Pneumatic Scissor Lift
First try to build a mechanism without using electric motors. A simple pneumatic scissor lifter using LEGOs. (12/6/2008)

I'm not sure how long I'm looking for it. I'm tired of searching the "wow".

But the fact of the matter is that the Wow has expired.

Electricity from Piezoelectric materials
Easy experiment that shows how to get electricity from Piezoelectric materials, a clean source of electricity. Also, some interesting applications. (11/13/2008)
Posted at: other_projects
The "piezoelectric" effect was discovered about 1880 by Jacques & Pierre (The Curie brothers). They found out that when a mechanical stress was applied on crystals such as tourmaline, topaz, quartz, Rochelle salt and cane sugar, - YES! cane sugar! - electrical charges appeared, and this voltage was proportional to the stress. That means, more force = more electricity. How much electricity??? let's find it!

This is the simplest heat engine that can be made with a few parts: A tube, Piston, Regenerator (wire gauze) and Heat source. It is also known as Lamina Flow Beta Stirling engine. but I believe it cannot be called "Stirling" as it features only a piston. Stirling engines have two pistons, one in the cold side and the other one at the hot side. This engine does have only one piston, two cold sides and one hot side.

When a PHP file is requested thru the website, the Web Server process the instructions in the .php file and provides the result.

A LM317 regulator is used to regulate the voltage and current for this circuit. This battery charger should be used only for Ni-Cad cells. Other type of batteries (li-ion, NiMh, Lead and Li-ion polymer) needs special care so it cannot be used.

JPC version PHP 1.4 - 11/08
Parental advisory: free porn, (or even free music downloads), free homemade porn, homemade sex video and other home made projects related to adult entertainment, (regardless that you may find it interesting), are not part of this website, however, sponsors may have material not suitable for children but it should not be adult oriented. I'm not related on any way with the sponsors and accessing those sites is the sole user's responsability. All articles published by the author meets the terms of service, also known as TOS, of the service provider.
Basically, my idea is to provide an excellent source of science fair projects, free projects, free instructions, home-made things to do, or simply a "good science project" idea for kids and older kids (like from 6 to 99 years old). Even you can find here interesting circuits that I made. If you are looking for circuit city (or similar stores like Best buy, aaron rentals, abt electronics, Radio Shack, CompUsa, Frys Eletronics store or even walmart) you may be able to find it here as part of the article and/or the products that they sell, but when I'm talking about electronics, I do mean "analog and digital electronics" and not a electronic item or products for sale.
I also work on crafts, paper crafts, even holiday crafts and other arts (as you may find on Michaels crafts or Hobby lobby creative centers) and anything that I consider my Hobby [Holly hobbie batman!], but a good page about it is Mary's creations. (www.marys-creations.com)
Sometimes I do provide some information or articles about Mexican Food (because I really like really good Mexican food... don't even think "taco bell is mexican food"), and other articles talking about Britneys spears and how bald she is... even talking about American Idol or Anna Nicole Smith and the big circus on the court about the lawsuit (that is really crazy and stupid people in my opinion).. or what about the giant squid that caught the attention of all the people about the world? That is not new news, anyway, there is always something to talk about.
