25 years on, Microsoft makes another stab at stopping macro malware

Posted on by

Bravo to Microsoft, because it sounds like they’re doing something to improve the security of Office users. Way back in 1995, Microsoft accidentally shipped a virus on CD ROM. At first Microsoft refused to call it a virus, preferring to call it a… Continue reading 25 years on, Microsoft makes another stab at stopping macro malware→

Posted on by

In addition to more than cars that might sell for more than a million dollars, the Monterey Car Week auctions also throw up some remarkable cars that won’t fetch that mark, but are nonetheless, automotive treasures. This article is designed t… Continue reading 50 fascinating cars going to auction in Monterey for less than $1 million→

Sumitomo's concept tire harnesses friction to generate electricity

Posted on by

Sumimoto imagines initially its energy-harvesting device could be used to power things like tire pressure monitors

Capturing some of the energy in and around the wheels of a car as it travels down the road is an interesting idea, and one we’ve seen addressed by big tire makers before, such as Goodyear’s BH03 concept back in 2015. Japan’s Sumitomo Rubber is throwing another possibility out there, with a tire design that would leverage friction down below to produce electricity for the vehicle’s onboard accessories.

Here’s Why Hoverboard Motors Might Belong In Robots

Posted on by

[madcowswe] starts by pointing out that the entire premise of ODrive (an open-source brushless motor driver board) is to make use of inexpensive brushless motors in industrial-type applications. This usually means using hobby electric aircraft motors, but robotic applications sometimes need more torque than those motors can provide. Adding a gearbox is one option, but there is another: so-called “hoverboard” motors are common and offer a frankly outstanding torque-to-price ratio.

A teardown showed that the necessary mechanical and electrical interfacing look to be worth a try, so prototyping has begun. These motors are really designed for spinning a tire on …read more

Hackaday Prize Entry: DIY LCD based SLA 3D Printer

Posted on by

Resin-based SLA 3D printers are seen more and more nowadays but remain relatively uncommon. This Low Cost, Open Source, LCD based SLA 3D Printer design by [Dylan Reynolds] is a concept that aims to make DIY SLA 3D printing more accessible. The idea is to use hardware and manufacturing methods that are more readily available to hobbyists to create a reliable and consistent DIY platform.

[Dylan]’s goal isn’t really to compete with any of the hobbyist or prosumer options on the market; it’s more a test bed for himself and others, to show that a low-cost design that takes full …read more
