Radio Controlled Golf Ball

This golf ball looks like too much fun. I think this is exactly what I need to improve my game. 🙂 “The ball has a little spinning gyro in it, and when you activate it from the remote it spins off in random directions. The acceleration varies depending on the ground, and due to its small size it obviously works best on smoother surfaces such as green and tees. All

Super Sky Cycle

  The Super Sky Cycle is exactly what I need to commute to work. Too bad I would need a pilots license to fly it… “Former test pilot Larry Neal of Boyd, Texas created this awesome flying machine called the Super Sky Cycle (basically a flying bike – technically a cross between a motorcycle and an autogyro). The flying bike goes as fast as 70 mph in the air and

Amazing Chopper PC Case Mod

Talk about lots of detail. The Chopper Case Mod is a piece of art that I would be proud to have housing my components. “Now this is a computer case mod. The folks at Colorado-based Chopper Computers design cases that look like sexed up choppers motorcycle, complete with custom paintjobs and, by the look of this photo, your very own motorcycle mama. It doesn’t look like they’ve gotten past creating

DIY LM3886  Power Amplifier

There are fill schematics and board layout for this powerful DIY amplifier that is based on the LM3886 chip. Looks like it is built like a tank. “This amp is based on the PA100 parallel amplifier detailed in National Semiconductor’s application note – AN1192. This amp uses two LM3886 per channel, in parallel circuit. This amp can deliver about 50W into a 8-ohm speaker and 100W into a 4-ohm speaker.

Marshmallow Bazooka

The guys over at Mondo Technology are at it again. If you have some PIC chips left over from your last project why not control a high voltage Marshmallow Bazooka ignition system with it. “This device uses a PIC12F629 to create a burst of 30 high voltage pulses. The PIC activates a 1000 volt N-Chan FET driving a standard ignition coil. After the ignition, the PIC goes dormant until activated
