heating pad- material experiment
When current go through, some conductive materials will also turn warm or even hot, so I tried different kinds of materials and look for a best which can make a heating pad. The red paper will turn white when it feels hot. 1.conductive thread knitting mit common thread. resistance : about 11 Ω when voltage is […]
Nerdy speakers
How to Make Piezoelectric Crystal Speaker Very nerdy.. a lot of work to nicely wake up in the morning. If you want to try the way he is showing.. be very very careful with the transformer.. and here is Homemade Piezoelectric Transducer
Push Button
This is a push button. The following is the data-sheet. After the four black point was cutted, metal panel and the button cylinder were apart and there’s a round panel inside. When push the round panel, it links the metal part in the mittel and the two side metal parts. That’s how does it […]
Speaker Recipe
I became very interested in the function of a speaker, specially because it sounds so simple. In this exercise I tried to experiment as much as possible with materials for the membrane and shapes for the copper spiral. My intention was to find a shape for the spiral that was different from the 2D design […]
Tilt Switch
Tilt Switch actually just work as a simple switch to make open and closed circuit. Open a tilt switch, we can see there are to conductive balls inside a copper tube. There are two pins with this switch, one connected to the outer copper tube, and another one go into the tube and which would […]
DIY Magnetic Motor
The original idea is to build a motor with soft linear material at sides which could be held and turning in hand . To build a motor you need to roll the surface-isolated wire into spiral, and its important to make sure that you make the spiral as a continual circle which means you […]
Tuesday’s Potentiometer Knob Recipe
Since I took apart a potentiometer yesterday, I thought it would be fun to experiment with different conductive surfaces, like the two pathways that run along the base of the potentiometer. I worked with wood as a starting material and used a number of different materials to experiment with conductivity. I started by digging ‘canals’ in […]
Sliding switch and speaker!
This week at the Kit of No parts Workshop I opened up first of all a Sliding switch. It is a very simple mechanism, but still includes many details to think about. It is a three leg pieces that consists of a sliding conductive bridge that always makes contact with Ground (center leg), but depends […]
flying crochet
For my project last week I intended to play with sensors and textiles. I created a little system where you blew into a ventilator that produced a certain amount of voltage. This voltage was read by Arduino and gave a series of values depending on the intensity of the wind. When the value went between […]
