Recreate the Internet sensation in your own backyard with the Diet Coke & Mentos Kit! Fresh from their performance at Maker Faire, the guys at EepyBird have hand crafted replica PVC nozzles just like the ones they use themselves. Each kit contains a variety of nozzle cuts to give you the coolest, highest shooting geysers. We’ll even throw in a pack of Mentos to get you started (Diet Coke and totally sweet lab coats not included).

Way back at the end of March 2007, a couple of MAKE interns sealed the lid on a ghost shrimp and a few snail friends on what the staff thought would be a three-hour tour. Err, I mean a 90-day biosphere odyssey. Yesterday at 16:35:56 marked the end of the third year of our little […]
After we put the kids to bed last night my wife and I realized we needed to set up some April Fools’ Day pranks.

With the LED Clock Kit, you create a giant 9″ x 5″ super bright self-standing clock only 1/8″ thick that keeps accurate time even during power failures up to 1 minute.
Your finished clock will change brightness at the push of a button, the digits fade smoothly when the time changes, and you can automatically synchronize multiple clocks.
This kit is easy to assemble & no soldering required. The unique wiring pattern doesn’t need a traditional PCB with tiny parallel tracks on it. Simply twist the LED leads directly to other leads. Only six conductors enter the panel.
John Park, host of Make: television, builds the Gakken Karakuri Somersault Doll from the Maker Shed http://www.makershed.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=MKGK26 This is a good thing, since the instructions are in Japanese.
Gakken makes excellent kits, many of which come from the Maker Shed with English instructions. This karakuri somersault doll kit’s directions are Japanese-only however, so I put together this build video to show the key assembly steps.
