I'm here to welcome the era of bamboo based spaceships

There's a little one in orbit right now.

(although that's magnolia wood, not bamboo)

Woah, a wooden satellite, that's awesome! Somehow that feels more like a uniquely Earthly thing out there in space.

Its also uniquely Japanese. From the wikipedia article:

> The satellite was assembled through a traditional Japanese crafts technique without screws or glue.

I for one am prepared for our evolution into the Ousters.

If you haven't read the Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons, go read it. It's worth it.

I loved how diverse those back stories of each characters were. A bit of cyberpunk, a bit of politics, interesting concept of time reversal.

I immediately thought of the Templar’s tree ships. Clearly time for a re-read!

Stellar work! This is such a wonderful writeup!

This paper was submitted march 2015, have there been subsequent studies in the last decade?

This is excellent

It does indeed work! I've been meaning to instrument a food stimulant mass to determine how the chaos is effected my mass offset vs speed. I think due to the under-actuated nature of the system you're stuck with a balance between cg-offset, gravity and input rotation on the first axis

Admittedly this is a play on words, fair point! Gimbaled Gyro Sandwiches would be a better title

Have you noticed that a gyro sandwich is only cooked in one axis?

I built a contraption to slow cook in multiple axes and documented it here:

Not only is it tasty, it's mesmerizing to watch. Feel free to copy the design for your own festivities.

My only critique is that you should have incorporated an aquarium somehow and added sous-vide to your cooking process.

Otherwise, a flawless piece of work.

And, the links to your friends are amazing and a treasure trove as well.

I have never cooked a gyro sandwich, I have, however, cooked gyro meat and used that in a sandwich

That said, this is really cool. I enjoyed the read.

Absolutely brilliant.

I'm interested, is there a hands on video or review somewhere?

It's always nice to see a detailed write up, a lot of cnc mill repairs end up replacing the existing control hardware but this write up was a curious take on maintaining the existing electronics, which takes more talent than replacing.

Thanks! The repair was a bit involved and drawn out, but well worth it :D

This is an excellent writeup, it's refreshing to see detailed writeups that are quick to load

Thanks. I like to keep things lightweight :D
