Thirsty for a fun DIY project this weekend? Check out these light-up milk bottles controlled by an Arduino. Created by Instructables user Nachimir, he’s posted full out instructions on how to construct your own. The video is very eerie but don’t let that scare you off. I’d be more worried about having to drink all that milk in one sitting.
Nikola Tesla represents what every American hopes to be, despite having been born in Austria. Intelligent, business savvy and I heard he never wore white after Labor Day; not to mention the insane amount of ingenious patents of his that still apply to this day and age. Let’s face it: he was a bigger pimp than Edison and not nearly as much of a prima donna.
Needless to say, I’m a fan. So, when I saw that the writers of Hack N Mod had compiled a gallery of their favorite Tesla coil creations I just couldn’t contain myself. Notice how they all light up like a Christmas tree. It brings tears to my little Jewish eyes.
Not much is known about this video except that a guy built a Tesla coil and used it as a guitar amplifier. Each note he plays, lightning and electricity shoot out from a device sitting in his living room. Does it look incredibly unsafe? Absolutely. Is it rock and roll? You bet your ass it is.
Found on my Tumblr, this is a video of Flickr user SLOWLORIS getting struck by lightning while he’s filming a lake. From her Flickr page:
Because you insisted, here’s the unedited screaming version. I also added video from a minute before the lightning struck so you can get an idea of how hard it was raining. From what i understand, it went through my left hand holding the camera, crossed my back and exited out of my right hand holding onto the metal railing. No entry or exit wounds, as i was not directly struck, i got just a really good zap from one of the “finger arcs” that happen when lightning hits.
Ouch.
Much how people add in LED lights underneath their cars body kits, the Blue Moon Night Light adds the same style of ambient glow into your bedroom. Equipped with 14 LEDs, the light system should bring you back to your teenage years, when most of your love making was done in your hot rod.
The Blue Moon Night Light offers a selection of 3 different lightning coordinations; Single color, where you get your choice of red, blue, or green light, Seven Color Kit, where you get red, green, yellow, white, blue, purple, turquoise and pink light displays, and the Million color kit which fades into colors one by one. — Andrew Dobrow
