Keep an eye out for MAKE Volume 14, which has a special section on optics. You'll learn how to make an inexpensive but powerful digital microscope that allows you to display bacteria colonies on a video monitor, a vintage-looking opaque projector that can display artwork from books onto a wall, a model of a crazy-angled room that makes things appear to change size, and a cool kaleidoscope. Also in the issue, we'll show you how to build a mesmerizing taffy pulling machine, a remote control dune buggy with a built-in video camera, a smoke ring cannon, a dollar-store parabolic microphone, and many more fun and fascinating projects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Magazine!, August 5, 2008

By	B. Hofstetter (Denton, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a really nice magazine for anyone who loves tinkering with electronics. We are trying to find the old issues we have missed and Amazon is definitely the right place for that. The mags are pretty expensive for the subscription but are really resonable here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Taffy Machine!!, June 13, 2009

By	Keybank Customer - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

hmmm... this particular magazine is what i would call so/so yet interesting. It is sligtly dissapointing as it's not quite what i was hoping for, however as a magazine series it's pretty good. Full of DIY "Do it yourself" kind of projects which are fun for any age group.

This particular magazine has a neat Taffy Machine blueprints and instructions on how to make your own wind generator.
