Synthetic Aperture Radar Drone Gets Interferometric Imaging (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s been more than a year since [Henrik Forstén] built the first iteration of his synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) imaging drone, and he’s certainly been productive in the meantime. Not only did he develop a much more powerful autofocus algorithm to clean up the radar images, but he also extended the software to create high-resolution interferometric images. The main limitation of the original radar system was the GPS, which only had a resolution of about one meter; the autofocus algorithm owed m
Keeping Time On Tumbling Icosahedra (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Clocks are almost the ideal devices to inspire creativity in hackers — they have a simple, well-defined task, but there’s an almost unlimited number of ways to carry it out. [ekaggrat singh kalsi]’s OVODYO is a particularly intriguing approach, tumbling a pair of icosahedral counters to display the current time. Each 3D-printed icosahedron has numerals sunk through each of its twelve sides, and is raised above the base of the clock on a brass support shaft. An inner drive shaft runs through the
Whip-Cracking Machine Reliably Breaks The Sound Barrier (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We tend to think of breaking the sound barrier as a comparatively modern accomplishment, but on a smaller scale, cattle herders have been breaking it for centuries: the cracking sound of the tip of a bullwhip snapping comes from a small-scale sonic boom. Reliably getting a crack out of a whip takes skill and practice, though, which is why [Craig Turner] built a whip-cracking machine. The first step was to build the whip itself, which was surprisingly complicated. Bullwhips taper down toward the
Printing Micron-Scale Benchies With Resin And Turmeric (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Resin 3D printing has opened up a whole new scale of resolution for hackers, but the technology can go still finer; commercial micro-SLA and two-photon polymerization printers can print items with sub-micron feature sizes, but the machines are well out of reach for hackers. There’s more than one way to get such high resolution, though, as [Diffraction Limited] demonstrated with his micron-scale resin printer. The printer builds on [Diffraction Limited]’s previous micro-manipulator and fiber-coup
Running Generative AI On An RP2350 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Driven by a desire for privacy, customization, and lower costs, there’s growing interest in AI models which can be run on local hardware. Few of them go as far as [Tim], though, who built an image generation diffusion model which can run on an RP2350 microcontroller. As might be expected, its capabilities are limited. The resolution is 128×128, it only generates images of human faces, and it takes about twenty seconds per image – still impressive for such limited hardware. It runs on a Waveshare
