This Dolmette Chinsaw Bike was built awhile ago but I never saw anything about the build. What a cool design! You got to love companies that have lots of money to throw around for fantastic projects like this. Video after the jump. "The combined power of 24 DOLMAR chainsaw engines is fed into to a 5-speed Harley-Davidson transmission by a series of twelve toothed belts. For use in the
Brett Raub created the coolest most powerful blender I have ever seen! He calls it the Top Fuel Blender since he uses it at the race track where he needs a blender that does not plug in. The motor is from an old weed wacker, the exhaust is an old toilet and there is a bunch of electronics that control the system and display. Since the blade system operates
The Arduino Microcontroller is taking the DIY community by storm. I have seen Arduino projects everywhere lately! Have a look at some of the links below for some cool project ideas. "Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from
If you want a bit more out of your iPhone have a look at this iPhone remote controller. English translation. "Controlling works easily with the help of 5 buttons on display. Four to control the direction of rotation of each wheel." Via: Zedomax
Some things just look wrong. This video is one of those things. Looking at the non-circular gear mechanisms at rest you would think that there would be no way it could turn and function. But the proof is in the video!
This ordinary looking hard drive when plugged into a USB port will mount 4 USB thumbdrives onto your computer. Cool idea to make some use of some old computer parts. It would have been cool if the drive would spin up when one of the drives were being accessed. "Using a dead Hard Drive, a 4-port USB hub, and a few Flash Drives, we will kill some time and
Book automated systems have a similar look but this Automated Book Scanning Robot called ScanBot seems like the scanning system it uses may be one of the best. It appears to use a vacuum to hold the page firmly against the moving scanning head. I wonder if it ever flips two pages at once? "The book scanner ScanRobot® has been developed for the digitization of huge book inventories. The
