This is not the Prius of electric cars. The X1 was designed for one purpose, to go fast. “Wrightspeed builds extreme performance electric supercars. With advanced electric drive train technology, our cars raise the performance driving experience to a new level – while still returning 3 times better energy efficiency than the most efficient cars available. Wrightspeed is building the X1, demonstrable today in a street-legal prototype, using lithium-ion batteries
If you are into photography you need to have a look at this site. Lasers, cameras and LEDs are a good mix! “The design begins with construction of a laser module. It is set up to contain 8 laser pointers, plus an additional IR (infrared) laser. This allows for sufficient expansion for other uses, including general high speed photography. A detector is provided for each laser. By pulsing the lasers,
Check out the cool coil gun projects at Another Coilgun Site. Near the end of the video you will see the coil hand gun! This thing is computer controlled using a microcontroller for enhanced operation. “At last!! A functioning example of the combined wants in a coilgun pistol. You always see posts for this and that, read how if it could do such and such and the inevitable plans on
We have all see Nixie Tube clocks and at first this might seem like it is simply another. Well that is where you would be wrong. This clock is made using only tubes! “Also cold-cathode tubes, which found use in former times gladly in ring counters (organs, etc.), were not intended. The counting stages should be developed only with completely classical flip-flop stages. The 1-second pulse should be won most
1. 32 RGB LED Magic Ball With a bunch of RGB (Red Green Blue) LEDs you can make a real cool display. This one was made using a Microchip 16F628 microcontroller and serial to parallel converter chips since the 16F628 doesn’t have 32 outputs. 2. SPIN Talk about life size. The SPIN display is massive and has a nice effect. “We’ve all seen a train or a car whizzing past
Imagine watching a scary movie in here! The Bat Home Theater Room is one fantastic home theater. “The client in the case of the Batcave was a retired naturalist who had an interesting house that DCAVS vice president Nick Mark thought would lend itself well to a themed home theater. Before she retired, the client did a lot of work and research that involved visiting caves in upstate New York
Here is some action from Robocup which is being held in Germany this year. “The RoboCup Federation and its German section, the German RoboCup Association have authorised the the HVG Hanseatische Veranstaltungs-GmbH, Division MESSE BREMEN and the Center for Computing Technologies (TZI) of the University of Bremen to host the RoboCup 2006 World Championships.”
