Enjoy~

Btw, you can find more information about these super-gigantic tesla coils over at Lod.org.

Boy, these things are way cool, maybe there’s more uses for it than simply a show. Perhaps, power my back-to-the-future vehicle, De Lorean.

Get 35% more MPG on your car with this little device.

Maker Faire 2007 – Automatic Drum Piano!

video://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylmzqhbbodI

Wow, this drum piano is the coolest thing ever. Although you do miss the physical part of actually drummin’ on your equipment, this is a nifty device for those of you good with the piano but not with the drums. It looks like there are hydraulic actuators on it to control all the drum sticks. Anyways, this is cool…

On the site note, I have been slacking on posts lately. We had to move a lot of stuff out of our site which was slowing our site down. We will have them up and running again since we will b
