The book is for everyone who likes to tinker in their home workshop
In Section 1: Ideas and Approaches, the author looks at how you can
develop new projects and inventions. How to think laterally, how to
get advice, and when you should stop theorising and start testing
In Section 2: Projects you can build, there is everything from a
solar-heated cat or dog kennel - to a jet-powered scooter From a
simple and very cheap seismograph that's sensitive enough to detect
people walking up to your front door, to how you can build speakers
into the walls and floor of your house. If you'd like to make an
electric bike, you can see in detail how such a bike was achieved
at home. There's also cutting-edge technology (including developing
tuned-mass dampers to reduce driving light vibration); a very
sophisticated, fully suspended pedal-powered recumbent trike; and
an aerodynamic electric car. You'd like to make a drill press or
lathe tacho? - that's covered as well. In fact, there are 19
different projects Finally, want to know how can you get a whole
lot of useful parts for nothing? In Section 3: Salvaging Parts, the
author looks at the good bits you can find for nothing in discarded
photocopiers, microwave ovens, cordless drills and air
conditioners. The Inventors and Amateur Engineers Sourcebook has
hours of entertainment packed into its pages. Browse it for an
interesting read - or take it out to the home workshop and start
putting the ideas straight into action
