While there are no real electronics involved in this prank, it would be awesome to do on a roommate. Encase their entire desktop keyboard in jello! The write-up has very detailed pictures showing you exactly how to do it without causing too much harm.

The wifi radio is an attempt to build a conventional radio that streams from the internet rather than from radio waves. The project write-up has detailed step-by-step instructions for both the electronics and the bad ass looking wooden enclosure design.

Straight from the write-up: “The basic idea is when making a purchase with a credit or ATM card, the transaction information is automatically packaged and sent to a webserver where it can be logged in a database. A web interface would then allow consumers to log into their accounts and view their transactions online all in one place.” Take a look at how it is made.

This ridiculous project was meant to duplicate the “Wayne Manor” secret entrance to the bat cave through a moving bookcase. The electronics are extremely straight forward, but it is somewhat laughable how it was built and how it works. Take a look for a short read and some pictures.

You read that correctly. The new york exit art gallery hosted this device that was powered and housed by house flys. A sensor detects movement inside the sphere and moves the device according to that movement. Kind of weird though isn’t it?
