Engineer Ivan Kuleshov was tired of waiting for the Apple Magic Mouse to get a USB-C upgrade, so he took matters into his own hands and created this nifty mod. The problem with the Magic Mouse is that the Lightning port to charge the device is on the bottom, which means it cannot be used while doing so.

To fix this, Ivan 3D-printed a custom enclosure and then added a USB-C port connected to a TP4056-based charging module that is soldered directly to the battery’s terminals. If you’re technically inclined, get the instructions here at no cost. For something more luxurious, you’ll want to check out the 24K gold Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition.

Princeton University’s Big Bird Electric Boat Hits 114.20MPH, Becomes World’s Fastest

Princeton University’s Big Bird Electric Boat Hits 114.20MPH, Becomes World’s Fastest

Princeton Big Bird Electric Boat Speed Record Fastest
Princeton University’s Big Bird electric boat hit an average speed of 114.20mph during its latest attempt, become the world’s fastest. The boat was originally designed to house a 700cc or 1100cc outboard motor, but instead comes equipped with a three-phase AC permanent magnet motor, powered by a 400-volt battery pack.



The 400-volt battery pack has an energy capacity of 24 kWh and helps the 975-pound electric boat generate in excess of 200 horsepower. Big Bird was piloted by John Peeters, a 60-time world and national record-holder hydroplane driver, on Lake Townsend near Greensboro, North Carolina.

Functional Palm-Sized Hydraulic Jack is World’s Smallest

Functional Palm-Sized Hydraulic Jack is World’s Smallest

Palm-Sized Hydraulic Jack World's Smallest
Just like the microscopic NERF gun, this palm-sized hydraulic jack is more for show rather than practicality. It’s touted as the world’s smallest hydraulic jack and we don’t doubt the claim at all, especially since the tiny machine was able to lift a stack of Pepsi soda cans.

Hydraulic jacks typically work by compressing hydraulic fluid into the cylinder of the jack via a pump plunger. When this pump plunger is pulled back, the fluid is drawn from the reservoir into the pump chamber, enabling the hydraulic fluid to be pushed back into the cylinder when the plunger moves forward. Scientifically speaking, this hydraulic jack, along with all of the others, work on Pascal’s law that the pressure in closed container is the same at all points.

NVIDIA Jetson AI-Powered Sunswift 7 is World’s Fastest Solar Electric Car Over 1000km

UNSW Sydney’s Sunswift 7 is currently the world’s fastest solar electric car over 1000km and NVIDIA Jetson AI helps give it an edge across its 100 automotive monitoring / power management systems. It recently won the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge (Cruiser Class) from Darwin to Adelaide.



NVIDIA Jetson AI can also determine whether it should drive faster or slower based on weather forecasts. For example, Sunswift 7 will alert the driver to go faster if rain is expected later in the day when conditions would force the car to slow down. The team built nearly 60 design iterations to improve the vehicle’s aerodynamics, using computational fluid dynamics modeling and simulations to analyze each version.

It’s a completely different proposition to say we can use the least amount of energy and arrive in Adelaide before anybody else, but crossing the line first is just about bragging rights. Every single team member needs to understand what they’re doing and what their role is on the team and perform at the very best during those five-and-a-half days,” said Richard Hopkins, project manager at Sunswift and a UNSW professor.
