Another Day, Another Hot Tub Boat
Remember the Hot Tug? Get your mind out of the gutter, it is a small boat with a built in stove/hot tub. Well it now has a more grown up looking friend built by two Seattle, WA marine carpenters. This boat is powered by an electric motor while the heat for the hot tub is […]
Human Hoist = Amazing
Mechanics without car lifts, or for quick checks under vehicles, should pay attention. The Human Hoist is battery powered, hydraulic driven, and spring torsion assisted personal lifting chair. What the heck does that mean? Watch the videos after the break and prepare to be amazed.
Human Powered Hydrofoil
What looks to be a gadget from IUT-Brest Morlaix in France comes a pretty slick two person pedal powered hydrofoil. Hard to tell how hard those two guys are working but this is one of the most stable human powered hydrofoils I have seen.
This $32 RollJam Gadget Can Open Most Cars And Garage Doors
Hacker Samy Kamkar releases another hack to keep folks up at night, the RollJam. Forget that it costs just $32 to build. Remember that it can open virtually every car and garage door on the road today. In case you haven’t heard of Samy Kamkar, he is the guy who released OwnStar to hack any […]
Tetra-POD Clamshell Trailer Opens To Become A Boat
The Tetra-POD is a handy little work/storage trailer that can be towed behind a car or ATV. Perfect for hauling anything from debris to your gear. That alone is not super amazing. In my best infomercial voice – “But that’s not all…”. The Tetra-POD lid opens and connects to the lower portion of the trailer […]

Lazareth Wazuma Bio V12
Full beast mode. The Lazareth Wazuma Bio V12 makes 500 bhp, uses a BMW V12, runs on bio-ethanol, and has 4 wheels (despite looking like a trike). Two things are a bit hard to swallow, 1) the $284,000 price tag and 2) the fact that it is made in France. Video and pictures of the Lazareth Wazuma […]
Mando Footloose G1 Chain-less E-Bike With A Twist
Sure this e-bike looks modern, even a bit strange. Yes it folds up pretty small. It also has a color LCD screen to control resistance and acceleration. There is plenty of aluminum, lithium-ion, and carbon fiber. Still not impressed? How about the fact that the pedals aren’t attached to a chain. In fact the pedals […]
Volkswagen Last Mile Surfer
Apparently the crowded parking lot situation is not a new one. Volkswagen is recycling an old idea with a new twist. Remember the Honda Motocompo? It was a tiny folding motorcycle built in the early 1980’s that was sold as an option to the Honda City car. It fit neatly in the hatchback and had mounting […]
Fishing Has Evolved. Quadcopter For Placing Bait And Loaded With Sensors.
Fishing is a 40,000 year old pastime that continues to evolve with technology. We now have super realistic fishing lures, sonar fish-finders, underwater cameras, graphite fishing rods, scented bait, etc… Poor fish. Apparently all of this high tech fishing gadgetry wasn’t enough because now there is a fishing drone quadcopter. The AguaDrone is a waterproof […]
