Here is a way you can rid yourself from trips to the gas station. Well this gasification system isn’t magic you would still need a fuel source such as wood shavings. This is a waste material from lots of manufacturing facilities though. Congrats to this project winning the $20,000 Craftsman tool contest! If you are interested in installing this power plant in to your car All Power Labs has
A light bulb and a neon transformer equals fun. Well actually I don’t think I would try that with bare hands, call me a coward… If you watch only one video make sure it is the 3rd one, you won’t be disappointed. Please don’t try this at home (or even at a friends house with a volunteer) there is a great possibility of electrocution. To see more of the
This small MP3 cube is a masterpiece in prototyping. An engineer from Japan who runs the Electronics Live Mfg (ELM) Website built this interesting concept device. I think some of the modern cell phones and possible some of the newer MP3 players already have this functionality but it is impressive to see one built from scratch. Simply rotate and tap in the direction you want to move within the
The Gun O’Clock product reminds me of the Phaser Blasted Alarm Clock that was featured in Make volume 8. Kipkay also did a weekend project based on it. There are so many cool clocks, I wonder which one works the best? I hope you can do math in your sleep with this math clock, or can run fast if you have a Clocky. There is some strange allure with
Limor has documented the process she used to expand the functionality of one of those off the shelf Kill-a-Watt power monitoring devices. Hacking into the Kill-a-Watt circuitry she added a wireless transmitter that is now able to sent data to a central collection receiver. "This project documents my adventures in learning how to wire up my home for wireless power monitoring. I live in a rented apartment so I
Green Power Science has made a simple DIY Hydrogen Generator. The thought was that it would be run from the alternator in your car and the Hydrogen would be pumped into the engine for combustion. I am no expert but I think the energy used to create the gas would be much greater than the energy that would be produced when burning the gas. What would be interesting though
If you still want to relive your Atari 2600 game playing days and simply modding your Atari 2600 controller isn’t enough then why not bring back the entire console by hacking it into a new form factor and use a new LCD screen on it? That is exactly what Kyo did, have a look at all the build details here. "It is true, you have heard me. I am
