Visão Nocturna! E uma Pistola toda em 3D, um Sintetizador LittleBits, e o Bucanner 3D

Sim, podem ter a vossa própria instalação de Time-lapse de Visão Nocturna, cortesia da Designspark, para fins Artísticos, Científicos, ou de Segurança:

Fun with Pi NoIR and Filters

Andrew Back
 

Experimenting with the Pi NoIR prototype and blue and infrared filters.

Following on from my first attempt at building a night vision time-lapse rig, I thought I'd see how the Pi NoIR performs when used with filters. Of course, you get pretty interesting results just using the camera in daylight and without any filtering; as can be seen below images have a reddish hue and infrared reflecting plants appear curiously radiant..

Enquanto a Impressão 3D de "pistolas" em Plástico, não passa duma Curiosidade perigosa, quando são peças em Metal, e numa arma a sério, o caso muda de figura...

E pensem só: Se se pode construír uma Arma de Fogo, assim, que precisa de aguentar Pressões e Impactos terríveis, para as peças, toda a espécie de Engenhocas pode ser feita!

Invenções, em Protótipos que funcionam, mal sejam montados, Motores, Máquinas-Ferramenta super especializadas, Joalharia, e Relojoaria, Desporto, a lista é infinita!!!

Olhem só para as peçinhas, todas elas, feitas, sem nenhuma maquinagem adicional, categoria!

A fully 3D Printed Metal 1911 Pistol

It was bound to eventually happen, but I did not think it would be so soon. The company Solid Concepts has printed an entire 1911 pistol with a 3D laser metal sintering printer. What is more, the company has an FFL Manufacturing license and can print guns on behalf of customers with a five day turnaround. You provide them with a suitable CAD model and they will print it for you. This video shows their all-printed 1911 being fired …

A LittleBits continua a lançar canas porreiras, desta vez, um Sintetizador Analógico, modular, que vocês podem construír ao vosso gosto, já como vem, ou juntando-lhe partes para sei lá que experiências:

The Synth kit

Developed in collaboration with Korg, the world renowned electronic instrument company, the Synth Kit is a collection of 12 Bits modules that enables ANYONE to put on a musical performance with little to no engineering knowledge.

Multiple Synth Kits can be used at once to create a massively powerful instrument and the Synth Kit can be combined with any other littleBits modules – creating infinite possibilities for audio, visual and sensory experiences.
