Mission One 150 MPH EV Sport Bike

  Nice to see another company following the path that Tesla Motors did when making the Tesla Roadster. This new electric sport bike is a high performance electric vehicle made by Mission Motors. I am looking forward to see what other innovative vehicles come out in 2009. "It is the first production electric sportbike that features uncompromised performance and an iconic new design created by world-renowned designers Yves Béhar and

Interesting Verizon Math

  Not really related here but I know how frustrating this can be. What is so obvious to some of us can fly right over the heads of people who are "there to help". At least us who are working with electronics find it easy to slide decimals around since we need to do this for most calculations. I love when the support person says that they have a difference

Laser Pup - Internet Enabled Dog Toy

  This is a cool way to remotely drive your pet crazy! Turn on the lights and fly a laser dot around the room making your pet run around from across the world (or at least from the office).

Wooden Clock based on atmega168

I have seen some wooden clocks before but this Wooden Clock project is a nice DIY version with full instructions so that you can make your own. 🙂 "The anodes of the LEDs are attached to a cluster of 3 transistors. This is so the 1st transistor has the power

Reverse Engineering the Message Mate Spinning Display

It is a simple fan that operates using a small DC motor that is spun using three AA batteries. What makes it interesting is it also has a programmable LED display! Michael from Extreme NXT Reverse Engineered the Message Mate Spinning Display and is now sharing it with

iPhone using ioBridge to Monitor and Control Fish Tank

  It seems that this ioBridge module is getting quite popular. I haven’t played with one yet but I have already seen a cool iPod Touch controlled shooting range built with it, a toaster that is connected to Twitter, machine to feed your dog a treat through the internet and many more items every month. The video above is a by Pete from WaveJam Technologies, he has used an ioBridge

Water-Powered Jet Pack

  All I can say is WOW. Not much information seems to be available but it looks like the Water-Powered Jet Pack is tethered with water hoses to a tow-behind water pump. I would assume that the water pump would be a jet pump running on gas which could mean that you could have hours of fun flying around the lake. Via; Dvice "A new design for jet packs uses
