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.

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.
