The desert, can it be a modern day wonderland?
What do most of us think about when we hear the word ‘desert’? A very very dry place with literally tons of sun and sand. What exactly could one do in this environment?
Enter into the world of Markus Kayser, who has developed some amazing equipment utilizing these two elements. His first project ‘The SunCutter’ harness’ the sun to cut design into .4m plywood or paper cards. He designs a low powered laser. Yes, that’s correct! Check it out here.
