Collaborate Disseminate
Bicycle generator technology has advanced far beyond the bottle dynamos of years past, which as often as not would introduce enough drag when engaged to stall the bike. Granted, it’s …read more Continue reading Battery-less Bike Computer Gets Power and Data from the Wheels
Global supply chain issues are beginning to hit closer to home for the hacker community, as Raspberry Pi has announced their first-ever price increase on their flagship Pi 4. The …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: October 31, 2021
In the video game Metro 2033 and its subsequent sequels, players fight their way through a post-apocalyptic version of Russia using improvised weapons and tools cobbled together from the sort of bits and bobs the survivors of a nuclear war might be able to scavenge from the rubble. One of …read more

Remember those “bottle”-type dynamos that rubbed against the side of your bike tire in order to power the lights? Well, they’ve gotten a high-tech makeover, in the form of the fork-mounted CadenceX generator – its creators say that it can rep… Continue reading CadenceX reimagines the bottle dynamo for the 21st Century
Our planet’s core probably started solidifying in the late Ediacaran period, which recharged the magnetic field in the nick of time. Continue reading Earth’s Magnetic Field Almost Collapsed 565 Million Years Ago
We all know that hacker that won’t use a regular compiler. If he’s not using assembly language, he uses a compiler he wrote. If you don’t know him, maybe it is you! If you really don’t know one, then meet these two. [Nathan Fuller] and [Andy Baldwin] want to encourage you to write your own 3D slicer.
Their post is very detailed and uses Autodesk Dynamo as a graphical programming language. However, the details aren’t really specific to Dynamo. It is like a compiler. You sort of know what it must be doing, but until you’ve seen one taken apart, …read more
