Synchronising Binoculars & Telescopes for Shared Viewing

April 26, 2013 by Brian

I’ve often found myself in the following situation, for example when bird watching. I see something interesting, maybe a kingfisher under a tree some distance away, I use my binoculars to get a closer look then try to explain its location to my friend so he can look too, with ‘his’ binoculars.

The problem is that by the time I’ve managed to explain its location with lots of pointing and gesturing – “Its near that brown tree, the one with green leaves…” ;-) it’s often too late and the object (kingfisher in this case) has disappeared Read more . . .

Snooker Rest – Spider Bridge Hand Extensions for Awkward Cueing Situations

August 1, 2012 by Brian85 Comments

A snooker player’s bridge hand has limits and when these are reached, some form of artificial bridge/rest/spider is required to extend the player’s range, elevation or angle in order to continue with the shot. The problem with these artificial bridges/rests is that they take the player away from close contact with the cue ball and a fair amount of ‘touch’ or control can be lost due to the distance i.e. the length (and weight) of the rest/spider handle.

My idea to help overcome the loss of control caused by the use of rests is to simply remove the ‘business end’ of rests and provide them as an attachment/glove that can be used/worn directly on the player’s bridge hand. Read more . . .

Portable Hydroelectricity Generator for Remote Areas – Made from Recycled Parts

July 18, 2012 by Brian4 Comments

I’ve always been very interested in electricity generation, since my experiments with wind, wave, clockwork (wind-up), chemical and water power when I was a child. I always imagined how useful it would be to have a renewable but relatively portable power source which could be constructed and used locally in remote areas of the world, where people live in, or are bordering on poverty. Where resources such as fuel are hard to come by.

Since everyday perpetual motion doesn’t exist (yet), any locally based power source would have to be practical and must be capable of being recharged fairly easily. It would also need to be easily transportable, with the potential to be built using locally available, recycled parts. Read more . . .

100 Zone Wireless Site and Perimeter Security System – Ideal for Elephants and Rhinos!

July 12, 2012 by Brian

To provide security for a large site with a high number of valuable assets distributed throughout the site. To be able to monitor everything from equipment & materials, to gates and electric animal fences.

Ideally to come up with a system that can be deployed rather than installed i.e. no hard wiring, no special skills or equipment required and no training.

Finally, the system should be easy to pick up and move to another site, and within any given site, the sensors/transmitters should be easy to pick up and move to different locations around the site, as the need arises. Read more . . .

Remote Site Alarm and Environmental Monitoring System – Protect Your Fish!

July 8, 2012 by Brian14 Comments

To be able to remotely monitor the security and status of a wide range of items and conditions on any site, anywhere in the country (or in any country for that matter).

The security monitoring requirement is for the remote protection of on-site machinery and equipment, for example on building sites, roadworks and farms etc. The environmental monitoring requirement is for the protection of buildings, land, crops and animals (including fish – think ‘koi carp’ for example) etc.

The two key design goals were to produce a product/system which would work under its own power, independent of mains power for long periods of time; and also for the product/system to be wireless to allow for quick and easy remote placement. Read more . . .
