How To Build A Knife Throwing Robot Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for Makers

How To Build A Knife Throwing Robot

Have you ever wanted a hand-held knife launching robot that always hits its target? No? Well Quint Builds did and he (and his son) went through the exhausting process of designing it. This build is so much more complex than it looks at a glance. Take for example the simple task of holding a knife. []

Bio-based Building Materials Developed in Holland Natural Building Blog

The Green Village, iCircl and the Province of South Holland opened a new living lab, called Biobased Boulevard, part of The Green Village on TU Delft Campus. The intention is to use bio-based building materials in construction and renovation on a large scale. Natural raw materials such as hemp, bamboo, mycelium and seaweed are renewable, store CO2 and can be grown, harvested, used and reused in an ecologically responsible way.

The aim of the Biobased Boulevard to produce building products such as roof tiles and walls that are actually used in large construction projects. The director of The Green Village: says, Our rule-free field lab is the practical place for entrepreneurs, construction companies, clients, researchers and governments to test, develop and demonstrate bio-based building products and circular innovations. Here we bring all stakeholders together to gain knowledge, exchange and cooperate. This is an essential step to stimulate upscaling and to ultimately ensure biobased building products are used on a large scale.

Three products have already been developed.

1.    The Bio-Circular interior wall made with seaweed

The wall consists of stackable frames made of reclaimed wood, into which bio-based insulation mats are incorporated. The frames are covered with sheet material made of seaweed.

The advantage of seaweed is that it is a fast-growing crop that can be sustainably cultivated, requiring no land or fresh water. At the same time, the seaweed absorbs large amounts of CO2 and nitrogen, which is stored in the material. By mounting the seaweed panels on the frames with detachable glue, the panels themselves, as well as the frames, can be separated without damage and reused elsewhere.

From Start To Finish: Making A Professional Looking Space Mouse

If youve never heard of a space mouse, the term probably elicited a giggle. A space mouse is an input device like a mouse, but instead of sliding it over a surface, it works more like a 3d point in space. You would typically use it in a 3D program, like CAD. This allows you []
