There are many situations in which it’s important to know how much force one object is applying to another item. A small, thin sticker has been designed to measure and relay such data, without requiring wires or batteries.Continue ReadingCategory: Scie… Continue reading Tiny radio-powered sticker measures force applied between objects

If you’re not a woodworker, you might not have heard of the “45-degree rule.” It goes like this: a clamp exerts a force that radiates out across a triangular region …read more Continue reading Exploring Woodworking Mysteries with Strain Gauges and Raspberry Pi
Sometimes a problem is more important than its solution. Humans love to solve mysteries and answer questions, but the most rewarding issues are the ones we find ourselves. Take [Surjan Singh], who wanted to see if he could calculate the weight of his Saab 96. Funny enough, he doesn’t have …read more
When we pick up an object, we can adjust our grip if that object proves to be a slippery customer and we can use a combination of senses to determine if an object needs a delicate touch. ETH researchers have developed a sensor that could help robot gri… Continue reading Sensor skin could give robot grippers a delicate touch
[Umar Qattan] is in tune with his sole and is trying hard to listen to what it has to say.
At a low level, [Umar] is building an insole with an array of force sensors in it. These sensors are affixed to a flexible PCB which is placed in a …read more

Exactly how much work is required to pedal a bike? There are plenty of ways to measure the power generated by a cyclist, but a lot of them such as heavily instrumented bottom brackets and crank arms, can be far too expensive for casual use. But for $30 in parts you can build this power-measuring bike pedal. and find out just how hard you’re stoking.
Of course it’s not just the parts but knowing what to do with them, and [rabbitcreek] has put a lot of thought and engineering into this power pedal. The main business of measuring the force …read more
