How to make a tool set. Life without tools is barbaric. But even simple tools can be expensive in rural parts of developing countries. Import duties bump the costs up higher than they are in the States or elsewhere, and sometimes only low-quality brands are available anyway. So, to hold off future barbarians, we'd like to show how to build a simple tool set on a very low budget.
Larry Bentley, the man who figured out how to make these tools, said a wise thing: "Without tools, kids don't take stuff apart, and without taking stuff apart, you don't learn how things work. " These tools, Bentley says, could be in the hands of the next William Kamkambwa,who made a working wind power generator from backyard scraps in a village in Malawi. Here's Larry's quick guide to DIY tools. The tools in this guide: Saw Pliers Wooden vice Wood drill bit / star drill bit Chisel Strap hinge vice. Top 10 DIY Tech Gifts. @keyboard-vomit: Yeah, but wouldn't it be awesome if some of our not so tech friends actually attempted (and accomplished) one or more of these feats? I mean, when "it's the thought that counts," shouldn't it be a thought about something we'd actually appreciate.
Then again, maybe socks are your thing. ;) @HunterShoptaw: That they are, I'm wanting some socks with an integrated HDD, and some USB connectivity. @HunterShoptaw: The thought does count, but it sure would be nice if they enjoyed the gift too. Last year, I circumnavigated the 2nd biggest mall in the country (King of Prussia) with a buddy of mine, and we both came up with squat for our wives. Sucked. So for this year, I created wishgenies dot com for people who WANT to give good gifts, but don't know what they'll want. @keyboard-vomit: I swear that some day, some how...Google will be able to find my lost socks. Top 10 Things You Can Upgrade with a Little Electronics Hacking. It is a skill to do a good solder joint, it comes with LOTS of practice. so most people who rarely do it will ever get good at it.
Bingo. Of course, part of the issue is having a soldering iron at the right temp with a properly tinned tip. Newbies aren't using soldering stations but a cheap iron they got at rat shack (You have questions? We have deer-in-the-headlights... erm... answers!). I don't expect to ever master tricky stuff like smts or even multilayer pcbs so I'm not much better then a newbie, anyway - and I totally suck at sweating pipe joints. Ah, well... SMT is actually a bit better than through-hole once you get the hang of it. Electronic Projects For Beginners. I made a guide for those people who are still starting with their electronics hobby. I started connecting wires, batteries, bulbs, buzzers and motors when I was 4 years old . Now that I am 13 years old, I now have a good amount of experience to build complicated electronic circuits.
Learning electronics isn't that easy but if you put love and passion to it, I assure you that you would enjoy building your own experiments. It takes years of jamming parts, soldering, gluing projects to become a good hobbyist. By fulfilling these projects that where shared by different Instructable members, I can assure you, with a little bit of passion and practice, you could become successful with your future experiments and inventions. It took me hours to finish making this guide since there is no software editor in the Sibmit>Guide in the "Submit Instructable Section" I had to type every word and picture using HTML codes which I learned from school.

We all know how handy a cell phone can be when we’re stranded on the side of the road or late for a meeting. And far from just making phone calls, cell phones let us take pictures, send text messages, and even watch movies. But now a UCLA engineer has come up with an entirely new way to use cell phones.
He took a regular cell phone, around $10 worth of off-the-shelf parts, and software that he wrote himself to make the world’s first cell phone microscope. He hopes it can be used in remote locations to diagnose diseases when getting to a hospital for tests just isn’t possible. Aydogan Ozcan, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at UCLA, has formed a company called Microskia to develop and market the technology. How to Make a Crystal Radio in 10 Minutes. Making a Fire Piston and Char Cloth. How to Make Char-Twine. Make A Fire Piston For $1. Make this fire piston for a dollar or even if you have to buy the plastic still very cheap to make. This fire piston is made our of acrylic and works every time, the bonus about this type of fire piston is you can see the ignition… very cool. A fire piston, sometimes called a fire syringe or a slam rod fire starter, is a device of ancient origin[citation needed] which is used to kindle fire. It uses the principle of the heating of a gas (in this case air) by its rapid (adiabatic) compression to ignite a piece of tinder, which is then used to set light to kindling. click here to see more fire piston info.
Self-Igniting Fire Starter. I am always on the lookout for a new fire starter, and when I find a new idea, of course I have to try it out! Well I have found a new interesting concept and I thought I might share my attempt with it. It is a fire starter that has an ignition source, an accelerent, and fuel, all in one. And an additional benefit is they are waterproof! The idea here is to take a Strike Anywhere match, wrap it in toilet paper, and then dip it completely in paraffin. I can’t take the credit for this idea as I saw it a few months ago on a YouTube video by the “intenseangler”. I don’t recall how I happened upon the site, as much of it has to do with fishing, but I was glad I did. In the video, the small Strike Anywhere matches are used, which requires that the toilet paper you wrap around it be cut into thirds. I will, as usual, use a photo format to explain what I did as it is easier to understand by seeing the process.
The first thing I did was get a double boiler going to melt some paraffin. Creating Water Proof Matches. Water. Wimoto motes - Your Sixth Sensor. Wimotos are a family of small, wireless sensors for your iPhone, iPad, Android, Linux or Raspberry Pi device that measure environmentals such as ambient temperature, humidity, light, soil moisture, soil temperature, object temperature, human presence and movement. They last for about a year on a single battery and don't require an Internet connection to work.
You can upload your data to our cloud service for analysis via our free app, or use the optional Wimoto Cloud Cube to do it for you in realtime via Wifi. Instead of launching a weather app, wouldn't it be nice to know what the weather right outside your home is right now? Or if it's too dry or cold at night in your baby's bedroom? Or how long it take my fridge to cool down every time the door is opened? The Climote has literally hundreds of uses where you need precision temperature, humidity and light information. Imagine coming home from work, and your lawn telling you that it needs to be watered? A Great Looking App Press Coverage.

