Otherlab

Inventor Saul Griffith asks whether engineers fully realize how big their influence on the world can be. He challenges all engineers, designers and makers to stretch their notions of what is possible, and to tackle environmental challenges with rigor and ingenuity.

Onya Cycles

Part of my time at Otherlab was spent working on the Onya Cycle hybrid electric front loading tricycle. With the tools available at the Factory, I was able to develop a concept in the morning, CAD it up, laser cut a preliminary prototype out of cardboard or wood, then water-jet full strength aluminum parts, and by the afternoon could be riding around on real parts, testing my design that I had developed that morning.
