He writes: If you should find yourself in need of small volumes of gas at about atmospheric pressure for a reaction or project, generating it on the bench can be a convenient and inexpensive alternative to buying or […]
I really like this project for its simplicity. The design can be adapted for a bunch of other things too. Maybe it could be adapted for a camera, or studio lights? Just don’t forget to paint the clamp, since it looks so much better in black! When I shoot concerts, I often record audio off […]
Fun project from “Gadget Freak” – William Grill created a gadget that helps control the firing of model rockets. The device provides basic rocket igniter functions, including an igniter “fuse†monitor, audio input and an LED display. The gadget also features a “DeadMan†button (which helps avoid an unintended launch) and a “Fire†button that […]
Plusea wrote up another helpful tutorial involving conductive fabric. An extension/variation of her previous design, this soft bend sensor seems well suited for use in glove/finger control interfaces as well as countless other projects. – Fabric bend sensor More: HOW TO – Flexible pressure sensor Fashioning Technology
Brian Duey has a great website with a bunch of learn-to-draw tutorials. Many great projects start with a sketch, so learning to draw can really help you in the early stages of design. Check out Brian’s website for a lot of great tutorials. Learn how to Draw a car [and more!]
