Are you looking for a project that will let you take control of the lighting around you? Look no further than the Glo Control. “Glow Control is an Android app that couples to an Arduino-based controller over Bluetooth allowing for control of various tasks including Landscape / Patio LED lights. Â You can either schedule the zones to turn on / off within a time range, or use a light
Got a computer that locked up and lost all of your precious data? We have all seen this guy who is not having a great time with his computer. Next time this happens to you why give your computer the easy way out? Why not try a bit of torture! That is exactly what Photonicinduction shows us when he performs some Microwaved Computer Torture! While this might look like
What do you guys think? Is this real or bogus. It would be very simple to fake since you could simply tie in a regular battery somewhere in circuit but with new capacitor technology I am thinking this could be real? The caps that are being used are 350F!! That is crazy but the total amount of energy available is not as much as a regular lead acid battery
This Morphing Table Surface (PDF) by professor Hiroshi Ishii and his students, Sean Follmer, Daniel Leithinger, Alex Olwal and Akimitsu Hogge is one of the most intuitive morphing surfaces I have ever seen. Not only are your gestures duplicated on the interactive surface, there is also an image mapped onto the duplicated surface. Via: dailypicksandflicks.com “Past research on shape displays has primarily focused on rendering content and user interface
 When the power fails you could look for the candles that are tucked away in the kitchen drawer, but why not have a Rechargeable Waterproof Bottle Lamp on standby? ASCAS mounted a charging jack and switch to the lid of a medium sized jar, this is connected to a battery and a 3 watt LED. A small 5mm red LED is used to indicate when it is charging
