Archiving The World’s Oldest Webcam Feed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
FogCam is the oldest webcam feed that’s still up and running. Installed at San Francisco State University, it’s been slowly uploading a new image to the web every 20 to 60 seconds or so since September 30, 1994. Very few of those images have ever been saved, but [Justin Earl] has come along to fix that with Fog-Bank. [Justin] was eager to have top-notch coverage of the FogCam, so set up four separate catchers across three separate networks to scrape images from the feed. He runs one on his own s
SDR– Lets You Patch Together Your Setup (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is often helpful to think of a radio as a series of interconnected functional blocks—hence the use of block diagrams to convey how a given radio operates. [Julian Haag] has brought this ethos to SDR–, a software-defined radio program where you can patch together your setup. There are many software defined radio tools out there, with various interfaces and methods of configuration. [Julian] wanted to keep things intuitive and simple, and so built SDR– with an interface similar to that of a mod
Roman Telescope Saves Fuel, Doubles Mission (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Contemplate the events that might end a space mission, and you might picture something dramatic: detonation on the pad, a dead guidance system, or micrometeoroids shattering delicate solar panels. More often, though, the ending is far more mundane. Plenty of perfectly healthy spacecraft have been retired simply because the fuel tanks ran dry. That’s why mission planners guard every kilogram of go juice so jealously, and why careful preparation in a mission is critical to long-term success. Which
Geothermal Cooling For New York’s Subways (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You might think that if you dug some tunnels down into the ground where you could be out of the sunshine, that you might find them to be relatively cool and comfortable inside. Yet, fill those tunnels with trains and supporting equipment and millions of commuters, and you’ll instead find yourself sweltering in the heat. New York’s subways are too hot for comfort, and have been for some time. Unfortunately, unlike any old regular building, you can’t just air condition a subway and call it done. I
A Pocket-Sized Digital Fish Tank (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The problem with trying to make a fish tank fit in your pocket is that you’ll either end up with water everywhere or a bunch of dead fish. Perhaps that’s why [StratoBuilds] pursued a digital solution instead. The concept behind Pocket Tank is relatively simple—it’s a small device that displays a virtual tank with a bunch of little fish swimming around inside. It’s based on the Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-AMOLED-1.8, which, if you’re wondering, is an ESP32-S3 with a 1.8″ screen attached, all wrapped
