Back in June, David wrote about Tiny Drill, the world’s smallest drill. Of course, this drill could be useful for emergency situations where you would need to drill small holes. (I can’t think of any right now but I am sure it’s not just for looks.)

Anyways, Konstantin, the creator of the Tiny Drill, has finally opened a website where he’s selling his artwork. Check it out if you want to get one of these. If nothing else, at least you can amuse your friends that you own the smallest drill in the world.

Boys and their toys

David Allen — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 20:00:37 +0000

It makes no difference where you go there will be men of all ages messing around with some sort of gadget or reliving their past through some pursuit of other. However, there are not many places where you can go and see something like this.

This is the world’s fastest remote control car and it is brilliant, it has been built by the young at heart Nic Case, aged 46. Currently the car can reach a max speed of 161 miles per hour, but with a little tweaking he believes that he can crank it up to go over 200 miles per hour, not that is what you call boys with their toys!

DIY Satellite Antenna King!

max — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:57:07 +0000

Here’s a South Korean farmer who has managed to get 80 satellites up and running as shown here. The main reason is to actually get more channels for the foreign-born women who get married in rural Korea:

In South Korea, which had once prided itself on being a homogeneous society, 4 out of 10 women who married in rural communities last year were foreign born. In Yeongju alone, the number of foreign wives increased by 28 percent in the past year and a half, to 250, half of them from Vietnam.

“These women have a hard time fitting in. The local governments, and the husbands, often focus only on making them ‘Korean,’ teaching them the Korean language and computer skills,” said Mr. Lee, 39, who has never married. “They don’t quite understand how isolated these women feel.”

Anyway I look at it, this isn’t just another farmer, maybe Mr. Lee needs to stop farming and start a new broadcasting company.

I too, wonder when we will be able to drive a car with our brains but the wheelchair is no small feat for sheezy.

According to Toyota, the company’s BMI technology has advanced to the point where it’s practically instantaneous (the delay is just 125 milliseconds), is 95-percent accurate and will adapt itself to any user’s thought patterns. Next logical question: How long until our cars come sans pedals and steering wheels?

How cool is this? This is like that Back to The Future car!

The Gasifier Experimenters Kit (GEK) offers beginners through experts an easy way build, compare and customize a wide variety of gasifier reactor types and configurations. Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or a university researcher, the GEK will get you over the starting hurdles of biomass gasification, and on to the more rewarding work of refining specific architectures, testing fuels, and making power.

The GEK kit is designed in a modular fashion which allows for easy switching between common reactor types and operating regimes. Each “reactor type” is a separate assembly that bolts into a common “gas cowling and ash handling” base. See here for the full list of planned GEK reactors. Within each reactor type, relevant variables are easily adjusted and sub-assemblies are simply replaced via standardized “bolt to” flanges.

The result is a Lego system of gasification- a motivated and flexible building system enabling you to run, compare and share results over a wide range of architectures and commonly discussed –but rarely implemented– “expert configurations”.

I can’t think of a better way to showcase the technology in a rather unorthodox and tongue-in-cheek method at this point in time than this. “We haven’t quite achieved Rockefeller or National Christmas tree lighting status yet, but we’re well on our way,” says the leader of GE’s OLED program, Anil Duggal. OLEDs are, of course, a new type of lighting more efficient than current types of lighting available.

New Years in New York will be Powered by Pedals!

New Years event in New York City Times Square “next” year, will be powered in part by pedals by humans.

How cool is that? Save earth.

Duracell has set up a “power lodge” in Times Square where visitors are ushered to a row of bicycles with generators connected to a set of massive batteries.

So far the project has collected 95 hours of pedal power, or about 35 percent of the total needed, Iverson told Reuters.

The power is generated from old-fashioned rotary technology — pedal power and spinning wheels.

“We estimate our goal is to get 230 hours of people doing the cycle over the course of December and then we will have enough charge in the batteries for at least 10 to 15 minutes during the live telecast,” said Iverson.

