What Happens When You Drop An ATM From 100 Feet?
No surprise that ATM’s hold a bunch of cash. Knowing that, there is also no surprise that said ATM’s are built tough. They aren’t going to give up the loot too easily. Heck, even with a crowbar and hammer it is a very tough nut to crack. Watch what happens when you drop an ATM […]
Bicycle Self Filling Water Bottle Converts Humidity Into Drinkable H20
Imagine a water bottle on your bike that was self-filling. That is what Kristof Retezár hopes to create with his Fontus water bottle. The idea is simple enough; the water bottle uses solar cells to create an electrical temperature change which creates condensation. The condensed water is then stored in the water bottle for drinking. Sounds […]
Best UTV Skid Plates For The Money
If you were lucky enough to get a new UTV or Side-by-side for Christmas this year, congrats. I got a self balancing scooter. You know the “hoverboard” gadget that sends old men, like me, to the hospital. I’m not complaining. Thanks Uncle Vinnie. But… it isn’t a Kawasaki Teryx or a RZR XP 1000. I’m […]

The FAA is making it a requirement for people to register their unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Ridiculous in my opinion. I will rant alone loudly in my office about this while planning my move to […]
Jackfish Survival Tool
I love good survival tools. You can never be too prepared. The Jackfish Survival Card Holder packs quite a bit of goodness into its 8.5mm case. Heck it even holds 4 credit cards. We spent months designing the mechanism to insert and hold the cards. We went for the more costly option of carving the […]
Tokyo Drone Hunting Squad
In more irrational drone fear, Tokyo is joining the shenanigans with a drone that can catch/snag other drones. Basically they are flying what looks like DJI Spreading Wings 900 which carries a 3 x 2 meter net. And no, this isn’t a joke. It should be, but it isn’t. Tokyo law enforcement officials will have […]
