Anindya Nandy:  Computer mouseComputer mouse is generally cleaned by applying the cleaning solution on the dry cloth and using the same cloth on the mouse. Difficulty level: Easy Time required: 30 minutes Resources required 1. The instruction manual from the manufacturer of the mouse 2. Dry and clean cotton cloth 3. Mild computer cleaning solution 4. Cotton swab 5. Paperclip 6. Small knife 7. Screwdriver 8. Alcohol 9. Container Instructions 1. Shut down the whole system first and read the manual Before you begin the mouse cleaning regime, ensure that the system is properly shut down. Check carefully that the main wire to the power supply slot is removed. Locate the mouse port of the computer, which is generally found at the back of the system. But at times it may also be attached to the computer by means of a USB port. Once you have found out the connecting port, unplug it totally. Finally check and be confirmed that there is no electric supply anywhere in the whole system. Now, get hold of the manufacturer's manual where the whole process of recommended steps are given that are to be followed meticulously while cleaning the mouse. In case if the manual is not found or no cleaning regime is stated there in the manual you can search the net and get necessary feedback and useful guidelines on your project. 2. Clean the wire It is not that the surface of the mouse which is handled the most and is the most dirt prone area. The wire connected to the mouse can also gather grime and depositions over the time. Thus, get hold of the dry cotton cloth and dip it in some computer cleaning solution. Avoid too much of solution while cleansing as it can make the surface to be cleaned, oily and slippery. Likewise, too less cleansing solution can also not be proper as it will not be effective against the accumulated grime. Anyhow, take the sufficient quantity of the cleansing agent in the cloth and hold the wire with the same. Run your hand along the entire length of the wire. Follow the same method for various wires that connects the mouse to the different parts of the computer; the one that connects it with the keyboard, the other that is connected to the USB port or the back of the computer, etc. 3. Clean the surface of the mouse Initially rub the entire surface of the mouse with a clean, dry cloth so that the loose dirt can be removed. Otherwise it will get stuck on to the device when the cleansing liquid will be used, making the process further messy. Now, dip the clean cotton cloth in the cleansing solution and drip it dry so that there is no excess liquid, or else there will be water and soap marks on the surface of the mouse. Now, rub the surface gently with the detergent dipped cloth till it becomes shiny and squeaky clean. Turn the mouse upside down to clean the other side of it too. Once your work is done, leave it in open space so that it dries up completely. 4. Clean the internal part of the mouse In case if your mouse has a rubber ball in it, open the mouse cover located at the underside of the mouse. Give it slight pressure and pull it towards the arrow mark, imprinted on it and the case will automatically open. In order to remove the stubborn dirt and grime from the ball and the inside of the case, use knife, screwdriver, small stick and paper clip to remove grime from those hard to reach areas. Now, dip the cotton swab in alcohol and gently rub it all over the internal part of the mouse and the the ball. Leave it in open air till it gets dry and replace the cover again when the work is finally done. If you have an optical mouse, there is no need to open it at all. All you need to do is to dip the clean cotton swab in alcohol and carefully rub and clean the optical light at the bottom of the mouse. 5. Test the mouse Once you are through with the cleaning, plug the mouse and fix the wires again, at it was previously. Switch on the power and examine if the mouse is working well or not. Frequently asked questions 1. Q. When do I need to clean my mouse? A. It should be cleaned at least once a month. In case of accumulation of dirt immediate cleaning can be done. 2. Q. Does cleaning the mouse regularly at intervals improve its efficiency? A. Yes as it prevents the deposition of dirt on its sensory parts. Quick tips 1. Clean the mouse whenever it stumbles or appears to be slow 2. In case of mouse with rubber ball, if you find rubber on your mouse pad, clean the mouse immediately. Things to watch out for 1. Never start cleaning the mouse if the system is in power and the mouse is plugged in. 2. After cleaning, assemble the various parts of the mouse only when it is completely dry.  |
