Projects

I work on various projects pretty much constantly but only post things to this site in sporadic bursts. Expect to see a mix of electronics, craftwork, chemistry, and miscellaneous experiments on here.

	Date	Title
	01/01/05	"Cerenkov" Lamp	A tabletop lamp of glass and wood that illuminates with a lovely blue light which resembles the wonderful, mysterious blue glow of Cerenkov radiation.
	01/12/06	AC Powered LED Glowlamp	Made from a lucite pencil holder, this lamp uses reactance to limit current from the mains line and power a chain of LEDs without the bulk of a transformer or dissipative waste of a series resistor.
	11/10/04	Bloodmetal Ring	A tempered iron ring made from pipe scrap.
	11/04/06	Bookdrive	USB-connected FlashROM digital storage concealed inside a book.
	11/10/04	Burning Box	I should work for Enron. A paper shredder's got nothing on me. This is how you really destroy unwanted documents, and what was written on them, and any stress connected to them.
	01/14/08	Capacitor Six-Pack	It's a six-pack, but it isn't beer.
	01/01/05	Doodles with a Calligraphy Pen	A cheap calligraphy pen doesn't cost more than a couple dollars, and makes any doodle look amazing!
	04/21/06	Early Rocket Fuel Trials	Old pictures of one of my first attempts at making an effective sugar-nitrate solid rocket fuel.
	01/01/05	Engraved Bone Jewelry	Deer bones + dremel + microwave oven + sandpaper + dremel again = a handful of engraved pendants and bone sewing needles.
	12/14/04	Experiment: Can ultraviolet LEDs be used to erase EPROM chips?	LEDs purported to be active in the near UV region have recently become available at my budget level. Can these devices erase EPROM memories, potentially eliminating the need for dangerous, expensive, and less efficient UV lamps?
