You’ve probably seen hand sanitizer stations popping up all over the place. While this seems to be a good thing, if you’re not exactly average height-wise, it’s likely they weren’t exactly designed for you. As a way to help both tall and short, and especially kids whose height varies considerably, Jegatheesan Soundarapandian has come up with […]
Often when working with Arduino projects, you’ll need to generate a random number. There’s a random() function built into the IDE that works acceptably in many cases, but maker_ATOM wanted to take things to the next level, creating an “over engineered true random value generator.” This device sits on top of an Arduino Uno as a shield, […]
If you want to get better at billiards, the conventional wisdom is to practice. However, if you’re YouTuber Shane Wighton, you build a robotic cue to play the game for you. His device looks like a cross between a pool stick, a sci-fi robot, and a heavily-modified weed wacker. Instead of precisely manipulating the cue, you […]
Often you might see a recycling bin next to a trash can, and notice that someone else has thrown their waste into the wrong container. To help with this conundrum, the team of Shalin Jain, Viraj Singh, Edward Chen, and Joshua Kim created a double-sided container that sorts things automatically. Their device, dubbed “Splash,” takes a webcam image of the […]
When you read a book, or… other website, you may find your mind wandering from time to time. This isn’t always a big deal, but if you want to ensure that you’re getting every last bit of information on a page, YouTuber “I made this” may have the perfect solution. His “program that could tell if […]
Geodesic domes, approximately spherical structures made from an arrangement of triangular faces, are fascinating in and of themselves. Add light and sound, as was done here by students at the University of Málaga in Spain, and you have something truly magical. Their device is a derivation Jon Bumstead’s larger dome project, shrinking his 120-triangle design down to a […]
Do you need a hug? Are friends and family not around? As seen here, researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) and ETH Zürich may have just the solution in the form of HuggieBot 2.0. Based on a previous robot created by one of the paper’s co-authors Alexis E. Block, HuggieBot 2.0 uses computer vision […]
The Coanda effect, as you may or may not know, is what causes flowing air to follow a convex surface. In his latest video, James Bruton shows how the concept can used as a sort of inverted ping pong ball waterfall or staircase. His 3D-printed rig pushes balls up from one fan stage to another, […]
Creator DuctTapeMechanic loves sports and electronics, so for a recent project he decided to combine his two passions by hacking a speed bag to keep track of his punches. As shown in the video below, the first step was to get it physically set up, modding an old metal bed frame into a support structure. […]
After obtaining motors from a broken wheelchair, this father-son duo went to work turning them into a new “Segway.” The DIY transporter is controlled by an Arduino Uno, along with a pair of motor drivers that handle the device’s high current needs. An MPU-6050 allows it to react as the rider leans forward and backwards, moving […]
