Instant Flat Tire Sealer And Inflator

by Edwin

I have gone through my fair share of flat tires in the past 10 years since getting my license, and it is always a hassle to take out the replacement tire. Soiling my hands is not an issue, but to sweat in the tropical heat at the side of a dusty road while jacking up the car? That, I absolutely loathe. Still, an electronic jack would be useful, and just …

SeaBird personal submarine

by Edwin

What are some of the big boy’s toys that only tycoons and magnates are able to afford? Super fast and exotic cars, taking the helicopter to the office because one does not want to go through the hassle of traffic jams, or even purchasing a private jet if that is one’s desire. But what happens when you prefer the seven seas instead of being stuck in a traffic gridlock or …

MIT student develops self-balancing unicycle with the Bullet

by Mark R

You remember all that hype that came with the Segway about a decade ago? I believe that it was supposed to revolutionize pedestrian travel in the big city, but the city streets are still full of walkers with only the occasional Segway. An MIT student named Stephan Boyer created this homemade self-balancing unicycle which he calls the “Bullet”. Yes, if you have problems balancing on a unicycle, the Bullet could …

Allied Victory Sidecar Motorcycle

by Edwin

You know something? The moment I laid my eyes on this $10,000 Allied Victory Sidecar Motorcycle, somehow or rather, the visage of Captain America flashed across my mind. I could not help it, and I guess an icon of freedom, even if he is an imaginary person, does actually work as an idea. For those who want to live out their Captain America fantasies and shoot some imaginary Nazis down …

by Mark R

Just so we can get this out of the way, this is one of those KickStarter projects. You know, the type that require your funding in order to get it on the market, and you might be guaranteed the first one if you pledge enough money? This is the spnKiX, and it is a pair of electric roller skates. I guess those Segways were not enough for us, and we …

Stratolaunch could change launches into space

by Mark R

For those who really like the idea of launching a passenger-carrying rocket into space like an airplane should hear about Stratolaunch. There is a video of it after the jump, but as you will soon see, it is a CG mock-up, no more real than what you see in a Pixar film. This because it is a concept for now, and you can see how it works. The plan takes …

Flyboard lets you fly like a bird, swim like a dolphin

by Mark R

Some of you might remember our report on the JetLev Flyer, a jet pack that used water for propellant. Similar in design is the Flyboard. The Flyboard doesn’t put all the thrust on the back, but puts it on boots. Not only that, the user has hand jets so he or she is capable of some seriously cool stunts. I would imagine that learning control of it is like how …

Sealander Schwimmcaravan lets you travel like a boss

by Edwin

Ever wondered what would happen when someone says, “whatever floats your boat”, and you shoot back with “You mean, my caravan”, only to receive a flabbergasted look on the other person’s face? Well, you sure as heck did not lose a screw somewhere, but rather, you are a proud owner of the Sealander Schwimmcaravan, although bringing this puppy home by road or through the river would have also emptied your …
