Insane RGB LED Ball II

That really is some insane piece of work.  I read the forum post, and looked at the pictures, and even then I can only sorta kinda understand all the stuff that went into making that thing.  I want to make one, but I don’t think that I have the technical knowledge to make it work [...]

DIY LED flashlight overkill

I like LEDs, I think they are pretty ace, and I use them often.  I’ve made and modified my fair share of flashlights, but this one takes the cake for crazy.
500 superbright white LEDs, 50 watts of power used, blinding light, and something that probably weighs a good 20lbs makes this a monster.

Look at all [...]

Traffic Lights were complicated

Then computers were invented.  Here’s a really neat little video explaining how the old style traffic lights work.  The ones that use regular light bulbs, and moving parts, and lots of other breakable items.  Right off the bat, I used to notice burned out traffic lights all the time, but I live in a town, [...]

An LED bottle Wall

Bottle wall (no sound) from Alex Beim on Vimeo.
That’s a pretty neat thing to make.  It was made from empty bottles of Bacardi.  Now, I think this could be made much more interesting if you made it with all sorts of different bottles.  Bacardi, Captain Morgan, Jack Dainel’s, whatever ever else you prefer to drink, [...]

RGB LED table

I like tables.  I like weird interesting, not normal tables.  I like electronic tables.  I like this new 64 RGB LED table that Edo in Germany made.  It is nice, and well beyond anything I can make in my spare time.  But I like it.  I would have made it 128 pixels wide, just so [...]

Google’s Power Usage

In flowchart form!  That’s right, all that silly speculation a few days ago about how Google uses extreme amounts of electricity were silly compared to what they really do.  I mean there aren’t that many searches that have less then 20,000 results, so they don’t print out too many searches, and hey, at least its [...]

The Best Christmas Lights

As you know, I have strict guidelines regarding Christmas lights.  But you already know that, so now lets take a look at some of my favorite displays of them, after the click, cause there’s far too many

LED Chandelier

My house is gonna be filled of LED devices and computer parts, and a faraday cage underground.  It is gonna be a super awesome cool house though.
My living room will have my Interactive LED Table, now I think my Dining room will have this nice LED Chandelier:

I really like the idea of exposing the wires [...]

LED cube

I’m not really sure i could justify this, it’s cool and all, but, kinda useless, unless you could string a bunch of them together, and make like a huge 3-D television like thing, but i don’t think the resolution is there to make it worth it. Oh well, it’s still cool nonetheless.

LED Apple sign

So, just like the LED Plexiglas heart I made for valentines day, I made another LED Plexiglas thing, this one however, was for me.  I also made it a little bigger, and by a little, I mean it’s 8″ x 10″, where as the heart was only 5″x4″.  Oh well, I like it.  Also, [...]

LED Fireplace

As a rule, I do not approve of fake fireplaces, that includes gas ones. They defeat the purpose of fireplaces, to provide warmth, and a beauty to look at.
This LED fireplace however could be the exception to the rule. It’s a known fact that LEDs make things better, and if you add in [...]
