If you ever wanted to play around with a earthquake detector, this system look quite simple and well documented. “Let me admit at the outset that due to a scandalous absence of earthquakes in Northern Ireland this project has never been tested on any meaningful earth-movement whatsoever. However, the setup is sensitive enough to detect passing cars, bad-tempered neighbours slamming doors 10 metres away and pile drivers at a distance
Have a look at this laser projector. It is home made but the results are fantastic! Video Example 1 Video Example 2 “This is a challenging project that to build the laser projector with professional grade :-).

It is hard to imagine what will be possible with direct mind control in the next dozen years. Will we be driving cars with no steering wheel? Read the research paper (warning it is a PDF). “Researchers at the University of Plymouth created this “Brain-Computer Music Interfaceâ€, which uses two laptops to analyze brain waves and composes music based on the results. The BCMI-Piano (Figure 1) falls into the
If you want to max out your next computer system this CPU cooling system might be what you need. “Scythe Japan has just unveiled the “Silver Knightâ€, a watercooled CPU fan/cooler that boasts an 8mm copper pipe for water circulation (5.7L/h), radiator, pump, and a 92mm fan. It’s compatible with all LGA 775 and Socket 745/939/940 motherboards. This device measures 130 x 126.5 x 165mm and weighs a hefty 960g.
Have a look at this cool rapid fire coil gun, it was created by the same guy that made this one. “The Injector is a high power solenoid designed to push the projectiles out from the magazine into the coil breach. The armature/piston is made out of the same steel as the projectiles but of a slightly smaller diameter. The length is twice as long as the coil so that
