Bambu Lab has released a new line of low-temperature build plates that look to be the next step in 3D printing’s iteration—or so YouTuber Printing Perspective thinks after reviewing one. The Cryogrip Pro is …read more Continue reading Putting the New CryoGrip Build Plate to the Test
Some inventions are so simple that it’s hard to improve them. The magnetic compass is a great example — a magnetized needle, a bit of cork, and a bowl of …read more Continue reading Overcomplicating the Magnetic Compass for a Reason
Two great minds in permanent-magnet-free motor design are fusing their know-how to create an even more capable inductive electric motor. Mahle and Valeo have teamed up to introduce what they call the Inner Brushless Electrical Excitation (iBEE) system,… Continue reading Magnet-free induction motor aims to nearly halve carbon emissions
In an age where most cars come standard with things like backup cameras and Bluetooth, it’s surprising that they don’t all have rear window wipers. The GeckoWiper gives such an appendage to the Hyundai IONIQ 5, with other makes/models soon to follow.Co… Continue reading GeckoWiper sticks a rear wiper on the IONIQ 5 – other cars coming soon
Scientists in China have developed the world’s strongest resistive magnet, which produced a steady magnetic field of 42 Tesla (T). The system could improve devices that use magnets, as well as enable a range of new experiments that probe electromagneti… Continue reading World’s strongest resistive magnet fired up in China
Permanent magnets aren’t typically switchable. They’re always doing their magnet thing. However, if you align them with a bunch of other magnets in just the right way, you can create a …read more Continue reading You Can 3D Print Yourself Some Simple Magnetic Switches
Feeling limited by your smartphone’s puny light? If so, you might want to check out the phone-mountable Wuben E1. It’s currently on Kickstarter, and puts out up to 300 lumens as compared to the iPhone 15’s measly 50.Continue ReadingCategory: Mobile Tec… Continue reading Adjustable magnetic smartphone light belts out 300 lumens
The Earth’s magnetic field is vital for life – without it, the Sun’s radiation would sterilize the planet. But a new study suggests we wouldn’t be here at all if that magnetic field hadn’t almost completely collapsed half a billion years ago.Continue R… Continue reading Would we exist if Earth’s magnetic field hadn’t collapsed 500m years ago?
A new wheeled robot is able to climb metal structures in a very clever and unique way – it uses an extendible tape-measure limb. Descendants of the bot may one day find use inspecting or even repairing things like towers, bridges, power stations and sh… Continue reading Video: Ingenious EEWOC robot uses a tape measure to climb quickly
Pens, flashlights and pry bars are all useful, and the BoltLite modular multi-tool packs all three into a waterproof titanium body. It can be carried as one solid unit or pulled into pieces as the situation dictates.Continue ReadingCategory: Outdoors, … Continue reading Rifle-inspired titanium multi-tool packs a pen, flashlight and pry bar
