The Suzuk-E Electric Bike build continues. The last time they did some cool Gear Casting using CNC and Foam. This time they added some active cooling to the electric motor and used a CNC machine to make some stencils, constructed a custom LED Dimmer Circuit and lots of other fun projects. “Over the course of several road and trail runs the motor temps were topping 100F as measured in the
We have seen some very cool car hacks in the past but this iPhone Controlled Mazda RX-8 by Jonathan Oxer takes the cake. Using a wi-fi connected iPhone the user can connect to a computer in the car which is connected to the net using a separate internet connection. With this setup the user can now open doors, start the engine, monitor all of the car stats such as RPM
As we all know past knowledge narrows some of our creative thinking when attempting to solve a problem. This is not the case for the designs created by Bill Gross, he uses genetic algorithms to help him evolve solutions by having computers churn through billions of possible solutions while closing on optimal designs. He created IdeaLab to allow these ideas to come to life. Have a look at the
Looks like motor technology and battery technology have finally evolved to the point where electric planes will be viable. With a few hour charge this electric airplane will give you 1 hour of flight time. The 75 volt battery pack delivers 200A of current to lift off and a full charge takes about $0.75 of electricity! "We have converted my single place, all metal Moni motor glider into a small,

I must say the planning is fantastic and even though he didn’t do all of the work himself he coordinated the installation very well. Have a look at the video, the end result is great.

This tree processing machine is some piece of work! I have seen lots of huge machines that allow a logger to use a joystick in a air conditioned cabin instead of use a chainsaw to fall trees but I have never seen one that was this all encompassing. The only thing it is missing is a conveyor belt that would transport the tree sections directly onto a waiting trailer.
Dana Mattocks has put together one of the coolest Steampunk Computers I have ever seen. Have a look at the pictures, there is intense detail on every inch of this beast of a computer.
