Gadget Freak features cool, homemade electronic gadgets proudly brought to us--by you!
Complete with build instructions for the design engineer who likes the silly side of inventing things and enjoys building stuff in his and her spare time, these gadgets range from highly silly and impractical to extraordinarily inspirational for your own engineering design work.
The most read Gadget Freak entries for the month of August was a mixed bag, ranging from an inventor's home-made electric go-kart, through to a handy gadget that makes night reading a lot easier, along with a martini mixer still going strong after its debut in Gadget Freak more than one month ago.
Loyal Gadget Freak readers may remember we recently took part in a charity blogathon, which in total raised £2,200 for aid organisation RE Cares.
Thanks to our wonderful readers, Gadget Freak received an award for the biggest increase in traffic, with a staggering 98.8 per cent increase in the number of page views, compared to the same period the week before.
We would like to thank our audience for making this number possible and hope to feature many unique and fascinating Gadget Freaks for a very long time to come.
Which gadgets proved to the most popular, the most inspirational, the most talked about? The definitive list of this year’s most popular entries in the award-winning Gadget Freak blog was chosen by you – the readers.
Without further ado, it’s our pleasure to present the Top 10 Gadget Freaks of 2007.
Looking at the most popular Gadget Freaks this month, we realised there must have been a Star Wars convention this month we didn’t hear about, because the most popular entry was the remarkable LED lightsaber. May the force be with you.
Closely following behind was the rotating LED display gadget, and Andrew’s headphone amp snapping at the LED gadget’s heels.
Without further ado, may we present the 10 most popular Gadget Freaks for March. Enjoy.
A special Gadget Freak feature highlighting the best of LED designs led the way for the most popular entries for the month of April. Neuroti-Kart, the home-made electric go-kart – which is an oldie but a goodie – came a respectable second, still drawing in the crowds months after it made its debut on Gadget Freak.
Coming in first this month was the Gadget Freak special featuring 7 designs that will make any house a safe and happy home.
Alberto Ricci Bitti's award-winning design, the WitnessCam, came in a close second, providing a cheaper and more practical alternative to off-the-shelf surveillance systems.
Rounding out the top three was the super flashlight, when the humble family torch just isn't enough.
Here are the 10 most popular Gadget Freaks for May.
Coming soon: keep an eye out for the 10 Most Popular Gadget Freaks ever!
