These snow and ice speakers are not you everyday outdoor speakers. I am sure the 2007 Michigan Tech Winter Carnival had no shortage of good music with these things belting out the tunes. “As part of a statewide snow sculpture competition, some Michigan Technological University students have added balance to the millennia of snow angel production–through the evils of rock. System includes: Source Member’s computer with optical out, s/pdif Processing
Ever wonder how induction heating worked? Me too… Penguin Labs has an informative article about some of their experiments. “Induction cookers, furnaces, stoves and all that jazz are now widely used. You put your metal saucepan on top of an innocent looking glass plate and it magically heats your food with no flame and almost no waste heat. They are able to heat certain metals up to their melting points,
Want to be a DJ? You can go hands on with a modified Wiimote called the WiiJ. But when you get serious the Kuka industrial robotic DJ is the only way to go!

The two bots act independently, deftly grasping an

What will come out of the FastMHz crazy high voltage lab next? We will have to wait and see… “This is a relatively simple device bodged together from junk I had around. Take some
Hacked Gadgets friend FastMHz has been busy doing all sorts of experiments, and this crazy mad scientist has captured it on tape for our enjoyment! Not sure if all fingers and toes are still accounted for, I think I would be hiding (cowering) behind something solid for most of these tests. 🙂 After watching the video those wall mounted can crushers seem so useless, I want to crush cans using
Here is a list of 5 cool coil guns, either one would be fun to try out. Remember that coil guns can be dangerous, if you build one and shoot out your eye don’t say you weren’t warned.
Combine a microwave, a grape and some science, shake well and have fun! Hacked Gadget reader Bladel sent in a few links to some videos they made of a similar experiment. They placed a candle under a glass in the microwave for some similar action. “Take a seedless grape and slice it lengthwise, making sure (this part is important) not to cut all the way through, so you leave
