G+_Shelly Parchman Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I had to laugh at Leo Laporte's surprise on Triangulation this week, when Kevin Kelly explained the Amish as technology hackers. Here is a plaining machine we are converting at my work for an Amish owned woodworking company. You can see where we have removed the electric motor to convert it to a hydraulic motor. It will we connected to their shop's hydraulic system and the on/off switch will be replaced with a ball valve. http://twit.tv/show/triangulation/132 #Amish #Technology #Makers #makermovement #Hackers #LancasterCounty #PA #woodworking #industrial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Tim Box Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Electricity is a no no but compressed air is fine. So they do a great trade selling compressed air tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
