Make: Technology on Your Time Volume 09: technology on your time

by Mark Frauenfelder (Editor)

If you like to tweak, disassemble, re-create, and invent cool new uses for technology, you'll love MAKE our quarterly publication for the inquisitive do-it-yourselfer. Every issue is packed with projects to help you make the most of all the technology in your life. If there's a way to hack it, tweak it, bend it, or remix it, you will find out about it in MAKE.

MAKE magazine leaves no stone unturned in its quest for the bizarre in Volume 09, the Fringe issue. Behold such wonders as the cosmic ray cloud chamber, high-voltage levitation, and the amazing vortex tube. Plus, learn how to make almost anything with carbon fiber, photograph the luminous auras around everything, and build a $5 guitar amp. Explore the fringes of technology with projects and articles that push the boundaries of physics and reason.
