Got Waste?

The Machine

The Edible Excess Machine is a device designed to purify and remove harmful bacteria from waste. In order to face our planetary emergency, we want to take advantage of New York City’s precious but wasted resources, to explore new age forms of nutrition free of bacteria and turn our city into the first truly sustaintable city in the world. The more you waste, the more you eat. Waste it and taste it! we say.

The EEM builts upon a rescued vintage TV as an X-Ray emitter to irradiate waste and sterlize it using a Kaleidoscopic Laser Irradiation System. Once the waste is safe, we will produce fresh local products that you can obtain for free in your nearest organic green market.

How to build your own Edible Excess Machine.

To create your very own Kaleidoscopic Laser Irradiation System you need:

- A Laser (30 mW or less.. or more)
- 1 motor 1.5-3 Volts
- 5 mirror circles 1 cm diameter
- 1 defraction grading film
- a battery holder 2 AA batteries
- A DPDT switch
- Wire
- Glue Gun with Hot Glue.
- TV

Motor shaft is coupled to the mirror array covered with a defraction grating. The motor is then connected to a 3V source through a switch for control. The laser is mounted pointing at the rotating array reflecting towards the object.

The projection created will sucessfull irradiate any type of waste.
