paper airplane? We show you how to fold it and how to throw it, there’s so much more in this issue, i’m not going to go through each and every story individually. Those are just a few highlights that i thought were incredible. We have recipes on how to eat your own, bugs some really cool led lit hearts that are kind of rainbow colored i mean so many cool things be sure to check it out.
