Knowing the current weather condition is nice. Instead of turning on the TV and turning to the weather channel why not spend a few weekends and build your very own DIY Weather Station Project. It is based on the PIC 18F452 microcontroller and has great documentation. “Weather station with pressure reading, relative humidity, indoor & remote outdoor temperature display.Both Celsius or Fahrenheit & mbar/hPa or mm Hg supported. With calendar
I love complex machines that take lots of complex technology to perform a simple task. This Nickel-O-Matic Robot waits for a coin and then uses tons of servos and stepper motors to print a cool message on a wooden token. "The system was built as a number of modules to make design and trouble shooting simpler. The most complex of the modules is the inkjet system. At the center
Having the capability of data logging is a great trouble shooting resource. Often a meter with min/max capability is connected to circuits that are suspected to act up from time to time to prove that something strange is happening. However even when you know there is an intermittent issue wouldn’t it be nice to know what exactly happened and when. With this Analog Data Logger Project you would not
We all remember the Will it Blend videos, now we can say Can Water Cut It. These guys use a Flow Waterjet to have all sorts of fun. If you ever wanted to see a laptop cut in half, a golf club in half or a blender cut in half Can Water Cut It is the right site for you. 🙂 "What makes waterjets so popular? Waterjets require few
This LEGO Rock Crawling Truck looks impressive since it is built with the delicate LEGO blocks and pieces that we all played with when we were young. This truck not only looks good but is shown in some interesting positions that prove that it articulates very well on rough uneven terrain. Via: dansdata.blogsome.com
I would love to have a secret trap door somewhere in the house, not sure it would be filled with wine since I probably don’t even have a bottle in the house right now. I think my secret cellar would be filled with servers and other technology. Only problem with that would be if the authorities ever found it, they would never think that it was installed just for
This Desktop Energy Seed Lamp is interesting. It uses old batteries as a power source. All of the batteries are put in parallel using two large metal plates and a jewel thief circuit (I prefer the rusty nail implementation though) is used to create the larger voltage needed to power the LED circuit. As long as the batteries all have about the same amount of charge left the circuit
