Amitai stopped by for a day in New York, to engineering some canned food for our new brand of local products: Edible Excess. 100% Local Irradiated Food. Fresh food direct from your waste!

A “how to” obligatory report

After a few hours of chilling and tinkering, our mad crack team successfully breakdown the so called “Instructions” to sort of build your very own Kaleidoscopic Laser Irradiation System.

This is what you might 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

Basic Procedure:

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.

*Remember that you must built the system upon a TV to harness the X-Ray Power needed.

We must harness some power out of here.

Uses of Difraction Gratings

“Making a simple grating pattern is easy. Just scribe a line on a mirror with a razor blade. Then scribe another line, parallel as close as possible, to the first line. Permit light to pass through and you’ll have created two fringes of diffracted light waves. Because of scientific demands, you’ll have to scribe thousands of perfectly parallel lines to the inch.”

The Edmund Difraction Grating Idea Book

We covered our kaliedoscopic motors with difraction gratings to amplify the irradiation power.

Brainstorming the Kaleidoscopic Laser Irradiation System

Objective: To harness the power of consumer culture to generate kaleidoscopic X-Rays able to remove harmfull bacteria from waste.

What If..

You could eat all you waste?

No bacterias. Sanitized. Dope.

The Edible Excess Machine, let’s you waste in peace and on the top of that… you can eat it!.

The more you waste, the more you eat!
