Precer BioRacer Charges Batteries With Wood Pellet Engine
The Precer Group has a pretty cool looking rig in their BioRacer concept… looks like something from the Halo video game. The Precer BioRacer has a 16HP electric motor powered by a 24 to 96 volt (100 to 400 amp hour) battery pack depending on configuration choices. The batteries are recharged by a Stirling engine […]
Softbrew Coffee Pot
Last week the NYT had an interview with George Sowden, designer of the SoftBrew. SoftBrew is a pitcher style coffee brewing gadget. George Sowden’s obsession with coffee led to him inventing the SoftBrew. Sowden often visited factories instead of museums as a tourist, and believes there is a disconnect between designers and manufacturing. Because of […]

Hair Washing Robot By Panasonic
I remember the good old days of getting my hair, when I had hair, washed at the hair cutters. There was something incredibly relaxing and therapeutic about those hair washes.

Better, Faster, Stronger Raytheon Sarcos Exoskeleton XOS2
The Raytheon Sarcos XOS military exoskeleton is over three years old, and was amazing then… the newer version is even more powerful.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9
Microsoft used to own the browser world but they have seen better products take market share…from almost 100% down to 60%. Pretty sad for a browser that comes bundled with the operating system. Just shows you that people really had a desire to leave internet explorer in search of a better option. Maybe Microsoft will […]
Cri-Cri Solar Plane
The Cri-Cri solar powered airplane is a single seater. It has a maximum flying time of 15 minutes which isn’t entirely impressive, but hey this type of thing is still pretty new.
