There are lots of cool instruments that can be played but normally you are limited to enjoying one at a time. Patrick Flanagan has that concept licked with his Jazari Musical Instrument. He is able to control an entire room full of instruments by creating loops on them using his unusual looking hand interface. It uses accelerometers to detect the position of his hand and adjusts the instruments sound accordingly.
The guys over at Super Touch have made a Dodgeball game that uses the Kinect, an iPhone and an iPad to play. The game uses a bunch of technology starting with the way the game modes are selected. There is no start button on the controller, the team has opted for a cube with modes printed on it to select game modes. The cube has an accelerometer, an Arduino and
Having a cool tool like a CNC machine is great but unless it can make something that looks fantastic it is as valuable as a paperweight. The Egg-Bot is a interesting machine which has a limited functionality since it is designed to draw with markers on Eggs (or egg shaped items). Eastern Eggs has designed some crazy designs which really showcase the capability of the machine and WOW do the
Our friend Bob Davis has been working on a new version of his DIY Earthquake Detection which monitors magnetic fields to attempt to predict earthquakes. This new design is using UGN3503 hall effect devices and an Arduino. “I came up with this idea over 10 years ago because animals behave strangely before earthquakes. They know something is about to happen. I also know animals can navigate magnetically. If you put
I thought I had seen the coolest way to kill the data on a CD which was linked on this article. But watch the video above to see the new coolest way to kill a CD. A high voltage is generated on either side of a spinning CD and it jumps the gap by using the path of least resistance which in this case is the spinning CD. Of course
Now that spring has arrived you might be looking for something new to build that can be used outside. Why not make something that can be used to protect your property in a non-lethal way? We have see lots of sentry guns over the years but quite a few of them has closed source code. This Sentry Gun Project has code that has been released which is sure to help
Remember all the people warning you never to look directly at the sun because you will go blind. Well believe me when I say do not look into the barrel of this gun because it will make you blind. This DIY Pulse Laser Gun was built by Patrick Priebe who you might remember from the Iron Man Repulsor Light Laser Glove Project. This is what you get when you convert
