What’s the coolest ‘just for the joy of engineering’ project you’ve ever made, and how did you pull it off? We are asking e14 in our Join, Share & Win Competition

I have recently gotten back into making after a recovery and taking a break from posting and filming....eventually I will start to produce again but what really got me recently is a few projects I always wanted to do. 

First I enjoy getting old copies of Popular Electronics and read them from time to time.   I look at the projects and wonder how I would build them today.  my first one was the Princeps puzzle on the Arduino Uno R3 this was so much fun.

The next project recently that I really enjoyed working on was a project that I am still working on well the next 2 are anyways but this one has to be alot of fun I wanted to find out something to do with my decade box or resistor box and use it for fun so I created this bad boy its a game its a learning tool and I think I made 3 games for it once again on the arduino uno r3 I could have used newer boards I have laying around but something about the R3 just still makes me smile. I still have not printed a case for it but I might do a bit of a redesign and upgrades on it yet.

Finally one for just pure silly fun is creating a Magnetic Generator cause free energy lol.   anyways it was fun I wrote a python program for creating custom gears and all the parts I would need so I didn't have to buy anything and then just used GT2 pulley belt and joined it together but still working on it but its not always the things that work that enjoy when I create it its also the stuff that didn't work and I know this one is a bit of a reach but non less its fun and I enjoyed every second of it and still am. 

as I look on my shelf I see a bunch more but theses are the ones I am currently working on and playing with there is one more I am pretty proud of but dont have any pictures of it right now. 

wait I lied here is one but its further along than this and its pretty cool more on this one soon. 

Oh and usually I do alot of Raspberry Pi projects.....those are still happening and so much fun but I have been on an arduino kick lately. 

That being said the most of the projects I do on the community weather for myself or for a competition and so on I find I push myself to different limits when I am coming up with something to post on the community so far its worked out in my favour as I have learnt so much over the years building random projects I wouldn't have built otherwise. 

Happy Making everyone and lets see more projects!
