Electronic Gadgets for the Evil Genius

Robert Iannini

_______________________________________________________________________________

Introduction

* Everything the hobbyist needs to build more than 21 inexpensive "evil genius" electronic devices

* Each chatper contains a detailed list of materials, sources for obtaining parts, schematics, documentation, and instructions for assembly

* Projects include an ultrasonic microphone, body heat detector, lightning bolt generator, infrared viewer, and a Star Wars light saber

Key features

Each chapter contains detailed list of materials, sources for obtaining parts, schematics, documentation, and clear instructions for electronic assembly of each project

Projects contain a briefing on mathematical theory, along with a simple explanation of operation

Includes explanations of various methods of acceleration, power conditioning, energy source, magnetism, and electro-kinetics

Proven audience -- the author's company sells nearly 7,000 of just the plans for these projects every year, at an average cost of $15. This number doesn't even include 4 of the newest projects. Surely a book with ALL of the projects with explanations would be a welcome addition to the buyers' libraries.

Perfect hobbyist book -- the projects are inexpensive, yet truly make an impression on the serious electronics tinkerer and the mechanical hobbyist
