I thought I had seen it all but the blender phone is a first! It was created a while ago but that doesn’t make it any less interesting. “If you want your friends to think you’re insane, but quote you like God anyway, this is the appliance for YOU! The “ringer” is the blender motor,which pulses like a telephone bell, except angrier. To answer, pick up the pitcher out of
Seems people are getting creative when making batteries. We aren’t seeing the typical fruit batteries that everyone has made in high school. An example of a creative battery that you might remember from a few months ago is the penny battery. Well I would have to say this potato battery is a step up in creativity. I wouldn’t have thought you could make a battery out of potatoes, but I
Having reception problems with your Itrip or another FM transmitter? Well you are not alone! Jojoskarr (Joe) came up with an interesting idea that uses items that you probably already have collecting dust in a closet. A USB cable, small transformer and come Coax cable is what he used to solve his iPod Nano reception woes. “After experimenting I stumbled across the wonders of how coaxial cable works great for
So you have already build a hard drive clock. What else could an old hard drive be good for? How about a hard drive generator? The guys at The Workshop were thinking outside of the box when they came up with this one. “Here’s an excelent way to recycle your old hard drives and have them create energy for you! This site shows how to use a bunch of old
What can you do with an LED? They only provide light right? Wrong! JustDIY has done some extensive testing and documentation of a phenomenon that is not very well known. LEDs can be used as an input device! “This is a collection of the work I’ve done with using the bi-directional properties of LEDs. I have also included links to information I’ve found on the subject and the project by
So I am sure you have thought about playing your Xbox with a NES controller right? Well now you have! Where could you possible find documentation to do such a wild thing? Simple, altHack have everything you need. They have a parts list, tool list, schematic diagrams, well labeled pictures of the process and more. So what are you waiting for? Get hacking! The project is broken into three sections,
Fred Niell has made a functional nixie clock using a PIC microcontroller. Fred provides schematics and code so that you can build your own. But be careful since this clock operates at 175 Volts! “I decided to use point-to-point wiring for this prototype. That was difficult. I wouldn’t suggest it for a relatively complex digital design, such as this. I also fit the clock into a wooden shadow-box. I think
