A <a href="http://sxm4.uni-muenster.de/stm-en/" target="_blank">scanning tunneling microscope</a> allows the person to view objects at the molecular and atomic levels. This is a must do project if you have any interest in nanoscience and nanotechnology.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5832/745/1600/STM7front1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5832/745/200/STM7front.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> Probably the most complicated procedure in building this project is creating the tips, which will require access to some acids.<br /><br /><a href="http://sxm4.uni-muenster.de/stm-en/" target="_blank">The site</a> has a complete parts list and they also sell a construction kit for about 1000 euros. I don't know how recently this site was updated, you will have to contact them to find out more.<br /><br />This is definitely a project that I plan to build some time in the future.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14585955-112217151850742934?l=diygeeks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>brazen misfithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13854009464482157080noreply@blogger.com28tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14585955.post-1121678752120681952005-07-18T02:19:00.000-07:002005-07-29T01:04:10.316-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5832/745/1600/shock2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5832/745/320/shock2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Have you ever wished that you could get those cool blue and red anodized parts that are all the rage in engine bays, but for, say, your computer. Well now you can and it can be a cool geek project too. <a href="http://www.focuser.com/atm/anodize/anodize99.html" target="_blank">This site</a> shows you how, plus they sell kits with the chemicals needed, if you can't source them yourself, as well as instruction books.<br /><br />This is the way to really up the cool factor on all of those projects that you have been working on. I just love how the shocks in the picture look. These guys even tell you how to do multi color anodizing. This site is most definitely diy cool.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14585955-112167875212068195?l=diygeeks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>brazen misfithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13854009464482157080noreply@blogger.com50tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14585955.post-1121677435667571732005-07-17T01:56:00.000-07:002005-07-29T01:04:30.996-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5832/745/1600/humidor0013.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5832/745/320/humidor0013.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>While surfing one day I came upon a site where people post the most outrageous cases that I have seen.

Hacking together cool items and coming up with ideas for projects is a passion of mine. In this blog I intend to post links to cool projects that I find online, as well as posting some of my own projects as I create them.<br /><br />I hope that you enjoy the projects that I post and that they help to inspire others to join the diy geek club.<br /><br />Yours,<br />Brazen Misfit<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14585955-112167659547553340?l=diygeeks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>brazen misfithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13854009464482157080noreply@blogger.com1
