Talk about lots of detail. The Chopper Case Mod is a piece of art that I would be proud to have housing my components. “Now this is a computer case mod. The folks at Colorado-based Chopper Computers design cases that look like sexed up choppers motorcycle, complete with custom paintjobs and, by the look of this photo, your very own motorcycle mama. It doesn’t look like they’ve gotten past creating
There are fill schematics and board layout for this powerful DIY amplifier that is based on the LM3886 chip. Looks like it is built like a tank. “This amp is based on the PA100 parallel amplifier detailed in National Semiconductor’s application note – AN1192. This amp uses two LM3886 per channel, in parallel circuit. This amp can deliver about 50W into a 8-ohm speaker and 100W into a 4-ohm speaker.
You may remember the paper camera that was featured some time ago. The author has put together a number of interesting videos that show the camera in action.
Megamachine from the Hacked Gadgets forum has made his version of the Hard Drive Oscilloscope. Watch some videos of it in action: Video 1 Video 2 Video 3
The guys over at Mondo Technology are at it again. If you have some PIC chips left over from your last project why not control a high voltage Marshmallow Bazooka ignition system with it. “This device uses a PIC12F629 to create a burst of 30 high voltage pulses. The PIC activates a 1000 volt N-Chan FET driving a standard ignition coil. After the ignition, the PIC goes dormant until activated
Want to stay cool and loose some weight? Why not make a fan that is powered by sugar. That is what some researchers at the University of Birmingham have done. “The scientists fed leftover caramel and nougat (mmm, nougat) to sugar-loving bacteria, which release hydrogen and organic acids as they eat. The organic acids were then fed to a second type of hydrogen-producing bacteria, and the combined hydrogen production of
If you are in need of a CNC machine but don’t have the cash to buy one, why not make your own? Engadget has part 1 of an article explaining how to build your own CNC machine. “Computer controlled mills have been around for a long time. If you just want to buy oneone, Sherline makes mills that are ready to go (pictured is their CNC ready model — just
