Book Description:
This book teaches practical, hands-on experience with some exciting science projects that you aren't likely to
encounter elsewhere. The ultrasonic listener extends the sense of hearing to the realm of sounds above 20kHz.
The low-power one-transistor fm radio transmitter is a useful tool to have in your bag of tricks; it can be built on an hour's notice, and for under $1.
It is an educational and worthwhile book.
That's the good news.
Now for a word of caution:
What I'm suggesting here is that you approach the projects in this great book with wisdom and an ability to think vigorously and persistently.
On one hand, If you mangage to complete and operate all this book's projects, including adjustment of the high-voltage supply of the cutting CO2 laser, and still have not qualified for a postumous Darwin Award, then you have demonstrated you are either a bizzarrely lucky fool or a master technician who has the iron will to stay alive by sticking to impeccable safety procedures.
And before you make your own homemade EMP generator, consider that, at the time Mr. Ianinni wrote this wonderous book, the electronic landscape was much less involved, without the so many co$tly thing$ like cell phone$ and PDA$ in it. The radius of de$truction could lead irate villagers (now reduced to a technological level of torches and pitchforks) directly to your laboratory.
At least one of the devices i.e taser, have gotten negative legislative attention since the book was first published.
