Convert Your Boring Sunroof Into A Solar Sunroof
Sunrise Solar has cooked up an interesting idea… they are going to make replaceable sunroofs for your car. Take out your old sunroof and put in the solar one which can be used to charge your battery, cool/heat your car, etc… Not sure if this product will make it to market, or what it will […]
Fisker Karma – Funny Name – Cool Hybrid Car
Looks like Tesla and Aptera finally have some competition… although it seems to trump them both… sorta. Fisker Automotive, plans on having this hybrid car available for sale in 2010. The car goes from 0-60 mph in about 5.8 seconds, can run on electric only mode for 50 miles before the gasoline engine/generator even turns […]
Big Toys For Big Brother In UK
Friend of mine send me this pic of some anal retentive British Defense Ministry chap playing with what looks like a hover-copter. Apparently having Mother England covered with static surveillance cameras is not enough – time to upgrade the toys. At first look, this reminds me of one of those crappy remote hover choppers that […]
Build Your Own Batmobile Tumbler
Bob Dullam, a pretty crafty fabricator, built himself his version of Batmans Tumbler. He made the car from scratch, obviously, and claims the car gets 50mpg (just kidding). [Source] Via KSU
Bad Ass Golf Carts
Bad Ass Golf Carts in Las Vegas has some seriously trick golf cart options. They offer everything from limousine stretch versions to lifted a full 14-inches. The best part… they put 24HP Honda engines in the carts so they are reliable. They aren’t cheap… the one I want starts at almost $13,000. [Source]
2010 Honda Hybrid
Looks like Honda is dedicating more energy and development on an all new hybrid vehicle. This hybrid is not going to share a body style with another existing vehicle… like their last hybrids did (civic, accord, etc…). This hybrid will be available in the fall of 2009 and Honda expects to ship only 100,000 units […]
Axon Anti-Gravity RC Hovercraft – The Razorback
I love remote control gadgets… cars… boats… planes… helicopters… etc… So when I saw the video for the Axon Razorback RC hovercraft I pee’d a little. The Razorback will go 25mph right out of the box… but can go 50mph (won’t take 2 minutes to crash it at those speeds) with a simple motor upgrade. […]
Fold-Up Plane Getting Closer To Reality
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMMm_MczGL0 The ICON A5 showed off it’s transformer like ability to fold-up at last weeks EAA AirVenture show in Oskosh. ICON’s hope is that the plane will appeal to customers who are intimidated by the process of getting a typical pilots license, or/and don’t have a place to store a full sized plane. The ICON […]
Toyota Geeks It Up Segway Style – Winglet
As if Segway wasn’t lame enough, Toyota joined the lineup of Segway’s knockoffs with a gimp little entry called Winglet. Winglet sounds more like a Maxi Pad knockoff for tiny cooters but I digress. Since Sony scrapped most of its robotics division (yes kids they shot Aibo the dog), Toyota stepped in and picked up […]
