I can’t wait to see some video of this electric bike conversion in action. TheWorkshop.ca has taken an old Suzuki dirt bike and hacked in a powerful electric motor. This isn’t a simple rip and bolt project that we have seen others perform, there was lots of machining and fabrication needed to get it to this stage.

"The effect uses rear-projection video, shined onto a screen of water vapor created by ultrasonic atomization, that is sandwiched between 2 laminar airflows, which keep the sheet of
You may remember the Grad Cap LED Hack that we had here last year, this Grad Gown LED hack uses a bunch of LEDs that are connected to an audio detection circuit that makes it into a VU meter! It is one of the entries in the Curious Inventor Contest, this is the last day of the contest so hurry to get an entry in. "I had an idea
OnlineUniversities.com has put together a list of 100 blogs that will make you smarter. The blog list is broken into 10 categories with 10 blogs in each one.
