Collaborate Disseminate
Drones are pretty common in the electoronics landscape today, and are more than just a fun hobby. They’ve enabled a wide array of realtors, YouTubers, surveyors, emergency responders, and other …read more Continue reading Winged Drone Gets Forward Flight Capability
In the 125 years since Marconi made his first radio transmissions, the spectrum has been divvied up into ranges and bands, most of which are reserved for governments and large …read more Continue reading The Low-Down on Long-Wave: Unlicensed Experimental Radio
Toward the end of 2020, digital artist David Li collaborated with Google’s Arts and Culture lab to release a fun machine learning experiment called the Blob Opera. Now Stuck Labs has developed a touchless interface that allows young conductors to control the operatic action with a wave of their arms.

[Will Cogley]’s mechanized gauntlet concept sure has a hypnotizing look to it, and it uses only a single motor. Underneath the scales is a rod with several cams, each of which moves a lever up and down in a rippling wave as it rotates. Add a painted scale to each, …read more

On October 8th 2020, Donald Trump returned to the White House after spending several days at the Walter Reed Medical Center receiving a number of treatments for COVID-19. In a video message published on Twitter the President attributed his rapid recove… Continue reading What do we know about Trump’s experimental COVID-19 “cure”?
Raspberry Pi clusters are a common enough project, but a lot of the builds we see focus on the hardware side of the cluster. Once it’s up and running, though, what comes next? Raspberry Pis aren’t very powerful devices, but they can still be a great project for learning how …read more
Rocketry is wild, and [Foaly] is sharing build and design details of the Cortex 2 mini rocket which is entirely 3D printed. Don’t let that fool you into thinking it is in any way a gimmick; the Cortex 2 is a serious piece of engineering with some fascinating development.
Cortex 1 was launched as part of C’Space, an event allowing students to launch experimental rockets. Stuffed with sensors and entirely 3D printed, Cortex 1 flew well, but the parachute failed to deploy mainly due to an imperfectly bonded assembly. The hatch was recovered, but the rocket was lost. Lessons …read more
