It's a bit remarkable how much you can do with things that are just lying around—especially when they're Legos and electronics parts! The only parts we purchased for this were some wooden tongue depressers ("craft sticks"?) and permanent markers.The...
Getting StartedTo get started, I looked online to see if there was anything out there that solved this problem already. I found a number of 'hands free' phones that supposedly supported voice answering, but after reading whatever reviews I could find,...
DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERSDIAGRAM// UPDATE 29-JUL-2015: // Added A.V.V.A. (ALZHEIMER VICTIM VIDEO ASSISTANT) at #28 below - just scroll down to it.// #29 - V.I.S.O.R. - (Visual Instrument and Sensory Organ Replacement)// #30 - BioBed - Star Trek Medical...
The 3 Burnt Weapons models:The Enforcer: a basic semi-automatic, five-shot pistol with a simple step action. The simplicity of the design was really attractive to me - it only has one moving section.The Destroyer: fully automatic and holds at least 16...
Modulum was made for an Electronic Music Studio class at Pomona College.It consists of four pieces of conductive rubber stretched across a laser-cut plastic frame. They are connected to a central pendulum and share a common ground.Each piece of conductive...
The brains of this remote control is an Arduino Nano using Ken Sharriff's IR library to blink an IR LED (thanks Ken!). Because of the voltage regulator's high quiescent current draw (4.5mA) circuitry was added around the Nano to power down the processor...
System DesignThe goal is to show what is capable with our Flex Modules in cosplay.ClothingThe design of Lux is somewhat simplistic, but we will take care to reproduce the costume well.The top and skirt are easily replicated, but getting the shoes and...
The challenge / opportunity: Getting a source of clean power anywhere in the world through regular usage in life.Inspiration:In the past I have seen projects designed to gather energy from fixed locations.... for example pressure tiles in a subway designed...
OverviewThis is a scientific calculator I built that uses RPN notation. Features:BCD number format with 1-255 placesInternal accuracy configurable from 6 to 32 decimal placesTwo separate 200 level stacksOptional scientific notationFunctions: (a)sin,...
The challenge is to design and build a wearable accessory that could be useful for the people in their activities. The device would facilitate their work through a natural interface so they can do different things without using their hands. Thanks to...
Most modular rail systems for cameras use the standard 15mm tubing 6cm spacing measured from the heart of the tubes. If I wanted anything modular and compatible with off-the-shelf stuff like matte-boxes or follow focus rings, that should be the foundation,...
I have a very specific development cycle for projects like this. First build something out of legos and see where the difficult bits are. A twisted rod or a brick flying off is a pretty good indication where one might want to rethink structure and power...
The principle behind the longboard brake is similar to a bicycle brake. When I put my foot on the braking lever the inner part of the braking cable gets pulled which pulls the lever with the braking pad attached to it so it makes contact with the wheel....
Seal up the holes with some roofing sticky tape and plastic, wipe down the rubber seal and cover it with vacuum oil. Pour desiccant in the bottom of the pressure cooker, add items to be dried.Affix the lid to the pressure cooker, then affix the vacuum...
This design is a response to the variable needs of the community. Trans-radial deformities and amputations take on many different shapes and sizes. The cone-o-matic meets the needs of developing children as well. Just as shoes do not fit after 6-12 months,...
