How do Fiber Optic Cables Work? - 2011-06-22 11:07:29-04

For years, I knew fiber optic cables works by transmitting light (instead of electricity), which travels at speed of light and probably the future of all cables. Well, for those of you who don’t understand the ins and outs of fiber optics, here’s a great demo by the Engineer guy who shows you how light can travel in liquid, similar to how fiber optics work. via make Also see Wikipedia: An optical fiber is a flexible, transparent fiber made of very pure glass (silica) not much bigger than a human hair that acts as a waveguide, or “light pipe”, to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber.[1] The field of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers is known as fiber optics. Optical fibers are widely used in fiber-optic communications, which permits transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than other forms of communication. Fibers are used instead of metal wires because signals travel along them with less loss and are also immune to electromagnetic interference. Fibers are also used for illumination, and are wrapped in bundles so they can be used to carry images, thus allowing viewing in … Continue reading →

How to Make a DIY Touchpad Input Device! - 2011-06-23 10:56:49-04

Adding a touch-input to your next project can enhance its user experience but did you know that a simple touchpad isn’t rocket science but do-able under budget? Giorgos Lazaridis shows you (and even shares his circuit diagrams) on how to make such DIY touchpad input device, and believe me, no one wants to push physical buttons these days. I made this circuit, because i faced several problems with the touch-pad for my keycode doorlock project. I tried many different touch-pad designs, yet all had problems.

So, here is one touch-pad that works and you can use it as-is for your designs. via hackedgadgets This post How to Make a DIY Touchpad Input Device! was originally from zedomax.com Circuits, DIY, diy touchpad, Featured, Featured DIYs, Featured Gadgets, Featured Hacks, Gadgets, Hack, how-to, HOWTO, input device, make, Microcontroller, Projects

How to Make DIY Dumbbells from Concrete! - 2011-06-26 19:18:28-04

Today I went to Big5 and Sports Authority to buy some dumbells. Sadly, they didn’t even have the 60 pound dumbbells I wanted plus you had to special order them. Nevermind the ridiculous price of “one” dumbell (which was like $100), so I looked online for some answers on how to make your own DIY dumbells. There’s a guy on YouTube who says you can make them out of milk jugs or laundry detergent containers but the only culprit is that you can only get them to go about 35 pounds plus it’s not really going to look nice. However, I found this article on a forum that shows this guy who made DIY dumbells from concrete! This seems to be a great idea, I might try getting some galvanized pipes, put some concrete on the sides then paint them over with my favorite color and add some grips. Well, that seems to be the best idea so let me go try it soon.
