Saga is a Chinese smart phone manufacturer, their process of phone construction looks quite impressive. There is a ton of testing done all along the way. Saga makes phones for lots of companies. After seeing all of the work that goes into making these phones it is hard to believe the price point they can sell them for.
If you are laying some floor tile and want to jazz up the look. Some inset LED strips might be just what you are looking for. Elektric-junkys.com has the items you need for this design. It is a lot of work but the end result is quite spectacular. Since the channels have the press in plastic strip maintenance is also easy since you can just pull out the plastic
CALEB KRAFT from Make shows us the Z6 Riot Control Baton that he built. The build cost would be low since most of the construction is out of PVC piping. The result is a great looking weapon. It has actually been enhanced with a bit of high voltage danger for some extra fun. An internal spring allows the unit to spring into action.
Allen Pan built this great looking Flaming Lightsaber. He got the inspiration from Tesla Down Under. By igniting some spraying methylated spirit the effect is a great looking flame.
Bigclivedotcom takes a look at how a 11kV Lightning Arrester works. When high voltage lines take a lightening hit they attempt to short it to ground to prevent passing the huge spike in voltage on down the line. The technique used is similar to what is done in a power bar on a big scale. When a high enough voltage is present in the line side a stack
If you are looking for a cool looking wall hanging that could be created with a knife, or better yet a laser cutter check out this project ides. Various layers of craft board are used to create a depth design that has an interesting effect when it is lit in layers. A nice small microcontroller and some LEDs is all you need on the electronic side of things.
Love the Nordic Semiconductor tradeshow display, a big bucket of chips. Nordic is making a powerful ARM Cortex-M0 chip that can be integrated into many items. They have a cool example of doing IPv6 over BTLE. At a cost of a dollar or two I think we will see these in everything. They already sell about 500,000 of these chips per day! “Nordic Semiconductor is playing a key
