Check out these guys who made a raft with gatorade plastic bottles then WENT sailin’~ Great job guys, you guys are making the world a better place to live by promoting re-use of those plastic bottles that get trashed everywhere. Now, maybe they can go another level and make a ocean fleet just with plastic bottles.
Wow, check out this cool solar powered Wii!
Tom’s Hardware Guide recently built a mobile Wii station, complete with an HD monitor, that’s powered in part by a solar energy (check out the Tom’s Workshop video of the project). It’s a simple invention on many levels. For one, it didn’t cost much at all to find a battery, power converter and appropriately-sized solar power panel. And the station itself is just wood with a couple of wheels and a c

Wow, check out this touchscreen smart mirror that you can use to read news while shaving or doing your hair. These guys are freakin’ smart.
A team of students at the University of Waterloo, lead by William Lam (no relation to our Brian Lam), have designed a touchscreen Smart Mirror. Widgets can be placed on the mirror and it can also play music, video and more. Check out the video above and see for yours
Here’s a kit you can buy that comes with everything you need to build your own little lofthouse. I wonder if it’s earthquake proof…. probably not.
Lofthouses are two-story, gable roof houses. They are sold as pre-cut, pre-drilled kits, and are designed for assembly by two inexperienced owner-builders.
The rugged post & beam frame is assembled from heavy-duty, single and double chord floor trusses and pre-cut, pre-drilled

Here’s a cool little kit you can make to hear fish and whales talk and sing! You can buy the kits on ebay.
Here’s a cool radio gizmo wireless module you can use for PLCs and other “industrial” applications. You could probably use it with CUBLOC or CuTOUCH too… Check out Prosoft Technologies for more info.

Here’s a cool way to spend your summer and get paid if you are into open source projects! WordPress is among the projects that were accepted by Google. It seems like Google just has too much money to give away, why not take advantage of it?
Looking for something fun to do this summer? All college and university st

Wow, check out this cool audio spectrum analyzer you can make using an Atmel AVR MCU! Well, I’ve always wanted to make one of these but finally found it at HackedGadgets!
This is an experimental work to monitor a spectrum pattern in radio band, and is a continuous project from Audio Spectrum
Here’s a cool ethernet-enabled mechanical hit counter. It seems kind of over-powered using a relay but this can be a great source of information for similar applications.
So, when you ping salem, you’re actually hitting my firewall, which redirects ICMP type 8 (Echo Request) so the board, whose internal address is 192.168.0.2.The BX decodes the ping request and asserts a TTL output high for 50ms. This turns on the transistor, which fi
Wow, check this out. A high school student has built a nuclear fusion reactor. Maybe he can make the next Back-to-the-Future car…
High school student Thiago Olson has gone beyond basic physics class. Way beyond. Using parts and materials scrounged from the local hardware story and eBay, Olson built a working fusion reactor. In November 2006, a few tiny bubbles in h
