I won't pretend I know all the physics of how this works but you can read more about it here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_refrigeration
The idea though is to use the campfire instead of propane to power the cooling cycle. Like my other project, I would like to use empty propane cylinders as the boiler.

A b
uddy of mine mentioned he wanted a record cutting lathe. It got me thinking about a possible application for the 4 axis motor controller and decided to sketch what I envision a record cutting lathe to be.
My main interest is finding more uses for the motor controller, but I am also intrigued by what would be possible when redesigning this with new methods.
Some updates in this design vs older designs:

A barge-like structure that would offer kayakers and other river goers a chance to dock up, take shelter and perhaps enjoy a swing in a hammock while enjoying the sights in the middle of the Willamette River.
Base of floating structure could be constructed of recycled plastic bottles or from more traditional pontoons/wood style dock. Wicking gardens/lawn would be a bonus as well as the potential for a night-time fire pit.
