This section is obsolete. It was setup in NOV 2005 in order to inform donors/contributors of the specific tasks being developed, on a transparency optics/politics. Last official donation has been in JAN 2006.

Please remark the financial status in DEC 2005, stated at the bottom of the page. That was the grand total I mean THE grand total in my TOTAL pockets

Following is the last update

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Workshop states short/mid term objectives in a Gantt chart, queued tasks, completed task, budget management

• Information may be given in a generic way if related intellectual property is sensitive
• : You can choose to finance specific queued tasks, in conjunction with the shares & contribution strategy
• a Work in Progress diary is the end-recipient of completed tasks

XVST is a visual sensorial transposition kit, a "plug in" for R/C models

Creature 8 Prototype 03 follows the prototyping thread of a 5-line kite for aerial choreographies. Holds same solid volume of 02 and wings, but it is entirely done in composite(epoxy-special tissue). C8.03 demonstrates a whole manufacturing cycle: design, plug construction, molds, composite layout& vacuum bagging, assembly, test flying. Budget worth 40 euros, including epoxy resin and special tissue. Materials were acquired in the past

Article 03 features Article 01 mock up (the GoldBird) linked to 17 Articles 02. It has been sold as artwork according to the financial asset guideline established in NOV 2005: finance main R&D activities by selling Articles

Article 02 full legacy: prototype, serial production, commercial distribution

Article 02 is the first Article being produced and sold by Aerial Creatures & Cognitive Integration, according to the financial asset guideline established in NOV 2005: finance main R&D activities by selling Articles

Manufacture/assembly of a system for vacuum bagging small volumes (max 50 lts):

• vacuum pump
• valves
• drainer
• vacuum meter
• suction cups

Vacuum bagging is a technique used for molding glass/carbon fiber + resin on a mold

I've tried already to use a very old cilinder+piston system attached to a band saw but it proved incapable of achieving less than approx 0.7 Bar. I plan to use a second hand refrigerator vacuum pump and other second hand items. The budget needed is about 20 euros.

Creature 8 Prototype 02 holds same planform of Prototype 01, but it's got a solid volume in polystyrene foam and some other peculiar structural/control issues. Overall budget is 20 euros

Updated Gantt chart coherent with the new asset will be posted soon

Following is the obsolete Gantt for Project Masterblaster, Phase #2 (XMB). It was planned to be carried on in a professional way, and proved not possible
