#gaussfest — Public Fediverse posts

@pikesley @jonty Choosing to believe this is the origin story for something I'm going to call #StickerCamp :blobfoxwink:

EDIT: Perhaps there's a pub function room somewhere near the #Gaussfest location that could become a popup Sticker Operation Centre? :breadthink:

@jonathanhogg We clearly need to go camping more often! Thinks... Perhaps there could be EMF-lets alongside some other events like #Gaussfest and #OSHCamp2026?

@MikeFromLFE @quixoticgeek Gas Museum would be an interesting #Gaussfest venue! Runs for cover...

The next #Gaussfest will be happening at the London Museum of Water and Steam Mid-October, The actual date will be released in June.

Edit: we are waiting on the fixtures from the local football club. Either 10th or 17th Oct.

To make sure you are informed of the confirmed date, you can register for our (infrequent) updates here:

You are a hacker on a train, whatever that means. But what kind of train? Multiple choice #UKHackerTrainPoll :trainpats:

*Trams are also trains. And funiculars. UPDATE: And monorails, steam powered or otherwise :monorail:

If there was some kind of semi-organised UK hackers-on-a-train type meet up, how interested would you be? Further polls could occur... :trainpats:

Yay! Finally got my #ESP32 #HallEffect "magnetometer" up and running, just in time for #Gaussfest! Ah, OK... Anyone planning to bring a Tesla coil to #EMFCamp?

Had a great time at #gaussfest today. Excellent work by @Extelec and the rest of the exhibitors.
I didn't take many photos, but I did get this one of a giant @shieladixon having a hair raising conversation with a tiny Tim!

#Gaussfest about to get spicy with demo #1 😎

#SevereAlert #Tetrapods #TheyAreComing

Safety first! #gaussfest :lightning_bolt:

Lovely photo of Tim Hunkin trying out his van de Graff generator using a wig #gaussfest

14 years ago I built a Steampunk tesla coil for an Exhibition at Kew Bridge Steam museum. (now London Museum of Water and Steam)

This is the venue we are returning to on Sunday for the #Gaussfest. So I thought I'd check out the coil, and I've also repaired the Web site on the World Wide Telegraph.

Amazingly it still works.

@m

damm, wish I could be with you at #gaussfest

TIL: Older #ESP32 devices have a built-in #HallEffect sensor. Might be interesting to see what kind of readings it comes up with at #gaussfest :SoElectric:

[*] Whilst keeping a safe distance from the High Voltage Equipment :blobfoxwink:

PSA for #gaussfest revellers: strike action likely to affect Tube services on Sunday. Might want to keep an eye on https://tfl.gov.uk/campaign/strikes if this is likely to affect you.

Kinda wanna go to #gaussfest, but plane tickets to London are not cheap...

I also feel a bit nominatively obligated to attend

Ok, now we've gotten that pesky #SilentSunday out of the way, time to make that @Extelec #theremin I picked up at #Gaussfest :aMarxParty:

Another video from #GaussFest in #Nottingham - Music being played using a Tesla coil, modular synth and MIDI controller.

I realised I just missed #gaussfest this weekend. I was hoping to make it but then my car engine destroyed itself and now I can’t even get to work next week.
