At first glance you would think this was a normal remote control vehicle with two wheels but you would be wrong because the rotating wheels aren’t actually touching the ground. This Angular Momentum Experiment by from JCOPRO.NET shows us the results of some experiments made from some scrap parts and some household items. Via: Hack A Day Comments “This was pretty much thrown together, so I won’t lay out the
If you love to build your own computer system and pimp them out you should check out the new show called Mod Men. They take some stock computer parts and mash them into some cool creations. Custom paint, milling machines and more is what they use to take ordinary computer systems over the top. My favorite part of the first 2 episodes is at 9:04 of episode 2 where they
Chein from Malaysia has built this great looking Self Balancing Domo Robot. I am not going to let my daughter see it because she recently wouldn’t leave me alone until I found her a Domo bag. Not sure what the Domo craze is all about but I am starting to see these things everywhere. The wobbling motion of the robot is cool looking. When I was watching the video I
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
It can be challenging to get motivated to keep on a consistent exercise routine. I find it much easier to get into the groove when there is something interesting to keep your mind active. Lior Elazary has developed a great Interactive Punching Bag which is based around an Arduino microcontroller system. The sensor is a great idea and could be made from a few things around the house (assuming you
Victor from Roteno Labs has built this Earthquake Sounder based on the 555 Timer called the Terremoto as a submission to the 555 Timer Contest that is running right now. The project is very interesting and yes the 555 Timer isn’t doing any of the heavy lifting in the project and isn’t the most efficient way to make sound but it is an interesting use of the device. “The ECO
Hack A Day had a cool contest where the goal was to build a Walking Santa. You can see the entries and winners here. There were lots of cool hacks but I like this one by Adam Outler the best. An Arduino controls the new Santa robot and some transistors are used to power the existing Santa motors. The new and improved Santa looks a bit mad but he has
