Everyone is looking for alternate energy sources these days. I think this is one that is almost always left untapped. 🙂 Just think of all the wasted power when the pet hamster is doing his thing with the hamster wheel. You can now do something to harness all that wasted energy, build yourself a Hamster Powered Generator! "The first criteria we needed to design the alternator was an estimate
This Canadian inventor from Antigravity Research who holds the world record in bottle rocket launches wants to launch a rocket into orbit! Is it possible? After watching some videos and poking around the inventors site I am thinking that if it is possible that Antigravity Research will be the company to do it. Watch the videos for an example of this powerful technology. "They’re made by attaching plastic
There are many products that will allow you to hook up your latest audio gear to your car stereo but none of them will give you the sound quality of this Ford Ranger MP3 Radio AUX Input MOD. "I recently purchased a new cell phone and wanted to play my MP3’s in my truck. My truck has the factory radio in it and did not alow me to do this.
This Gun Robot project can monitor the entrance to your fortress and ward away any enemy attacks! The servo action seems nice and smooth, next step would be to make it IP based so that you could have the unit at work and control it from home. 🙂 "The bot is totally controlled by an external joysitck or joypad. The app uses DirectX DirectInput to get the data from
We know that you can make a cool clock scope, but have you ever seen a video game played on a scope? Well have a look at Scopetris! It seems that one scope manufacturer actually put the game in the firmware of the scope. "The two resistor ladders, interfacing ports on the AtMega32, were connected to an oscilloscope in X/Y mode. The position of the beam was thus
Matt Mets is on a quest to make lots of cool hacks day after day! This Arduino based Drum Loop Machine is simple but nice and clever. Using a bunch of scavenged parts (the best kind) and an Arduino microcontroller he has made a drum recording device that will play back the same sequence that was recorded into it. He provides will source code and a schematic of the project.
What a great idea to get some cool aerial pictures on a small budget. The uncontrolled flight aspect of the balloon adds to the excitement since no one knows exactly where the rig is going to go. With aerial RC plane videos everything is under control and there is little left to chance. As shown with this Berlin Balloon Project Launch the rig could not be located and it
