Operation. This is the moment that you have been working toward- the first operation of your Tesla Coil! But you need to make sure that you do not jump the gun and do something stupid to mess it up. It is not uncommon for an electronics project to not work on its first run, so don't get your hopes too high, as I did. There are only a few more safety things I must cover, so bear with me. First of all, Operate this OUTDOORS! Another safety tip that is essential is have a Type C rated fire extinguisher within arm's reach! Now for the operation. Put the Tesla Coil on the ground about 20 feet away from anything you don't want broken, including people. The only fun things to put on the Tesla coil that I found were Fluorescent Bulbs. If you have a camera with adjustable shutter speed, take an over-exposure of the streamers. I end this project with two tips: Be safe, and have fun!
Here is my YouTube channel with the videos that I took of the original Tesla Coil. Laser cutting for everyone. One such business gives people the option of getting a file printed somewhere else. The website Ponoko specializes in such printing. Anyone can submit a file, choose a material, and Ponoko will cut it out for them for a fee. The best part is that small, one-off pieces can be made so builders can just upload a file, send it to be printed and get in the mail a short time later. Beyond just cutting, the laser cutters can also etch materials. In this mode, the laser cutter burns an image into the surface of a material, line by line. The effect is different for each type of material. Another nice trick is to do a vector cut, but use very little power. In many ways, laser cutters are very useful for moving quickly from idea to reality.

Quand un serpent bot de 15 mètres rencontre une Mondo Spider [vidéo] Effrayant, c'est le mot qui cacartérise le mieux le robot Titanoboa. Il se meut à la manière d'un serpent. Et quand la créature de 15 mètres de long rencontre une Mondo Spider, le cauchemar est à son comble. Il mesure 15 mètres mètres de long. Fait d'acier, il est surtout bardé d'électronique qui lui permet de se mouvoir tel un boa. Dans la vidéo, on peut le voir rencontrer le robot araignée Mondo Spider piloté par un homme. Le Titanoboa a été fabriqué par Charlie Brinson qui a tout de même dépensé 10 000$ pour arriver à ses fins. Le créateur n'a pas donné beaucoup d'informations techniques mais on sait qu'il utilise largement l'hydraulique pour le mouvoir. [hackaday via dvice] Un véhicule RC qui roule à toute vapeur.
Le véhicule RC à trois roues que vous allez voir a une particularité qui le rend singulier. Son créateur a opté pour la vapeur pour le mouvoir. La machine possède un look qui sort du commun : peinture rose, des roues à crampons, des suspensions avec beaucoup de battement et une vitesse de pointe qui n'en fait pas un véhicule de course. Ce véhicule RC a été construit par prallplatte (son pseudo sur YouTube). Il a posté cette vidéo qui nous fait découvrir les pistons, le brûleur qui vient chauffer l'eau… Un mélange étonnant puisqu'il est également doté d'un petit écran LCD et qu'il est donc radiocommandé.

Arduino Laser Show with Full XY Control. Robotic claw business card. The trickiest part of this project, as is often the case, was the design stage. I started with an idea in my mind of a business card that involved gears and that could move in an interesting way, but very little beyond that.
I knew that it had to meet the following specifications: Must be able to fit on a 3.5" by 2" business card Must not be unreasonably thick Must have room on which to print an email address and a logo Must have one simple lever or slider by which to control the mechanism At first, I expected Number 1 on this list to cause the biggest problems, as 7 square inches really didn't sound like much space for a set of working gears. After a bit of playing with the laser cutter and some scrap card, however, I found I was able to cut effective gears which were incredibly small. I'm fairly sure that it would be possible to make this card half its current size without any functional problems. Recommendations. L’imprimante Graffiti pixélisé ? De la bombe !

3D Magnetic Field Viewer. 5 minute DNA Extraction in a Shot Glass. Despite its exotic-sounding name, DNA is ubiquitous - it can be found in every cell of every living thing and almost everywhere on the planet. Nonetheless, we rarely come face-to-face with the molecule itself - and it's not because DNA is difficult to find or isolate! In this instructable, we'll show you how to isolate your own DNA with little more than some dish soap, table salt, high-proof alcohol, a shot glass, and a bit of your own saliva.
It only takes a couple of minutes, and after you've isolated your own DNA, you can either drink it back down in a tasty "DNA shot" (great party trick) or better yet, purify it further for more analysis*. Materials & Set Up This instructable was produced by DIYbio - an organization for amateur biotechnologists. EDIT: Some DIYbioers are developing a simple gel box and a gel box on steroids. The Slime. Thick slime You can see this step in the following video or keep reading Take half a spoon of your borax solution and add it to your mucilage solution. Stir. You will notice an immediate change in your mucilage solution: it becomes slimy. Depending of the texture you want (the one I did is thicker), add more or less borax.
If you want an elastic slime, do not add too many borax solution; if you want a thicker slime, add more borax. Once you are done, take your slime out of the flask and mold it with your hands. It tends to dry, so use a Ziploc bag to store it. Translucent, more elastic, and "slimier" slime Making this kind of slime is basically the same as doing a thick slime.
The other difference is that you have to make it in batches. Here is the video: Now that you are done, read on to see the explanation of what happened while you play with your slime and learn, among other things, what "rheopectic" means. 5-minute Chocolate Cake. 2n3055 flyback transformer driver for beginners. Intro: This instructable will show you how to make a cheap and simple driver circuit in order to get high voltage arcs out of a component called a flyback transformer. A flyback transformer, sometimes called a line output transformer are used in older CRT TV's and computer monitors to produce the high voltage needed to power the CRT and electron gun. They also have other auxiliary windings built into them that the TV manufacturers use to power other parts of the TV, so they are usually customised by the manufacturers. For the high voltage experimenter they are used to make high voltage arcs, which is what this instructable will show you how to do with just a few simple electronic components.
You can get flyback transformers out of older CRT monitors and TV's. Disclaimer I am in no way responsible if you mess up with this circuit. What you will need: 1x Flyback transformer 1x 2n3055 transistor + heatsink 1x 220 ohm 5 watt resistor A fast diode. Desktop Terrarium with Night Light.

Whichever business you’re in, and especially for anyone in the field of design, such as web designers, a business card can be as important as your website identity.
A business card creates a physical connection and bond between you or your business and your customers. Just like in a website, business cards can become great interactive elements, but with the added ability to have real textures, different materials and shapes. In this article, we’ll take a look at 100 truly outstanding business card designs which show that there are truly no limits to the design of a business card. Which ones are your favorites? How important is a business card for you? A bit of green :: arch :: bits. Searching for vertical garden examples, I stumbled upon those plans for a free standing hydroponic plant wall. It’s a proposal for a botanical garden or a public space, that consists of three large curved walls, free standing, with over than 11.000 plants on the sides of the walls. The plans were made by Peter Kastan, the co-writer of the blog Jungle Walls.
The design is colorful, a mix of digital and traditional-like media. Enjoy! Posted by Kynthia on November 7th 2010 in arch :: bits, extras Remember that post about vertical gardens? I tried to gather information on how to make one, in case you’re one of those with green fingers and not enough space to exercise them, or just want your own green wall.
