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.

Theranos: A Complete Story - Science Feed

Theranos, the blood testing startup founded by Elizabeth Holmes that pulled off the biggest scam ever happened in the Silicon Valley. From 2003 to 2008 this company grew spectacularly, but as we all know whenever someone tries to have everything in the world someone else is waiting for them to grab them down to nothing just like what happened to Stratton Oakmont and it's very CEO Jordan Belfort . Stratton Oakmont was the biggest Wall Street firm till 1999 when Belfort accused of money laundering, stock market manipulation and fined for 190 million dollars. The same goes for Theranos, so lets begin from the beginning and see what was Theranos hiding in their vault. Elizabeth Holmes dropped out of Stanford at the age of 19 to start Theranos, which was then called Real-Time Cures. She was inspired both by her grandfather's medical career, and her summer 2003 internship at the Genome Institute of Singapore. Briefly after the internship she wrote up a patent application f...

What is Fermi Paradox? - Science Feed

Have you ever thought why we have not found any advanced intelligent organism yet? Or is there any other type of life form outside our planet Earth? These are the basic questions that come into mind when we talk about Fermi Paradox. Fermi Paradox Fermi paradox is the lack of compatibility or contradiction between the high chances of existence of extraterrestrial civilization in the universe and lack of evidence to find them or communicate with them. This was termed after the name of physicist Enrico Fermi. It casually came in head of Fermi during talk with his colleagues and he asked, "Where is everybody?". Early and Related Theories Before Fermi Enrico, the founding father of modern rocket science  Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky, a  Russian scientist, proposed Zoo hypothesis. In Zoo hypothesis, it is speculated that the extraterrestrial civilization knows about our existence but instead of contacting us, they opt to do observation on us similar to animals in zoo.  Th...

Internet of Future - Quantum Internet

Have you ever wondered about how the Internet will look like in our future, how much powerful it will be, what are the various tasks it can do, etc. The answer to these questions is "Quantum Internet - Internet of Future". There are lots of reasons behind saying it is the Internet of Future. But before knowing the reasons, we should first understand - "What is Quantum Internet?". So, According to some experts,         The quantum internet is a network for transmitting qubits between distant locations. Hmm..., What are Qubits???                       Let me explain, When we use our classical computers, our information (more specifically our data) is processed or transferred in the units of 1 or 0, called "Bits". But in the case of quantum computers, it uses 1 or 0 or both at the same time (superposition state), named "Qubits"(sometimes quantum bit or qbit). Qubits are far more different from tra...
