While many enjoy roller coasters, few can claim the same dedication of engineer Matt Schmotzer, who 3D-printed a 1/25th scale replica of Invertigo, a boomerang coaster at Kings Island in Ohio. Since I was little I had this dream of becoming a roller coaster designer, like many others. I had made a few static models…
Hydroponics is an effective way of growing plants indoors through the use of water medium and artificial lighting. It often involves having a system to raise and lower the water level around the plants to let the roots breathe, however this can require some non-trivial plumbing. Peter Fröhlich, though, decided to go a different route,…
EduExo, now available on Kickstarter, is an attempt by robotics researcher Volker Bartenbach to bring this technology to the masses. “Our goal is to make exoskeleton technology accessible. To achieve this, we are developing the EduExo robotic exoskeleton, an affordable STEM education kit for students, teachers, makers and hobbyists. The kit is designed as a…
Gesture keyboard is a library used to convert accelerometer data to a sequence of characters and sentences. Federico Terzi build a module using an Arduino Pro Micro, a MPU-6050 as accelerometer and a HC-06 Bluetooth module for sending signals to his laptop. A Python library using Scikit-learn’s SVM (Support Vector Machine) algorithm then translates the motion…
Anyone interested in photography will appreciate this Kickstarter campaign, most of all if you enjoy capturing time lapse motion photography of products, landscapes or subjects by keeping their videos engaging using timed movement. A Time Slider is a time lapse motion and camera control system with modular tracks. It’s Open-Source, modular and portable so it…
Are you sure? Are you telling me the truth? How many times have you heard these words from you partner? With Dante Roumega’s lie detector it’s time to move on. This system works by measuring an individual’s galvanic skin response, which is a fancy way of saying their conductivity. The basis for the project is that our skin changes its conductivity depending…
