A 3D-Printed Launcher That Shoots Around Corners A 3D-Printed Launcher That Shoots Around Corners

In a recent project released the thisismax Youtube channel explores how the Magnus effect can be used to steer projectiles in the air using a custom-built, 3D-printed ball launcher. Inspired by DARPA’s EXACTO project, which developed guided bullets that could change direction mid-flight, this experiment takes a much simpler approach. Instead of complex electronics, it relies on BLDC drone…

Octopus VI Curve Tracer Circuit Identifying Components Using Octopus VI Curve Tracer

As you know there are a ton of component testers in the market. Which can be used to test and identify the components very easily. But there is an interesting new device from the maker named Chris, aka "DIY Guy Chris", called the “octopus”.  The "octopus" is a VI curve tracer, which can be used with an oscilloscope to quickly test unidentified electronic…

Simple Curve Tracer Circuit Simple Curve Tracer Circuit: Tracing the Curve for Resistor, Diode and Transistor

Most of electronics deals with Tracing Curves, be it the characteristic transfer curve for a feedback loop, a resistor’s straight VI line or a transistor’s collector voltage versus current curve.

These curves give us an intuitive understanding of how a device behaves in a circuit. An analytical approach might involve plugging in discrete…
