SHOCK AND AMAZE! INEXPENSIVE PROJECTS YOU CAN BUILD!

INSIDE: PROJECTS THAT TOUCH THE LEADING EDGE OF ELECTRONICS

Electronics fans have waited a long time for this book. Not since 1983 has author Bob Iannini published a collection of his amazing projects -- all of them fun, easy, and inexpensive to make at home and, best of all, seriously exciting and impressive!

Iannini takes the stuff of science fiction and science future and brings it down to size for the home hobbyist. Full of easy-to-follow plans and clear diagrams and schematics, and respectful of your wallet, Electronic Gadgets for the Evil Genius gives you:

* Illustrated instructions and plans for amazing pretested projects advanced enough for sophisticated electronics enthusiasts but described in sufficient detail to be built easily by newcomers

* Explanations of the science and math behind each project (i.e., you can explore different methods of achieving acceleration)

* Frustration-free plans -- needed parts are listed, along with sources -- and most of these projects can be built for $100 or less

New Features:

Perfect hobbyist book -- the projects are inexpensive, yet truly make an impression on the serious electronics tinkerer and the mechanical hobbyist

Proven audience -- the author's company sells nearly 7,000 of just the plans for these projects every year, at an average cost of $15. This number doesn't even include 4 of the newest projects. Surely a book with ALL of the projects with explanations would be a welcome addition to the buyers' libraries.

Includes explanations of various methods of acceleration, power conditioning, energy source, magnetism, and electro-kineticsProjects contain a briefing on mathematical theory, along with a simple explanation of operationEach chapter contains detailed list of materials, sources for obtaining parts, schematics, documentation, and clear instructions for electronic assembly of each project.
