"Bullet Time" with the Chronos high-speed camera

I used the Chronos high-speed camera to create an effect similar to Bullet Time in which the camera moves instantaneously (or just very quickly in this case).

AM transmitter for antique radios and other project updates

If you restore antique AM radios, you may have noticed that there is little or no decent music available on AM broadcast. In this video, I how how to build a very simple AM transmitter that lets you play MP3 through an antique radio.

Heat-sensitive 3D paper (swell paper)

This paper has an unusual coating that swells up when heat is applied. It's normally used by printing on it with a standard inkjet or laser printer, then exposing it to a very bright light.  The dark areas absorb more energy, and become raised.  I also experiment with the material in a laser cutter.
