River Table
29 September 2020
If you have spent some time on the world wide web, you most probably have seen at least one rivertable. They look simply amazing and the natural beauty of fluid dynamics, frozen in time is simply astonishing. The output depends mostly on chaos, where only some input variables can be tweaked. This was love on […]
Fourier Fun
26 September 2020
Have fun playing around with the speed and the amounts of circles to create beautiful graphs 😉 While I often had to work with Fourier Transformations in the scope of computer vision and also during my master thesis to analyse electromagnetic frequencies, most of the times I simply used the equations, without thinking to much […]
Low Level Home “Automation”
27 July 2020
Like many humans and all Nerds, I really enjoy to place my life into metrics and keep an overview. Since my gf and I started making mead, it was of interest where we could store it during fermentation process. For that the temperature needs to be at least above 15°C and so we placed a […]
Interactive Corona Dashboard
10 March 2020
When the Corona epidemic reached Germany I got interested in the visual representations of the pandemic and was surprised that most awesome of them all, did not have a higher granularity for Europe than just the countries. Since all local medias were quoting the numbers of the Robert Koch Institute, and they provide the numbers […]
Deep Fakes with Sebastian Rendi Wagner
19 September 2019
Not long ago the first videos started showing up, were you could see people saying things which they never said in reality.This one really triggered goose bumps for me when I saw it firstSince then I was fascinated by the possibilities, but also of the dangers of this so called deep fakes. Recently I stumbled […]
Money is Time – You pay with your time
6 April 2019
Everybody knows the phrase “Time is Money” but its also the other way round! I was often curious how long I need to work to pay for something. Mostly small things like a coffee or a ticket to the cinema.Since I am lazy and don’t want to do the calculations each time by hand, I […]
Brightness values of images as 3D topology with Python
5 February 2019
I am still not sure why exactly, but yesterday an idea came to my mind at did not let it go until I wrote a small python script to make it happen.The idea was inspired by some Art of 3d cubes showing an image, minecraftstyle, where the topology was defined by the color brightness. It […]
Brain Blossom – Boost your Creativity
24 January 2019
Once upon a time I have read how to become an idea machine. TLDR: Write 10 ideas about a random topic per day to get more creative over time. Like: 10 ways to produce less garbage 10 ideas to mitigate hunger in the world 10 dates I want to have with my SO 10 ways […]
LED suit
21 January 2019
Since I am living in Cologne, one of the centers of carneval I want to build my own costume.Since I am a nerd, it has to include sensors and LEDs. There are 3 independent circuits, which can show different animations or colors.The control works in phase 1 with a flexsensor in my glove and some […]
3D printed Phone holder
21 January 2019
Last year I had the issue that I wanted to send a phone with a tripod to Mars in the scope of an experiment for the analog astronaut mission AMADEE-18. Since volume and weight are both critical for the stability of the tripod, but need to be as small as possible for space missions, I […]
Delta Robot
21 January 2019
One of the projects I did during university was called “Assesment and optimization of magnetic torquers for spacecraft attitude control“ This involved the conception and development of an automated test stand. After some research I decided to build a delta robot, due to his big working area and smooth movements in comparison to a cartesian […]
EDIE – Extra Terrestrial Deep Ice Exploration
20 January 2019
A solution at the NASA Space Apps Challenge Vienna 2016, that focused on the in situ exploration of liquid oceans under thick ice crusts, while relaying the data back to earth. Project page
Quantum Mechanics in Space
20 January 2019
In this paper we propose an experiment designed to observe a general-relativistic effect on single photon interference. The experiment consists of a folded Mach-Zehnder interferometer, with the arms distributed between a single Earth orbiter and a ground station. By compensating for other degrees of freedom and the motion of the orbiter, this setup aims to […]
In den Schlingen der Doppelhelix
20 January 2019
Die im Labor erschaffene Laka ist bereits bei ihrer „Geburt“ nur ein unnützes Relikt einer längst untergegangenen Zivilisation. Von intelligenten Maschinen erschaffen, welche stupide den letzten Willen ihrer Schöpfer auf ewig weiterführen. Zusammen mit dem Biocomputer Bebon und ihrem menschlichen Freund Felipe macht sie sich auf, um die Überreste der Menschheit zu erkunden.Ihre Reise führt […]
