As winter approaches and the nights begin to draw in it's more important than ever to be visible when out running or cycling. Last winter I had several near misses when out running, despite wearing high visibility gear, this year I'm taking no chances! EL wire or, electro luminescent wire, is a thin translucent wire which glows when an alternating current is applied to it. EL wire is widely available online, cheap, and is often supplied with pre soldered connections. I'll be the first to admit there are no shortage of wearable EL wire projects on instructables but I think mine is a little bit different.

As I wanted to run in the jacket I needed to be able to detach all of the electronic components so that I could wash the jacket (something that needs to happen VERY often for running gear) hence the need for semi permanent connections. Read on to find out how to create your own ultra high visibility running jacket! Mulitple Copies with Router and Templates. E-Book Scanner. Build your own cell phone, complete with laser-cut case. The smart phone is changing our lives and our priorities, but not everyone needs one, and not everyone can afford one. Designboom shows the work of David Mellis, a Phd student at MIT Media Lab. He has designed a DIY GSM phone out of about 60 components and a laser-cut wood case. David Mellis via Designboom/CC BY 2.0 Is it enough for people today? Does it make sense to build your own when there must be a couple of million old flip phones that could be reused? I wonder. More images at Designboom.

How to Make Oil Paint. To get started making oil paint, you’ll need: 1) Cold-pressed, raw, or unrefined linseed oil – Linseed oil tends to do much of the heavy lifting in many oil based paint formulations. The reason is that unlike most plant based oils, linseed oil is known as a drying oil. For example, if you were to spill some olive oil on your countertop, chances are it would still be wet to the touch many weeks later. Linseed oil is different in that if you were to spill some on your counter, it would dry to form a tough film within a few days.

While you’ll be able to find linseed oil at most artist supply shops, you can also find it at the grocery store as flax seed oil. 2) Pigment – Pigment can be found online, or at most artist supply stores. Ultramarine has been around for eons, and until synthetic versions of it were produced in the 1800s, it used to be among the most expensive pigments available to painters, where it was used to represent virtue, holiness, and despite its high cost, humility. Very Simple Arduino Electric Lock. Well first you need a Arduino, i used a Diecimila but any type would work. The lock i am using is La Gard ENV 1300 type lock, i bought like 6 of them for 10 bucks on EBay. You can not use just any type of lock, like a regular door lock, it must be electronic based. It needs to work in the following manner: Inside this lock is a deadbolt, now what keeps this deadbolt closed is a very simple electromagnet. When you put power through this electromagnet it allows the lock to be open.

I included a picture of the inside of the lock where you can see how it works: Power goes to the electromagnet which pulls back a pin that releases and frees a wedge. Theoretically you could create your own electromagnetic lock, or use a simple motor or something but that is for a different instructable. You will also need a basic transistor: I used a 2N2222 from radio shack Now if you want to open it through other means than just the computer your need: A Bluetooth phone, i am using a Touch Pro with Windows Mobile. How to turn an old-school rotary phone into an input device. iCons in Medicine - Rehabilitation Services Community >> Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (RERC) >> RERC > Development > Casting System. This project builds upon our previously developed and patented CIR Transtibial Prosthetic Casting System. We are currently developing and testing a new Prosthetic Casting System that can be used to fabricate Transfemoral (above-knee) and Transradial (below-elbow) sockets.

Much like the Transtibial Prosthetic Casting System, this new system will allow prosthetists to fabricate sockets more quickly using a reusable material, such as sand, instead of plaster. Using traditional methods, a prosthetic socket is fabricated over a two-day period, and requires the patient to come to the clinic for two visits. CIR’s Prosthetic Casting System allows the prosthetist to fabricate a transtibial prosthesis in under one hour and to provide the prosthesis to the patient during a single visit.

As an alternative to sand, we are exploring other reusable materials that are lighter and allow for greater control when forming the trimlines of the socket. Exclusif acier inoxydable Firebowl !!! In this instruction I will show you how I how to make an unique an elegant fire bowl for your garden! It's just made of ONE laser cut sheet metal, so there's no drilling, welding or screwing needed. If you have a computer with a CAD-programm and a telephone to instruct your locksmith you will have a very nice and elegant fire bowl without putting too much effort in it! For transport or storage this fire bowl can be disassembled very easy, so it doesn't need much space.

So let's get started: At first you should check the measurements of your terrace to get an idea about the bowls size. My fire bowl has a diameter of 1,3 meters, I think that's a good size even to have a REAL fire;-) After that you can think about the design. I don't have that much space, so I chose to make an fife-cornered fire bowl. EDC Leather Notebook. A notebook that goes everywhere with you should be used for everything. On one page of my notebook I have an Ira Glass quote, my upcoming flight information, and a grocery list.

On the next page are plans for my last ‘Ible. I couldn’t have done that in a Moleskine notebook. I feel like anything I write in a Moleskine has to be perfect; the ideas have to be complete. An EDC (everyday carry) notebook shouldn’t be something pristine. It needs to be something you can scribble notes in and rip pages out of. This notebook is infinitely customizable. There’s a template that can be sized up or down. Why else would you want to make your own leather notebook? Géométrique Carton lampe. Easy Flyback Driver. Tails pour les Twins Serpent. It all started on paper. Meeting with Jon, we sketched and talked until we got a good idea of what the tail should be. We made some early 3D models, then printed those out and sketched over the top of them. We looked up pictures of classic viking and art deco structures. Back and forth until the idea was solid. It's important early on to figure out what your goals are for a given project, because it's easy to loose your way when you get into the thick of solving problems.

