This Robots Pulls up to 2,000 Times Its Weight! It is tiny like an insect and like many insects they can control massive amounts of weight in comparison to their weight. We need to see this technology applied to dragsters, say goodbye to wheel slip. Via: TheVerge  “The super-strong bots – built by mechanical engineers at Stanford University in California – will be presented next month at the International Conference
 Jerry Biehler is working on a Vacuum System for Deposition. It was removed from a university and needed quite a bit of work. Looks like there is still a lot of things to be done but it is sure a nice looking piece of equipment! “So, some of the specs: • 26″ Stainless bell jar, appears to be a Cha. The lower ring looks to have been added
Fuel injectors are in all modern vehicles but you have probably not played with one since it is not a common replacement item. Jeremy Lang demonstrates his Fuel Injector Test system and shows off how an injector works. If you are interested in building your own Jeremy has made the build details available here (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lw8dl8vt7igtgxh/AADgvF_Ska-24dXnZktGyuZPa?dl=0).
The prize this week is a HMC5883L Triple Axis Compass Magnetometer Sensor so you can add some directionality to your next project. This contest will run for one week (April 25- May 1, 2015). Ending time is based on central standard time. To enter, identify the item above and what it can be used for. Please do not give the answer in the comments. Send an email to contest
Gravi Capa is building a great looking Arduino Mega based speedometer and tachometer. It is still a work in progress and hopefully Gravi shares all the build details when he is complete. You can see the display performing a self test above and a rev test below when he tied it into his Honda motorcycle. The LED based display should look great in all lighting conditions!
Louis Rossmann shows us how he troubleshoots a Dead Macbook Pro Logic Board. He goes deep into the diagnosis using his microscope and a nice big monitor to nicely view the schematic. You can tell that he has been through this circuit many times since it seems to be a familiar as the back of his hand. “Here I diagnose a board that has issues on PP3V42_G3H which caused issues with the
There are quite a few camera gimbal projects around. They allow for smooth fluid video capture even when hand held or mounted to things like quad copters. You can purchase kits and fully assembled systems but by looking at a few and getting an idea of the basics you should have enough knowledge to build your own.Â
