March 28th, 2008 Solar powered submarine
This submarine is so simple because of the use of a laminated/moulded solar module, waterproof by itself and by skipping any attempts to waterproof the connections or the motor. Don’t worry, many simple electric motors do withstand running them immersed in water. Some of them might corrode somewhat after use, making starting up the next time a little difficult, but For several this will not even be a problem

February 25th, 2008 Solar powered DragonFly robot
James Watt has created one of the most interesting piece of robotics i’ve seen. I came across this robotic insect, when i was google`ing for something in robotics. Its part sculpture art and part robot. The dragonfly its powered by several solar cells and a pager motor, all this tied together with some simple electronic parts. And the dragonfly robot its not the only piece design by James Watt, visit its page and you will find more amazing projects.
