Notable work

No More Woof

No More Woof is a device to translate dogs' thoughts into human language using electroencephalography sensors.[3][4]

The Aalto Puck

The Aalto puck is an experimental hockey puck inspired by the forms of the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto to research what happens if the hockey puck isn't round.[5][6] It is designed with the goal to maximize randomness and has been tested by hockey teams as Swedish Hammarby IF.[7][8]

Flying Carpets for Pets

Flying carpets for pets is a small prototype that can lift small animals (2.4 kilograms (5.3 lb)) up to 7 centimetres (2.8 in) above the ground. The levitation is provided by six pairs of neodymium magnets.[9]

gollark: But it's non-evil, so I would set it to 0, silly.
gollark: When it downloads a page, it stores:- the raw HTML of it, gzipped- the extracted text of it- a timestamp- the frequency of every word (well, token) in the page- every link from that page
gollark: Because of the way it works it uses a *lot* more space than just the size of the page, so it would use all my storage very fast.
