    About robots

    I personally would use what Lavaguava has said and ask the op, what do you consider a robot? there are android, mechanoids, cyborgs, nanites, 3d printers, replicators, AI controlled, steam controlled, wind controlled... the list goes on for years. if the is a precise robot you are referring too...

    Aftermarket Radio LCD Swap ?

    It really depends. Some of those fandangled devices control things like cruise control and air con. If you put in the wrong device it can make an object not perform well or worse you will be stuck doing 200kmh in a 40 zone during school time with a heater blowing steam at you on a 40degree day...

    How To Annoy Those Helping You Out

    so I am the lowest level of electronic Jedi (or sith) on here. but I review posts from time to time to learn things. one thing I find more annoying than anything is when people post a long winded explanation of an item, going into details about the weather, the brand of multimeter they used, the...

    can i dodgy up a slipring connector?

    hey peoples. anyone know how to make a home made slip ring connector? I was hoping for 8 wires including data. I originally looked at headphone plugs and sockets but they stopped at 4, and am assuming would get noise on the line for data as always your help is appreciated.

    Where Can I Buy a 100w Resistor?

    so what size battery you charging? the 2.0v would charge an AA battery at best. if you give us pics, then we might be able to help more. the 2.0v to that circuit will just be used to light the LED, so now we need to see the rest of the circuit.

I am sorry to...

    Free Energy / Energy Harvesters / Perpetual Motion

    I have always loved the term "free energy". it actually should be "no ongoing costs" energy. buying a turbine, solar panel etc isn't cheap, I have been trying for ages. and then the local government puts so many restrictions on how they are used and installed that you have to have a qualified...
