Make your own backyard biodiesel. It's easy to make a small batch that will work in any diesel engine. You won't need any special equipment--an old juice bottle will serve as the "reactor" vessel--and on such a small scale, you can quickly refine your technique and perform further experiments.

Ramp input testing of the custom speed controller we are developing for the cap kart. (http://web.mit.edu/first/kart)Speed control is done by rapidly switching voltage on to and off of the motor coils. In this video, you can hear the speed controller switching frequency as it ramps up and down (high-pitched whine). It is most noticeable at about half speed.Our speed controller is entirely custom, built in-house. Testing here is with very little load, just the inertia of the rear axle. However, since no heating of the power transistors used to switch was seen, we will be stepping up to load testing very soon. We hope to be able to handle a maximum current of 300A. The total component cost to build our speed controller will be less than $100 and plans will be made available on our web site if (when) it has fully proven itself. ]]> http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/cap-kart-speed-controller-testing/10970476/ 67796-10970476 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 19:27:44 -0400 Cap Kart Speed Controller Testing

Anticipatory Perceptual Simulation is a cognitive architecture developed at the MIT Media Lab based on current neuro-psychological research in perception and memory. It is designed to allow a robotic teammate to practice a physical task with a human partner. As the practice progresses, the robot builds a model of the human's actions, and through "imagining" the perceptual stimuli that would arise from these actions, react faster and lead to a more efficient and fluent interaction.

The water boatman uses a thin layer of air as an "external lung" allowing it to breathe underwater.

Coming soon!!! MAKE TV! The video (above) is a preview! Each week, Make: television will showcase the best projects from Makers who submit their videos, a segment of the show we call Maker Channel. This segment features the videos made by Makers themselves - a showcase of the "best of the best" of YouTube-style videos. We think this is a great way to see the people behind the projects and we feel it's important to give a little control of the show back to the viewer. To do this, we need your help! If you've built something inspired, useful, imaginative, ingenious, or just plain clever, share your genius with the world. Produce a one to three minute long video that shows the best thing that you've made and send it to us. If it's really good, we'll use it on Maker Channel and you'll revel in glory and admiration, plus you'll receive a gift certificate to the Maker Shed and a subscription to Make: magazine.

A 100 uF oil-filled capacitor is charged to 3 KV. This takes approximately 15 minutes, creating a charge on the capacitor that could be lethal. The capacitor is then discharged through a 12" length of 30 gauge bare iron wire.When the high voltage current flows though high resistance wire, the bonds between iron molecules are shattered, resulting in a loud bang, a shower of sparks, and a cascade of wispy filaments floating through the air.Not all of the charge on the capacitor is disharged through the wire, so a shorting bar must be used to release the remaining charge. ]]> http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/mit-physics-demo-exploding-wire/10741165/ 67796-10741165 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 11:31:42 -0400 MIT Physics Demo -- Exploding Wire
