This 5kV Induction Gun can shoot aluminum rings with some intense force. I have seen flying ring toys before which fly nice and straight. I wonder if the ring design is better than the typical bullet shaped projectiles we see on most of these guns. "First portable induction accelerator in Russia. Capacitor energy 500j 5kV voltage, ring speed about 200m/s "
One way to learn lots about a protocol is by implementing a bit banged version. Openschemes shares with us his experimentation with the Arduino and the FT232 chip. "We’ve been considering the synchronous bit bang mode of the FT232R for an upcoming project. The first steps towards something like this are always to build up a little debug board or test bench that can be used for debug and
Limitless Boredom has designed his own version of the Keepon Robot. There have been other Keepon clones out there but I must say that this one made with helicopter RC parts works quite good. Thanks Ruyck.
