Nice CNC build for cutting out of foam
gives me some ideas for converting old 3D printers that have seen better days. Something to think about anyways. https://makezine.com/article/digital-fabrication/building-a-four-axis-foam-cutter-from-hardware-store-parts/

Simple wind power
I got a kick out of this, basically the author just took a treadmill motor and blades from a fan and made simple wind power device. https://hackaday.com/2021/04/07/the-simplest-wind-turbine-is-the-most-satisfying/

Leaf blower dust collector
Ok this is a clever build, using many cheap and easy to get parts to make a dust collector and seems to work out. https://www.instructables.com/Dust-Collector-Made-From-a-Leaf-Vacuum/

Cool knitting machine
It only makes a french braid. But still pretty clever build. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/french-knitting-machine-video-94850?homelistings#post217012

Some power saving projects
A couple times of the year I look at power projects to generate my own electricity. Hasn’t happened yet, I do like this one with arduino to control charge and windpower ( https://www.hackster.io/news/the-best-diy-renewable-energy-projects-on-hackster-e70d36bc05af

A python compiler
This looks interesting, it’s a native compiler for python. I do like writing code in python, but its slow to run compared to C/C++. Not sure how good this is yet thought. https://github.com/Omyyyy/pycom

Add a kill count to a flyswatter
I got a kick out of this one, the author added a kill count to a electric fly swatter to get a count of how many bugs he got. This project uses an arduino under the hood. https://www.instructables.com/Ultimate-Mosquito-Swatter-Mod-for-Gamer-Add-Kill-C/ https://youtu.be/_ZuR5MYr-M4

Interesting app for physics lessons
Its called phyhox, seems like a neat app that uses the sensors on the phone for experiments.
