Scientists working at England’s Bristol Robotics Laboratory have developed a technique for converting urine into electrons, enough to power a cell phone.
Brooklyn Research straddles itself between hackerspace, company, and co-working space.
At the beginning of July we spent a couple of days going through all the submissions received to participate in Maker Faire Rome — the European Edition, taking place Oct. 3-6 in Italy. It was a great experience for us to discover makers’ projects from all around Europe, and the MakerTour gave us the chance to meet some of them and to produce 69 video clips to share this experience with all of you.
There are a bunch of fun DIY dinosaur projects going around these days and this one by Studs and Buttonholes really takes the cake.
Maker Hangar is a 15-part video series by Lucas Weakley. In Episode 3 of the Maker Hangar series, Lucas Weakley breaks down the important role electric speed controllers (ESC) play in RC planes. These components convert DC power into AC power and regulate power to the motor. But it’s important to pair the appropriate ESC to the […]
A couple of years ago, we featured Gavin’s super cool LightScythe light-painting staff on MAKE. Since then he’s updated the project with a Raspberry Pi and an Open Beam staff, using this Adafruit light-painting tutorial.
