👥 We all know someone who dominates every conversation. When you can't get a word in, it can be frustrating. 😤 But how to handle these situations?🎉 Enter the Babble BLASTER! Created by students at the University of Stuttgart, this Arduino-powered device listens to conversations and, when someone talks too much, it reminds them to stop. If the verbal warning isn’t enough, a spray of water will do the trick! 💦The Babble BLASTER is housed in a 3D-printed case with googly eyes to reduce the likelihood of violent reactions. Inside, an Arduino UNO and acoustic sensors identify the chatterbox. A stepper motor rotates a PVC tube connected to a mini pump that sprays water while a sassy message is played.🚿 The technology is simple yet effective, guaranteeing hilarious results. Project details, including 3D models, Arduino codePro, and schematics, are available for anyone who wants to build one Project in the first comment. 🛠️

Hey ,Here's where, if selected, you will showcase your prototypes at . The is the Gazometro of Rome, also known as the “industrial Colosseum,” was the great energy reservoir of the Capital: an icon of the Ostiense district, a giant cylindrical iron structure built in 1935 to supply gas to the entire city. A marvel of 20th-century technology that, for science fiction enthusiasts, might resemble an Asimov novel. However, history dictates that change is necessary to avoid demise, and indeed the Gazometro has never died. It has been transformed into an open technological innovation district dedicated to collaborations in applied industrial research, in synergy with the world of research and universities. A true science park in the heart of the Italian Capital. It is the Largest Gasometer in Europe and it is truly captivating, spanning over 12 hectares. The area features four gasometers, with the G4 being the largest in Europe: standing 90 metres high and boasting a circumference of 65 metres, its sheer scale is breathtaking up close. G4 is a pivotal landmark in the city's life; it has been transformed into a cultural hub, complete with an amphitheatre. Last summer, it hosted a concert by Måneskin. The collaboration with
FAI - Fondo per l'Ambiente Italiano (The National Trust for Italy) marks the first step in opening this area.

🌱 great news from the European Union! The European Parliament has officially greenlit a regulation promoting the right to repair products. This move aims to reduce environmental impact and protect consumers by encouraging over replacement.🛠️ The new directive will support repairs during and beyond the two-year legal warranty period. Sellers will offer free repairs within the warranty period, encouraging consumers to opt for repair rather than replacement. 🌍 This initiative is part of the EU's Green Deal and is expected to lead to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, resource consumption, and waste. Additionally, substantial economic savings for consumers and investments in the repair sector are anticipated. 💡 The directive will be formally adopted once it's approved by the Council and published in the Official Journal of the European Union, giving member states 24 months to incorporate it into national law. A major step towards a circular and sustainable economy and if you can't fix it, it's not yours!
