Fulgurator
The Fulgurator
A brilliant project by Julius von Bismarck (I know it has been around for a few years now).

Jdog Testing video
Early testing of the Jdog system
Demo of air (well almost) and ground targets.
Jdog is reading PWM output from the standard RC receiver, so is fully remote control.
Range of the jdog is not very impressive yet, but that is an easy problem to solve with a bit more power and some lenses.

Arduino Frequency Generation
Probably a useful read for anyone trying to accurately generate frequencies in the kHz range using an arduino.
I need to accurately produce 38kHz signals for IR communication projects.
Not all pins give the same frequency output for the same code.
Results in brief: avoid PWM pins if you are not actually using the PWM feature.
In my code instructions took about 4microseconds per half wave form cycle.
Full results after break:

Super Secret Agent Laser..........
Inspired by the awesome Big Bang Theory.
All you need is:
Green laser
Arduino
Small photovoltaic cell (solar panel) attached to an arduino analogue input.
Peizo buzzer - arduino digital out
Small mirror tiles bluetacked all around the room
Spray smoke (try maplin)
Battery to power your arduino

Talcapult: Introduction
Why/What?
In brief: A cheap way of making things look like they have just exploded.
Aim: Cheap, safe, more flexible alternative to pyrotechnic systems (not that I don't love blowing stuff up, I just can't afford to most of the time).
How it works: It catapults talcum powder into the air which quickly disperses and looks like a mini mushroom cloud.
This project is a spin off of the RC DogFight project.
The talcapult is placed on the ground and reacts to IR. When it detects a hit either from a Duino Tagger or a RC plane mounted IR tagger system it will launch talcum powder into the air giving a mini mushroom cloud.
Multiple units could be controlled by a single arduino.
The project will allow for a much more interesting laser tag / duino tag / RC dogfight game: Adding visually impressive "explosions" to the games.
Imagine your JDog equipped RC plane swooping in on a few model tanks, picking a target and shooting, then seeing the explosive cloud billow up as you shoot it.
