Spinning RGB LED Ball II

"QUOTE" When this baby hits 88 miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious sh!t!

Unlike it's predecessor this one has three axes. It was very challenging to build, with a total of 9 slip-contacts, not including the motors. I made it from scrap I had laying around and it took about a week to build. I use standard DC-motors controlled with pulse width modulation, the LEDs are controlled with a modified bike light with adjustable frequency. I'm very sorry about the quality, my camera can't keep up and it makes a lot of flicker that isn't really there, and the LEDs oversaturate the image. LINK: Youtube

Aspiral Analog Clocks Use a Ball Instead of Hands

Aspiral Clocks don't use hands or digital displays, just a ball. The clock itself spins, driving the ball through a spiral until—every twelve hours—it disappears in a hole at the center. Confused? Here's a video: Via: Youtube



But for $545, it will probably only excite fans of Bill Halley. [It's Nice That], Via: Gizmodo

Surely, This Remote-Controlled Bowling Ball Is the Devil's Contraption

You thought Walter and the Dude got mad when that guy stepped over the line in The Big Lebowski? Just wait until they run into this bewitched remote-controlled bowling ball. The Dude most certainly does not abide, man.

Sadly, there's more tech involved here than witchcraft, which doesn't exist. Instead, this cheater's bowling ball, created by the nefarious folks at 900 Global, uses an internal "weight screwed onto a threaded shaft inside the ball," and perhaps an incarcerated hamster to steer itself down the lane and into the target.

The goal here is actually to help young children and those with physical limitations bowl better. Perfection ain't cheap though: The 900 Global ball will run you $1,500. And your immortal soul! [Popular Mechanics | Via: Gawker TV | Via: Gizmodo | Via: Youtube].
