How to build a DIY long range wireless usb wifi boost antenna satellite dish booster
NOTE: This design only boosts reception, not transmission. Good for close access points (like if they are turned down low), but not for distant signals. Dense urban high rise developments are best location for this design.

DIY: USB Solar Rechargeable Light & Mobile Charger
1. i forgot the resistors for LEDs, you should use resistors for LEDs to save your battery charges for long time.
2. Those solar boards are each 1.4V with 350mA current rate which are not powerful enough to push the charges into batteries, you should use 3 or 4 of them.
In the next project I explain this more with correct practical examples.
3. Calculate and install a resistor for USB charging input because we are not allowed to withdraw more than 500mA of current from a USB out put.
4. Batteries are not for ever, you should install them in away to be easily replaceable after a year or 2, max 3 years.
5. Make it beautiful with a good carpentry and design, do not make as ugly as I did, you better drill the HDD platters and install LEDs directly on the surface.
6. if you use this project for study only, you should use a white plastic board, not a transparent plastic board that I used, it will disturb your eyes during study.
7. an advance project of this type with very correct engineering calculations and circuit installations would be coming soon, you better make that one if you really want to make one.

Cool DIY LED Bicycle Light
The inspiration and conceptual design of this bike light came to me when I almost got a ticket for not having a light on my beach cruiser! Campus security was giving everyone a hard time for not having proper safety equipment. Being inspired by the style of the Cycle Chic movement in Copenhagen, I decided to design my own light.
Unfortunately, my bike and light were recently stolen. I entered a contest on Instructables.com to win a new laser cutter so that I can make another light and start my own bike light company. Be sure to check out Instructables and vote for me! And if you see my stolen bike anywhere in Oakland, please let me know!

DIY home for less than $3500
Uploaded by kirstendirksen
In a town where the median home price is over half a million dollars, Jenine Alexander decided to build her own. Using resources like the tiny house blogs and the 1950 bestselling DIY book "Your Dream Home: How to Build It for Less Than $3,500" (a gift from a friend), Jenine spent less than $3,500 on her home. In fact, she used nearly only materials recovered from the dump or found on craigslist and the only things she paid for were a used trailer and fasteners (nails, screws, hinges, etc).
She built it on wheels not just to get around minimum size standards, but mostly because she couldn't afford land in her hometown of Healdsburg, California.

Sunglasses. The frame size is perfect for this project - http://useth.at/aol6a
Mini Spy Camera with Audio - http://useth.at/aulv
Scissors or wire cutters. My favorite tool for this kind of task is the 5-in-1Multi-Purpose Scissors right here - http://bit.ly/5in1-Scissors
Black Wires 24 Gauge - http://bit.ly/soCjjv
Soldering Iron. You won't need an expensive one for this project. - http://bit.ly/unYo5n
Heat Shrinkable Wire Wrap - http://useth.at/a75qk
Sticky Ass Glue (Strong Glue, the best IMHO) - http://bit.ly/StrongGlue
( Optional ) USB S-Video and Composite Video Capture Cable with Audio TV. You may prefer this over buying a new DV Camcorder if you don't have one already. This alternative recording method could prove more handy and less expensive. It fits nicely into a pocket - http://useth.at/aph9 - If you already have a DV camcorder you may only need to add an RCA to USB adapter - http://useth.at/al94f
And if really you don't want to go through the hassle of assembling your own spy sunglasses you can always give a try to this pre-assembled model - http://useth.at/a4948
How To Make Spy Sunglasses
How To Make Spy Sunglasses : Secretly record video and audio without anyone knowing with these stealth spy sunglasses that cost less than $40. Now you can have your very own hidden camera! Think of the possibilities!Secretly record video and audio without anyone knowing with these stealth spy sunglasses that cost less than $40. Now you can have your very own hidden camera! Think of the possibilities! Step 1: $40 spy glasses: I always thought it would be cool to have a pair of covert spy sunglasses, you know where you could record video without anybody knowing. So I decided to make my own pair - for under forty bucks. Step 2: Materials: First I picked up a micro spy camera on my favorite auction site. This has color video and audio, and it was delivered to my door for about eighteen bucks. Then I picked up a pair of black solar-shield sunglasses, these were nineteen ninety five and will be perfect for this project. Step 3: Modifying ther camera Well the first thing we need to do is modify this spy camera. And we do that by removing all the wiring from the single cable - I ended up with four small wires: video, audio, power, and ground. Then I cut the wires about three inches from the camera, because we're going to extend this length of cable just using some small 24-gauge or smaller black wire. I individually marked and then soldered four lanes of black wire to the existing wires coming from the camera. Add some shrink tubing to protect all the connections, then solder the other end of the black wire to the three original connections and the ground. After applying some more shrink tubing, your micro-camera is ready to be installed in the sunglasses. Step 4: Connect up the camera. The camera fits perfectly right in the corner where no one can see it. That's where I'll use the hot glue to mount it, and run your wiring along the arm to conceal it. My recorder will be this small Sony handicam which fits perfectly in my pocket and records to mini-DV. Then make your final connections: video, audio, and your 9-volt power supply to power the camera. Step 5: Try it yourself... After concealing all the wiring, we took it on a test run. I was amazed at the clarity of this small camera, and no one knew I was recording video and audio at the same time. I'm sure you could come up with some unlimited uses for these covert spy sunglasses. And even Domino likes them.

5 Dollar DIY Laser Show
Here's a neat party trick, make your own LASER SHOW for only 5 bucks! All you need is: 1) Rubber string, 2) A cheap pen laser, 3) A mirror or two, 4) A relay or two, 5) A rare-earth magnet. All you do is dismantling the relay into an electro-magnet, glue your rare-earth magnet to the tiny mirror, glue the mirror with the magnet to a rubber-string, stretch it onto something so the mirror can vibrate freely, and tighten as needed. Place your newly modified (relay) electro-magnet right behind the rare earth magnet, make sure it doesn't touch - but have some distance between it, maybe 2 mm or so.
Now, aim the laser at the mirror (make sure YOU don't get blinded by it!), and have it reflect onto a white surface (or fluorescent for that cool effect if you have a blue one). And connect your electromagnet to an audio source of some sort. Use a 24v relay if you're connecting it to a stereo. 3-5 volt relay if you're connecting it to an audio headset output, make sure you turn the VOLUME ALL THE WAY DOWN - so you don't blow the output of your amplifier/stereo.
Have fun!
