 | DIY 'Squishy' Resistors for Unique Electronic Projects
Using play dough to make electronic projects should appeal to kids starting out with circuitry, but these strange variable resistors could also lead to unique projects for adults. The brainchild of two innovators, ‘Squishy Circuits’ is a... |
 | Iron Man Repulsor: Blue Laser Project
The Iron Man repulsor light laser shoots a beam of crisp, blue laser light directly out from your palm. We've seen some similar Iron Man projects which recreate the rupulsor effect when Iron Man lifts his arm pulls back his hand.

 | DIY Iron Man Repulsing Beam
While this Iron Man Repulsing Beam may not pack the power of the real arc-generator-powered awesomeness, it does pack quite a punch with a 330 Watt LED array capable of creating blinding flashes of ultra bright white light. Using a Xenon tube... |
 | DIY Solar Powered Beam Robot Miniball
This solar powered beam robot charges up a capacitor which powers motors and propels the "hamster ball" forward. The sphere runs in the direction of movement of the device inside and it's also a basic example of what BEAM Robotics is all... |
 | How to: Reflow Surface Mount (SMD) Soldering Tutorial
As devices get smaller and smaller, surface mount devices (SMD) are becoming more popular. As an alternative to traditional, larger through hole components, SMD components save space on PCBs. One glance at the tiny size of the components... |
 | Make a DIY Open Source PSP with an Arduino
Here’s another fantastic tutorial from our Open Source Arduino master, Matt. See all of our Arduino projects.
In the spirit of the open source gameboy (#5 on the Top 40 Arduino Projects of the Web), Matt's latest project uses a few Arduino... |
 | RFID Enabled Mp3 Player Hack using Arduino
This is a fantastic, unique project which uses RFID tagged pictures to select and play album. The system utilizes the easy to use arduino microcontroller platform along with an RFID reader and is also ethernet enabled. See more pics and... |
 | EyeBorg: False Eye Camera Implant
This one eyed engineer has built himself a tiny wireless camera which fits into his empty eye socket. He calls it the Eyeborg Project. A news interview of the inventor is above and another discussion is below. If this isn't weird enough,... |
 | X-Ray Photography of Gaming Controllers, Consoles
This gaming hobbyist has shown that there is more than one way to take a photograph. He has found a unique way to get something more out of his work as an x-ray technician.
His "camera" of choice is an X-Ray machine of course:
Using his spare... |
 | Incredible Circuitry Art with Spare Parts
Using spare resistors, caps, pots, chips, sockets, and other electronic parts, this man created outstanding circuitry figurines. More pictures and details can be found on his Flickr page. You can find supplies for your next DIY project in our... |
