Okay, we’ve been getting some strange sources of power lately including the lemon power and candle power, here’s potato powered MP3 Player!
TighT!
We are working on our touchscreen MP3 player by the way, we are trying to locate a CSS CCS PIC compiler this week so hopefully by next week we will have it made.
This appliance is, of course, closely related to the
Check out this gigantic tennis ball launcher! A must if you are trying to help your son or daughter become the next Venessa Williams. Just make sure to use a nice racket!
I built this launcher for a friend of mine after he helped me machine some custom aluminum frames for the 2005 ASME Regional Design Contest. It features a 2.5″ ID pvc pipe barrel (perfect for tennis balls) and a 4″ ID pvc chamber. The val
Remember our post on lemon powered batteries? This one’s even better, it uses 2 candles to power a small bulb, pretty powerful.
So next time the light goes out, don’t light your candles, use your candles to power your flashlight, then when you run out of power, light your candles.

Tight, now doctors can give patients a recording of their heartbeating sounds saved to an ipod!
Capturing heart and lung sounds is the most critical aspect of stethoscope design. Acquire the sound accurately, and anything is possible. The patented Electromagnetic Diaphragm (EmD) is unique to a Thinklabs stethoscope, and is the key to audio quality.

With all the RGB projects we’ve done and we’ve seen around these days, it was cool to see an RGB light in real world setting such as at a fusion restaurant in San Francisco.

So we made the MP3 player and it works freakin’ great! The sound quality was as good as an off-the-shelf MP3s. We plan to hack it using a CuTOUCH CT1720 and make some cool touchscreen menus for it.
Here’s some pictures of how it will fit in the touchscreen enclosure: (It fit perfectly!)
The only hurdle we face now is changing the
Yey, we just got our Make MP3 Player. We can’t wait to hack it. Garrett’s already stole it from me and soldering up half of the pieces together, I will probably get my hands on it later today. Thanks Phillip for the kit!,
