DIY Hippie furniture, cardboard carseat
Greg writes - "OK, so I'm slow, but I can't get over the inventiveness and brilliance of Hennessey and Papanek's "Nomadic Furniture" books and Mario Dal Fabbro's "How To Make Children's Furniture & Playground Equipment." Entertainment Pods with quadrophonic speakers in the corners... the totally tubular H.U.D.D.L.E kids' furniture... Not that I'd actually put my kid in a cardboard car seat, mind you, but I might try building it just for fun...The books are long out of print." - Link & Flickr photo set.

41 LED Flasher circuit using 555 IC
Supes writes - "I made this as a quick project I made to use a lot of the LEDs I recently got. It basically connects via a 555 8 pin IC and allows for adjusting the time between the flashings by changing the resistor or capacitor values. It provides for a cool looking effect in a dark room. Use your favorite color LEDs and enjoy!" - Link.

PlayPumps - Kid powered merry-go-round water pumps
These merry-go-rounds use kid power to pump water in developing countries, so far 700 PlayPumps have been installed in South Africa - "While children have fun spinning on the PlayPump (1), clean water is pumped (2) from underground (3) into a 2,500-liter tank (4), standing seven meters above the ground. A simple tap (5) makes it easy for women and children to draw water. Excess water is diverted from the storage tank back down into the borehole (6). The water storage tank (7) provides a rare opportunity to advertise in rural communities. All four sides of the tank are leased as billboards, with two sides for consumer advertising and the other two sides for health and educational messages. The revenue generated by this unique model pays for pump maintenance. The design of the PlayPump makes it highly effective, easy to operate and very economical, keeping costs and maintenance to an absolute minimum. Capable of producing up to 1,400 liters of water per hour at 16 rpm from a depth of 40 meters, it is effective up to a depth of 100 meters. " [via] - Link. & how it works.

Made: Tape Wallet
Check out the wallet that Alfons made! No-one is going to be reading the RFID information on his credit cards!
I saw the video about making a wallet from tape on the makezine site, and I thought: well why don't I make one myself. And that's what I did. Only didn't I use gaffer tape, but aluminum tape, because that's the only tape I had around...
Rick020200 made his wallet using packing tape. Show me the money!

World's most dangerous digital clock - POV combat robot
MadOverlord writes - "Noticed you had a link to the BrightSaber POV in combat robot project. Just wanted to give you a heads up that as of this morning, not only do I have scrolling and RPM displays working, but it's now embedded in the actual waterjet-cut demonstration blade. The final setup will have two POV devices in different colors, one displaying text, the other background images and animation. And it will display the time, making it arguably the world's most dangerous digital clock. Also note that all the software and hardware design files for the project are available for people to build upon." - Link.
