When is a watch more than a method of telling time? When it can calculate ballistics trajectories! That is what the Tactical Sniper Watch can do. The ENIAC was doing the same thing but it was a bit bigger. “Calculate point of impact by inputting critical variables that determine elevation and wind adjustments. Works on all MILDOT, TMOA, SMOA and clicking rifle scopes. Punch in data about the ammunition you
Valojuova from Finland has created a crazy DIY invention for cooling a can. The Peltier CAN cooler uses the peltier effect for cooling. Looking to cool a bit more with a peltier device? Check this out. “PWM controlled peltier cooler, 12V, 80W peltier. I can holder was lathed from aluminium by some other students. I just gave him the blueprints. Hot side is cooled with Igloo 7200 Light. I haven’t
Google is building a new computing center that could house up to 450,000 servers. Could you imagine what it would sound like if they were all jet engine fan cooled? “The computer servers that fill huge data centers are producing more heat with every new generation of processors. It’s a problem that’s sending engineers on a search for cooling fans that are both small enough to fit inside ever-smaller server
This is not the Prius of electric cars. The X1 was designed for one purpose, to go fast. “Wrightspeed builds extreme performance electric supercars. With advanced electric drive train technology, our cars raise the performance driving experience to a new level – while still returning 3 times better energy efficiency than the most efficient cars available. Wrightspeed is building the X1, demonstrable today in a street-legal prototype, using lithium-ion batteries
If you are into photography you need to have a look at this site. Lasers, cameras and LEDs are a good mix! “The design begins with construction of a laser module. It is set up to contain 8 laser pointers, plus an additional IR (infrared) laser. This allows for sufficient expansion for other uses, including general high speed photography. A detector is provided for each laser. By pulsing the lasers,
This is the first hard drive made. It is a whopping 5MB in size, funny thing is that even though drive sizes have increased tremendously the underlying technology is surprisingly similar… “Information is stored, magnetically, on fifty disks which rotate at 1200 rpm. These disks are mounted so as to rotate about a vertical axis, with a spacing of three tenths of an inch between disks. This spacing permits two
I love to BBQ but I am not sure I am satisfied with my department store model after looking at some of these crazy BBQs. “Tim Kowalec built this HEMI-powered BBQ grill for Chrysler’s “What Can You HEMI?” contest in 2005. Tim’s “manly man’s barbecue grill” featured a 5.7-liter V-8 HEMI engine, and can cook 240 hot dogs in 3 minutes!” Via: Fosfor Gadgets
