Robert Oschler sent in this interesting project which allows Recording Emotions with the Emotiv EEG Headset to sense your mood. Just like the read receipt tells you if and when your email was read this would let you know what type of emotion it conjured. “EmoRate is an application that demonstrates the power of Affective Computing, a technology that allows computers to detect and react to human emotions and will change drastically the way we interact with them in our daily lives. The last barrier that has held Affective Computing back, an affordable consumer grade EEG headset, has been broken with the introduction of the 14-electrode EPOC headset, created by Emotiv systems, Inc.” [ link ] [ Trackback ] [ ] [ Socialize This ] Mind Controlled Rovio Robot Bluetooth headset modification Video Camera Rocket Mount Bluevoice combines wristwatch, headset Vintage Bluetooth Telephone R/C Car VR System Aerial Video Cam 96 LED POV

Not content with the standard levitating products out there he decided to step it up a notch. “There are many globes available today which are levitating and rotating along vertical axis. This one is the world first globe levitating and rotating along TILTED axis. It uses wireless power transmittance and geared motor inside the floating globe.

If you have one of these View-Masters you might want to bring it into the modern day, have a look at this LCD Screen Hacked View-Master by Hackerconsortium . “Long gone are the days of light shining through celluloid images on a disk… Long gone!

Funny that Johngineer comes out with his tutorial about How to take Pictures of Electronic Projects now. I just got my photo cube in the mail yesterday. I will be setting it up in a somewhat permanent photography location soon, I can’t wait to use some of these tips to see how I can make my pictures look better. I have been talking with our friend Daniel Garcia from Protostack who has always taken fantastic looking pictures of his projects ! He uses a cube and normally shoots outside in natural light. I have already purchased some Daylight compact florescent bulbs so we will see how good they look. I am looking forward to the long learning curve.

Our good friend Bob Davis has been doing some more high voltage tinkering . He has been working on another High Voltage Washer Launcher , this is a new and improved version of some of his past high voltage projects . If you are just looking for some explosive fun have a look at 4:35 and 5:45. I love the use of the safety broom. “My old 8 capacitor power supply is back in action! This time it has 10 capacitors, and delivers 2000 volts at 1600 amps from 1,600 uF of capacitors in a series/parallel combination. The old 5 watt resistor was replaced with a 50 watt resistor! It still smoked when it was powered on likely from grease from my fingers.” [ link ] [ Trackback ] [ ] [ Socialize This ] 1600 Volt Can Crusher Two Liter Pop Bottle Launcher Fireworks Control Box Launcher Build Plasma and High Voltage Electricity Kirlian Photos Douchenator Water Balloon Launcher Mike’s Electric Stuff DIY Geiger Counter with USB Interface Ultrasonic Radar USB Missile Launcher
This is one very cool looking Propeller Clock Build ! It is based on the ATmega324P and was programmed in BASCOM-AVR . There is more information in this forum post (translator needed). Unlike my Spinning Display project this one does not have wire connections to power the rotating section instead it uses induction to power the spinning section. Thanks for the tip Muris.

Ever wanted to have a alarm system that could fit into your pocket? Well have a look at this Zippo Burglar Alarm , it’s pocket sized since all the electronics are stuffed into a Zippo lighter. It is based around a Picaxe microcontroller which controls a few IR LEDs and monitors an IR Receiver module. The alarm is a piezo buzzer which is also mounted in the tiny case.
