MAKE

If you like to tweak, disassemble, re-create, and invent cool new uses for technology, you'll love "Make", our new quarterly publication for the inquisitive 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 at the Los Alamos National Laboratories. For more than a decade, Storms has been working on low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR). If LENRs exist and can be harnessed, they will provide an alternative power source. Since they don't emit chemical pollutants, they may even alleviate global warming.
