5 years ago, it was a lot harder to build your own solar-charging systems but now there are so much more resources plus price of solar systems have dropped quite a bit. If you own a home and you have some space in your backyard (or roof) for solar panels, there’s absolutely no reason why you aren’t powering some of your home electronics via the power of the sun (unless you live in Alaska and it’s no-sun season).
Here’s a great example of a
This video give me the heebie jeebies, I mean it. Watch in absolute horror as two engineers climb to the top of a jaw-dropingly tall transmission tower. This is incredible:
Staying up late for your exam? Still using outdated flashcards that are easy to cheat (yourself)?
You can start printing out these cool QR code flashcards (by using free QR code generators) and next time you want to check your answers, you will have to resort to using your smartphone to check it, not a bad idea at all for better flashcards.
This Cornell robot makes history by walking 14.3 miles and becomes the longest walking bi-pedal robot in history on a single charge!
Ranger, a robot more specialized for distance than BigDog, beat that record by 1.5 miles, walking 14.3 miles on a single charge of its batteries without being touched by a
EEPROM, a type of memory chip where you can store data, has limited number of writes. Usually most EEPROMs are rated at 100,000 writes.
Well, if you wanna find out how much writing you can actually do, you can build yourself a DIY EEPROM tester and just keep doing re-writes until the thing stops.
How long will it take to complete a million write-verify cycles? The Flash Destroyer’s current top s
Natural disasters have caused a ton of damage to home owners, businesses, and even the government. For floods, the Department of Natural Resources of Australia and Penguin Labs have devised a DIY flood-triggered automated camera system that would takeimages of a cave flood (when it floods) in order to study the water flow and how it affects the environment. Mainly, a “water switch” is used to de
Anyone looking for a stress relieving tool may be interested in taking a looking this stress reliving putty, it has been named the Thinking Persons Putty or the Smart Mass Think Putty. However, whatever you call it this toy like stuff is more likely to create stress rather than relieve it, especially if starts being mixed up with other things.
Features of the smart mass thinking putty:
•It Bounces!
•It Stretches, Contorts & Squishes !
•It lifts comics! (as any self-respecting putty would)
•It Shears & Tears !
•It Even Shatters !!!
Think of a battery as a small power plant that converts chemical energy through a reaction into electrical energy. First of all there is the container (1). This is a steel cylinder housing the cell’s ingredients.
Then you insert the positive element of the chemical reaction, which is a mix of finely ground Manganese dioxide mixed with conductors (like Carbon) which carry a naturally occurring electrical charge. This is called the cathode, and it is molded inside the empty wall of the container (2).
A separator paper is inserted to keep the cathode from touching the
See this had to happen sooner or later; companies have been developing robots for years and now as many movies have predicted there is going to be Robot Land.
This will naturally be located in South Korea as the Koreans appear to have the upper hand in robot developments. Robot Land is supposedly a theme park, but don’t you believe it.
There are plenty of opportunities for the suits from the corporations to visit the place and find out what it is development and maybe even get involved in the development of a new type of robot.
This simply cannot be good for mankind w
