Aircraft hangers are usually very large simple buildings that house millions of dollars worth of airplanes. A small fire can quickly damage the contents of the building. Fuel storage containers are pretty scary when they burn out of control. The key is to have a fast reaction to fire and hit it with an effective suppression material. These videos are interesting due to the large scale. I think they
 If you hate when you don’t have a partner to play ping pong with you why not build a robot. Ulf Hoffmann is an industrial mechanic and has some creative ideas. His Ping Pong Robot (translated) is quite amazing, you can see it in action above. The videos below demonstrate the building blocks to get to where the robot is today. Via: Laughing Squid
When you get tired of flying a regular hexcopter why not kick things up a notch and install a stun gun on the thing to protect your property! “In the video above, CUPID (short for Chaotic Unmanned Personal Intercept Drone) takes down an intern. He doesn’t get up with ease.”
Adafruit recently took on production of the Fadecandy project that Elizabeth Scott developed. The video above is How the Fadecandy LED Controller is Made using the automated PCB production machines. There are 3 basic machines in the equipment path, the panelized PCB goes through a solder paste machine where a laser etched stencil is used to put solder in just the right locations. The board is then moved through
If you are taking very low resistance measurements you have a few options. Many meters have a low ohms mode where you are able to zero out the meter resistance but the best method is using a Four-Terminal ohm meter and appropriate connection. In the video above ROBRENZ shows us some typical issue with the clips that are currently available and as a machinist he also demonstrates with some
Another great video showing the Lenz’s Law at work. We have seen this demonstrated before but the effect never gets old. Via: Adafruit
  If you still have a few floppy drives left over after making your Floppy Drive CNC machine have a look at making some music by making a Floppy Disk Jukebox!  “The overall setup is completly modular. Each floppy is connected to its own floppy driver (rrfdc), which in turn speaks I²C with the main board (rrcmd). On power-on the main board auto-discovers the connected floppies and adjusts the
