Natural Tree Branch LED Lamp

Failed Project:
Reason: after using it some time it turn out to be  too bright, disturbing my eyes. tried to defuse it but no space there on the branch. so i just destroyed  it to use the LEDs for another type of Lamp to be used on my desktop.it flopped on youtube as well didn't receive enough likes and Hackaday didn't publish it so i removed it from youtube. also the basket was a little too big to used for the base, i couldn't find a small one.
                                          --------------------------------------------------------------
this lamp is made of natural tree branches. i found these branches in a windy day on the road. brought them home and saw both of them have got a really nice shape and thought i should make a lamp out of them.
i started my work by drilling them and found a wooden basket to put them in and also a LED to make the light.the LED is from a simple bulb so i opened it and took the inverter and the led apart and put them in different places for my lamp. the LED is inside the wood branch cavity and the inverter is mounted inside the wooden basket. so finally the result was cool and i got to like this project and i am going to use it for my study or cutting vegetables.
see some pictures of this project how i made it and  there is a link to YouTube, you can click and watch the video of this project as well.

Hidden Secret RC Hard Drive

OK, first things first, this one was the craziest idea i came up with and i wonder how i manage to turn it to a video. but i did it anyway who cares, let it to be a video then wait how much complains i get from the community, i called it even a crazy hack.
so the basic idea was to make a hidden hard drive inside computer casing to be unknown to others or from hackers attacking your computer from a far distance through the web.As some one mentioned on Hackaday:
"the idea was good, the delivery failed" yea i right.
ok, let's talk about the nature of the project. it was supposed to be hidden at  off state and be unrecognizable by your operating system or even BIOS, until you activate it from another source via radio signals. that means it is a hard drive that is hidden by the parameters of hardware not software. i found this little RC car thinking this should be able to activate the HDD from a far distance. so i started working on the project, the video was successful on YouTube and with-in 5 years it received 4 Million views; from each 10 people giving a positive feedback at least one was negative. but now i  know  that the basic circuit design had some mistakes, it had to be fixed, also on Hackaday the community pointed out  many of the circuits' errors. i am glad they did so. this hard drive receives a Radio signal from another source and it should be active as long as the source keeps sending the radio signal.

 Reasons why this project failed to accomplish the task, were:

1.instead of those 3V batteries i should have used a power source from computer's power supply.
2. the relay should have had a good driver.
3.the radio signal should have been tuned via a circuit to be undetectable via the same RC car if run around the neighborhood. (low chance of occurrence though)
4.relay should have been a semi conductor relay so it could be activated silently.
5.the power source for the activation circuit should have been  a permanent and constant source, not this 3V batteries.

Warnings
this post is only for conveying the idea, it is not supposed to be re-make exactly the same, using this circuit design, it will damage the hard drive or the computer. DO NOT PROCEED THE SAME DESIGN AS SHOWN HERE. as it needs a better circuit design.

This is link of this project on Hacaday, the video is not available now but you can read the comments of the community if you are interested.
