With the emergence of MP3 as a popular standard for storing, playing, and exchanging music, droves of electronics and computer companies have introduced both portable and desktop MP3 player devices into the consumer market. The rise of MP3 has also produced dozens of personal engineering projects like this one. Link.

Introducing the worlds first wood burning generator / Turbine wood-stove: self starting, runs on wood, garbage or bio-mass (or anything else you can stuff into the combustor that burns and gives off good heat), totally self sufficient – can be run in remote locations without gas or diesel fuel, expected to produce around 2,000W continuous, DC output: 24V @ 80A, AC output: 120 – 240V @ 50-60Hz (AC output will depend upon battery and inverter capacity) [
Great list! Vendors listed on this page sell miscellaneous and surplus hardware, tools, lab supplies, motors, adhesives, Dremel bits, screws, gizmos, and whatnots. Stuff you might need for successful hardware building and hacking, stuff you’re inclined to packrat until just the right project comes along. These people aren’t your average thick-cataloged every-part-number-under-the-sun guys—they’re the other guys; the random crap purveyors of the world.
