  1. If you want a wind turbine design that does work by Willard+B.+Trophy · · Score: 1 · on Old Hard Drives = Free Electricity
    Talk to the remarkable Hugh Piggott.

    Hugh's design uses a truck brake drum lined with permanent magnets. It is in use the world over, and is extremely reliable.

    Using high performance magnetic materials has increased the power output considerably. I don't know if scavenged hard drive magnets are quite the right shape.

    OF course, some of us get to play with rather larger permanent magnet alternators, like this one (480x512 JPEG image) belonging to WindShare in Toronto ...

  2. a few urls (human powered electronics) by xof · · Score: 4, Informative · on Pedal Powered Wireless Networked Computer?
    I did not find URLs for hand-powered military transmitters (but would be interested to get one). ? See also 'human powered flight' (Gossamer Condor), there are also submarines I think ;-)
    Don't exercice too much, keep some blood for the brains.

    ...weaving the web (connecting things, so other people can find too)
  3. Re:Are you trolling? by cowbutt · · Score: 2 · on DMCA Attacks: NAI Tells Sites To Remove PGP (Updated)
    I can't imagine a generic program that would support your CD-ROM idea.

    You could always run your data through cdencrypt before you PGP/GPG it. ;-)

  4. Sounds like an expensive Sinclair C5. It failed. by Thag · · Score: 2 · on Chrysler Announces Hydrogen Fuel Cell Van

    See here and here.

    The Sinclair C5 was a plastic-bodied electric trike with pedal assist, and was supposed to be the Next Big Thing at one point. But, nobody bought it. It was about an order of magnitude cheaper than what you're suggesting, too.

    Basically, a car has to be a certain minimum size to be useful to people. Even the existing subcompact cars are too small for 99% of the public. For most Americans, it has to hold 4 people and their luggage. A trike has no chance in the market whatsoever.

  5. Some resources: by spinkham · · Score: 3 · on PalmOS Development With Linux?

    O'reilly book online for free Palm Development-Howto Links to more info and I assume you have gcc for palm as well as prc.. All that can be found here: http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/tools/gcc/ Hope that helps.

  6. Great archive of classics video game trackers by mattbee · · Score: 1 · on Minibosses Rock Nostalgic

    I guess this archive is a bit more modern than what those guys play, but if you crave that Amiga experience, it's, well, addictive. It includes the classics such as Gods, SWIV, Magic Pockets (heard the original Betty Boo song on the telly the other day; the Magic Pockets music is a darned good remix given it's only about 200K :-) )... anyway, it's all here.

  7. Re:Now, a Palm based devel environment is needed by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on PalmPilot Fullsize Keyboard

    I guess you're missing the forest for the trees. Linux is a great OS and I have it running on two of my machines, but it isn't the best OS for everything.

    You can download the PalmSDK for free along with GCC for the PalmOS and develop today. If you want to buy Codewarrior for the PalmOS you can, but you do not need to buy anything.

    Here is a link:

    You might even find this link more useful:
    http://homepages.enterprise.net/j marshall/palmos/

    Palm has even purchased the CoPilot emulator from the author and made it available and open source.

    There is a ton of information out there. If you were actually interested in developing for the device you would have seen this by now. It was never hidden.