Homemade Oil/Air Pump from Car Parts. Comment faire un globe de plasma ou le conducteur de la bobine d'allumage. Hi if you are looking for a plasma globe driver or you want to make an ignition coil that zaps things, you have come to the right place. Recommended for people experienced in electronics only! If your interested in jets here is mine: First some safety issues; this project runs off 240v AC or 120v AC so please be very careful as house hold current can kill instantly, if you touch a live wire your hand will grab the wire and you wont be able to let go.

I found this out the hard way. To make this the components you will require are: An ignition coil the old sort. A light dimmer preferably over 1.5amps or 400w Wire any sort A large light globe incandescent for the plasma globe A container if your making a plasma globe A cord that can plug in to the power point, please don't take the one of the TV or fridge find an old one that is no longer needed. Some oil and a jar if you have a low rated dimmer.

Because it's been 30 years since I studied electronics I took the easy way out, I just used the whole circut board from the TV chassis. I cut off the leads to the vertical and horz magnet drivers, and the heater in the tube, this left me with a single board which had the coveted flyback, I also cut off the tuner section of the board because it stuck out another 3' To be simple I cut every wire to the tube, the large single wire to the side of the tube is what you want to use, if you didn't know that, then don't start this project. Pay attention! TV Tubes store their voltages for quite a while, days, weeks, months, so when you disconnect the flyback wire from the side of the tube treat it as if it is on running at full voltage, I grounded mine with a pair of gloves and a screw driver connected to the TV ground, then I put tape over the hole on the side of the tube so as to not acidently discharge it into me.

High voltage power supply for Nixies, CFL, Neon-Glow-Bulbs etc. for my steampunk objects. Hi everybody This instructable is also a summary of my own experiances in constructing funky light objects using the electronic from a disposal camera, as the knowledge of other projects and constructive ideas from the internet. So it was my aim to write an clear DIY :-)))))) tutorial which can be followed by everyone who tries to do it for him- (her)self. Before I started my instructable career, I was looking severeal times in the internet and found a lot of similiar projects which worked with this electronic. There was only one problem to me because nearly all of them had one common mistake: You never saw where to solder exactly the last wire to finish the project successfull! That´s why I sat down and tried to find out my own best solution.

And now here comes my solution in which way I use to work with and I hope that will answer most of your questions about it. Second: Don´t wreck your health and please obay the follwing advices: This instructable involves soldering. Steampunk Bougie plasma. ApocalypsEV. Pignons plasma. When it comes to power transmission in drivable DYI projects such as go-karts and ATVs sprocket gears, sometimes called chain gears, offer several advantages over other types of power transmission such as belts/pulleys and meshing gears. 1.

Unlike belts they can transmits large amounts of torque 2. Unlike meshing gears they don't need to be constantly lubricated 3. Unlike belts and mesh-gears the spacing between gear centers can be easily adjusted by shortening/lengthening the chain However, getting the right size/right pitch gear can be an impossible task for some DIY projects. The obvious solution when a sprocket gear is wanted, but can’t be found, is to make your own. This is where plasma-sprockets enter the scene. In addition to creating sprocket gears that can be effectively cut with a CNC plasma table; plasma-sprockets do what no other gear or pulley has done before - allow you to take them on and off the middle of an axle without having to take the axle off. Laptop backlight repair.

The backlight for the LCD screen in most laptops is a cold-cathode fluorescent lamp, which is basically just a small fluorescent tube. Just like fluorescent room lighting, they eventually burn out. Unlike room lighting, they are not made to be replaceable. Here's my quick and dirty (and cheap) project to replace the lamp on my old laptop, who's backlight burnt out recently. I expect you could make this look a lot better if you were willing to put some more money into sourcing parts. Materials: Screwdrivers, Dremel, electrical tape, wire crimping tubes. The specifics of disassembling any particular laptop are going to vary widely, so I'm going to skip that step for simplicity.

NOTE: High resolution photos available on Flickr: Repair an Exposed Wire with Sugru. Créer propre membrane du clavier numérique (et le brancher à l'Arduino) The first thing I want you to understand is how this keypad works. I know what you're thinking... Matrix keypad?... "I'm not going to have to take any blue pills to get this to work am I? ". No its not that matrix.. A matrix is pretty much a grid like in battleship consisting of rows and columns. each button corresponds to a certain row and column. The point of this is instead of having 9 different buttons to wire up, all you would need to do is wire up 3 columns and 3 rows for significantly less wires.

Create own Membrane Matrix Keypad (and hooking it up to the Arduino) Repairing broken mambrane print. Hi all. First of all, this is my first instructable and English isn't my native language so please be gentle. I made this tut as first of a couple that will come. I want to make a simple robot with old electronics and I want to use an old ZX Spectrum as the main CPU. To do this I first modded the Speccie so I could plug it into the AV connector of the TV or a little monitor. I used this site for the mod. And off course as what in the disclaimer stood happens to me. A quote of the website: "These keyboard membranes were never the most robust component and aged ones are probably more fragile - don’t strain or bend them ribbons.

" After carefully loosen the ribbons the 5 pin ribbon did break. So I will let you see how I did it. Repair Plastic Parts. Repair Computer Keyboard. LCD On-board Powers Supply Repair.
