Here’s a cool DIY Arduino and Wiimote Controlled Boat all by flick of the wrist.  Now, just don’t drop that Wiimote and you will have some serious trouble getting out of the water.  (I am sure there’s a backup plan for that)

Last winter I decided version one was successful enough that I would dare to improve it. My design constraints were to extend the boats range to about 20 miles and add a second motor to balance the thrust and push the extra battery weight. In my nerdiness, I also figured it would be prudent to drive the boat with some sort of joystick, opening up the option for autopilot in the future. Lastly, I need to walk the boat to the water (0.3 miles) on a portage cart and launch and retrieve it by hand.

Here’s some great pics guys over at Techeblog took of Batman Tumbler at a Dark Knight screening.

Here’s a video of the Batman Tumbler against a Formula F1 race car:

six vehicles were built: four full-sized vehicles for exterior shots, one hydraulics-equipped model, and a 1/3-scale radio-controlled version for wide shots. In person, the Tumbler is quite massive to say the least. The full-sized version, pictured above, had a functional engine (V8?), along with suspension.

Remember my Green Laser Projectr DIY?  Well, here’s a similar DIY project except it uses a speaker to send vibrating pulses to the end-results beams instead of a motor.

So how does one go about making one of these things? Well, I made every effort to make construction as simple as possible for two reasons. One, electrical engineering is far from my speciality and I didn’t want to kill myself/ruin a laser I could only afford one of. Two, I always hated seeing incredibly awesome projects on the internet that I never had any hope of building due to funds and bizarre parts. That’s not to say you don’t need some basic soldering and construction skills, as well as a healthy respect for the power of laser light, but it’s definitely doable if you put your mind to it.

Here’s a really cool NES Hack that shows you how to build an NES USB Controller that can be plugged into your computer via USB to play the games and load NES games/emulator from the controller itself!

Ok guys, ive gotten waaaaaaaaay too many requests to make a tutorial on this to ignore. Sorry it took so long. I recently made 3 more controller, each a little different from the other. I may make tutorials on those later. Next NES controller I make will need to be wireless, if someone does this before I do please email me at jaykaye2k9 (at] gmail [dot) com

This actually reminds me of Korea, where sometimes there are “fake” beggars on the street who have no legs but in reality they can jump up and run after people who steal those fake beggars’ money.

Going at over 100MPH sorta like flying squirrels, these wingsuit base jumpers are really taking skydiving to another level.

Here’s some really cool direct video manipulations. (Download Mac Demo here)

This could be really fun for my golf swing…

So what’s being manipulated, exactly? Both the video content (e.g., the things you see moving in the video) and the “tape head”. When using DimP, the user directly manipulates the video content and indirectly manipulates the tape head. When using the seeker bar, the user directly manipulates the tape head and indirectly manipulates the video content.

Here’s a really lame robot that someone used a cheap hobby robot arm to digg stories.

It could, however, be used for some really useful stuff I think…

Here’s an interesting story of the guy who creates bullet-proof vests.  What’s interesting is his story as a pizza delivery boy.
