If you have one of these View-Masters you might want to bring it into the modern day, have a look at this LCD Screen Hacked View-Master by Hackerconsortium. Thanks Tuttle “Long gone are the days of light shining through celluloid images on a disk… Long gone! Why this little feller here has Two, count them, 2 Colby 1.5 inch digital key chain picture frames lined up with each lens to
This is one very cool looking Propeller Clock Build! It is based on the ATmega324P and was programmed in BASCOM-AVR. There is more information in this forum post (translator needed). Unlike my Spinning Display project this one does not have wire connections to power the rotating section instead it uses induction to power the spinning section. Thanks for the tip Muris.
Our good friend Bob Davis has been doing some more high voltage tinkering. He has been working on another High Voltage Washer Launcher, this is a new and improved version of some of his past high voltage projects. If you are just looking for some explosive fun have a look at 4:35 and 5:45. I love the use of the safety broom. 🙂 “My old 8 capacitor power supply is
Amit Pate, a graduate of Computer Science from Vishveshwarya Technological University developed SixthSense which is a Gesture Controlled Computing Device. We have seen similar Gesture Controlled Devices before, with the cost being only around $300 this could be something we see commercialized in the near future. Via: HG Comments “In a simple way, a gesture-controlled wearable computing device that feeds you relevant information and turns any surface into an interactive
Most of us have seen the game of life, and those programmers among us have probably had to implement this game in code. Windell Oskay and Lenore Edman of Evil Mad Scientists Laboratories have made a huge version of this game for a new exhibit at the San Jose Museum of Art. I can see they got lots of use out of their laser cutter in the making of the
I am lucky to live in Manitoba where we have an excess of hydro electric power that is sold to our neighboring provinces and states. I have not been impacted with the results of my electrical grid being shut down due to excess demand. Our friend David Pedersen from Volunteer Lab Rat has devised an Intelligent Power Consumption Adjustment Device which would help to remedy the issue many places have
Monitoring power lines can be done by people but it is a time consuming and expensive. It’s a job that needs to be done because of inventions like the Bat Hook Power Tap. Hydro-Québec Research Institute and BC Transmission Corporation have developed a robot that is capable of inspecting these lines while they are still powered. That’s not a big deal right since the power lines is a perfect platform
