If you are looking to make a silent PC getting rid of the CPU fan is a big step forward. Have a look at this Ion Cooler CPU Heat Sink for some ideas. “After tinkering around one afternoon I came up with the concept for this little project. I have personally been using this in a specialized system I have for over 2 months now and haven’t had a single
Dr Acula shows you how to create a good start at a powerful and low cost home automation system. If home automation isn’t your thing then how about a wild Christmas light show controlled by some software on your computer. Using the Picaxe microcontroller gives you a head start in the development of this system. “This Instructable shows you how to interface a PC and microcontroller. This demo will sense
Have a look at this High School Peltier Cooling system, the bars make it look real high tech. Have a look here for more information about peltier devices. “This little project is what really got me excited in engineering way back in High School. Two other students and I decided to build a computer cooling system that fit in 2 cd-rom slots and cooled he air entering the case. In
If you can get your hands on a Rand McNally GPS this Rand McNally GPS Hack will show you how to get the serial data out of it. Since these GPS devices are quite old now they should be quite cheap. Does anyone know of a cheaper serial GPS solution? If so please share it with me. 🙂 “Buy a RandMcNally GPS for the Palm III from http://www.randmcnally.com The GPS
If you are wanting to add some bass to your home theater why build a Huge Rubik’s Cube Subwoofer! It isn’t as big as this gigantic subwoofer but it looks a lot more fun. "Sealed Enclosure: 3 Cu. Feet Driver Diameter: 15", Aluminum Cone Outer Enclosure: 3/4" MDF Shell with 3/4" MDF ’tiles’ overlaying it, forming the Rubik’s Squares Reinforcement: 1 Y/Z-Axis piece of 3/4" MDF, cut to
If you have ever wanted to play with some fiber optics here is a Fiber Optic LED Rose Project that you could try out. Nice to see some of my LEDs were used to make a cool project! Parts Needed: “Wires, solder, and soldering gun (of course) 1 green led (I used 6000mcd) – Found online 1 red led (6000mcd) – Found online On-Off Switch – (a few bucks at
Have a look at this cool PIC 12F683 Microcontroller Based Logic Probe. “The purpose of this device is to test a wire to determine the logic state. Two LEDs show the logic state as either high, low, or high impedance (aka floating). Simply attach the ground probe to any ground connection of the circuit you want to test, then touch the test probe to the signal you want to test.
