Description

"The Hungry Scientist Handbook" taps into the hot DIY technology trend that is capturing the imagination of young, creative minds. It compiles the most fascinating and rewarding projects created by mechanical engineer Patrick Buckley and his band of intrepid techie friends, whose collaboration on contraptions started at a memorable 2005 Bay area dinner party and resulted in the formation of The Hungry Scientist Society, a loose confederation of inventive minds dedicated to the pursuit of projects possessing varying degrees of bizarreness and utility.
