Stanford professor tests a cooling system that works without electricity

“Stanford scientists cooled water without electricity by sending excess heat where it won’t be noticed – space. The specialized optical surfaces they developed are a major step toward applying this technology to air conditioning and refrigeration. It looks like a …

Storage Bin Humidity Monitor

“Moisture is a problem for most things in storage. Now you can have confidence that your bin is air tight and desiccant is still working. Moisture is a problem for most things in storage. How do you know that your …

Synthesizing Pure Graphene, a ‘Miracle Material’

“Formed deep within the earth, stronger than steel, and thinner than a human hair. These comparisons aren’t describing a new super hero. They’re describing graphene, a substance that some experts have called “the most amazing and versatile” known …

Temperature Monitor / Alarm

“The monitor is powered with a 1000mAh rechargeable lithium battery and can be left running for several weeks before it needs recharging via its own internal USB/5v lithium charger. It incorporates an internal digital temperature sensor but an external …

6 Bits Binary Counter

“This counter is the result of designing a cascading counter because it’s constructed like an asynchronous counter of 6 bits. That is, the project needs to function the following components: 6-10mm LEDs, 6-Flip-Flops(IC74LS76), and an IC555 timer for …

Basic String Car Racer

“A miniature race car is balanced precariously on a single pulley, speeding between two trees on a narrow zip line — will your car win the race? The Basic String Car Racer is a simple project that consists of a battery …

Billy the Biped Robot - 3D Printed

“This is Billy, a cute little Bipedal Robot born from an Ultimaker 3D Printer, designed with Fusion 360. He can walk, he can dance, and he can avoid objects! All powered from an Arduino and 4 Servo Motors!”

Bluetooth Controlled Vehicle With WiFi Camera

“This is a 4-wheel drive camera vehicle controlled by Arduino and Bluetooth module(HC-05). Wifi action camera is mounted on it. This can be controlled remotely by an android device for easy operation. It uses android application commands to …

Build Your Own Motion Detection System Using an Accelerometer

“This project uses a C8051 microcontroller development kit, an accelerometer evaluation board, and Simplicity Studio IDE—all from Silicon Labs—to rather quickly and easily build a motion-detecting alarm system.”

Controlling Traffic on the Electron Highway: Researching Graphene

“On an otherwise normal day in the lab, Eva Andrei didn’t expect to make a major discovery. Andrei, a physics professor at Rutgers University, was using graphite – the material in pencils – to calibrate a scanning tunneling microscope. As part …
