Now in it’s third iteration, the instrument consists of four independent single-stringed slide guitar units controlled by a motorized belt that moves a sliding bridge. The

3D Electrostatic Computer Interface

  Justin Schunick, Mark Hollenbeck, Luke Shaheen, Scott Gillette and Glenn Black from Northeastern University have created one of the coolest sensor system I have seen in a long time.

It can detect hand movements in 3space all around the tops of the sensors to provide an accurate position indication. At

The possibilities are endless for this cheap setup, I can imagine a security pass code that is not a code but rather a gesture within the 3space that the sensor field can

The sidecar solves this problem very well and provides a convenient place to

Latest Hard Drive Clocks

  I can’t believe that it has been over 3 and a half years since I made the first hard drive clock. Since then there have been lots of cool clocks created by some talented people. Jason Amsel and Konstantin Klitenikfrom from Cornell University came up with this hard drive clock version (2nd on page), they added a nice touch screen that can be used to set the time. Ian

3 Engine RC Truck

  I have seen lots of full size Competition Pull Tractors with multiple motors but I have never seen a RC truck with more than one motor. The RC result by Andy Tymowicz is one cool truck that has power to spare!

Wood Ferrari V12 Engine

  If you want this Wood Ferrari V12 Engine masterpiece you better work fast since this Ebay auction is coming to an end in about 4 days. The 400 hours of build time sure show, hopefully when it is sold the creator can purchase a new keyboard since it is obvious that his current one has a stuck caps key.
