Flashbag - USB Flash Drive with Micro Pump

This is almost as funny as the USB dog! I hope that’s a full flashbag in your pocket. 🙂 “The size of the device changes depending on the amount of data it holds. When the device is about to blow up you will see the familiar error message on your screen: “There is not enough free space”. When switched off the flashbag remains pumped up, so you can estimate with

RF Remote Controller

This RF Remote Controller project is very well documented and even has a step by step explanation of what the PIC microcontroller code is doing line by line! “On these pages, I will introduce Remote Controller with Radio Frequency. The electric wave sending-out is controlled with the code by PIC for transmission and the code is deciphered by PIC for receiving. The 2 stages FET amplifier is used for the

Huge Smoke Ring Generator

I could see myself building one of these smoke ring generators. Too bad they need calm air to operate, I could imagine building some automated ones that would be great for ballparks, fairs, birthday parties… But it looks like if there was anything other than absolutely still air they would not operate as expected… Videos and more pictures after the jump. “Made from a discarded compost tumbler measuring 80 cm

Cooler Master’s GeminII

How much cooling do we need? This looks more automotive than a computer part… “So you think that your computer may be “heating up” a bit too much? Doom 3 and Half Life 2 are renowned for intensely heating up your PC. Even if you don’t have those and you feel a bit too much heat roaming inside your box, you could get your worries deleted with this massive boy.

Multigate FET technology creates faster, more efficient ICs

Is there any limit to how small circuits can get. It seems that whenever there is an obstacle a solution is found. Source: Electronic Products “Addressing the challenges in ever-shrinking ICs of maintaining functionality while consuming less energy in a smaller space, researchers at semiconductor solutions provider Infineon (Munich, Germany) have developed what is presented as the first complex circuit fabricated using 65-nm multigate FET (MGFET) technology. With a footprint

Kuka Juke Bot, the Robotic DJ

Want to be a DJ? You can go hands on with a modified Wiimote called the WiiJ. But when you get serious the Kuka industrial robotic DJ is the only way to go! Videos and more pictures after the jump. “The Juke Bot is a pair of Kuka industrial robots; each is surrounded by a set of platters (you know, vinyl LPs). The two bots act independently, deftly grasping an

100psi Hand Held Self Contained Air Cannon

Part of this video that we featured a short time ago was this Hand Held Self Contained Air Cannon. Now we can see some close up pictures and a detailed description of how it was made. What will come out of the FastMHz crazy high voltage lab next? We will have to wait and see… “This is a relatively simple device bodged together from junk I had around. Take some
