So what is a sous vide immersion cooker? It is a machine that slow-cooks food in a vacuum sealed bag, in a water bath at a precise temperature. Home versions of these cookers are still couple of hundred pounds, this make guide shows how you can make on for around $75.
You will sill need a vacuum food sealer, but you can cook an egg just in it’s shell. You can go read up on this project, over on make site: Sous Vide Immersion Cooker
Ok, so a new year and a new plan! Rather than just thinking about bloging more, I’m going to start now. The aim is to post on this blog once a week for all of 2011, and this is the first one!
I know it won’t be easy, but it might be fun, inspiring, awesome and wonderful, therefore I’m going to make use of The DailyPost.
If you already read my blog, I hope you’ll encourage me with comments and likes, and good will along the way.
Well I knew it had been a while since my last post, but was not expecting it to have been 11 months!
So for a few updates; firstly, the vivarium project is on hold, at a new place and not enough room for it.
And here couple of videos I came across recently:
Here is a video from Graeme Taylor, shot out the window of a train at 210 frames per second. Rather than filming from a stationary spot and slowing down the moving object, he filmed from the moving object creating. Creating an interesting appearance that the world has almost stopped in time.
This one is a science one; from Bang Goes the Theory. Filmed at the Solar Furnace Research Facility in Southern France, get to see the sun melting a rock!
Well firstly this is not to do with Terminator! There are two parts to this, the first being a set of legs, these can help people with disabilities to walk, and also to help in rehabilitation.
Then there is the suit, again this can be used for the above, but also in factories, disaster response. This is due to the fact the suit can enable you to carry more weight that physically possible. The suit work by having electrical sensors on your body, these then pick up the electrical signals sent through your nervous system. These signals are then transformed into the correct movement by the suit.
These are meant to be in production, and come with a $4,200 price tag.
