In this GSR-Monkey (Skin Conductance Measurement System) Martin Sona uses the principle of galvanic skin response to plot some data onto a grid. Two people can be connected and monitored at the same time. I can imagine using this system as a two way lie detector, how often do you get to turn the tables when performing a lie detector test?

Thanks to Invisible Skinz for sponsoring the contest this week. They will be providing a lucky contest winner their choice of 3 invisible shields. For example you could get an invisible shield for your iPod, camera and laptop. Have a look at the demonstration video below for more information. If you can’t wait to win one you can get 15% off with the coupon code hackedgadgets42761. “At only 0.2 milligrams,
If you want to see what you are worth per hour this Minimum Wage Machine would be a great exercise. If you were making minimum wage in New York you would crank the handle and get a penny about every 5 seconds. Via: Zedomax “The minimum wage machine allows anybody to work for minimum wage. Turning the crank will yield one penny every 5.04 seconds, for $7.15 an hour (NY
I made a PWM Fan Controller to cool my external hard drive that got quite warm when it was running for an extended period of time. There are 4 videos documenting the build below. Have a look at the project page for the schematic, code and additional information. The heart of the PWM Fan Controller is a PIC 12F675 microcontroller. This microcontroller is reading the analog output of a LM35
Strobes are an effective way of creating atmosphere. Wizz Engineering designed a huge Strobe Array which used 24 small strobe lights that were controlled using custom DMX stage lighting equipment. “The Strobe Array is a matrix of 8 x 3 small 10W stroboscopes. Each strobe has a relay soldered into it which forces it to flash, and the relays are controlled independently by a MPLI DMX512 interface. Patterns where selected
Our friend Frank from theworkshop.ca has just completed the Dune Buggy Electric Conversion Part 4. We have been following this project right to the stage it is now, as in part 3 of the Dune Bug E build there was lots of fabrication. The machine is really taking shape now! The re-use of existing mechanical parts is great, it demonstrates that there is no need to always run out and
I have been getting such kick out of some of the creative items that are available in the Makers Market that I opened my own store! The store is not so creatively called the Hacked Gadgets Market. There are only two items in the store, one is a set of Electronic Component Coasters which are sure a conversation starter. The other item is a Computer Motherboard Clock which was fun
