Here’s a funny hack using a cellphone, wires, and a 16pF capacitor.

Take one SonyEricsson K800i, rewire the capacitor (which feeds the camera flash) with a pair of 16uf caps and you have a cell phone capable of dumping those farads into a human body. Just take a photo using the camera’s xenon flash and shoot.

If you can’t read the multimeter in murk of what looks like a typical teenager’s bedroom, it shows 300 volts. Cameron20020, the video’s creator, describes it thus:

“…while it doesn’t make a big spark, it hurts a f*****g lot.”

Okay, here’s a funny DIY where you can make your own sound activated party lights.

If you want the non-adult version, you can check out our Christmas Voice Activated Party Lights too. (And yes, you have to use a Magnum for this one)

This project shows you how to make a music light out of inflated condoms and LEDs wired up to the sound out of your computer.

A monkey controls a robot w/ his brain! Need I say more?  I wonder what the monkey would do if they hooked him up to a King Kong robot…

In a first-of-its-kind experiment, the brain activity of a monkey has been used to control the real-time walking patterns of a robot halfway around the world, according to researchers at Duke University Medical Center.

The Duke team is working with the Computational Brain Project of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) on technology they hope will one day help those with paralysis regain the ability to walk.

It shouldn’t be too long before they replace the monkey with humans huh?

Anyone up to be the first guinea-monkey?

This is a funny video of people trying to emulate Palm on the iPhone. What a waste of time.

I could, however, understand it if they emulated the iPhone on the Palm.

This is like emulating PS3 on NES. (not that it is possible)

We give props though for hacking it up. Great job on the hacking. :p

Ever thought of turning electrical waves floating in the air into electricity? Well, here a guide if you need it.

This is btw, similar to the new “wireless” batteries that Phillips is working on.  (i think it’s phillips…)

Here’s something you can make to torture your neighbors. Well…j.k.

Imagine there is a famine and you are back to the hunter-gatherer times. If worst comes to worst and you need to catch a rabbit, a rat or anything that is digestable or anything that has to be hunted, you will need a weapon to serve you under those harsh conditions.

Cool stuff here.

Have a look at this cool Nightclub LED Lighting System. If I owned a nightclub this system would be one of the first enhancements that would be added. The company has done quite a few 3D models of their designs which provide a great idea of what the end result will look like. I would be interested in knowing what type of RGB LED element they use and how they get the color to fill the globe as evenly as they do.

Alright, to celebrate the day we got banned from SU, we are gonna start posting some more great posts focused on tech not politics.

Here’s a robotic fish and a shout out to Phil over at Make. (I wonder how he has been living, is his life in New York better? I betcha)
