If you have see the DIY Pulse Laser Gun or the Iron Man Repulsor Light Laser Glove Project then with one look at this Laser Targeting Wrist Mounted Crossbow you would know that Patrick Priebe was the mad man behind it. Watch the video below to see it shooting balloons, cans and light bulbs. I would think that a micro video camera mounted on the glove would make for some
Luis Cruz just graduated from high school but don’t let his young age fool you, he is already developing some very serious systems. His low cost eye tracking system uses Electrooculography to detect the movements of a person’s eyes. This then allows a person to control an electronic or computer system just by looking around. He has also received some CNN coverage, see the CNN video below. Read about the
I am honored that this stair lighting video of our stair lighting controller kit inspired Youtube user Notcranium to build his own. His is based on an Arduino and he has used RGB lights to jazz things up a bit. Great looking stairs Notcranium! At an electrical cost of around $2 per year you sure can’t beat the effect and not having to keep a stairwell light on all the
I don’t think I will be building this DIY Induction Heater that Rich from RM Cybernetics built since I am still nursing a burnt finger from a stupid soldering iron incident. 🙂 But if you are careful this could be an interesting project. We have featured a few DIY induction heaters here before and the results are incredible. Not exactly the safest project to create but there are lots of
I am sure Light o Rama (who happens to he DIY friendly) loves the holidays. When people like Youtube user KJ92508 from Riverside, CA places an order they are sure to break out the huge shipping boxes. The capability of the system looks amazing but it should considering there are 1144 channels out lighting outputs controlling the lights! “Most all lights have been changed from incandescent to RGB LED so
I was just catching up on some episodes of The Amp Hour and heard about this DIY Pick and Place Machine by Build Your Own CNC Router Machine. I love the fact that the entire thing has been constructed from everyday items. It isn’t the fastest thing but I love machines that you can program and walk away and get something else done while it completes the task. If you
We have seen a few Rotating POV Globe in the past. Scitech has a Arduino based Rotating POV Globe which looks quite nice, the refresh rate of the camera screws up the effect a bit but I assume it looks perfect in real life. “The Rotating POV Globe utilizes the arduino uno as the central control brain which contains an Atmel AVR microcontroller. Essentially we have a rotating ring which
