Build a Solar Generator

Looks like a big undertaking as a project, but the solar generator sounds like a great way to produce power. “During a stint in the Peace Corps in Lesotho in southern Africa, Matthew Orosz, an MIT graduate student advised by Harold Hemond, professor of civil and environmental engineering, learned that reflective parabolic troughs can bake bread. Now he plans to use these same contraptions to bring power to parts of

Human Space Invaders/Pong

You can then hear computer generated music in your radio. All electronic devices send out eletromagnetic waves. so does your monitor. and

Home Made Rocket Launcher

  If you have some of the holiday fireworks left over I can’t think of a better way to get rid of them that build a Home Made Rocket Launcher. More pictures can be found here. “Building the first stage rocket launcher was incredibly simple 1) 2″ pipe over 5′ in length to avoid getting blowback in you face 2) Rocket engines, ignitors, lauch controller or any device that puts

Corner Shot
