Gagan jain has built an interesting rig called the LIFI, it allows a simple transmission of audio using an LED for sending the audio signal and a solar cell to receive it. The full form of LiFi is Light Fidelity. LiFi basically is a Wireless Communication Technology which uses Visible Light for Data transmission. LiFi is designed to use LED Light Bulbs similar to those present in our homes and offices. However, there is a slight difference in these LiFi LED Light Bulbs and Normal LED Light Bulbs . These LiFi LED Light Bulbs transmit Data through the Light given off by them and these Light Signals are received by Photoreceptors.

Less then a half second to solve the cube. The motors need to be very strong and fast to push the system to this speed. This means that the moves have to be exacting or else it is sure destruction of the cube. They have some dramatic examples of that in the videos below! The contraption is built from:6 Kollmorgen ServoDisc U9-series motors.  2 were taken from my old robot arm project, the rest were found pretty cheaply on ebay.  Each motor has a US Digital optical encoder on the back, also purchased for a bargain on ebay.6 custom motor drivers.2 PlayStation Eye cameras1 Rubik s Cube.  One of the cheapest available We have done a teardown of a 100 amp breaker in the past but it is really interesting to see how they operate in slow motion. Warped Perception has taken a common 15 amp breaker and filmed the 2 states in slow motion. Breakers trip with a slow overload condition which takes a bit of time and a short circuit where the circuit breaker trips almost immediately.This Binary Clock Build project by JD is enclosed in a custom acrylic enclosure. 3 buttons are used to adjust the time, the binary clock is displayed for your leet friends. For the regular folk there is also a time display on the LCD. The System is powered by a Parallax Popeller. With 40 pins the Propeller has enough pins to drive each LED direct, the buttons are also all connected direct. The LCD is a serial LCD so that just required one data line but there are still available pins so chances are a standard LCD would also work.Ted Yapo is designing a crazy project idea, it is a Coin Cell Jump Starter! Just think next time you need to jump start your car you simply need to locate a coin cell and use this system to suck the power out in a usable way to start you car. Is it practical? Not really but it is cool is this theoretical idea would work. It is a total work in progress, I am looking forward to seeing a video of a car starting soon. So, if I can create a boost converter to charge the capacitors to 14V from the cell that s at least 6527/10800 = 60% efficient, I should be able to start a car from a coin cell.The first rough plan is to make a simple inductor-based boost converter to charge a similar (possibly identical) capacitor bank over perhaps 24 hours, then start the car with the capacitors in place of the usual battery. In some areas water meters have methods of connecting external monitoring equipment to determine water usage over time. This is normally done by a switch that pulses after a certain amount of water consumption. This was the case for sfrwmaker. He has a water meter that has an internal reed switch which closes once per revolution of the last metering wheel of his water meter. He has created a Water Meter Cloud Monitoring Interface which uses atmega328p-pu microcontroller and an esp8266 controller. The system sends data over wifi to the Blynk cloud service to allow the data to easily be stored and monitored over time. The esp8266 controller is not very power efficient and cannot run on the batteries for long time. And we would like to use it as web server any time, so it must be powered by the external power supply. It is not good idea to connect the water meter directly to the esp8266 controller because usually the water meters are installed in the dark, tiny space without any access to the external power outlet and WiFi access.
