Bones!: Awesome UV-Light Sensitive Tattoo
Geekologie - Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome
I've known UV light tattoos have existed for awhile, but I've never seen such good use of the idea until Matty posted this picture on Geekologie's Facebook page. So yeah, props to whoever this is having them go all the way to the fingernail, I'd figure that would hurt. Of course, I said the same thing about jumping in front of a bus to save an Tiny Sensor Listens For Gunshots, Identifying The Gun and Location [Military]
This is the gear that gets our troops excited. Microflown Technologies' tiny sensor listens for the sounds of war by measuring particles in the air. Then it reports what weapon made the sound and where that sound originated.
The sensor uses a technology, developed by Microflown, called acoustic vector sensing. AVS heats two 200-nanometer wide platinum strips to 200 degrees Celsius and measures h...
Neat demonstration of proportional and PID control systems
Spotted in the MAKE Forums:
Liam built this impressive robot, then used it to demonstrate the difference between proportional and PID control. The robot is designed to stay a certain distance from an object, and uses two Sharp IR distance sensors to track it's position. The system looks like it is working great, however he is noticing some variability in the output of the distance sensors he i...

Dirt-cheap robotics prototyping environment with Android
Tim Heath and Ryan Hickman's Truckbot could be built for under $20 (excluding mobile). That's pretty impressive for such an open and accessible robotics prototyping environment. Using a laser-cut cardboard chassis, $3 micro servos, and a bare bones Arduino, the duo have assembled one of the cheapest platforms to come along in a while. [via GadgetLab]
One of the main reasons for using cell...
