Are you the kind of candy diva who buys a bag of Skittles, only to eat certain colors? Maybe you work for one who makes you pluck them out for them. Either way, this machine will sort M&M’s and Skittles by color easily, because you don’t need to taste the rainbow.
19-year-old Willem Pennings built this Arduino-powered machine that makes quick work of the task. It uses a color sensor, stepper motor, and 3D-printed parts to direct the flow of candy into six bowls. Now you can just eat what you want, without having to wade through all of them by hand. Seems weird to me, but I don’t judge.
The sun may look round from our viewing angle but it -- like most stars -- aren't as spherical as they seem. It's actually 10 kilometers wider at its equator than it is at its poles. This is due to stars' rate of spin and variances within their magne...

Space might look like a sprawling, inky abyss, but invisible to the human eye is a wealth of magnetic activity. Earth has a magnetic field called the magnetosphere, which is frequently buffeted by solar winds exuded by the Sun. These winds carry thei...

Ever wish you could be rewarded for reading your emails? With the DIY Edible Email Notifier, every time you read an email, you get an M&M. Candy! Who can resist a sweet little piece of chocolate? Nobody. Send me more emails! Created by Kathryn McElroy, the EEN was made using an Arduino processor, a stepper motor, and of course a wine bottle. The Arduino runs a script to check the number of unread messages on your computer ever 20 seconds. If the number goes down it means you’ve read an email and the motor moves and drops a reward M&M into the glass. The EEN was presented at the Maker Faire 2013. Let’s see how it works in this video:

Of course now you have a great excuse for not reading someone’s email to you- “sorry I couldn’t read your email, I’m on a diet”. With the amount of emails I get, I’d be a blimp by the end of the week. Heck, I’d start sending emails to myself just to get an M&M.
