Check out the wearable LED light you can make!
The Wearable Light kit is a leather cuff with LEDs embedded inside. The Velcro functions as a switch so the bracelet only illuminates when it is in active use. It is a kit designed as an investigative tool to gain insight into DIY culture. Marrying sewing techniques with electronics, a new aestheticized vernacular for constructing simple circuitry is developed. The kits were deployed to crafters in the U.S., Canada and UK.
Check out these awesome Hornet Gyros if you haven’t yet. This would be cool to make and fly it around your pad! You can start with these mini-kits first and then maybe move on to the real thang!
The Hornet Autogyro is 2-stroke powered, recreational, sport gyroplane. It was designed from the beginning to be an ultralight, meaning, that you do not need a license to fly it. However, in the interest of safety (and your own neck),

Cool, here’s an instructable that shows you how to zap stuff at 120,000 volts!
It’s Frankenstein time. Who doesn’t enjoy the smell of ozone and the snap of a big fat spark? The dome is rotating due to vibration Although a Van De Graff generator has recently been posted I decided to post mine based on it’s substantial differences.

Check out this cool site with bunch of howtos and DIYs! Yes, we didn’t make it, we made stinkyworld and wagg.it though…
We started experimenting with “row/column scanning”. This term refers to how the columns of shared anodes(+) and rows of shared cathodes(-) in an LED matrix can be quickly turned on and off to control a single LED within the matrix. Because the number of LEDs with in a matrix will always be fewer than the total number of rows and columns, it is more efficient to quickly address the columns and rows than each individual LED. We first soldered a

Check out this cool RC controlled steam beetle.
The first issue with the weight started in the wheels and tires. I replaced the stock tires and wheels to 2.2, but immediately encountered flat tires, especially when crawling. The stock foam can not support the weight, and the tires basically were always compressed, with the rim of the wheels grounded. This also made it impossible to tur
Okay, I’ve finally been able to stay away from the computer thanks to my girlfriend. But we are back for some more hacks and DIYs.
Check out these cool solar lawnmower robots and mop robot if you don’t want to spend $200 on a Roomba. You could probably make these inventions a little bit smart by adding a programmable controllers such as CUBLOC or

I’d probably stick with a traditional hourglass or my nike watch but this LED project is cool.
The LEDs are arranged in a circular conical fashion, to mimic the glass parts of a traditional hourglass, giving a 3-Dimensional appearance to the electronic hourglass. The system is equipped with a Z-axis accelerometer that detec
