With the warm days of summer here, this Motorized Pool Lounger looks like a great way to pass a day. “Don’t Just Float—Drive! The Motorized Pool Lounger may be the most advanced pool lounger in the world—and it’s definitely the most fun! Two quiet but powerful motors will propel you around your pool in comfort and style, with easy-to-use joysticks that control two independent propellers. Why just float when
Sean Harrison has built a very cool hard drive project. Similar to the Hard Drive Oscilloscope but uses two hard drive voice coils instead of just one. This allows the unit to draw an X/Y image without needing to control one axis by hand. “Right, well I had been looking around the net and found the Hard Drive Laser Oscilloscope over at Hacked Gadgets and thought about trying to
Here is a great bathroom idea! Standard LEDs have a life of 100,000 hours so these should have no problem lasting till the next renovation. “Ceramic tile installations are meant to last a long time- We hope that LED’s live as long as their reputation or this bathroom is going to look pretty silly in a couple of years. The idea of marking steps and edges with LED’s is interesting;
This RC Helicopter is so smooth, the design is also quite unique. “The Proxflyer Mosquito Twin-tail has 4 ch. control and is operated just as a normal helicopter, yaw, pitch and roll and it can fly sideways due to the two tail propellers. It is still absolutely stable and easy to fly. The Proxflyer Mosquito Twin-tail is a prototype and it is not for sale.”
Quite amaizing what some number crunching can do. This device would be easy to market to some of the large casinos where bigger is better. “Some clever fellas at Akishima Laboratories, in Japan, have come up with a way to “draw†words and pictures on the surface of water, using an enclosure surrounded by 50 wave generators. The image is created by water pixels formed from the simultaneous intersection of
After you have made the Make Magazine version of the Hamster-Powered Generator you can scale things up a bit and power some larger items. This would be a great prank for Candid Camera, have an apartment set up with this wheel and have temps come in to power the apartment with it. I could just imagine the apartment owner sitting on the couch watching TV with the wheel spinning
Roger Smith made a great overview of how a Tesla coil is built. Warning, don’t attempt to build one of these as your first electrical project. Roger was also kind enough to give us an interview, here are the interview results. Interview with Roger Smith Hacked Gadgets: How did you get into the electronic/electrical hobby? Roger Smith: I first got interested in Tesla coils when my older brother
