Some things go together, like chocolate and peanut butter. Others are more odd pairings, like bananas and bacon. We aren’t sure which category to put [IMSAI Guy]’s latest find in. …read more Continue reading Digital Microscope With An On-Screen Multimeter
[Danman] has digital door phones manufactured by Tesla — or at least, a Tesla, as they’re not to be confused with the carmaker, though. The problem is if someone comes …read more Continue reading Tesla Door Phone Decoded (Not That Tesla)
LTSpice and the underlying Spice engine does a great job of simulating ideal components. But it is also capable — if you know how — of handling models of real-world …read more Continue reading Practical Inductors in LTSpice
Video gamers know about cheat codes, but assembly language programmers are often in search of undocumented instructions. One way to find them is to map out all of a CPU’s …read more Continue reading Finding Undocumented 8086 Instructions Via Microcode
Illumos is an OpenSolaris-derived Unix system, and no Unix is complete without a C compiler or two. And with a name like Portable C Compiler (PCC), you would think that …read more Continue reading Illumos Gets a New C Compiler
Water is heavy, so if you think about it, a moving ocean wave has quite a bit of energy. Scientists have a new way to use triboelectric generators to harvest …read more Continue reading Improving Ocean Power with Static Electricity
If you want a strong magnet, the obvious answer is to buy one. However, for a variety of reasons, you might want to combine several smaller magnets. There are a …read more Continue reading Halbach Array Makes Magnets Strong, Weak
Detecting gravity waves isn’t easy. But what if you had a really big detector for a long time? That’s what researchers did when they crunched 15 years’ worth of data …read more Continue reading Gravity Wave Detector is Galactic Sized
We like to see people building things that are a little unusual, and we really like it when said unusual thing uses salvaged parts. This project from [JGJMatt] ticks all …read more Continue reading Planar Speaker Build Uses Hard Drive Magnets
A few days ago, I ran into an online post where someone pointed out the book “Learn to Program with Assembly” and asked if anyone had ever learned assembly language …read more Continue reading Ask Hackaday: Learn Assembly First, Last, or Never?
