In their performance, The Itagaki Interface, Daniele Hopkins and Kyle Duffield use their own bodies to challenge exaggerated representations of the human body in the fighting game, Dead or Alive, by Tomonobu Itakagi. The game features hyper-feminized and hyper-masculinized bodies in one-on-one combat. From Hopkins Duffield Seriously???? Really??? Not surprisingly this is all in the […]

A better view of gravity confirmed by repeated experiments suggests a simpler way to travel through the air, space and the sea. More testing should produce an upward lift greater than 100% making my device a serious candidate for the little known and little contested $1.3 million Gode Gravity Award. Kickstarter is runnning a project

I was recently discussing some equipment repairs and refurbishments with a new sub-contractor and the subject of replacing a number of leads came up. These leads were terminated on one end by the common 0.1″ molex KK connectors and I enquired whether they had a crimp tool for these. As they hadn’t, there followed a

In a week where we are celebrating the -50 year anniversary of First Contact with Zefram Cochrane on 5th April 2063, it reminds me of another recent story. This one concerns quantum entanglement of particles, which Einstein famously called “spooky at a distance”. A team of Chinese physicists have clocked the speed of spooky action

Festo produce some of the most remarkable biology inspired robots. Their latest offering is a robotic dragonfly called the BionicOpter. It has a wingspan of 63cm and weighs just 175grams and can mimic all the forms of flight of a real dragonfly including up and down, forwards, backwards and to the side. The flapping wing

Where Art Meets Science from the BBC website. Leonardo da Vinci epitomised the convergence of art and science. Hundreds of years later he remains one of the world’s most influential artists and many of his technical fantasies – such as the helicopter – are now a reality. But over the last few decades art and

This video discusses the basics of ferrite beads, and their uses for basic filtering applications. It discusses and demonstrates how ferrites act as resistors at high frequencies, and how this is used for EMI/RFI Suppression, improved power supply filtering, parasitic oscillation suppression, and others. This is another fantastic tutorial by W2AEW with great, easy to
Mathematics has little surprises that are designed to test and push your mental limits. The following 12 simple math problems prove outstandingly controversial among students of math, but are nonetheless facts. They’re paradoxes and idiosyncrasies of probability. And they’re guaranteed to start an argument or two. If you’re looking for a mathematical way to impress

This is an unusual aerial robot, not you usual controlled flight, but a bumbling insect-like movement. There are some parts of the video which are quite uncanny. I can just imagine what a swarm of these would look like, and you could be forgiven for thinking that it was a swarm of giant insects.

I love this concept, that Drones can harvest energy from power lines and effectively live in the wild. We’ve seen basic BEAM (Biology, Electronics, Aesthetics, and Mechanics) robots harvest solar energy, but this adds another dimension. One day if we ever develop artificial intelligence, you can imagine robots like this living in the wild and
