Being able to know the day of the week for any particular date is a handy ability. In our times, a cellphone or computer can answer the question in seconds, but it is more handy to just know. Above all, being able to do it is impressive, ... http://www.eccentricgenius.com/wp/2008/10/29/any-day-of-the-week-the-perpetual-calendar-made-easy/ UNDER CONSTRUCTION... Recently, Nate True of Cre.ations.net posted a very nice project involving some water, some electronics to provide the illusion of time distortion. (Time fountain) I have been long since interested in high-speed photography. Many years ago I built a very simple device using some aluminium foil, an air rifle, a ... http://www.eccentricgenius.com/wp/2006/08/10/stopping-time-visually/ or how I learned to control humans with electricity The effects of Galvanic Vestibular stimulation have been known for quite a while. But it was not until recent years that the phenomenon has picked up quite some interest in the scientific community and the public eye. I read the papers, saw some ... http://www.eccentricgenius.com/wp/2006/05/17/bipolar-binaural-galvanic-vestibular-stimulation/ I finished the EMF and the Electric Charge sensors of my tri-field meter. I am still missing the Magnetic Field sensor, but that will have to wait until I have some time to test the Hall Effect sensors and figure out which one is more useful. At this point the meter ... http://www.eccentricgenius.com/wp/2006/02/17/tri-field-meter/ Building a 35mm DOF adapter The task of making a usable 35mm DOF adapter is simple yet contrived. The actual crafting offers little challenge, it is the design and the selection of appropriate components that makes it both interesting and complex. After reading all I could find on this topic I realised ... http://www.eccentricgenius.com/wp/2006/01/31/35mm-adapter/ [pmath size=14]DOF = (D_f - D_n)[/pmath] One of the important visual differences between something shot on video and something shot on film is the different depth-of-field (DOF). A film camera lens focuses onto an image of 35mm square (the size of the film frame), while a prosumer camcorder will focus to ... http://www.eccentricgenius.com/wp/2006/01/31/shallow-depth-of-field-on-video/
