Open Source, Ultra-Bright LED Lumapad with WiFi & Arduino by Richard Haberkern. With the success of this project, the Lumapad will be one of the brightest LED lights made with all these incredible features. Thirty two (32) ultra bright LEDs are positioned in a landscape array to provide bright, even and controllable lighting on any subject. It is truly unbelievable how bright this thing is even though it draws only 88 watts. A built in electronic dimmer makes the light intensity adjustable to suit any environment. Great for studio and stage lighting, special effects, experimentation or anywhere an ultra-bright 8000 lumen lighting system is needed. Introducing the first Open Source, High Intensity, 8000 lumen LED Lighting System with embedded Electric IMP WiFi, Atmel AVR and Arduino built in.

This is no ordinary bright light! *color adjustment available on dual channel Lumapad only Optional dual color temperature prototype shown in video Who says you have to be in the dark to go green? Simulated lightning. OpenPCR - open source biotech on your desktop by -- Tito and Josh. Wow! Thank you for your overwhelming interest in OpenPCR -- together we reached $6,000 in 10 days! We're really happy that there's such an interest in making this happen. Now that we've surpassed our minimum goal, additional funds will allow us to make OpenPCR even better (see our update for the details). -- Tito and Josh Do you want to explore your own genome, hack together DNA code, build your own biofuel, or prove that the trees in your backyard really are Truffula trees?
You'll need a PCR machine, one of the cornerstones of molecular biology, which costs $4,000 up to $10,000. How are the Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, or Andy Warhol of biotech going to get their start if the simplest biotech tools cost so much? In 1983, Kary Mullis first developed PCR, for which he later received a Nobel Prize. We want to make an OpenPCR machine capable of copying DNA.
Our plan: We've got an initial prototype which just blinked to life in the past few weeks. B-Squares: Modular Solar Powered Electrics. by Jordan McRae. Hello Kickstarter! Thanks for visiting our project page and helping take B-Squares from prototype to product. This project started on January 26, 2011 with a quick sketch while both myself and Shawn were trying to prototype another solar product.
We were getting frustrated that it was so difficult to integrate solar energy into our professional and for-fun ‘electric graffiti’ projects. So, after three months of intense development, with B-Squares we now think we have a technology that can bring solar, energy storage, and interactivity into a range of projects, instantly. And we need your help to complete the journey. B-Squares is a 3D modular electronics system with an emphasis on (but not limited to) solar power and expandable energy storage.
What is “3D” about B-Squares? From the moment we developed the first crude foam prototypes of B-Squares, we were surprised to discover new applications and combinations of Squares each day. “I just made a solar-powered iPod Square!” 1. 2. 3. 4. 6. HexBright, an Open Source Light by Christian Carlberg. MORE INFO AND UPDATES AT: hexbright.com Grant Imahara from MythBusters likes the HexBright! Thanks for looking! I am offering pre-orders for two unique and powerful lights, the HexBright Prime for $35 and the HexBright Flex for $60.
Both models are virtually identical looking with an ergonomic, very comfortable grip and use the best available LED light source. The Prime has a max light output of 350 lumens and the Flex has a max light output of 500 lumens. For reference, a good quality $30 brand-name flashlight puts out 100 lumens of light. Why do I need a programmable light? What about programmable color LEDs? Back story Just about anywhere you can buy a cheap flashlight with a zillion unnecessary modes (high, med, low, slow blinky, fast blinky, SOS blinky... laser pointer too??). Based on the aluminum hex-bar body, I named my light the HexBright Prime, and I was pretty happy with it. I conceived the HexBright Flex but I was tapped out of cash to actually make one. What's the money for? Teagueduino: Learn to Make by Teague. Teagueduino is an open source electronic board and interface that allows you to realize creative ideas without soldering or knowing how to code, while teaching you the ropes of programming and embedded development (like arduino).
Teagueduino is designed to help you discover your inner techno-geek and embrace the awesomeness of making things in realtime — even if you’ve only ever programmed your VCR. Teagueduino makes making things really simple. Want to build a light-controlled alarm clock? A harmonic music generator or a light that changes color based on temperature? How about a magnetic field meter or a robotic frog? Just plug in a sensor to one of the input ports (for example, a knob), hook up an output device (a speaker, perhaps?) Teagueduino makes learning about electronics and programming intuitive.
Beginners can jump in without needing to know how to solder or write code. Teagueduino makes teaching engaging and exploratory. Making an ecosystem of boards and software is expensive. NODE: a modular, handheld powerhouse of sensors by George Yu. New Pledge options for Radiation sensor module and Carbon Monoxide module. The radiation sensor module is a PIN diode radiation sensor with adjustable sensitivity levels. It is only meant for low levels of radiation ranging from 0.1uSv/h to 10uSv/h The Carbon Monoxide module is an industrial grade electrochemical gas sensor with a 0 - 400 ppm concentration range.
NODE is iPad 3 compatible. Compatibility list and other specs in FAQ (go to the bottom of the long page) If you have any thoughts on how this future product can be improved, don't hesitate to send me a message. Variable Technologies is proud to introduce our newest product: NODE. Bluetooth 4.0 A modular device, NODE communicates with smartphones via Bluetooth. Modules Here are the basics of each NODE: But, we wanted even more from this device. Open API, Open Firmware, Open Source Code The hardware of NODE is fixed, but we've left the firmware and API open and compatible with the Arduino platform. Each NODE comes stock with Kore. Oxa.

B9Creator - A High Resolution 3D Printer by Michael Joyce. Color Voting Update - 06/11/12 at 6:11 AM MST The Voting is Over, we have a winner! Black - 32, Blue -11, Clear - 9, Red - 2, Gold - 2, Green - 1 Right from the beginning I wanted the B9Creator to be different. Anodized aluminum construction, stainless steel hardware, many thoughtful features that enhance normal operation... all these things set the B9Creator apart from the DIY 3D Printer herd. But when it comes to printing complex, detailed and fragile objects, this is where the B9Creator really shines bright! DIY 3D Printers based upon the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) concept simply can not match the higher resolution capability of the B9Creator.
We utilize a powerful Digital Light Processing (DLP) projector to shine a 1024 x 768 pixel image onto a layer of photo-initiated polymer resin. How about speed? "But how much does that resin cost? " As you will see below, the project development is already well along and is about set for production. So... (Working on resin development) MaKey MaKey: An Invention Kit for Everyone by Jay Silver.

Blue Laser Lamp- with passive cooling technology by Richard Redpath. A New Way to Think About Lighting The lighting device of the 21st century, Firefly is a revolutionary new lamp using a safe low power laser and sophisticated optics.
The technology we have implemented in this product is something different than what your'e use to and we think you'll love it. The lamp comes with a plug in adapter but will also run on two AAA batteries. Our laser lamp does not "pool" around the light source like LED or other traditional sources; the laser light is "thrown" long distances and maintains its brightness. You put the light where you need it; No more old fashion lighting solutions, no more wasted energy.
The passive cooling system eliminates moving parts, so the lamp produces no noise. 99.6% Recyclable and uses less than 1 watt of power (0.4 watts to be exact!) Firefly is a new breed of lighting for your home or on the go. For those of you that love the outdoors, you will be happy to hear that Firefly is 100% portable using 2 AAA batteries. Manufacturing.
