_-= Uzzors2k =-_ Project Site

The physics behind it is to simply provide a magnetic force which equal and opposite to the gravitational force on the object. The two forces cancel and the object remains suspended. Practically this is done by a circuit which reduces electromagnet force when an object gets to close, and increases it when the object is out of range. Infrared Magnetic Levitator This circuit works by comparing the signals from the sensors with the first op-amp and sending out a voltage proportional to the difference or "error". Construction Details The top detector is a reference detector and the bottom one senses when an object is in levitating position. Wireless Power. A few years ago MIT created a system for transferring power wirelessly.

Wireless Power

They transmitted power over a two-meter distance, from the coil on the left to the coil on the right, where it powers a 60W light bulb. Back in 2006, this was a pretty cool thing. You can only imagine what the implications of something like this would be. Well, unlike most of us, we do not have the time or material goods like MIT has. So i have made this simple and easy to follow Instructable, so all of you good people can experience the joy of wireless power.

You can reference the parts list below or download the attached spreadsheet for more info on parts, part's numbers, vendors and application notes. Part: 10mm Diffused LED Vendor: HB Electronic Components Average cost: $0.20 avg per LED Notes: Cost reductions for larger quantities. Comes in red, blue, amber, white in both diffused and clear. Diffused works better than water clear for the Throwie application.

HB has even created a Throwies packs page with deals on 10mm LEDs and lithium batteries! Part: CR2032 3V Lithium Batteries Vendor: CheapBatteries.com Cost: $0.25 per battery Notes: Cost reductions for larger quantities. Part: 1-inch wide Strapping Tape Vendor: Your local hardware store Cost: $2.00 for one roll Notes: One roll will make many throwies. Electronic Drum Kit Shirt. Calling IN: A Less Disposable Way of Holding Each Other Accountable. By Ngọc Loan Trần I started having conversations on this practice of “calling in” after attending Race Forward’s Facing Race Conference in Baltimore, MD in 2012.

Calling IN: A Less Disposable Way of Holding Each Other Accountable

Facing Race was a gathering of thousands of people working on advancing racial justice. The space was full of energy, commitment, and a ride-or-die-and-put-it-all-on-the-line mentality for making sure we’ve got our bases covered in this fight against racism and dismantling white supremacy. What happens when thousands of people who all “get it” come together and everyone knows something about “the work”? We lose all compassion for each other.

I witnessed all types of fucked up behavior and the culture that we have created to respond to said fucked up behavior. Most of us know the drill. But what happens when that someone is a person we know — and love? Crop top DIY. ¿Tienes unos cuantos retales y te gustaría hacer tu propio crop top?

The open source industry have been at the forefront of open collaboration and innovation for sometime, and fostering innovation and collaboration remains a central selling point of most social business vendors.

The Open Source School Of Innovation

Despite the best will in the world however, recent research revealed that most internal social networks are regarded as failures by their owners. The open source movement have a proven track record in enabling a disparate community to collaborate and produce wonderfully innovative products. The following are three key lessons you can learn from how the open source industry go about their stuff. 3 ways you can innovate like the open source movement (1) Modularize the content – You want to create as few barriers to participation as possible. It also allows individuals with unique talents to see the part of the project where they can best apply those talents.

That project demanded that any participants made their discoveries open to the community to view and build upon. Swedes Develop Invisible Bike Helmet.
