Youtube user NOBOX7 has been documenting some of his DIY Air Dart Gun build process. It is a work in progress but the power the dart gun can provide is quite impressive given its relatively small size. Watch the 3rd video to see the gun in action. Just like a spud gun, this is a dangerous project so if you decide to build your own be very careful.
There are some battery chargers that you can buy which have some built in smarts but the standard ones are basically a large transformer and some large rectifier diodes. The main issue with the basic charger design is that if they are left connected to the battery for a long duration they will overcharge the battery. Instead of paying the big bucks have a look at the design that Razor
Mark Frauenfelder, Editor of Make Magazine and Adam Savage, who hosts Mythbusters will be be putting on an event that you need to put on your calendar if you are in the area. I am told that Fora will be filming the event so if you can’t make it there you will still be able to watch the event. Thanks Michel. “You know that guy or girl who can make
This Arduino Steampunk Analog Watch that Matthew Garten built looks fun to use. The video below shows the unit in action with the Biopunk Edition enclosure. I think that the Steampunk version (pictured above) looks much better myself though. There is no shortage of functions either, you can play some games in your downtime. Thanks for the tip Greg. “The materials used in making the watch are Electronics 1 Arduino
With a few LEDs and some creativity you can put together some very impressive effects. The guys over at Freddiew’s Blog have put together a great video and a how to so that you can make your own LED Light Painting video. Via: Laughing Squid “It’s easy! Here’s what you need: A camera that can do long exposures, or has a “bulb†mode. You can do this with a camera
Congrats to the guys at YourITronics, their BlueRover robot won 1st place in the Digilent Design Contest. `The idea of a remote controlled rover excites almost every electronics student and when we heard about the Digilent contest we realized that we have the possibility to make such a project real. We decided to build our own remote controlled rover but it had to be different from what we’ve seen before. We came up with
Thanks to Dangerous Prototypes for sponsoring the contest this week. They will be providing a project that most of you have already seen! You will be able to test your own storage to death with your very own Flash Destroyer. The current count is just shy of 10 million which is my failure guess. If it doesn’t go soon who knows when it will fail. If you can’t wait you
