The first thing I saw when I walked in the gate was this assembly of gears and cranks. The orange belt on the right was turned by the red wheel which was turned by the nearest young person. The belt turned the various gears and cranks to pull pistons in and out of the black boxes to push air through the organ pipes.
Next door this guy was sewing patterns on a solar powered sewing machine.
Down around a corner was the colossus, a 70 m high dynamic scuplture, with three 10 ton rocks that could be pulled around.
There were some motorcycles.
And some steam... with belts.
They were running a stationary engine off the steam boiler of a 1924 Buffalo Springfield road roller to power the belt to run various machines.
They took the roller for a run while I was there.
There were a lot of wacky bikes.
Including a couple of cool wooden ones.
And an electric one.
A new electric car.
There were awesome fungi that you could buy and grow at home.
This is a wind machine that can go downwind faster than the wind speed. It does this by using the propeller to drive the wheels faster than the wind.
And another fire breathing bicycle.