DIY Replica Fighter Jet goes 5MPH!

Check out this cool DIY replica fighter jet that can actually run at 5MPH. Of course, that’s on the ground only but I wouldn’t mind having one of these in my garage, great for weekend neighborhood showoffs.

Measuring seven metres in length and four metres in width the £4,000 F-35 Lightning II Fighter Jet has been built at a scale of 1:2.

Resembling Tom Cruise’s jet out of Top Gun, it took 3,500 hours to construct the model.

The plane is constructed from iron, wood, hard foam, fibreglass and lots of epoxy filler, comes complete with cameras and monitors inside the cockpit, and is capable of achieving speeds of 5mph on the road.

The plane’s designer, Arthur van Poppel, 49, from Tilburg, Holland, said: “I finished the plane at the beginning of last year.

“I had no drawings to work from, just some pictures and a small plastic Revell model to use as an example.

Capital Gate Tower is the Worlds Most Crooked Building in the World!

max — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 02:51:44 +0000

Developers in Abu Dhabi have made so much money on oil crisis, they are building the World’s Most Crooked Building that is 4 times more crooked than the previous record holder, the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

It doesn’t surprise me though, it’s about time modern architecture proves to be somewhat better than stuff that were built over a century ago. Not that I don’t like the Leaning Tower but it’s always great to have something new and better.

I just hope this Capital Gate Tower lasts more than a century like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Otherwise, it’s not really worth it.

As Construction of Capital Gate continues ADNEC, the developers, and RMJM, the project’s architects, have submitted a joint application to the Guinness Book of Records to recognise the tower as the ‘most inclined in the world’.

The 35 storey gravity defying feature tower will lean westward 18 degrees, 4 times as far as the Leaning Tower of Pisa which currently leans 3.97 degrees.

Because of its unique posture, Capital Gate is being constructed on top of an incredibly dense mesh of reinforced steel. The dense mesh sits above an intensive distribution of 490 piles which have been drilled 30 metres underground to accommodate the gravitational, wind and seismic pressures caused by the lean of the building. Features of the tower include 728 unique custom-made diamond-shaped glazing panels that due to the structure’s curving shape, will be will be fitted at a slightly different angle.

DIY Chinese Solar-powered Car gets 90+ Miles on a 30-hour Charge!

We’ve all heard of what some Chinese people can do such as the DIY Helicopter and DIY Submarine. Well, here’s comes another cool innovation, a Solar Powered car that does 90+ miles on a single 30 hour charge.

Of course, if there’s sun while you drive, that’s additional miles to add.

Now, let me ask GM, Toyota, and Honda, where are your “Chinese” solar-powered” cars?

This is impressive, more impressive than any hybrid cars I have seen.

this solar-powered car built by China’s Zhejiang 001 Group is pretty impressive in its own right, both for its price (just $5,560), and it’s efficiency. That latter bit is a result of some rather un-integrated solar panels, which absorb 95% of the solar energy they take in and convert it to electricity at between 14 and 17% efficiency, which is actually pretty impressive as far as solar panels go. According to the company, that should let you travel about 150 kilometers on a 30-hour charge, though you’ll only be able to go five kilometers on a one-hour charge.

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.

Underwater Turbine for Water Power from Oxford University!

max — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 15:29:32 +0000

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.

The Dubai Ziggurat - Eco-Friendly Self-Sustaining Pyramid for 1 Million People!

Dubai seems to always spark the public’s interest with things like the tallest buidling in the world.

Well, here’s another great idea that might make it to production, an eco-friendly self-sustaining pyramid that can house 1 million people.

The size of the pyramid should be huge but shouldn’t be a hard task for Dubaians who are already building the tallest building in the world.

