Bored at Home ??? Best projects you can try out when bored - Science Feed

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
Cell Phone Controlled Robotic Vehicle - Edgefx Technologies Pvt ...            
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.


Jonathan Carter's Experimental Sugar Rocket Home Page

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.

Quantum Computer at Google solves real world problem 13,000x faster than current Supercomputers - Science Feed

On 22 October 2025, Google announced that they have solved a real world problem using their Quantum Echoes algorithm that did the work 13,000 times faster than current supercomputers.  This was the first time it has ever done where they used out of order time correlator OOTC algorithm. This  algorithm is verifiable since it can be ran again and again to get consistent result. They have released a scientific paper over this where they were able to do study of molecular structure using their latest Willow quantum computing chip. This chip used 105 qubit arrays to simulate the molecular behaviour. In this task, they disturbed one qubit from the simulated structure which lead to the formation of butterfly effect inside kind of like wave. This was first done in forward operations. After this, they ran the same operation but from the reverse side.  Both the sides waves start interacting with each other and give useful insights about the quantum nature.  According to Google...

Why James Webb Space Telescope is so special - Science Feed

In order to observe the universe, we need a telescope. But there is huge difference between a traditional telescope and a space telescope. A space telescope is able to observe things beyond imagination. In this article, we will explore about James Webb Space Telescope.   James Webb Space Telescope is largest telescope in space right now. It is built in collaboration of NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency). The purpose of James Webb Space Technology was to observe the formation of distant galaxies, exoplanets, discoveries related to formation of first stars etc. This telescope was launched on 25 December, 2021 where its destination was a solar orbit about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth.  This telescope is far different from our traditional telescope because it seeks out for near-infrared rays, orange and red light for observation. The telescope has 6.5 meter diameter gold coated beryllium prima...

What is Kardashev Scale? - Science Feed

Have you ever imagined what is the sheer scale of our universe and how the future of human civilization is. There is scale of things that can be framed in and outside of our Universe. In this article, we have discussed the same curious question. Kardashev Scale is the method by which we measure scale of a civilization about their technological advancements, developments, scale etc. is based on the amount of the energy being used.  This was proposed by a Soviet era astronomer Nikolai Kardashev in Byurakan Conference 1964 inside the article of Transmission of Information by Extraterrestrial Civilizations.  Type I, II and III are the original types by Nikolai Kardashev. There are others types too since these three are not enough for complete explanation of civilization's scale. Type 0 Civilization This type of civilization is not able to harness and use energy levels of 4 × 10 12  watts/sec, basically less than that. In other words, the civilization must be able to use all...