Aravind Balasubramanya:  Steampunk iPhoneRetro Concept: The iPhone Goes Steampunk at the iLounge It is not simply said that “Old is Gold.” The purists even go to the extent of considering the “new as nuisance!” While we do not wish to debate on that, there is definitely a charm in all things that are ancient and historic. And a few designers have put in their ingenuity to come up with cell phones that look like they have done a time travel to arrive in the 21st century. We wish to present here, eight steampunk phones that will make you drool. 1. Steampunk cell phone  Steampunk Cell PhoneSteampunk Cell Phone Takes Tech Backwards This gold colored box you see looks like some meter from a bygone era no doubt. But it is a phone! No data plan. No 3G. No games or widgets. But hey! Just wait. There is no keypad also? You make your calls using the binary coded punch cards; it could not have got spunkier than this! This phone defines the term ‘call card’! A rugged brown casing holds the ear piece and mouth piece and of course a few dials. Every time you want to order a pizza, you have to punch cards in. Those steampunk fans out there are sure to rejoice and well, companies better start having custom designed punch cards to distribute as the contact numbers! 2. Russian steam punk phone  Russian steam punk phoneRussian steam punk phone This is a rich Russian (we have noted the paradox here!) father’s gift to his daughter! The phone is all metal and from the backside, it becomes hard to identify as a phone also. Built like a powerful engine, the phone is all nuts, bolts and screws. Ball bearing double up as buttons on the dialing pad. It could also be a handy weapon to use if attacked! Built solidly, the phone packs a punch and its brass and gold look gives it the romance of the medieval ages. 3. Pezzano's steampunk phone  Pezzano's steampunk phonePezzano's steampunk phone You cannot get a better retro fitted, golden hued ‘green’ phone than this one. Looking like the strong buckle of a leather belt, this phone has been made entirely from recycled materials and functions only as what a phone is meant to do; make calls and communicate with the other person! Refined with nano-steam technology, this 15cm x 5cm completely recycled phone comes packed with a foldable antenna that is about 30cm long. It has been glued, screwed and painted to appeal to the steampunks and if ordered, there is the promise of delivery anywhere across the globe. There is no display on the phone but let us assure you that the phone itself is a display of its own! 4. Treo Smartphone Mark 1  Treo Smartphone Mark 1Treo Smartphone Mark 1 The phone is not digital and so the clock too is not. But hey! There is a display! Making a happy marriage of the modern with the classy ancient, here is a smartphone that has been modified to thrill the steampunk aficionados. In functionality, you cannot get a better modern phone and in looks, it kills anything with its classic beauty. An embossed clock adds to the looks. The Steampunk Treo Smartphone Mark 1 has been redesigned and retro fitted with brass plates and a leather case. To say the least, it is hard, rugged, cool and completely functional with all mod facilities a simply awesome combination to let go. 5. Celsius X VI II LEDIX 'phone'  Celsius X VI II LEDIX 'phone'Celsius X VI II LEDIX 'phone' Here is a phone that the emperors and empresses of yore would have fallen in love with if only they had the chance of having it! Made regally with grade 5 titanium, this phone has a mechanically elucidated watch also attached to it. Flip it open, and it is a modern smartphone, complete with screen and dials - modern interiors housed in steampunk exteriors. A 2.2 inch OLED screen, a 3.2 MP camera and hours of talk-time are all embedded. Apologies to the geeks for the phone has no Bluetooth or OS. But then, it is not meant for them! It is a limited edition phone with only 28 pieces being made available. Weighing an impressive 245 grams, it is worth its weight in gold for a person who recognizes its beauty and value. 6. Steampunk iPhone Steampunk iPhoneRetro Concept: The iPhone Goes Steampunk at the iLounge The Apple of the steampunk world too has been busy as we see! The iPhone omega, promises to take you ‘back into the future’ with its vintage looks encapsulating modern features. Designer Karl Vanderbeek has submitted the phone for the iLounge contest and he must be wishing the captain Jack Sparrow is on the jury that decides the winner! But do not judge it completely by the looks. It has been incorporated with touchscreen technology and has the capacity to support up to 5G! Instead of putting old wine in a new bottle, this is the case of new wine being poured in an old bottle with refreshing results. Video calling camera, GPS tracking, location tracking, camera and super-fast and sensitive touchscreen, makes this the ultimate phone for any modern pirate. 7. Classic Nokia cellphone  Classic Nokia cellphoneClassic Nokia cellphone Straight out from the Industrial Revolution, this Nokia concept based phone will be a dream for many. It has screws in for the dial pad. The mechanical wheels of some vintage machine seem to adorn the phone as its selection keys and the ear phones! A classical spring winds and loops around the body acting as an ‘antenna’. Encased in metal, the phone has been beautifully finished in a pure leather covering. Turn in around and you will see that in true Victorian style, the phone is held in place by nuts and bolts! 8. John Mavrovic's phone  John Mavrovic's phoneJohn Mavrovic's steampunk phone This is rare classic beauty. It is green in color and green in character too. But in looks, it is so historic and grand! The phone has been made entirely out of what most people would term as ‘pure junk’. That’s right! Broken parts of an old typewriter, components of an old clock and a few screws and nuts have been made into the manufacturing raw materials for this steampunk phone by designer John Mavrovic. But, note that the insides are all the modern components of a modern Nokia phone! Ready for the Globus anyone?  |
