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

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
Just because the Xbox360 Chatpad wasn’t designed to work with the PSP doesn’t mean that some creative and skilled people can’t make it happen! The PSP Phat and Slim Keyboard is proof of that. "Hey all talk a look at my Microsoft Xbox360 Chatpad connected to my PSP Phat and Slim. Thanks to Jean over at ps2dev.org and this project that he developed we can all have nice keyboards
