I have allways wanted to see in the dark ever since I played “Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell” years back. I have done research since then and understand that night vison goggles are simply infered goggles with infered light comming off of it. I have seen two disigns for these goggles. one is using a disposable camcorder’s LCD screen, and the other (kipkay’s) is using welder’s goggles with red and blue lenses. these were infered goggles but i’m pretty sure if I add on infered LED’s on it, it’ll work.

I will do this this project if:

1. if I can find the right materials
2. if i can get the money needed (just about every dollar i earn goes towards my car)
3. IF I CAN GET CONFRIMATION THAT THE INFERED WELDER’S GOGGLES WILL BECOME NIGHT VISION GOGGLES IF I ADD INFERED LED’S.

this website is too cool. i would like to do some other projects too. i’m interested in “spy-like” gadgets. things like laser tripwire systems, hidden microphones and cameras, and disgiused gadgets (like james bond’s watch that allways can do something special)

one day i found this site called instructables.com and i found a solar bot so i looked at it and i started to think of ways to modify the design. so then i remembered that i bought a robot monnkey kit a few years back so i ripped that thing apart and added a solar panel and spliced into the power cables that went to the circut board. the robot was started by speaking into a mic and saying wake up or clapping so when i did that the whole thing comes to life. then i took apart a cassette player and took the motor out of that so i had motors to power some wheelsso i welded on the wheels and clapped and it worked

This is a call for help. I got the Idea of using a Motorola stereo radio (approx 40 yrs or so old) with two nice speakers, for the sound on a 42″ LCD tv. It works nicely. I need to build a remote control device to control volume (have to use manual knob now–inconvenient). I thought about controling the output from TV to the stereo amp (limited range). Anyone have any ideas like that?

Im working on creating a self solving rubik’s cube.  This would be a rubik’s cube that you could hook up to your computer, run some solving software and then have the program send a series of permutations to the cube. The cube would then (using servos or motors) solve its self. the cube would have to be large for this to works but after its done it presents many more functions. for instance, you could remotly solve it, you could have solving instructions that appear on the cube itself. you could have online real time solving solving competitions and tons of other things. currently i dont have any time or money to work on this but when i do i will post the results.
