Even Small Businesses Can Afford Job-Stealing Assembly Bots Now

Andrew Liszewski

It’s assumed that one day factory line robots will eventually take over all aspects of manufacturing, freeing humans from the monotony of repetitive tasks. But integrating a robot into an assembly line is incredibly expensive and complicated. Rethink Robotics hopes to eliminate those roadblocks with Baxter.
Baxter is still the price of a small car at $US22,000, but when you consider that your typical factory line automaton can run well north of $US100,000, it means that many small-time guys now have the opportunity to automate part of their businesses. And let’s not forget that Baxter actually comes with two usable arms — not just one — that are both articulated with compliant joints so that it’s safe for use alongside humans.

E que tal transformarem o vosso Iphone, num Controle Remoto, para Máquinas Fotográficas?
Porreiro!

iPhone Camera Remote

As a an avid photographer, I carry two things on me constantly - my phone and my camera. Once I discovered there was a way for me to use my iPhone as a camera remote with the DSLRbot app, I knew I could easily build my own remote trigger for my DSLR with Radio Shack parts.

E da Hungria, vem-nos esta ideia bestialmente práctica, para as vossas Vivendas!

A Pistola de Cola, uma grande ajuda, mas infelizmente, às vezes, um grande problema, para tirar...

Pois o Àlcoo isopropílico é a solução:

Use Rubbing Alcohol to Remove Hot Glue from Nearly Anything

Hot glue dries quite hard and fast with no apparent easy way to unbind the two objects. A little rubbing alcohol, as this video demonstrates, works wonders.

Make magazine reader John Mangan shares an excellent tip for removing dried hot glue. Simply soak the edges of the glue with rubbing alcohol and it peels right off. Check out the full video above to see him remove glue from metal and wood using nothing more than a cotton swab soaked in alcohol.

Portugal inovador, um novo Blog

Uma iniciativa motivante, um Blog sobre a Inovação em Porutgal.
Eis o recém-criado Blog, nas palavras do seu criador:

PORTUGAL INOVADOR
Um espaço para apresentar casos de inovação nacionais e estimular o empreendedorismo em Portugal. Partilhe comigo casos que conheça.

Vão lá:

É pena não ser uma Inovação portuguesa, mas se quizerem fazer Fotos como deve de ser, com o Ihpone, (ou com uma câmara digital baratucha...) eis um acessório imprescindível:

iPhone Lens Dial turns your smartphone into a turret-lensed throwback

By Ben Coxworth

Once upon a time, before zoom lenses were invented, movie and TV cameras had three lenses that the user could choose between, using a Lazy Susan-type arrangement to swivel them into place - you wanted to go wide, you'd swing in the wide-angle lens, if you needed a close-up, you'd swing in the telephoto. Well, in the spirit of everything old being new again, the iPhone Lens Dial now offers the same functionality for Apple's iconic smartphone.

Engenhocas

Começa com esta Borracha Transparente e Condutora, aqui usada para os IPads e etc. mas com muito mais uso:

Make Conductive Rubber: Transparent stylus-iPod/iPhone

I call it Oogoo II. It is a DIY conductive silicone rubber that can be used to create a transparent stylus for iPod, iPhone, iPad, and other capacitive screen smart phones. Because the contact part of the stylus is transparent, you can see your lines and draw more precisely than with a regular stylus.

White laser light found to be just as easy on the eyes as LEDs

By Ben Coxworth

With incandescent light bulbs in the process of being phased out around the world, LEDs are one of the most promising technologies for taking over our day-to-day lighting needs - they use less energy, provide more light, contain less toxic substances, and are tougher than incandescents. That said, they may not be the one and only best choice. Lasers are even more efficient than LEDs at high amperages, although scientists have long believed that the quality of white light produced by diode lasers would be unpleasing to the human eye. According to a study recently carried out by Sandia National Laboratories, however, the human eye appears to like their light just fine.

Crossbow Snow Launcher goes one up in 'cold war' arms race

By Darren Quick

With winter fast approaching in the northern hemisphere and snowbound hostilities due to recommence in neighborhoods across the globe it might be worth updating your arsenal with this Crossbow Snow Launcher from The Sharper Image. With the ability to shoot snowballs distances of up to 60 feet (18 m) the device is sure to give you the upper hand in any Hoth-like conflict without the risk of tearing a rotator cuff.

To prime the device, simply place a ball in the front, pull back the lever until it locks and you're ready to aim and fire. An included snowball press that churns out three perfectly sized snowballs at a time ensures you'll have a nice stockpile of ammo, while the ergonomic design and improved launching mechanism means your trigger finger will just be getting warmed up while your adversary's arms are tiring. It also comes with a vinyl target to let you get your eye in before entering into target-rich environments.

E isto é que é Impressão 3D do caraças, VELCRO!

Uma das tais ideias que nos faz levar a mão à testa e dizer "porque é que ninguém se lembrou disto?"

3D-Printed Velcro (yes, you read it right)

“This is the first iteration (third internal) of my attempt to make printable Velcro. It is pretty nice to hang things, probably this small piece will resist much more than a kilogram of weight (hanging weight) and it is very easy to remove.
