When working with an FDM 3D printer your first prints are likely trinkets where strength is less relevant than surface quality. Later on when attempting more structural prints, the settings …read more Continue reading One Object to Print, but So Many Settings!
When you think of NASA, you think of high-stakes, high-cost, high-pressure engineering, and maybe the accompanying red tape. In comparison, the hobby hacker has a tremendous latitude to mess up, …read more Continue reading The Freedom to Fail
The so-called Demon Core was a cursed object, a 6.2 kilogram mass of plutonium intended to be installed in a nuclear weapon. Instead, slapdash experimental techniques saw it feature in several …read more Continue reading Building a Glowing Demon Core Lamp
[mircemk] is quite a wizard when it comes to using coils of wires in projects, especially when their application is within easy-to-build metal detectors. There are all kinds of ways …read more Continue reading Metal Detector Gets Help From Smartphone
Helium is the most common element in the universe besides hydrogen, but despite this universal abundance it is surprisingly difficult to come across on Earth. Part of the problem is …read more Continue reading Helium Recovery System Saves Costs
We’ve all been there: you’re sitting at your bench, with a beaker full of some conductive fluid with a bunch of tiny particles suspended in it, and you want to …read more Continue reading Bringing Some Coulter To The Bench: Measuring Tiny Particles With Nanopore Sensing
Some of the coolest hacks do a lot with a little. I was just re-watching a video from [Homo Faciens], who after building a surprisingly capable CNC machine out of junk-bin parts and a ton of ingenuity, was accidentally challenged by Hackaday’s own [Dan Maloney] to take it a step …read more
A honeypot experiment shows just how quickly cybercriminals will move to compromise vulnerable cloud infrastructure. Continue reading Poorly Secured Docker Image Comes Under Rapid Attack
Who gives out more treats, dogs or wolves? Continue reading Scientists Gave Wolves Touchscreens to See If They’re Friendlier Than Dogs
There are a whole bunch of high school science experiments out there that are useful for teaching students the basics of biology, physics, and chemistry. One of the classics is the lemon battery. [iqless] decided to have a play with the idea, and whipped up a little something for his students.
The basic lemon battery is remarkably simple. Lemon juice provides the electrolyte, while copper and and zinc act as electrodes. This battery won’t have a hope of charging your Tesla, but you might get enough juice to light an LED or small bulb (pun intended).
[iqless] considered jamming electrodes …read more
