Quote of the month:

 

I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
Sir Isaac Newton

 

What's on my site?

 

Lots of useful ideas and information for experimenters, inventors and generally anyone looking for an idea for a project or hobby! Projects and areas of personal interest are listed in the drop down menus above. All images on my site are enlargable to higher resolutions by clicking on them. The website is continually being updated, so check back often for new projects and software!

 

Latest News:

 

- 08/05/09 - SSC (Serial Servo Controller) PCB and Image files have been updated to correct some errors in the layout. 12V regulators have also been dropped from the design.

 

- 08/05/09 - SSSC (Super Serial Servo Controller) project is still progressing. Sorry about the delay, I had hoped it would be available by now, but have been extremely busy and unable to continue with it yet!

 

- 08/05/09 - Olly's Servo Controller has been updated to version 1.08, servo outputs can be limited to a certain range, speech output function has been added, servo outputs can be voiced as either angular degrees or numbers. Read more in the Servo Controller section.

 

- 08/05/09 - Field Strength Meter project under "other projects", build a simple DIY FSM for your radio/antenna needs!

 

- 08/05/09 - Forum has also been added to discuss experiments and lots of other topics! (Please join on the forum and show everyone your latest project!)

 

 

Just a few of my projects:

 

Highslide JS
Wireless power transmission using Solid State Tesla Coils (SSTC), transmitter on the left, receiver and lamp load on the right, and, yep you guessed it, me behind with the flurotube!
Highslide JS
Controlling servos from a serial/usb port via mouse, joystick or keyboard. Olly's Servo Controller (OSC) also allows you to record and playback servo movements.
Highslide JS
Lifter craft working on the beifeld brown effect that float without conventional propulsion.
Highslide JS
Meet Max, my animatronic head with full pan/tilt control, eye shutters, camera and voice. All controlled via my free Servo Controller programs and hardware.
Highslide JS
The Tesla Turbine, contructed from old hard disks. A Tesla Turbine produces rotational torque by utilising the boundary layer effect.
Highslide JS
A neodymium magnet held motionless, suspended in mid-air by a powerful electromagnet and some clever circuitry.
Highslide JS

High voltage arcs created by my powerful AC transformer, details on contruction found in the HV AC section. Details on the Plasma Sonic Speaker ( ie. producing sound from expanding and contracting air molecules surrounding a plasma arc), can be found in the Plasma Speaker section.
