Leave it up to those zany kids at MIT to beef up a shopping cart to the point that it can top out at 45 MPH… all without using any Ferrari parts . What they did was upgrade the tires, add an electric motor and throw in some batteries. Hey, it has four wheels and goes vroom vroom… plus it already has a decent safety cage. I’d drive that! LOLrioKART: This Shopping Go Kart Screams Jackass [uberreview] Scientists are working on artificial muscles made out of carbon nanotubes. This could lead to huge advances in robotics as well as prosthetic limbs. People might even opt for nano-muscular implants instead of taking HGH supplements to get buffed up. Would that mean that there would be a need for two separate bodybuilding classes- natural and synthetic? Or perhaps some sort of nano-muscle strongman competition? That would fun to watch. Meanwhile, prosthetic limbs could very well be better than their natural counterparts. Carbon Nanotube Muscles [pixel-shack]
Scratch that- air powered cars are here. The goofy little vehicle you see here is an air powered contraption. It wields a whopping 5.4 horsepower. It has a top speed of 30 MPH, with a projected top speed of 50 MPH for future models. There’s no word on how much electricity this thing produces, so you’re not likely to see these things pimped out with PS3 players anytime soon, but one can only assume that it can run headlights and turn signals at the very least. While the top speed isn’t too impressive, the range is between 90-125 miles, which isn’t half bad. A top-notch air pump can fill up the tanks in about two minutes.
Okay, so it’s actually supposed to be the world’s biggest alarm clock… but who really cares? What we have here is an absurd combination of low-rider and alarm clock… Before I saw the video, I thought that it just kinda shook the bed… I imagined myself not wanting to leave because it was vibrating… but this think makes the bed HOP! Of course my worries wnt directly to the new ceramic tile that I’ve installed in my room. I suppose that some sort of padding could be rigged up to accomodate the shaking, but I’d rather not.

Check out this cool little playhouse… and ogle that bad photoshop! I think this may end up being one of those toys that is a whole lot smaller than it should be… or you might call it fun size , or cozy… but you’re certainly not going to be jamming a sleep number bed in there… unless you cut it into little bits and re-glue it together once the pieces are inside. Hey, why not- this thing already costs about $75… The Star Wars Tie Fighter Playhouse [foolish gadgets] Related Blogs
Here’s a fun little school supply- it’s a toy and a tool all at once. You can erase your mistakes or you can pull it back and let ‘er rip… it’s a good thing that you can’t do both, or you’d end up with a bunch of erased homework! Just try not to use this thing on those old asbestos tiles, or you may end up needing Mesothelioma treatment . Okay, that’s just my paranoid side coming out. My friend and I were talking about asbestos the other day and he said that mostly people who actually work with asbestos on a regular basis get the disease, and they’re usually smokers on top of it.

Zeros Washing Machine Uses Plastic Chips And Nylon Beads To Save WaterPosted by admin in Uncategorized
Saving the environment has become a major concern, especially in the last decade. Fortunately, scientists and manufacturers have taken note of this trend. Case in point: the Xeros washing machine- it uses %90 less water than ordinary washing machines. And all this time I thought that I could save water with new shower faucets . These washing machines also use %30 less energy and leave the clothes less damp, meaning that they are easier to dry- resulting in even more energy savings. Sounds to good to be true? Expect it to be sold to commercial establishments in 2010! Refreshing news: washing machine with nylon beads uses 90% less water [technabob]
Bandai is selling these little toys for about $6 in Japan. All they really do is sit in your bottle of water and drift around. They don’t really serve any purpose other than being aesthetically pleasing. Kind of like those dog ramps I bought for the pickup… the dogs completely ignored them and leapt right into the tailgate. That’s okay, my mom uses them in one of her windows now. Maybe you could use the water bottle toys to distinguish the dog water from the people water!
Child labor laws be damned! This three year old is operating a huge digger, like it or not (I like it). Only in Russia! I guess this kid already knows what he wants to be when he grows up. Hit the source for a video of the action. 3 year old operates heavy machinery [techeblog]
Next up is this Samsung 18.5″ widescreen LCD monitor for just a hair over $100 after rebate. I just love how LCD screens are becoming affordable, and Samsung is the leader in LCD technology. This is a nice price on a nice screen. This little screen could be great even if you already have a monitor; I have a friend who is always going on about adding a second display to his home computer, and I’ve even used a computer monitor as a display for my xbox 360. |
