Eating is a basic daily activity, but for people with mobility challenges, it can be difficult to feed themselves. To help with this, a team of researchers came up with the Kiri-Spoon, a special 3D-printed spoon made from a flexible, paper-thin plastic sheet. When in use, the spoon expands into a small bowl that secures food inside. This simple yet clever design…
A YouTuber has shared a tutorial on building an FPV (First-Person View) aircraft designed for high-speed flights exceeding 220 km/h (138 mph). This RC plane features a foam board construction with swept wings, inspired by legendary aviation designs like the Bell L39 AAC Cobra and P-51R Mustang (Miss Ashley 2).
The airframe is built…
Vishay Intertechnology has launched the MCB RAIK060, a high-precision inductive position sensor designed for industrial and AMS (automotive, marine, and aerospace) applications. This sensor is thinner, lighter, and faster than traditional magnetic-based solutions, making it a great fit for applications working in demanding environments.
