The Kinkajou Bottle Cutter

The Kinkajou Bottle Cutter
Recycle, reuse – thats the motto we have all been trying to live by ever since this “global warming” issue came into effect but now it just got a bit easier. Introducing the Kinkajou Bottle Cutter (yes the name explains itself). Read more after the jump! You can now make use of your used beer bottles by simply using this tool. The Kinkajou bottle cutter scores the glass allowing you to simply place the bottle under hot water (or alternating hot and cold depending on the bottle) until the top smoothly breaks off. Sandpaper is included to smooth the edges and voila! Related

Hilarious Movie Clichés, Part II After our self-titled post Hilarious Movie Clichés was spread around the web, the Art Director/Creative Director behind it, Alvaro Naddeo, took notice. Last year, his agency, Wing in New York, came up with this creative ad campaign for the New York International Latino Film Festival with posters making fun of movie cliches. It generated a lot of buzz online and, according to Naddeo, many of you saw them right here on My Modern Met. For this new set, he was kind enough to email them right to us.

Mary Louise Parker Naked Photos - Mary Louise Parker Ass 1 of 5 Photograph by Christa Renee Watch sexy videos of Mila Kunis, Kate Beckinsale, and Megan Fox >> Dear Ms. Parker, This time, we don't know what to say. It's been what, eight or nine years that we've been together now? So, on behalf of men everywhere, thank you for all the words and the pictures so far, and now the pie, which is really too much. Sincerely, Esquire A Thank-You Note to Men By Mary-Louise Parker To you, whom it may concern: How to Make a Pie Turn your oven to 425 degrees. When that stuff gets cold, take out the bowl and blade and put in 2 3/4 cups of flour, a teaspoon of sugar, and a teaspoon of salt. Slowly pour, like, 7 or 8 tablespoons of the ice water in with the flour gravel and pulse it till it comes together into a ball that isn't sticky. Roll the pucks into circles bigger than a pie.

3V to 24V Variable Power Supply This 3V to 24 volt variable-regulated power supply can be adjusted from 3 to 25 volts and is current limited to 2 amps as shown, but may be increased to 3 amps or more by selecting a smaller current sense resistor (0.3 ohm). The 2N3055 and 2N3053 transistors should be mounted on suitable heat sinks and the current sense resistor should be rated at 3 watts or more. Voltage regulation is controlled by 1/2 of a 1558 or 1458 op-amp. The 1458 may be substituted in the circuit below, but it is recommended the supply voltage to pin 8 be limited to 30 VDC, which can be accomplished by adding a 6.2 volt zener or 5.1 K resistor in series with pin 8. The maximum DC supply voltage for the 1458 and 1558 is 36 and 44 respectively. The power transformer should be capable of the desired current while maintaining an input voltage at least 4 volts higher than the desired output, but not exceeding the maximum supply voltage of the op-amp under minimal load conditions.

List of English language idioms This is a list of notable idioms in the English language. An idiom is a common word or phrase with a culturally understood meaning that differs from what its composite words' denotations would suggest. For example, an English speaker would understand the phrase "kick the bucket" to mean "to die" – and also to actually kick a bucket. Furthermore, they would understand when each meaning is being used in context. An idiom is not to be confused with other figures of speech such as a metaphor, which invokes an image by use of implicit comparisons (e.g., "the man of steel" ); a simile, which invokes an image by use of explicit comparisons (e.g., "faster than a speeding bullet"); and hyperbole, which exaggerates an image beyond truthfulness (e.g., like "missed by a mile" ). Idioms are also not to be confused with proverbs, which are simple sayings that express a truth based on common sense or practical experience. Visit Wiktionary's Category for over eight thousand idioms. See also[edit]

DIY Bike Rollers It is my personal belief that many people own bicycles, and that many of those people aren't interested in riding for pleasure / exercise when it is raining, snowing, dark, etc. outside, and that many of those people would ride their bicycle indoors if they had a fun and challenging device that allowed them to do so, and that many of those people would build such a device themselves if given the encouragement and advice to do so. Thus, if my calculations are correct, this Instructable my indeed be appropriate for, and benefit many people. DIY Bike Rollers from Jason Sauers on Vimeo. Some people prefer stands and other types of trainers over rollers, but to me there are a few appealing aspects of rollers vs others: More enjoyable Faster / more intense Workouts More challenging / engaging Better all-over body workout No adapting or installation - just set the bike on and go P.S.

Smelting iron ore in a microwave As part of his attempt at manufacturing a toaster from scratch(!), Thomas Thwaites had to figure a way to smelt his own iron (for the grill piece) - Finding ways to process the raw materials on a domestic scale is also an issue. For example, my first attempt to extract metal involved a chimney pot, some hair-dryers, a leaf blower, and a methodology from the 15th century – this is about the level of technology we can manage when we’re acting alone. I failed to get pure enough iron in this way, though if I’d tried a few more times and refined my technique and knowledge of the process I probably would’ve managed in the end. Instead I found a 2001 patent about industrial smelting of Iron ores using microwave energy. It’ll be very interesting to see how this project turns out – see more of the process & progress on the Toaster Project site. Collin Cunningham collin@makezine.com Related

Whoa dude iModela, Roland's $1000 hobbyist CNC milling machine We've covered the iModela, Roland's $1000 hobbyist CNC milling machine over at MAKE, but here's a new photo showing some of the things you can make with it. A milling machine is sort of the opposite of a 3D printer, because it carves away material from a piece of stock, while a 3D printer adds material. I think home-based 3D printing is not yet ready for prime time, because the spatial resolution of the things you can make with 3D printers is not that great. It will get better in the coming years. But the output from this milling machine looks great (as far as I can tell from the photos). [Video Link] iModela
