If you have a project that needs a bit more than 3.3, 5 or 12 volts have a look at this Home Made 250 kV High Voltage DC Power Supply! Of course this isn’t your typical supply for the Arduino project sitting on the corner of your bench. 🙂 One thing to note is that this supply can pack a deadly punch so be very careful if you intend
Laser shows are really cool, Matt from Openschemes cracks into one to show us what the inside looks like. “The device under investigation will be the CASA CTL-BM RGV Laser Show. This is a 3-beam laser projector with Red, Green, and Blu-Ray Violet lasers. It’s legal status for commercial use is doubtful at best, and the safety aspects are extremely suspect due to the use of DPSS green and
 This Spatial Sounds interactive audio installation could hurt if you get a little close! Thanks to Koen Coppens shot some video of it in action and sending it in. “Spatial Sounds (100dB at 100km/h) is an interactive audio installation by Marnix de Nijs and Edwin van der Heide. In this engine-powered installation, a speaker is mounted onto a rotating arm that is several meters long. Like a watchdog,
Check out this new robotic car that has been developed in France by the team from IFSTTAR and the Embedded Electronic Systems Research Institute at ESIGELEC. The goal of the two groups is to develop an autonomous car which would help us be safer in our cars. Researchers can control the car speed and its trajectory through an on-board computer system. The researchers drives the car with the help of
Researchers at MIT’s Media Lab have developed an imaging system that can capture visual data at a rate of 1 TFPS. With such a speed of visual data acquision, the researchers were able to create virtual super-slow-motion videos of light particles traveling and scattering through space. The technique to create the videos relies on what’s called a streak camera. The complete virtual slow-motion movies are created by stitching together each scan
As most of you know I love LEDs! But even I can’t imagine working at a place like Light Energy Studio. This place has a showroom that would make non epileptics has a seizure from all the blinking goodness. 🙂 I guess if you are looking to do some interior design in a night club (or my basement) this would be the place to go. They make some great looking
This Rave Rover is a cool build and it is very well documented so you can see all the details of the system and how it was done. They are using a ton of high power RGB LED modules that can be controlled via SPI. The control of the LEDs is being done with an Arduino. Thanks to a very sturdy frame, some pneumatics and a few wheel chair motors
