Have you ever heard of a walking machine made from bent wires and run by a single 1.5V AA battery wherein the motor and battery can rotate with crank? Hackolog member brought this amazing concept, where you can build your own walking machine just by using fewer components. You can start by connecting the motor to the crank to which the wheels are fitted. Now when the wheels meet an obstruction the motor starts driving the crank round, the spinning eccentric weight of the motor causes the robot to jump up and down and the foot oscillates. To get an idea how the machine looks like, you can refer to the pic below:

Makezine in its blog reported that Yoonjo Choi has modernized her old typewriter by adding force sensors and monitor connectivity, so that her old photographs can now be flipped quickly through projection. The way in which her old photo displays on the monitor possesses a magical effect. The project draws attention to the photos in a way that a digital slideshow or picture frame cannot. The most amazing feature is that you can only see the photo when you type at a certain rate. For example, if you type less than five letters within ten seconds you will only get a vague outline of the photo. If you type more than five and less than ten letters it gets a bit more crisp, and so forth. Watch out this video to know more about this hacked Typewriter:
