Weiss from Volunteer Lab Rats posted a cool picture of an old Electric Cannon in the forum. As you know we love coil guns around here! I didn’t realize that this idea had been around for this long though. I would love to see how the coil sequencing circuit was designed back then, I am thinking it would be completely mechanical. It could be as simple as the projectile
All I can say is WOW. Not much information seems to be available but it looks like the Water-Powered Jet Pack is tethered with water hoses to a tow-behind water pump. I would assume that the water pump would be a jet pump running on gas which could mean that you could have hours of fun flying around the lake. Via; Dvice "A new design for jet packs uses
Kroby has made a cool GSM Controlled Car Alarm System for his entry to the PIC32 design challenge. Have a look at the video below to see it in action. Have a look at all of the other entries here. "Nowdays stealing of cars is a great problem. Unfortunately, car alarm systems, which are in circulation gives not enough security. In my project I try to update these systems
Here is a way you can rid yourself from trips to the gas station. Well this gasification system isn’t magic you would still need a fuel source such as wood shavings. This is a waste material from lots of manufacturing facilities though. Congrats to this project winning the $20,000 Craftsman tool contest! If you are interested in installing this power plant in to your car All Power Labs has
A light bulb and a neon transformer equals fun. Well actually I don’t think I would try that with bare hands, call me a coward… If you watch only one video make sure it is the 3rd one, you won’t be disappointed. Please don’t try this at home (or even at a friends house with a volunteer) there is a great possibility of electrocution. To see more of the
This small MP3 cube is a masterpiece in prototyping. An engineer from Japan who runs the Electronics Live Mfg (ELM) Website built this interesting concept device. I think some of the modern cell phones and possible some of the newer MP3 players already have this functionality but it is impressive to see one built from scratch. Simply rotate and tap in the direction you want to move within the
DoctorBass showed is that he can jump start his car using a powerful battery pack that can fit in the palm of your hand. He is also into building Powerful Electric Bikes. This is one impressive battery pack with some wheels bolted to them. 🙂 Have a look at the battery pack specs below!
