How To Boost Your WIFI Reception For Under 25 Cents

I have been trying to boost my WIFI reception for some time now. My wireless router is actually in the garage of my home where my office is. I like to use my desktop in my bedroom and have poor WIFI reception up there.

Not wishing to pay $50 to $100 for some gadget in the store. I found a pattern for a Parabolic Reflector that I stuck to the antenna on the desktop. Not only did I find it boosted my WIFI signal reception, I came to find 10 more WIFI connections in the neighborhood that I previously did not know existed.

In order to create the WIFI booster you will need tinfoil, stiff stock paper for your printer, a scissors, pattern and some paste. it takes about 10 minutes to make the WIFI booster.

The WIFI booster pattern is right below. Once you have printed the pattern cut out all the parts. Take the parts put ample paste on them and then cover with tinfoil shiny side facing out. Put it all together slip the center part over your antenna and your off to better WIFI reception.


Enjoy let me know how it works out for you

Shape-shifting robots Becoming Reality

Robots that use electromagnetic forces to cling together and become different shapes are being developed by US researchers.

The goal is to create swarms of microscopic robots capable of morphing into virtually any form by clinging together, such as in this video.

Seth Goldstein, who leads the project at Carnegie Mellon University, admits this is still a distant prospect.

However, his team is using simulations to develop control strategies for futuristic shape-shifting, or "claytronic", robots, which they are testing on small groups of more primitive, pocket-sized machines.

These prototype robots use electromagnetic forces to maneuver themselves, communicate, and even share power.

This is a pretty interesting new emerging technology with many future uses. I'm sure that the newest high tech devices in the future will use a lot of this. Turn your car into a outdoor picnic table and kitchen, change it into a small cabana for the beach how about turning it into a small room to spend the night while on the road. Pretty cool stuff for your newest high tech dreams if your into micro robotics.

Pull Over Or Get Fried By Microwaves

Microwave Beams Stop Cars Dead.

The idea of an invisible energy beam that shoots from a police car, hits a vehicle of fleeing criminals and stops it is now a reality.

Eureka Aerospace managed to find a way to use microwave energy and direct it to a moving target, disrupt the electronic impulses of the cars electronic control unit (ECU) and in some cases even frying the circuits. Stopping a car dead, putting a end those long famous highway chases California is known for.

The electronics in the vehicle are not disrupted by heat, as with the typical home microwave for cooking. The magnified beam of 300 MHz, with so-called "vulnerable" frequencies that disrupt ignition and other functions. The beam is focused enough to pass any collateral damage to vehicles or any type of electronics, without harming people.

I can think of a lot of uses for this technology that would help stop a lot of crime.

Sorry We Did Not Mean To Blow Your House Up!

A homeowner in Russia got a fun surprise, when the Russian military accidentally fired a missile into his house.

Russia's military offered payment to him on Thursday, after the missile went off course during a training exercise. The fact that is was described as a 'small rocket' is a relief to the man.

The Russian chatrooms were sizzling late Wednesday night after local agencies reported that 'an UFO dropped two bombs near Moscow.'

A defense ministry official told Reuters two rockets had gone astray during a military exercise near Moscow on Wednesday afternoon. One hit the roof of an house 2.2 miles away.

'The damage is estimated at 60,000 rubles (2,400 USD). It will be compensated for in two days,' said Yevgeny Konashenkov, spokesman for Russian ground troops.

'The owner of the house treats the incident with understanding. Of course he has no legal claims.'

Luckily for the nearby village of cottage houses, the rockets had disconnected at launch from the load of explosives which they normally carry to clear minefields. Which will come as a comfort to all the home owners, we're sure.
