Make

If you like to tweak, disassemble, re-create, and invent cool new uses fortechnology, you'll love MAKE our new quarterly publication for theinquisitive do-it-yourselfer. Our third issue looks at how you can turn your car into a Wi-Fi blasting, computer-controlled, GPS-enabled, biodiesel monster. Key features show how to turn a VCR into a pet feeding robot, how to make a see-through potato cannon, create a remote-controlled haunted house for Holloween, and get you the skinny on cheap welding.The third edition profiles Ed Storms, now retired, and formerly employed atthe Los Alamos National Laboratories. For more than a decade, Storms hasbeen working on low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR.) If LENRs exist and canbe harnessed, they will provide an alternative power source. Since theydon't emit chemical pollutants, they may even alleviate global warming.Visit MAKE's web site: make.oreilly.com.
