A skatboarder in Germany achieved 50MPH+ on the highway.  The German government is still trying to track down the person who did it to put him in jail but I think they should give him an award instead.

A video of the skateboarder, broadcast on German television networks on Wednesday, showed a helmeted figure wearing a red and white protective suit building up speed by holding onto the back of a motorcycle before letting go and freewheeling.

“We put out an all-points bulletin and have received information that gives us useful clues to who the man may be,” Stoeckle said. “We are particularly concerned about copycats who may imitate the stunt, putting their lives at risk.”

Here’s an innovative Auto-Fold Baby Stroller, which will fold/unfold itself using a remote control plus the on-board battery charges itself by the wheels turning on the stroller.  This will be great for dads/moms who constantly have to fold it everytime they go out with the baby.

The stroller itself has safety features that will disable the folding mechanism but I think that’s my only worry, what if the sensor breaks and your child gets folded along with the mechanism?  That’d mean some serious lawsuits and dead babies we don’t want.  Perhaps they can install a “manual” lock, not a breakable sensor.

A small generator powers the stroller and recharges itself with every 300 feet of use. The Origami has safety features that include built in intelligence that can detect when a child is in its seat, disabling the automated folding mechanism. With tremendous storage features, the Origami touts an easily removable backpack, cup holders for kids and adults and washable fabrics in a variety of colors.

I am sure most of you are familiar with automated car wash in your local city/town but here’s a new innovative automated Motorcycle wash for your bikers.  I wish they had one in San Francisco so I can take my bike for a wash.

With revolutionary techniques specifically designed to accommodate the growing numbers of motorcycles on the road today, the Moto Express Wash has transformed the 2 hour hand cleaning we have all accepted as normal: into a 5 minute automated process.

Engineers at Oxford University have come up with a new innovative concept for underwater turbines that use 60% less manufacturing and 40% less in maintenance costs.

This type of new underwater generator involves the THAWT device.  I believe these types of underwater turbines and ocean wind turbines combined will soon be everywhere in the ocean to generate over 90% of our electricity.

The THAWT is considered to be a “second generation” turbine as opposed to the first generation models that resembled windmills. It consists of a cylindrical rotor that rolls around its long axis with the flow of water, instead of turning at right angles. Promising to be more efficient and powerful than other underwater turbines, each THAWT is predicted to produce 12 megawatts of energy - enough to power 12,000 family homes and significantly more than other underwater turbines of today.

A testing woman on the Di-cycle

Di-Cycle is a concept bicycle that could potentially help bikers travel over water and land.  There’s no info on when and how this concept is available so keep your fingers crossed.

This two-wheeled vehicle was specially designed to function as a mode of transport over land as well as water, although it won’t protect you against splashes and rough storms no thanks to a lack of a canopy. No idea on what other features are available with the Di-Cycle concept, but parking this is going to be quite tricky.
