Build this open source DIY wind turbine for $30. Getting started with home wind energy projects can set you back a pretty penny if you buy a finished product, but if you're a little bit handy and don't mind scrounging for materials and getting creative in the garage or backyard, you can try your hand at building one of these DIY wind turbines for about $30 in materials.
How To Sharpen Tools: The Family Handyman. Sharpening your tools Years ago, I drove by a storefront with a hand-painted plywood sign.
It read “Tool Sharpening.” Curious, I gathered a boxful of dull old handsaws and circular saw blades in my garage and carried them up to the store with the hope of getting them sharpened. DIY Woodworking Tools. Pedal Powered Machines. Antique Farm Tools - Introduction (home-page)
Homemakable stuff. Surprising Material Could Play Role in Saving Energy. EVANSTON, Ill. --- One strategy for addressing the world’s energy crisis is to stop wasting so much energy when producing and using it, which can happen in coal-fired power plants or transportation.
Nearly two-thirds of energy input is lost as waste heat. Now Northwestern University scientists have discovered a surprising material that is the best in the world at converting waste heat to useful electricity. This outstanding property could be exploited in solid-state thermoelectric devices in a variety of industries, with potentially enormous energy savings. An interdisciplinary team led by inorganic chemist Mercouri G. Daniell Cell Tutorial. Daniell Cell This is a Java tutorial, which requires that you have Java, a free software, installed on your computer.
It works best if you have the latest version of Java installed. If you are having trouble viewing or using this tutorial, try downloading the latest version of Java. (6) Walther Grube. Farnell Newark Passive Components : CAPACITOR ELETROL ALUMIN 1F 5.5V. Rugged Temp Sensor Made for Difficult Environments from Spectrum Control Inc. Spectrum Sensors and Controls introduces a ruggedized sensor for monitoring temperature in challenging applications, such as high moisture environments where the sensor is subject to continuous freeze/thaw cycles.
The sensor's thermistor element is isolated from not only outside moisture, but also the high stress of freezing and thawing through a unique, swaged end design that provides an excellent moisture seal between the cable and housing. This ruggedized temperature sensor delivers quick response and excellent thermal tracking and is ideal for HVAC, food and beverage and refrigeration system applications. Features Waterproof to IP68Tested to 10,000 freeze/thaw thermal cyclesWide operating temperature range: -40°C to 105°CDesign allows for quick response and excellent thermal trackingExcellent for freeze/thaw applications in HVAC, Food and Beverage, and refrigeration systems.
STULZ DH-100™ from Stulz Air Technology Systems, Inc. STULZ DH-100 units produce dry air to prevent corrosion, increase readiness, reduce maintenance, and improve Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) for electronic systems. With the STULZ DH-100 dehumidifiers, humidity can be controlled below levels at which moisture condenses on surfaces, thereby preventing corrosion, mold and mildew formation. The heart of the units are STULZ proprietary desiccant dehumidification wheel. A PTC electric resistance heater is used for regeneration and low speed-low noise compact blowers are used to move supply and regeneration air throughout the unit.
Other elements include a small drive motor and belt to rotate the wheel, an integral humidistat, and a customized printed circuit board. HACKOLOG - Amazing Hacks and Mods. For all those environment enthusiasts, we have an inexpensive device that you can set up in your house to verify the air quality at home.
Read on to know more on this. This device can be used to know how clean and safe the air is inside your home This can be used to avoid getting affected by respiratory diseases like asthma. It will also help to precisely identify and correct any pollution sources at home. The air monitor is built using a Sharp Optical Dust Sensor model GP2Y1010AU0F, which is connected to an Arduino board via an Ethernet connection. The Arduino program sets a 10ms sequence of detection for the optical sensor.

Non-glare nanotextured multifunctional glass repels water and dust. Glass has a unique look - despite its clarity you can tell there is a material there by the way it reflects light, and that it isn't plastic or crystal.
Glass, however, carries problems, like glare, fogging, and collects dirt. A group of MIT researchers has found a new way to create arrays of conical micron-scale surface nanotextures to produce glass that is self-cleaning, non-glare, and non-fogging. The researchers believe the nanotextured surface can be made at low enough cost to be applied to optical devices, the screens of smartphones and televisions, solar panels, car windshields and even windows in buildings. 10 incríveis máquinas Lego que realmente funcionam. RGB laser projector – 0,5W. Projector consists of three laser modules: red (650nm), green (532nm) and violet (405nm).
Light beam emitted by these lasers are combined by interference filters, also called dichroic mirrors or just “dichro”. The principle of those filters operation is similar to the principle of Fabry-Perot interferometer operation. The effect is that light of a given wavelength (or a band) is very well reflected, while others are very well passed (or vice versa). Solidoodle 2 – the sub-$500 3D printer. For about a year, former aerospace engineer Sam Cervantes served as the chief of operations for Makerbot, the Brooklyn-based 3D printer manufacturer.
While the reasons for his departure hasn’t been made public, his subsequent activities have – he’s been developing another 3D printer, known as the Solidoodle. He recently unveiled the latest model, the Solidoodle 2, which comes fully-assembled for just under $500. View all Like other home 3D printers, the Solidoodle creates actual objects based on computer files, by depositing layers of molten plastic on a platform. Different colors of finished products are achieved simply by using different colors of filament plastic stock. The Solidoodle 2 is capable of building objects measuring up to 6 x 6 x 6 inches (15.24 cm), which is a step up from the original model’s 4-inch (10 cm) limit. Open Vision Control.

Electronics. Diy. Photography. Turbosail. Technical design[edit] Concept[edit] In 1980, Jacques Cousteau dreamed of creating a ship with a modern engine that would be powered, at least in part, by the wind, a clean, free, renewable energy source. Aerodynamics[edit] Calypso II. Calypso II, " Watchdog of the Planet ", will be an observation platform where Captain Cousteau's spirit of environmental and human discovery will live on. Fifty years of experience with Calypso and Alcyone enabled Captain Cousteau to define a list of specific tasks for Calypso II.
The ship itself is conceived as a laboratory for non-polluting technology. Innovations include the shape of its hull as well as the combination diesel-Turbosail propulsion system, navigation equipment and computerized monitoring networks.
