Bored at Home ???
Try out these cool projects and learn something awesome in your boredom.
These projects may be very useful in your school and college science events.


1. e-Skateboard
Skateboards are always fun to use. These are small-time machine type gadgets. But how can we make it cooler than normal skateboards?

Power up your skateboard with an electric motor and extend your comfort. For this, attach your motor with rollers of the skateboard by a belt-pulley arrangement. Do a little bit of circuit designing so that when you lean forward board moves ahead and vice versa for backward movement. Connect skateboard with a battery and your e-Skateboard is ready.
Watch the above video to get a better idea for making it.


 2. Cell-phone Operated Vehicle

Controlling any mobile vehicle with a radio frequency-based receiver is never been an easy task.
Main problems that we face is its limited operational and frequency range with specific controls,
What about controlling it with the help of a cell phone?
This idea is far better than traditional controllers. The best feature is its quick control and extreme range. For control, we have to call the phone connected with the vehicle. During the call, if we press a numpad, the tone produced is processed by the microcontroller mounted on the vehicle. We can use ATmega16 microcontroller with DTMF decoder MT8870.


3. e-Notepad
                             
By making your own cool e-Notepad, you can get rid of rubbish sticky notes and give a small contribution to our planet. e-Notepads are very convenient, easy and handy to use. If we look out at shopping websites, available e-Notepads are not that good and costs a lot. For getting started,
all we need is LCD screen, trackpad, microcontroller, battery, resistors, capacitors, etc. It would take about 6-8 hours to build.


4. Suger-fueled Rocket
WARNING: THIS PROJECT IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO WEAR SECURITY EQUIPMENTS.


Do you know your dumb sugar powder is a secret ingredient of rocket fuel???
Yes, You can make your homemade rocket with cheap potassium nitrate, powdered sugar and PVC pipe. You can also use finely powdered iron rust instead of potassium nitrate as an oxygen provider.
Our rocket mixture must have 2 parts of potassium nitrate and 1 part of powdered sugar.
It can go above 4 km of height in the sky.
Make Suger Rockets
This link of wikiHow will definitely help you.


 5. Smart Talking Humanoid 
Building an interactive humanoid is believed to be a tough task by many nerds. But it is not a hard nut to crack.
MOFIZA - A Smart Talking Robot
Using the above link, we can get the whole idea to make it. MOFIZA is an Arduino based humanoid. The interesting parts of this robot are that it can sense, talk and react to the surrounding environment.



Thanks for reading.

How does a NPU, Neural Processing Unit, works? - Science Feed

By
A NPU (Neural Processing Unit), also knows as AI accelerator, is a computing unit specially designed for the running artificial intelligence and machine learning models efficiently and effectively on a single motherboard with other computing units.  There has been significant rise in the use of NPUs in personal devices like smartphones, laptops, PCs etc. to do personalized recommendations and offline AI processing.  NPUs are capable of parallel processing, low precision arithmetic, hardware acceleration.  These have silicon architecture to kind of simulate the human brain working like human where instruction set of AI efficiently ran. NPUs are not for computing traditional problems as it lacks important physical capabilities. Because of these, AI systems are able to learn faster without wasting time and energy. The parallel computation feature give wings to matrix operations ease, activation functions of neural networks, dot product.  NPUs have got dedicated compute ...

What is Dark Energy? - Science Feed

By
There are different forms of energy. But, there has been speculation of an hidden form of energy that has been kind of hiding from us which constitutes a large part of our universe.  The universe has been found to be expanding faster than the speed of light. The traditional form of energy that we have found has been to be not able to provide that much of push. So, there must be something. This type of energy is called Dark Energy. Dark Energy is that form of energy that is not understood by us but it is fundamental in nature and drives the process of the universe. In Theory of General Relativity, there is concept of cosmological constant which says there is a negative of gravitation or empty space that is all over the interstellar space.  The researchers of DES and others have found that the universe is expanding not alone of known form of energy but some mysterious form of it. This is also related to Big Bang. Dark energy is told to be constituent of 68 to 70% of total univer...

How are LIDARs changing field of Robotics - Science Feed

By
In the field of robotics, there is crucial role of sensors out of which the LIDARs (Light Detection and Ranging Sensors) are very important.  LIDAR sensors send the light and detects back the reflected light from any object to estimate how much far away the object is based on the calculations. Laser is used as primary light source as it can bounce back on most surfaces. These are used to make maps of the area where the robot will move around for navigation.  There are different kinds of LIDAR sensors like 1D LIDARs, 2D LIDARs, 3D LIDARs and even 4D LIDARs.  1D LIDARs are most basic type of it because these emit laser in one direction at a time and a point for point cloud is created. A point cloud is a group of large number of points that create map of the area. 1D LIDAR then moves in other direction and make different point after that.  2D LIDARs are the better version of 1D LIDARs as if you are rotating the 1D LIDAR in continuous rotation to project it in a circular...
