You don't want to split your heart between two girls? Use my dynamic image frame and get happy with both! Here's the schematic to your satisfaction: →

Say hi to the Spinster, a robot of sorts whose sole purpose in "life" is to spin aimlessly.  Intention is great, because it lets me explain what I would have done to the Spinster had I had the time →

It is now more evident then ever that our generation (and the future generations to come) our immensely obsessed and marveled with physical beauty. It is quite normal to look into a mirror and catch your →

A speaker is used for non-traditional propagation of movement. →

This device takes the notion of changing over time to a very literal level, using the hands of an analog clock as an external variable that affects the conductivity of the circuit, triggering a constantly →

This is an audio mobile made from recyclable material. It is a criticism on the effect humans have on nature. It replaces the wind of a wind chime with a motor, the bamboo (or other possibly natural material) →

This switch is an attempt at making a kitsch-art/romantic artifact. (more…) →

I made a switch that turns on the led for 1 minute every hour. I made this by connecting on side of the switch on the 12 of my clock and the other one on the minute branch. When they are in contact, the →

Here' s the schematic for the liquid switch circuit: →

Here is the schematic of the last switch described on my personal site. It uses items on my desk to close the circuit. See my personal site for pictures and a description. →

My idea was to use the zipper of my hoodie as a switch. When the zipper is open, nothing happens, but when you close the zipper it will close the circuit and power up an IR laser. The infrared laser pointer →

My switch serves as a sort of Morse code input device. Not the most innovative idea I'm sure, but it served as a good exercise for me to grasp the basics of using the breadboard + Arduino. For more →

My switch is closed when a liquid connects two paper clips mounted on each side of a drinking cup. Whenever the cup is filled to a certain level, the LED goes on indicating that the cup has been →

I implemented a switch that can be activated by the opening and closing of the zipper on a piece of clothing.  The circuit causes an LED to light whenever the zipper is in contact with its base.  →

An insulating textile will serve as a permanent connector. On its own, it will initiate the off state. When retaining its counterpart, a conductive element, it will act to close the circuit. Also, once →

The switch that I have created incorporates a shot glass and saucer wrapped in aluminum foil. When someone takes the glass off the saucer the LED light indicates that someone has taken a drink. See my →

My switch is created by using two halves of a peephole. When someone looks through the peephole, a LED lights to indicate this event to the person on the other side. This illustrates a lack of privacy →
