Sizzling Feed meantime shared a video of a toddler getting aware of how a Sliding Door works – for the first time.

“Children–especially toddlers–are still in the crucial period of discovering new things that is why they are always curious and fussy about their surroundings. Since they are still exploring, they find it hard to stay put in one place without straying to another for too long. This can make them annoying but also interesting at the same time. Have you ever seen a toddler who was fascinated upon discovering the existence of automatic sliding doors? If he was an adult, this video wouldn’t have been interesting at all, in fact it may appear awkward, but this toddler’s priceless reaction will surely make your day. This will prove that simple things can be amazing in the eyes of children. If you’re curious about his reaction, just think about Christopher Columbus’ impression after discovering America.”

DIY Wind Power

Do-it-Yourself Wind Power Generator

Homemade Power Generators Using Energy from the Wind. (Photo Credits)

Harnessing wind power does not necessarily have to come from Turbine, and it does not have to be in large amounts. In fact you can use wind power through a DIY apparatus, which can harness just enough energy for everyday electric-powered devices like a mobile phone charger. Builders and Contractors

Inhabitat.com in fact featured this wind-powered charger that is designed to be installed in a bicycle.

“A clever 16-year-old named Thomas combined his two passions, cycling and electronics, into one very useful DIY gadget. Using a tired CPU fan, an old phone battery, a bunch of electronic pieces and some simple tools, he came up with a brilliant $5 cell phone bike charger to power his phone while riding a bike. With some basic electronic knowledge and a few bits and bobs, you can make your own to make sure you will never end up with a dead phone while on the road.”

Check out the charger here.

Wind-Powered Mobile Device Charger

Interesting Engineering featured the same invention. Electricians  

“The base component of this device is an old CPU fan which can be obtained at little or no cost. This fan works as a wind turbine that converts the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy. It also uses other components you can recycle from old computers. Thomas’ device can generate up to 4V and 60 mA, but as this alone is insufficient to charge a conventional lithium battery, the AC current is converted to DC to charge up the battery via a Joule Thief circuit, which gives enough voltage boost for the build in Lithium ion battery.”

The Beauty of Neon Lights

Fun Neon Lights

Happiness in Neon. (Photo Credits)

Neon lights evoke some kind of happiness and liveliness to the evening sky. Imagine a place without neon signs and automatically you may think of the term “sadness,” and could even describe the term as “ghost town” if there is not much foot traffic. Builders and Contractors

PBS.Org says Neon signs that are made of neon lights are already a dying art.” We’ve seen them glowing on New York City theater billboards, Las Vegas casinos and Hong Kong high-rises. They cast unbidden light and shadow into restaurants and homes and are a part of the daily scenery for millions. But neon signs, once a vital part of a city’s culture and barometer for its economic climate, are fading out of sight as the once-popular technology disappears from the streets. An online exhibition tells the story of neon’s history, which began purely by accident.”

You can do it yourself

It does not actually need to fall into extinction, because you can definitely do one on your own. Electricians

I Spy DIY in fact shared how to do a DIY Neon Letter Sign.” I chatted a bit about how I have been wanting a neon light FOREVER, but I never made the purchase because of the price tag. Now, I can make a million for a fraction of the price! It’s a simple as adhearing battery powered neon tubing to wire (thanks Shrimp Salad Circus for your tutorial which led me to this magical lighting). I have to admit, I was so excited when first I got the supplies, I started bending the wire into the first word that popped into my head! I already have more ordered to take on more complicated phrases. But “Hello” is a great word to practice on because is it mostly loops. My fave thing is that it looks as cool during the day, as it does lit up at night!”

And if you really love neon lights, you might as well get this new phone charger from Microsoft as featured over at The Verge.

“This thing defines flashy. Drop a Lumia smartphone onto the plastic pad, and a ring of light instantly illuminates your desk, nightstand, or whatever it might be resting on. And it’s incredibly bright, though you can thankfully choose between three brightness settings if the charger proves an unwelcome distraction to your coworkers. At night, you can also set the light to shut off completely so you can actually get some sleep instead of being kept awake by the intense neon glow.”

All about Door Draft Stoppers

You can make your own. (Photo Credits)

Doors do not only serve as protection from intruders, they only serve us one of our first lines of defense against bad weather.

The draft outside for instance cannot fully get in the house once doors are closed. However the small gap or crack between the door and the floor can be an opening where draft can get in.

But you do not have to buy for an expensive tool to ensure that draft cannot get inside your doors.

Homestead Bloggers Network featured an instructional guide on how to make your own draft stopper.

“Anyway, the house we live in now is nice and small (the way I like it – less work), and is pretty well insulated. Our bedroom, however, is built above the back porch and gets colder. The closets are NOT insulated because all the cold air seems to be coming from there. Until we can get that fixed, I decided a DIY project was in order.”

Read the step-by-step instructions here.

Another way to make one

Locksmith near me Singapore  A brown house also featured yet another way to make this DIY project for your home. “A draft stopper, or a draft snake as we called it growing up, is a quick and easy fix for stopping cold air from coming in through door cracks. Using a Door Draft Stopper or a Draft Snake is a great way to lower your heating bill and make sure your home is energy efficient. It just so happens that a door draft stopper is also a very easy DIY sewing project. With some scrap fabric and fifteen minutes, you can stop drafts in your house, too.”

Check out the instructional guide here.

Knowledge Weighs Nothing also offered yet another way to do this DIY Door Draft Stopper Project.

“These DIY posts have been really popular, so here’s another one to help you keep a little warmer… Below is an excellent tutorial showing how to make your own door snakes/draft stoppers. These door snakes are an excellent way to reduce the draft and cold which can come in through the gap at the bottom of your doors.
