I am framing this comment and putting it on my desk

Thanks for the kind words! Nimbus was a really fun project, just spent a bit re-formatting previous writeups to be more modern-web compliant. The one-wheel was indeed a weirdly syn…

This is a fantastic writeup

I'm here to welcome the era of bamboo based spaceships

Stellar work! This is such a wonderful writeup!

This paper was submitted march 2015, have there been subsequent studies in the last decade?

This is excellent

It does indeed work! I've been meaning to instrument a food stimulant mass to determine how the chaos is effected my mass offset vs speed. I think due to the under-actuated nature …

Admittedly this is a play on words, fair point! Gimbaled Gyro Sandwiches would be a better title

Have you noticed that a gyro sandwich is only cooked in one axis? I built a contraption to slow cook in multiple axes and documented it here: https://transistor-man.com/gyroscopic_…

Have you noticed that a gyro sandwich is only cooked in one axis? What a missed opportunity. The following details an elaborate way to slow cook food, using a handmade contraption.…

I'm interested, is there a hands on video or review somewhere? I can't get their timeline page to load correctly: https://furilabs.com/timeline/

It's always nice to see a detailed write up, a lot of cnc mill repairs end up replacing the existing control hardware but this write up was a curious take on maintaining the existi…

This is an excellent writeup, it's refreshing to see detailed writeups that are quick to load

The intricacies of repairing a modern lens, getting auto focus to work and identifying tiny parts to bring expensive hardware back to life.

Detailed technical write up about repairing delicate flexible circuit boards and reviving a nice camera lens on a budget

What's remarkable is this quote comes from a book written in the 1920's

Thanks for the question, I completely missed that part. I'm using a homemade e-bike where the battery is just connected with a standard Anderson connector. A lot of off the shelf b…

At 80W, running a laptop, it hovered around 90F, shown here: https://transistor-man.com/lenovo_ebike_adapter.html#How_doe...

This is excellent, wait does this actually work

Woah that comment is a call back, thanks for digging it up. I think one of the major boundary conditions, aside from 25V caps are just thermal. Laptops can't really radiate more th…
