Make Magazine posts a weekly step-by-step video on how to many some new fancy gadget. They also show this same project in the “weekend project” section of the magazine. This is a really cool one because it shows you how to make solar powered insects out of old scavenged electronic parts. It is an easy…

Alright, I am not sure if you are going to like the fact that I am doing my blog on parallel universes, but I am going to do it anyways. Sure, it’s not a new piece of technology, but I believe that it is technology that will help us prove and help us reach our…

Research funded by the US Air Force Research Laboratory has come up with a breakthrough battery, one that lasts some 30 odd years. The reason is that this battery uses a betavolic power cell, which means that it’s made from radioactive material. But unlike other batteries and nuclear power plants these batteries end their lives…

Its a chairs that assembles by itself. It has 14 motors and 2 gearboxes. its an impossible furnature to destory. this chair would come in handy for those who hate buying furnature that comes in a box with a bunch of little pieces that you have to assemble by yourself. just imagine if they did…

andrea polli sent me this link about a fellow, bjorn schulke, that does amazing robotic experiments involving solar panels, monitors, live feeds etc. Check him out.

Liquid Space is a space which physically reacts to the behavior of the visitor. Through the use of sensors, software and mechanisms, the space changes in form and sound. This way, a dynamic situation is created in which visitor and space become one.Liquid 2.0 which is under development is an interactive living cocoon which physically…

A group called C-Level (now disbanded) have modified a video game into a modded performance art fighting system that allows the player to feel pain emanating from the actual battle. Players are wired to electric bands that mimics the pain from the video game. The group travels around to venues and straps on willing participants….

This interactive table is pretty simple and works just as you probably have guessed – the LED lights light up around the object you put on the table. I’m not really liking the pulsing effect but each to their own. I think we can make something like this using photo resistors too(except it wont work…

Normally I’m not a huge fan of Microsoft, but I have to admit, this thing is pretty cool. It really reminds me of the table computer Sean Bean’s character had in “The Island.” While not as sophisticated as throwing windows across the table or designing a boat, there are several applications written for it already,…

A cool little thing I found online, Pandora Radio allows you to pick artists you like and then will create playlists based on the music’s “genome”. For example, if you like a song with heavy rock influences, light beats, and a unique voice, the radio will play songs with similar styles of music. It doesn’t…

This project comes from UnitedVisualArtists, a group specializing in the combination of art, design, and technology- and Battles, a ridunkulosly sweet band from New York. UVA created LED installations that create a great minimalistic contrast to the environment the video was filmed in. Although there’s nothing too groundbreaking going on here, the LED installations create…
