We don’t typically use gasoline engines smaller than 50 cc or so on a regular basis. Below that size, electric motors are typically less messy and more capable of doing …read more Continue reading Tiny Gasoline Engine Fitted With A Custom Billet Waterpump
Once upon a time, 3D printing was about churning out tiny Yodas and Pikachus, but these days, useful things are regularly 3D printed too. A great example is this centrifugal …read more Continue reading 3D Printing A Centrifugal Water Pump
If there’s one thing that continues to impress us about the Hackaday community as the years roll by, it’s the willingness to share what we’ve learned with each other. Not …read more Continue reading Air-Assist Analysis Reveals Most Effective — and Quietest — Methods
For all but the most experienced gardeners and botanists, taking care of the soil around one’s plants can seem like an unsolvable mystery. Not only does soil need the correct …read more Continue reading Fertilizing Plants With A Custom 3D-Printed Pump
Liquid handling workstations are commonly used in drug development, and look like small CNC machines with droppers on the ends which can dispense liquid into any container in a grid array. They are also extraordinarily expensive, as is most specialty …read more
Soft-bodied robots move via pneumatic “muscles” that are selectively inflated or deflated. And while the muscles themselves may be soft and squishy, they’re usually hooked up to hard, unwieldy pumps. A new pump, however, is both small and flexible.Cont… Continue reading Thin, flexible pump could make soft robots even softer