The Mayans and Egyptians constructed incredible feats of architecture able to weather the test of time, but they had no idea their pyramids would inspire the shape of the latest carbon-neutral super-structure to hit Dubai. Dubai-based environmental design firm Timelinks recently released some eye-catching renderings of the gigantic eco pyramid – aptly named Ziggurat – with plans for its official unveiling scheduled for the Cityscape Dubai event which runs October 6-9 of this year. The ginormous pyramid will cover 2.3 square kilometers and will be able to sustain a “community” of up to 1 million.

EcoJohn – Eco Toilet Incinerates your Poop!

max — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 19:20:32 +0000

This has to be the coolest eco-frienldy device for taking a dump. It’s an Eco Toilet that works by incinerating your poop to white powder. Even better, the incinerated poop can be used for adding nutrition to your plants.

With the Eco Toilet in the works, we will no longer need long septic pipes to our houses, just one little toilet that does the job for you.

Of course, I have not tested this unit. The only thing I am afraid of is the fact that it’s going to smell somewhat like burnt poop somewhere along the line but perhaps I might be wrong on this.

The toilets, one of several waste disposal products offered by the company, operate pretty much like the units found in homes across America today. But while those toilets use water to carry waste away, the EcoJohn Sr. is equipped with a propane-fueled burner.

After a user does his business, he closes the lid and a large, screw-like auger turns and carries the waste to the burn chamber where the propane burner then bakes urine, feces and paper into ashes.

“With this, if you have a family of four for a year and half, you get about a cup of white ash,” company president Frank Jacobsonsaid. “And because it’s burnt so intensely, you can take it and put it in a flower bed or outside or just dump it in the trash can. It’s completely biodegradable, so there’s not a problem for disposal.”

$400,000 Champagne Glasses!

max — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 06:30:10 +0000

You thought you “were” rich until you found out you couldn’t afford these $400K champagne glasses…

The champagne glasses were chiseled out of 8kg blocks of rock quartz crystal and took 5 jewelers 3 months to put together. The two glasses were designed by John Calleija who claims they are “the world’s most expensive champagne glasses.” We don’t doubt it as these two challises, otherwise known as “the real pimp cups”, are blinged-out with 1,700 white and pink diamonds totaling 19 carats, and platinum 18 carat white and rose gold.

Cure for Cancer Found by Injecting Cloned Immune Cells into Cancer Cells!

max — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 05:59:23 +0000

Yey, cure for cancer has been found! It will simply be matter of time before this procedure gets properly documented and used worldwide to cure people with cancer.

Scientists at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle concentrated on a type of immune system cell called a CD4+ T cell.

From a sample of the man’s white blood cells, they were able to select CD4+ T cells which had been specifically primed to attack a chemical found on the surface of melanoma cells.

These were then multiplied in the laboratory, and put back in their billions to see if they could mount an effective attack on the tumours.

Two months later, scans showed the tumours had disappeared, and after two years, the man remained disease-free. The new cells persisted in the body for months after the treatment.

Well, I can’t see the last couple digits moving, maybe they need a high speed camera to really prove it’s the world’s fastest clock.

World’s Smallest Laptop Stand/Cooler!

Check out this awesome lookin’ laptop stand/cooler. I have been looking for something like this but the great thing is that this laptop stand/cooler folds into a little box about the size of an adult’s hand.

This company also makes some other really cool lookin’ laptop stand/coolers.

cRadia(www.cradia.co.kr) introduced its portable notebook cooler ‘flex mini’ during Computex 2008, which can be used as a notebook stand to make your computing life a lot more comfortable.

World’s Strongest Man Made Tornado Rules!

max — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 22:38:56 +0000

Watch the vid and see the world’s strongest man made tornade in action!

This must be great way for scientists to discover ways to stop tornados too.

You may have seen this man-made wonder before, but Guinness World Records has now proclaimed it to be the world’s “strongest artificially generated tornado”. At 34.43-meters high, it uses over 140 separate jets to inject 28-tons of air into the courtyard, generating an artificial tornado. It’s not just for show, this also serves to eliminate smoke in the event of a fire according to the museum’s manager.

