Construír Robots! E Visão para os quase cegos, uma Serra de lixar(?) Óculos de sol de frascos, e Lego das Impressoras!

Querem fazer o vosso Robot, em casa?
Aprendam com o nosso amigo DJ Harrigam, como o podem fazer, um Manual de categoria, para fazer toda a espécie de Robots:



Designing And Building A Robot
DJ Harrigan
Introduction To Robotics And Robot Making  
For a hundred years, robots, automatons or otherwise synthetic assistants have been part of our popular culture. While they’ve mostly been restricted to the silver screen, thanks to increasingly affordable and powerful electronics, making robots has never been easier. Now, if you’ve got the determination and a few bucks to spare, you can design and build a robot to your liking. Maybe even a cool MeArm as depicted in the illustration above. 
Although robotics is more accessible than ever, any robot is a complex system and requires at least a basic understanding of electricity, mechanical design and programming to create. Never fear! My goal is to explain the high level concepts that make for a successful robot as well as point to the right tools and materials that the bot builders of today are using in their designs. It is a challenge, but there’s nothing quite like taking raw materials and making them come to life. Let’s get started! 












Algo que importa divulgar por todo o Mundo Lusófono, os quase-cegos poderão VER outra vez, com esta maravilhosa Enhenhoca, por isso, cá vai a Referência:







How Does eSight Let The Legally Blind See? 
eSight houses a high-speed, high-definition camera that captures everything the user is looking at. eSight’s algorithms enhance the video feed and display it on two, OLED screens in front of the user's eyes. Full color video images are clearly seen by the eSight user with unprecedented visual clarity and virtually no lag. With eSight’s patented Bioptic Tilt capability, users can adjust the device to the precise position that, for them, presents the best view of the video while maximizing side peripheral vision. This ensures a user’s balance and prevents nausea – common problems with other immersive technologies  













Lixar como deve de ser, não é brincadeira...
Por isso, vejam só esta bela ideia para lixarem Madeira com um resultado fantástico, bem fluído e contínuo:




Sanding Saw
Mikhandmaker 
For those of us who collect homemade sanding blocks or need to sand around corners and curves, may I present to you this homemade bow sander.
This bow sander is great for tight, curved places and works from both top and bottom.
Maybe your great grandchildren will look at yours someday and ask, “What was that thing for anyway?
If you like the video please Subscribe to my Youtube Channel
I would also apologise for my English as a non-native English speaker some terms are very difficult for me. Forward, Instructable!! 













Para terem um par de Óculos de Sol feitos em casa, aproveitem as propriedades de bloqueio da Luz Azul destes Frascos de remédio!





Blue Light Blocking Glasses From Pill Bottlesthe6thstar 
So recently I read an article about how wearing orange glasses at night can help you sleep better at night. I wanted to test this for myself, and being the cheap person that I am, I made my own and it took me about an hour and a half. So yeah, that's what this instructable is.

Uma pequena Maravilha, tanto para terem peças de Lego à vossa maneira, como para aprenderem como mexer no porreiríssimo Programa FeeeCad, é esta quantidade de peças de Lego que podem imprimir.







Lego bricks in FreeCADmase 
People of FreeCAD
----------------------
SO.... What about to create a LEGO BRICK libary for FreeCAD :)

The aim for this projekt is learning useful stuff:
[*] get use to with freecad
[*] improving my english
[*] get use to git (maintaining the libary)
[*] And MAYBE create addon for adding the lego bricks and to put them together.
Help is very much appreciated. I would be happy to have some feedback about my drawings.
[*] right measurements about the bricks
[*] opinion about the constructions ( how they are made)
[*] opinion about the construction is properly draw. (I read that in an .fcstd u can verify how the construction is drawn)
Here is the url of the legolib https://github.com/mase-tech/FreeCAD-LEGO

Feel free to suggest, help and correct me :)
kindly greetings from Germany

Aveiro! E um bom Microscópio, mais uma Forja, e uma escada de Jacob

AVEIRO BRILHA!
A Universidade de Aveiro, e estes génios do Departamento de Electrónica, Telecomunicações e Informática da dita Universidade, estão de parabéns, por inventarem esta Bengala que avisa o Cego da existência de Obstáculos como buracos e declives, pela frente!
Primeiro lido no Jornal Destak de hoje, e esta notícia vem da Revista Sábado, eis como se avança a sério, com a Tecnologia:



Universidade de Aveiro cria bengala electrónica para cegos

Uma bengala que utiliza ultrassons para detectar buracos e declives com o objectivo de ajudar pessoas com deficiência visual está a ser desenvolvida na Universidade de Aveiro (UA). A bengala, já em fase de protótipo, produz vibrações no punho avisando com isso o utilizador que se aproxima, por exemplo, de uma escadaria ou de um buraco no pavimento.

