Google Co-Founder Larry Page’s Kitty Hawk Venture Demos Flying Car

“Google co-founder Larry Page’s secretive Kitty Hawk project demonstrated a prototype of the company’s vision for a flying car on April 24. The initial version of the all-electric Kitty Hawk Flyer is specifically designed to fly over water …

HOG, BT Controlled Robot

“In these instructables we will show you, how to make 3d printed tank with catapult. We were working on this project more than 500 hours, and we will keep updating it with better versions. We named it “HOG”. You can …

New strategy produces stronger polymers

“Plastic, rubber, and many other useful materials are made of polymers — long chains arranged in a cross-linked network. At the molecular level, these polymer networks contain structural flaws that weaken them. Several years ago, MIT researchers were the first to …

Raspi EDLC UPS

“For the Rundbuntplasma I wanted that the main power supply (a big 20A/5V supply) could be hard disconnected (aka operating the main power switch in our hacker space) from mains and the Raspberry will still shutdown nicely automatically. The …

Snake Robot

“Introducing The Lake Erie Mamba: a Reconfigurable Robot Snake. This versatile reptile is made with off-the-shelf parts and is capable of several different modes of locomotion, including slithering, inch worm, sidewinding and rolling. (The rolling configuration involves the snake curling …

A microprocessor based on a two-dimensional semiconductor

“The advent of microcomputers in the 1970s has dramatically changed our society. Since then, microprocessors have been made almost exclusively from silicon, but the ever-increasing demand for higher integration density and speed, lower power consumption and better integrability with everyday …

Arduino Powered Three Arm Bubble Machine

“Some time ago I liberated several ball screw linear rails from the scrap bin at my workplace. I used four of them to make a CNC router. I gave a few away. I have one left. So what to do …

“Welcome friend, today we are going to make Smart Moneybox with Arduino. We want to; When we drop the money onto compartment, device open the door after 3 seconds. Finally close the door. And count the how many coins in …

Electric Bicycle (EBike) Dashboard and Battery Monitor

“This project is an Arduino circuit that monitors battery voltage and current with an ACS 712 module. The measurements are communicated over Bluetooth with an HC-05 module to an Android device. Basically you rewire the negative connection between your …

Graphene holds up under high pressure

“A single sheet of graphene, comprising an atom-thin lattice of carbon, may seem rather fragile. But engineers at MIT have found that the ultrathin material is exceptionally sturdy, remaining intact under applied pressures of at least 100 bars. That’s …
