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...

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

By
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...
