DIY Techno-hacksOld hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.
Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?
Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

It probably will be a negligible wattage,but I'm too intrigued to care (partly because I'd be tempted to make one myself). Keep us updated on this one!
And have a click for your efforts.

Quite possibly,although from having a quick google on the matter, it seems that I'm not the first by a long shot to do this.
Some people are reporting well over 100 watts with similar motors - I'm not so sure I'll be getting anything like that, but then most of the motors they are using are stepper motors. I have one, but am not using that one to start with.