O projecto nasceu no Departamento de Electrónica, Telecomunicações e Informática como resposta a um desafio lançado pela Associação Promotora do Ensino dos Cegos (APEC) que quer acabar com as centenas de acidentes sofridos anualmente pela população invisual portuguesa, muitos dos quais com consequências graves, causados por obstáculos indetectáveis com uma bengala normal.






A Mindsets vende, por cerca de metade do Preço anterior, este magnífico Microscópio 3 em 1, que é tanto um Microscópio normal, como tem capacidades Digitais, com uma respeitável Resoução de 1280*1024 Pixeis... 
E ainda pode ser removido da sua base, para uso em Trabalho de Campo!
É de aproveitar!





3 in 1 Digital Microscope 

'Digiscope' can be used either as an ordinary or digital microscope.
Detatchable head for handheld use.
USB 2 connection.
Resolution SXGA - 1280 x 1024.
Includes:
Software CD (compatible with: Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000 SP4, Mac OSX 10.4.8 - 10.6.2),
1 sample slide and 3 blank slides,
dropper and forceps.
3 magnifications:
50x - 100x
100x - 200x
200 - 400x
 





Mais uma Forja, desta vez, feita com o Tambor dum Travão, para verem que se pode fazer de tudo...
Com Sucata!
Muáháháhá!




Brake Drum Forge
Straklin 

My brother (Bigdaddycole) and I have been talking about building a forge for some time. We finally found some time over the last few weekends and put this together. We used a lot of stuff we had in house, so it was a cheap build. Please comment if you have suggestions or improvements. We have also entered this in the "On a Budget" contest, so if you like it please vote. We hope you like this build!
DISCLAIMER: When using an angle grinder, make sure you use eye protection and gloves. Also make sure you are working in an area free from combustible material. It throws off a lot of sparks and hot metal. Know how to use your tools safely! Be safe, and have fun!








E para algo de hipnóticamente Geek-espectacular, eis como construír uma Escada de Jacob...
Helicoidal!
Um regalo para os olhos!





Helical Jacob's Ladder

Teenage Honduran builds open source eye-tracking computer interface for the disabled

By Loz Blain

This unique and worthwhile project was put together by a 17-year-old electronics and programming whiz from Honduras, of all places. The Eyeboard system is a low-tech eyeball-tracking device that allows users with motor disabilities to enter text into a computer using eye gestures instead of a physical interface. This kind of system is not unique - there's plenty of eye tracking interfaces out there - but Luis Cruz has figured out a way to build the full system into a set of glasses for less than US$300, putting easier communication within reach of users in developing countries. He's also releasing the software as open source to speed up development. Personally, I spent my year as a 17-year-old in a series of heroic failures trying to impress girls with my air guitar.

Protótipos mais baratos, é bom!

Querem fazer um Protótipo decente?


Matt Martinez has recently created Phenom Engineering, a side venture to his day job as an engineer to a large defense contractor in Tucson, Arizona, USA.
What led you to Ponoko, Sparkfun?
I was doing a search for electric components for a work project I was working on. I happened on Sparkfun during that search. I saw the immense design opportunity with all the gadgets Sparkfun offered, so I bookmarked the site and became a frequent visitor. During one of those visits, they had posted a link to Ponoko which I also visited and promptly bookmarked. Exploring the Ponoko site and seeing the services offered really set the creative/design gears in motion. It opened a whole new dimension as to what kinds of things I could prototype, design and eventually produce.

On the path to quantum computers: Ultra-strong interaction between light and matter realized


Researchers around the world are working on the development of quantum computers that will be vastly superior to present-day computers. Here, the strong coupling of quantum bits with light quanta plays a pivotal role. Professor Rudolf Gross, a physicist at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen, Germany, and his team of researchers have now realized an extremely strong interaction between light and matter that may represent a first step in this direction.