How to Make "Chembusters" (CB's) From Don Croft & Ken Adachi's "Goodbye Chemtrails, Hello Blue Skies! " on Educate-Yourself.org. History of the Cloudbuster The Wilhelm Reich Cloudbuster was well known for its ability to create rain. But a problem existed with its continued use, in that the deadly orgone energy that it absorbed could in fact hurt the operator if it was not correctly "drained off".
This "draining off" of deadly orgone energy was accomplished by 1. Connecting the Cloudbuster to a body of running water (difficult) or 2. The Cloudbuster Re-Invented By utilizing the research of Wilhelm Reich, we have created a cheap, portable and easy-to-build device that consistently destroys Chemtrails and heals the atmosphere. Join The Battle - Now! It is human nature to sit on the sidelines and think that one person cannot change the things that are happening to our country. With this device a mere few hundred concerned citizens can SHUT DOWN the multi-billion dollar chemtrail program. Chembuster Construction Details Dr.

Le gang de l'Hadopi n'en parle jamais, mais un des endroits où il est le plus simple et le plus marrant de s'échanger des fichiers (légalement et illégalement), c'est pendant les LAN party (jeux en réseaux). C'est avec cette idée en tête que David Darts a imaginé la Pirate Box ! Le concept est assez simple... Il s'agit d'une machine portable qui fait office de hotspot wifi (DD-WRT) avec un dock branché au cul, capable d'accueillir un disque SSD ou une clé USB, ainsi qu'un serveur web super léger en Python. Les gens participant à la LAN Party (ou peu importe l'événement) peuvent alors uploader leur fichiers directement dans cette Piratebox et récupérer les fichiers des autres.
L'originalité de la PirateBox, en plus de sa simplicité de "fabrication" et de sa portabilité, c'est aussi son look que personnellement, j'adore ! Pour mieux vous rendre compte du fonctionnement de la PirateBox, je vous laisse regarder cette vidéo : [Source] Suivez KorbenUn jour ça vous sauvera la vie.. Make Conductive Ink. Conductive Ink from Jordan Bunker There are so many cool projects out there that use conductive ink, but where to get the ink? Now you can DIY that part, too! Jordan Bunker of Pumping Station: One in Chicago embarked on this chemistry project and documented the UIUC process into easy-to-follow instructions. Conductive inks have a myriad of different interesting applications.
As a quick, additive construction method for electronic circuits, they are especially intriguing. Unfortunately, for a long time they have been just out of reach of the hobby market. As with most things worth doing, there are risks. NOTE: Please don’t do this at home unless you understand the risks and dangers and know how to avoid them. See the material list, full process, and trial and error on Jordan’s post. More:Drawing Circuits in Conductive Ink Willow Brugh Related.
Build a Touchless 3D Tracking Interface with Everyday Materials. Combine low-tech materials with some high-tech components and build a completely Touchless 3D Tracking Interface. Explore capacitive sensing by using several panels of cardboard lined with aluminum foil. These panels, when charged, create electric fields that correspond to X, Y, and Z axes to create a 3D cube.
With the aid of an Arduino microcontroller and some supplied code, movements inside the cube are tracked as your hand moves around inside the field. For Weekend Projects makers looking for an introduction to Arduino, this is a great project to learn from. Once you’ve gathered all your parts, this project should only take a couple hours to complete – you’ll be playing 3D Tic Tac Toe before the weekend is over! Once your touchless 3D tracker is up and running, what you do with it is only limited by your own imagination!

How to Make a Three-Pendulum Rotary Harmonograph. A harmonograph is a mechanical device that uses swinging pendulums to draw pictures, believed to be originally invented in 1844 by Scottish mathematician Hugh Blackburn. This 3-pendulum rotary type of harmonograph gives a wide variety of pleasant results, and is fairly easy to build once you've settled on a design and have acquired the appropriate materials and tools.
This is a great project to do with kids and can result in endless experiments creating new types of geometric designs. Skip to More Results and Movie Two lateral pendulums swing back and forth at right angles to each other with arms connecting to a pen. One moves the pen from side to side, and the second moves it from front to back on the paper. A third "rotary" pendulum moves the paper by swinging on any axis or in circular motions, while the pen is drawing on it.
Build Your Own ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE. The finished project is a 1981 Kawasaki KZ440, converted to electric. It is powered by four Optima Yellow Top sealed (AGM) lead-acid batteries, that drive a Briggs & Stratton Etek electric motor. The speed of the motor is controlled by an Alltrax brand "AXE" programmable controller that can run at up to 48 volts and 300 amps. Contrary to popular belief, and electric motorcycle is NOT silent, but is CONSIDERABLY quieter than a typical gas cycle. The cycle is GEARED to 45 mph, has fairly good acceleration, no clutch or transmission.
There's no oil to change, to mufflers to rust off, no air filter, no carbs to tweak, and no gasoline. The cycle recharges from the wall, through a renewable energy program, and if there is a blackout, I can actually run my house off my electric motorcycle! In this Instructable, I'll walk you through the work required with the motor, batteries, controller, and mounting all components, including showing you some low-tech paper and cardboard "CAD" tricks.