Akshata Hegde:  Solar powered reverse trikeOn top of the trike a solar panel collects the sun's rays and charges the battery If you live in a country where sunlight is not an issue, making a solar reverse trike will be of great help to you. The solar powered reverse trike, will need a solar panel to charge the battery, which will drive the motor, thereby making it an eco friendly vehicle. Making this vehicle will need not be difficult as you needs parts that are simple to find. Difficulty level: The project is moderately challenging. It may require expertise in some areas. Time required: 18 to 20 days. Resources required 1. Chassis 2. Solar panel 3. 24Volts DC, 17Amp motor 4. 12Volts, 80AH battery 5. Steering mechanism 6. Chain and sprocket mechanism 7. Charging circuit 8. 4 U shaped iron sections 9. 1 Cycle chain 10. Materials: Aluminum, steel and cast iron Estimate cost: Making a solar powered reverse trike will cost you around $550. Instructions Step 1: 3D Design of the vehicle Firstly you need to make a 3D layout or the design of the vehicle. This will help you know what the end product would look like. This is a very crucial step at the same will help you during the fabrication process. It is always suggested to draw out the idea of what your end product would look like. This will help you find out if you are going the right way and help you rectify the possible errors right away. Step 2: Chassis fabrication Once you have the 3D layout ready. You can start with the fabrication of the Chassis. Use Aluminum rectangular sections of 2 inch x1 inch, 2mm thick for the main body. Make use of Argon welding to weld the rods together. The wielding process may take around 4hours to complete as per the dimensions precisely. Step 3: Bicycle rear section A rear side of bicycle, which can be easily found from a scrap shop, will be attached to the vehicle. Now get the rear section of an old bicycle that will be useful to hold the rear wheels. Later on you can use this to drive the vehicle as well. Step 4: Assembling the front and rear chassis Next you assemble the rear section from a used bicycle with the the fabricated front part of the chassis. Make use of the U-shaped bar to hold these parts together. Once done with this, attach the two angle iron bars using a shock absorber. Later on mount the wheels. Step 5: Steering mechanism This being a reverse trike, the front two tires will be used for steering. So steer the wheels by employing the T-joint mechanism. Now you can place the motor and battery. Prior to this make a small frame that can support the motor as well as the battery making use of angle irons. Step 6: Solar panel mounting This trike will have the large solar panel as the roof. To mount this solar panel you need to get a frame ready. Again wield the rods to make a frame as in your 3D layout. Once done your solar panel is ready to be mounted. The solar panels are very fragile so you need to be extra careful while installing it. Step 7: Charge controller circuit diagram Draw a diagram of the charge controller circuit. And make the circuit accordingly. One you have installed the charge controller circuit, your trike is ready to use. Frequently asked questions Q. Can you explain the specification of the trike that is the end result? A. The trike is 7 x 3.5 x 4.5 ft (2.13 x 1.06 x 1.37 meter), 132 pound (60 kg) low-rider. Q. How is this beneficial? A. This is a solar powered trike. Sun being a renewable source of energy source you won't need any external power or fuel to run this vehicle. Hence there are zero chances of air and sound pollution. Q. What would be the speed of this trike. A. The reverse trike can go up to 30kmph speed, which is the maximum. It covers a distance of maximum 70km in one full charge. Quick tips The charge controller circuit's purpose is to cut-off the supply from the solar panel as soon as the battery is charged fully. This is installed to avoid over charging. You can recharge the battery when the voltage drops off. The vehicle uses reverse configuration, which means it will have two wheels in the front and a one wheel on the rear side. Steering of the vehicle is done with assistance of front wheels. Things to watch out for The solar panel placed on the top of the vehicle charges the battery, thereby transforming the vehicle into a thrilling ride. The trike features a T-shaped aluminum framework, which is custom built at the front of the vehicle. The back part of a bicycle frame, which is placed at the rear is used to sit while riding. The reverse three-wheeler utilizes a photovoltaic roof of 40 watt that charges the dry cell solar battery of 12v/80Ah. This is an addition to the Green Technology, which makes good use of sun's energy. The lightweight trike's eco friendly ride will ensure no emission of harmful gases. Crafted in a way that will make proper use of solar power in today's traffic loaded age. All you will need is some materials which can be easily obtained and some creative effort and patience till you eco friendly bike gets ready to VROOM on the roads. Hide Site  |