Roadrunner Supercomputer – The Fastest $133 Million computer in the World!

max — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 01:46:12 +0000

I’ve always been fond of supercomputers and I even did a college final project on supercomputers. (That’s 10 years ago..)

Here’s Roadrunner Supercomputer, based out of Los Alamos National Laboratory, supposedly a lot faster than the now-runner-up BlueGene from Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in Livermore, California.

Damn, I wish Google released how big their computers are, I bet it lists high on the list too.

The new machine is more than twice as fast as the previous fastest supercomputer, the I.B.M. BlueGene/L, which is based at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California.

The new $133 million supercomputer, called Roadrunner in a reference to the state bird of New Mexico, was devised and built by engineers and scientists at I.B.M. and Los Alamos National Laboratory, based in Los Alamos, N.M. It will be used principally to solve classified military problems to ensure that the nation’s stockpile of nuclear weapons will continue to work correctly as they age. The Roadrunner will simulate the behavior of the weapons in the first fraction of a second during an explosion.

Evolta Robot Climbs 530 meters at Grand Canyon!

max — Mon, 26 May 2008 11:08:17 +0000

Evolta Robot, powered by 2 double A Panasonic batteries, climbs 530 meters up a rope at Grand Canyon.

Why is this cool?

Well it’s cool that a 17 centimeter tall can do so much with just 2 double A batteries plus it’s a great viral marketing for Panasonic batteries. Looks like Duracell battery and Energizer bunny have their paws full…

On May 24, a 17-centimeter tall, 130-gram Panasonic Evolta battery mascot robot scaled a 500-meter cliff at the Grand Canyon in a publicity stunt to showcase the endurance of the Evolta AA alkaline battery, which the Guinness Book of World Records recently recognized as the longest-lasting of its kind.

World Record – John Chow is the Blogging Seinfeld? He makes money making fun of the internet!

max — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 02:32:59 +0000

As you well know, my blogger friend John Chow was on Entrepreneur this month! He’s coined as the “Blogging Seinfeld”. I couldn’t agree more. There’s a lot of people saying how John Chow is a spam blog but I disagree with that. He made a new blogging topic, “Making Money Online” so explosive that now you see thousands of blogs like John Chow’s.

If it wasn’t for his blog, I doubt there would be such an enormous “buzz” around the internet about making money online with blogs.

Well, I honestly think there’s still a lot of money to be made on the internet.

This will probably keep growing for another 20 years, especially in the US, where it’s hard to find a job fresh out of college. I bet job hiring rate is a lot higher in India.

Not that I am complaining since I am “jobless and broke”. But I am figuring my way around the internet like John by selling off some of my websites steadily and taking on some random jobs. If you wanna help me from going bankrupt and live on the streets, go check out SiteHoppin.

Anyways, congrats to John Chow for gettin’ on Entrepreneur!

(p.s. I have an advertisement on John Chow for SiteHoppin, I hope this article boosts John’s blog traffic. )

Here’s a little video of my February edition of Entrepreneur, do you have a copy yet?

Jet powered school bus

Now there are no excuses for the kids to be late for school any more.

This is a jet powered school bus which will burn up the road and reach take off speed, or rather you would have thought so but there is no data available on the performance, or in fact if there is any room left for seats anyway!

How fast can you go?

David Allen — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 15:00:34 +0000

Using your bike to go to work of college can be a bit of challenge, you may time how fast it takes or even how fast you can go, but you would have to go some to beat this cyclist.

Markus Stoekl has just broke the world speed record for a mountain bike by reaching an amazing 130.7 mph; imagine heading off to work at that speed!

The speed record was set on a two kilometre stretch of track, set a forty fives degrees in the Chilean Alps. It took just forty seconds to travel the distance, how long does it take you to travel 2 Km’s?
