Justin Cole, Kris Williams, Chad Dickman, and Todd Sanderson of West Virginia University Institute of Technology just completed their Suzuki GT 750 Electric Motorcycle Conversion. Looks like it turned out real good. Even though the power of the motor that was removed would have been much more powerful the new 8 HP electric motor does get this thing moving at a nice speed. "Motor Briggs and Stratton Etek-R Model
I have seen some big RC model planes before but this one is huge! I can just imagine the time and money invested into this thing. I would hate to even attempt to take it up for its first flight since I would be terrified of crashing it into a million pieces. My hat goes off to the workmanship that went into this marvelous machine.
This DIY Electronic Meat Thermometer project will not only have you end up with a cooking thermometer in the end bit you will also learn some signal processing techniques. "To passionate chefs, cooking is an art. Knowing exactly when a cut of meat is cooked to perfection requires knowing your meat and your grill. But with a little bit of technology, we can build a digital meat thermometer, and
You may remember the Hexapod Robot that Matt Denton built. I think this new Chiara Robot could give Matt a run for his money as far as features and power. Chiara was developed at Carnegie Mellon University’s Tekkotsu lab, best of all it will be manufactured and sold by RoPro Design, Inc. David Touretzky, Gaku Sato, Ethan Tira-Thompson, and David Rice have done a great job on this system.
This Arduino Oscilloscope project is a great idea. For people that are getting into electronics having a meter is good but having a scope is great. With this project you can take your $30 Arduino board and turn it into a oscilloscope, it won’t show you great detail or very fast circuits but often times that is not needed. "This software allows you to get a visual representation of
From what I hear the Toyota Prius is a fantastic hybrid car however the car does not come with a plug to charge it from an electrical outlet. Nikki has changed that by installing some extra batteries and a charging system so that she can plug the car in at night and top up the batteries.

There is something about a tube amp that is very cool. Even though you can buy a small transistor based amplifier on a chip for a few dollars the old tube method of creating sound has some magical draw. I don’t own a tube amp but this Stereo Tube Amp Project is now available as a kit so I guess now there is no excuse. 🙂 “Ever wanted to build