Manhardeep Singh:  keyboard with integrated trackball mouseMaking keyboard with integrated trackball mouse. Difficulty level: This project is easy, which means that everyone can do it, even the first timers. Time required: The construction of the keyboard can take time between 30 minutes to 1 hour depending upon your speed and knowledge. Resources required 1. LITE-ON Black USB keyboard 2. Logitech Gray 3 Buttons + Wheel USB TrackBall TrackMan Wheel Mouse 3. SYBA 4-port mini USB hub 4. BYTECC 10ft USB extension cable (Type-A Male-Female) 5. JB Weld/epoxy/highly active adhesive 6. Small zip ties Estimate cost If we consider the prices of the material purchased, the estimate cost comes out as follows: 1. Keyboard - $ 7 2. Wheel mouse - $ 30 3. USB hub - $ 8 4. USB extension cable - $ 3 Totaling the above figures, the estimate comes out to be $ 48. Instructions Step 1: Gather the material In order to start constructing the keyboard with integrated trackball mouse, you need to first gather all the materials listed down in the ‘resources required’ section. Step 2: Pop the number pad keys off In order to integrate the trackball mouse to your keyboard you need to take the number pad’s keys off from the keyboard. You can do this by using a flat head screw driver (if you do not have that, you can use any other flat material such as a butter knife) and pry the number pad’s keys off. Step 3: Create JB weld tools and mix JB weld You do not want to use your hands to apply the highly adhesive JB weld onto the bottom of the mouse, but you have to use something. Cut the box in which your mouse has come and make stirring tools which you can use instead of your hands. You do not have to find something else to stir the JB weld, use the plastic mouse shell that came in the packaging. Step 4: Attach mouse to keyboard This is the step in which you integrate the trackball mouse into your keyboard. The keys of the number pad of the keyboard are off, so use that place to determine where exactly the mouse can fix properly. After determining the place, apply a little amount of the adhesive to the bottom of the mouse which is going to touch the keyboard. After applying the adhesive, press the mouse firmly down on the keyboard and use the adhesive to fill any gaps left between the keyboard and the mouse so that you get a stable trackball mouse integration. Step 5: Finishing up While the keyboard and mouse is drying, we can work upon their connectivity. Get the twist ties. When you twist two cables a little bit, they try to untwist, but if you zip-tie them, they would not be able to do so. Use this technique to twist the keyboard’s and mouse’s cable. Now take the USB hub and use the extension cable to connect it to your PC. Frequently asked questions 1. What if the JB weld/epoxy got applied to any where else where it was not intended to? Ans: In that case you have to act fast. Wipe off that area/surface where the adhesive got applied because once it is dried, it is a horrible mess to get off. 2. What if I kept the mouse on the keyboard where it was not intended to? Ans: No problems. Luckily, JB weld takes a while to dry, so during that period you can have a trial of the keyboard and the mouse. If something seems wrong, alter it. 3. JB weld dries very slowly, what else can I use? Ans: Instead of using JB weld, you can use epoxy or any highly active adhesive. The main objective of using an adhesive is to attach the mouse with the keyboard. 4. Do I have to buy a new keyboard to integrate the trackball mouse into it? Ans: NO, you can use your old keyboard. Quick tips 1. Before attaching the trackball mouse to the keyboard, do a dry-run before hand to make sure your mouse fits the location where you want it to be on the keyboard. 2. Use the box and the plastic shell in which the mouse has come to make the JB weld stirring tools. 3. While attaching the mouse to the keyboard, keep in mind the area of the keyboard where the bottom of the mouse is going to touch. 4. If you are using JB weld to attach the trackball mouse to the keyboard, make sure you leave it overnight to dry, to have a stronger bond. Things to watch out for 1. When you are prying the number pad’s keys off the keyboard, be careful because the keys just fly off across the room and can hit your face and injure you. 2. Make sure not to apply the highly adhesive JB weld using your hands. Otherwise, it is going to give you a hard time getting rid of it. 3. Lay down something, such as a pizza box or any old sheet or old cardboard while applying the adhesive to the bottom of your mouse to attach it to the keyboard. You would not want to get the adhesive onto any of your valuable articles. Hide Site  |
