Dim the Lights Without a Dimmer - Mechanical Dimming Iris Lamp : 12 Steps (with Pictures)

Dim the Lights Without a Dimmer - Mechanical Dimming Iris Lamp : 12 Steps (with Pictures) | Daily DIY | Scoop.it

I built this mechanically dimming lamp because, I hated the flicker of LED's when you dim them down. This flicker ruined my romantic dinners with my wife turning them into some sort of rave party. So using the idea of a camera aperture or iris. I designed and built this one of a kind lamp to mechanically dim light rather than do it electronically. In turn, saving my romantic dinners with my wife and ending rave parties at my house forever.

THE OFFICIAL ANDREASCY's insight:

If you don't have a dimmer switch installed in your lighting setup, there are still several ways to achieve a dimming effect. Some of these methods may not provide the same level of control as a dimmer switch, but they can help create a softer and more comfortable lighting atmosphere in your space.

 

Always follow safety guidelines when modifying or adjusting lighting fixtures.

Ceiling Branch Lamp From PVC Pipe & 3D Prints : 13 Steps (with Pictures) | Daily DIY | Scoop.it

This project is part of my Master's thesis and design research about open-design and distributed design.

 

I want to get a better understanding and connection to the maker community. Therefore I'm looking forward to see how this project will be received. My hope is that someone, somewhere would like to re-create this and hopefully even customize and re-iterate the design.

Make a Mechanical Bug From a Vacuum Tube : 8 Steps (with Pictures)

Make a Mechanical Bug From a Vacuum Tube : 8 Steps (with Pictures) | Daily DIY | Scoop.it

I have quite a lot of vacuum tubes collected over the years and I'm always thinking of things to do with them. I actually have a bit of an obsession with them! To me they are beautiful objects. I've made displays for them in the past, stuck LED's into them and used them on ray gun builds.

 

This time I decided to make some little spider mechanical bugs out of them! I had seen something similar and thought that I could make my own version.

RADIANT FLOOR HYDRONIC (water) HEATING SYSTEM : 11 Steps (with Pictures)

RADIANT FLOOR HYDRONIC (water) HEATING SYSTEM : 11 Steps (with Pictures) | Daily DIY | Scoop.it

This is about installing hydronic radiant floor heating in a slab floor system. While it was done as a new house was being built, in my last house I poured a concrete floor on top of a wood framed floor system and could have put radiant heat in that as well. The system works via pex pipe, a small pump, a water heater, and a thermostat.

The Ultimate Floor Cleaning Robot (v2.0) : 16 Steps (with Pictures)

The Ultimate Floor Cleaning Robot (v2.0) : 16 Steps (with Pictures) | Daily DIY | Scoop.it

Around 5 years back I made a Floor Cleaning Robot (CleanSweep) from scratch, which was a hit and a lot of people followed the guide and tried making their own robot. But that design actually had some flaws. So last year I had to make my Engineering Mini Project and I decided to work on the same idea but with some improvements. However, it is quite ironical that even after 3 years of university I worked on the same project that I built when I was in school (lol).

Indoor Moss Microbial Fuel Cell : 5 Steps (with Pictures)

Indoor Moss Microbial Fuel Cell : 5 Steps (with Pictures) | Daily DIY | Scoop.it

I have been studying electrochemistry for some years and one day, I discovered something fascinating. I read a paper that showed that plants could be used to generate electrical power. Now, the mechanism behind how it works is a bit complex and some knowledge in chemistry is needed. Organic oxidation and reduction of bacteria cause potential differences and stores energy, just like capacitors. If you want to know more about the chemical process look at

The thing is, making these plant fuel cells are crazy simple! So I am here to show you how to make your plant fuel cell. The research uses moss, which blew my mind off first because these plants don't have roots!

Microbit Function Generator : 11 Steps (with Pictures)

Microbit Function Generator : 11 Steps (with Pictures) | Daily DIY | Scoop.it

Waveform generation may not immediately spring to mind with regard to the Microbit as it is a digital device.

 

However, with the addition of some external logic, waveforms other than pulses can be generated.

 

This will be realised with a Function Generator, which is a signal generator that produces different types of waveforms.

 

In this case these waveforms will be sine, sawtooth and pulse with the pulse frequency adjustable over the range 0 to 1MHz.

 

This project is an enhancement to an earlier project previously published:

Most levitation occurs through magnets, but what about making objects levitate with something else, like sound? This design demonstrates acoustic levitation, a concept that uses opposing sound waves to make a tiny object levitate.

TiLite ZR Footplate Light - Harmanie Light : 5 Steps (with Pictures)

TiLite ZR Footplate Light - Harmanie Light : 5 Steps (with Pictures) | Daily DIY | Scoop.it

Introducing the Harmanie light! This project was inspired by my best friend Harmanie, thus the name. We were walking down a sidewalk in Vancouver at night and I saw that in the spaces between street lights the sidewalk was occasionally very dark and made it hard for us to see obstacles. It occurred to me that she could really benefit from a flashlight that would always be with her chair. Harmanie is a disabled dance artist who dances in her chair so the light needed to be sleek and nearly hidden so she wouldn't have to remove it for performances. She also had an open footplate design so I decided I could hide a battery between the tubes, put led's along the bottom, and also give her a solid surface for her feet. And Harmanie loves gold.

As the uncle of a 5 year old curious boy, I have to make something "out of the mainstream" for his birthday, as usual. This time just something simple like a kaleidoscope. Hmmm, I can do better than that, so I fitted it with LEDs and a battery, and it was an LED kaleidoscope. Old technology brought into the 21st century. But we'll have to take it apart on His birthday, because He'll want to know how the whole thing works.

Pneumatic Air Graver From Bolt : 14 Steps (with Pictures)

Pneumatic Air Graver From Bolt : 14 Steps (with Pictures) | Daily DIY | Scoop.it

This instructable is about making an air graver. In the past, I made the same tool but the working principle is completely different. That graver uses suction and compression while the one I am telling in this Instructables only uses compression, which means that the regular air compressor works without any hassle. Now one thing that is similar in both cases is that I am using a 20 mm bolt for the build. I do a lot of stainless steel work and I have a few of these bolts available from one of the repairs I didn't do a few years ago. This build requires quite a lot of precision and doing this without a lathe is a bit more difficult task to do but if you ask me it's definitely doable and the only thing you need is patience.

Large Egg Made From a Single 2x4 : 24 Steps (with Pictures)

Large Egg Made From a Single 2x4 : 24 Steps (with Pictures) | Daily DIY | Scoop.it

On the Instructables website I saw the "One board contest". In the description of the contest it said: "We want to see how you can maximize material usage through smart, efficient designs."

It made me think: what can I make from a single 2x4 framing stud, using the entire stud efficiently?

 

While I was thinking about what I could make, I was looking out of the window and our chicken came to sit just in front of me. I thought: I am going to make a large egg from a single 2x4 and try to make it as large as possible.

 

If I would make the egg of solid wood, the egg would not be very large, so I decided to make a hollow egg by cutting the 2x4 in many small pieces and gluing them all together.

Traffic Lights Circuit Without a Micro Controller : 5 Steps (with Pictures)

Traffic Lights Circuit Without a Micro Controller : 5 Steps (with Pictures) | Daily DIY | Scoop.it

Let’s take it back to basic by modeling the traffic lights circuit on a Powered Breadboard PBB-272B and with a few other electronics components. This circuit turns ON the green LED, keeps it ON for some time, then turns ON the yellow LED for a moment, and finally turns ON the red LED for almost the same duration as the green LED. This cycle again starts from the green LED.
