PCBWritePhi
A bench machine that writes a working two-sided circuit board out of a copper-clad blank, the same day, with no etching chemicals. It drills the holes, cuts a narrow channel around every trace and pad on the top, takes the board turned over onto two dowels, finds three drilled holes with a camera, cuts the bottom in register, and cuts the riveted board free. The writer software runs now: it checks every design, verifies every toolpath against the copper and refuses to cut a board that would come out shorted. The machine itself is a design to build from, not yet built. Two packages: Home Hobbyist, and Industrial / Wartime Production for keeping boards coming on site when the supply chain does not. Coinciding work: ICWritePhi, printed chips from an LCD stencil, and PCBWrite, which turns a schematic into a laid-out board and hands it straight to the writer.
PhantasmPhi Phase II
1.5M parts, a regional QBeam fleet — 1.62 ronna probability-OPS, 5,384× the guaranteed 300 Z-OPS floor; 37.8B logical qubits. 2.52 GW net. The part is QIC-105: an 858 mm² full-reticle die in the real 40×40 mm BGA-1536 die-side package, 18-chiplet stack × 1,500 CFET layers = 27,000 voxel-layers, with QBeam SEND and RECEIVE integrated on-package (ExitPhi, USPTO App 19/722,805): Bell-measure transmit → 2 classical bits over the CoolBeam phased array → I/X/Y/Z receive correction; 4-lane chain + PipeBeam ordering + 48-channel nanophotonic transceive. QBeam carries bytes, never compute OPS. Phase II is a ladder of 20 blueprints: from one 7 nm QIC die (1.40 E-OPS) and a 3-chiplet stack, through a 2 nm chiplet, a QBeam pair, racks, rows, pods and halls, up to this regional fleet and a 4.71M-part multi-datacenter fleet at 5.07 R-OPS. A master license covers every Phase-II generation.

Gift raiser
Your own AES-256-encrypted Blu-ray Complete engineering package: KiCad PCB + schematics + netlists + flat BOM for the board SKUs; Verilog top + RTL cores + bump map + synthesis config for the IC SKUs Shipped when first silicon of that piece ships. The pledge Your pledge funds the tape-out No loan to pay back, no board seat to give up, no clock running down on when you get what you paid for. The clock runs on the fab. Pledge the asking price on any one of the five pieces below; your copy of the engineering package comes back on a Blu-ray when first silicon ships. Non-exclusive on purpose: several patrons may pledge on one piece and each gets their own copy, while the IP stays with the inventor. Every piece's page ends with its full deliverable checklist, what could go wrong and what was done about it, and the tests behind each figure, linked to primary sources.
