TEDxDelft - Rolf Hut - I am a tinkerer November 26, 2011

Favorite:

Rolf Hut is a tinkerer. His main interest and source of a fun is using existing technology in a new and innovative way to measure the earth's weather and climate. He likes to take apart machines and see what he can do with the components in it. The results of this MacGyvering is proof of concept testing of new measurement devices. The results of these efforts are used in the various projects that he is involved in, such as the Trans African Hydro Meteorological Observatory and Climate City Campus at Delft University of Technology.

To prove this technology, Rolf Hut let the rain come down on our main stage.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
