Description

Who says office cubicles need to be dreary? In this book, author Kaden Harris (creator of www.eccentricgenius.caEccentric Genius) introduces aspiring and die-hard Makers to a highly entertaining parallel universe of surreal office-based projects that are sure to pique the curiosity of even the most jaded office mates.

From desktop guillotines and crossbows to mood-enhancing effects and music makers, each project presents a different set of challenges and opens new avenues of Maker lore. There's a strong emphasis on the basic mechanical theories and principles of the devices presented in the book, as well as the fabrication techniques you need to use. But this is far more than a book of project "how-tos". Eccentric Cubicle offers oblique industrial design and fabrication philosophies, countless cultural reference points, and innumerable bad puns.

This book is a dream come true for you office-bound souls who are tech DIY enthusiasts, hobbyist engineers/designers, and Makers at heart. Imagine having your cubicle sport projects such as:
  • A mechanical golfer
  • Lucid dreaming induction device
  • USB-powered bubble blower
  • Fog machine
  • A desktop guillotine
  • And a whole lot more
In the Eccentric Cubicle, Harris starts with classic, time-honored principals, then modernizes and augments his designs with performance enhancements and updated feature sets -- all while precariously balancing form, function, and oddness. Scavenging and repurposing materials and components at every opportunity, he challenges and inspires you to modify and adapt the projects and designs to meet your own scale, performance, and aesthetic requirements.

Bring character and life to your office desktop with Eccentric Cubicle!

從桌面斷頭台和弩弓到情緒增強效果和音樂製作器,每個專案都提供了不同的挑戰,並開啟了製造者傳奇的新途徑。書中強調了這些裝置的基本機械理論和原則,以及您需要使用的製作技術。但這本書不僅僅是一本專案的「如何」指南。《怪誕辦公室》提供了間接的工業設計和製作哲學,無數的文化參考點和無數個冷笑話。

- 一個機械高爾夫球手
- 明夢誘導裝置
- USB供電的泡泡機
- 煙霧機
- 一個桌面斷頭台
- 還有更多

在《怪誕辦公室》中,Harris從經典的、傳統的原則開始,然後通過性能增強和更新的功能集來現代化和改進他的設計,同時在形式、功能和奇特之間保持脆弱的平衡。他在每一個機會都回收和重新利用材料和零件,挑戰並激勵你修改和適應專案和設計,以滿足你自己的規模、性能和美學要求。
