Volkswagon 235MPG Car available in 2010!

Posted in Auto, Cars, Consumer, Cool, Design, Earth, Educational, Energy, Gadgets by max on the May 27th, 2008 at 10:16 am

Volkswagon 235MPG Car available in 2010!

This VW can do 235MPG! It’s really small and cramped but hey, the VeeDub gets almost 5 times better mileage than my motorcycle.

The 1L is a lightweight two person vehicle made out of a magnesium frame covered by an unpainted carbon fiber skin. Every component of the vehicle is intended to reduce the vehicles weight. Aluminum brakes, carbon fiber wheels, titanium hubs, and ceramic bearings all contribute to the vehicle’s light weight of a mere 290 kg. To reduce the weight even further, and to increase the aerodynamics of the vehicle, there are no rear view mirrors. Instead, the car is equipped with cameras that display visual information to the driver via the internal LCD screen.

Grab yourself a piece of the Titanic

Posted in Cool, Industrial, Watches, retro by david on the December 13th, 2007 at 6:00 am

Now this is very strange, as you can plainly see its watch, but it doesn’t look it little rusty to you? Well it should do, because before the metal was retrieved it was lying at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and has been there since 1912!

titanic watch

Yes folks this is said to be made from a genuine piece of the ill fated ship, just a few pieces of like the front and hands are made from the Titanic, the rest is made from titanium and blackened steel.

There is no price for this yet, and I suppose that there will be those who are for it and those who are against it, I personally think it looks like a new watch that has been left outside in the rain for a while.

If you need an iPod case

Posted in Audio, mp3 by david on the June 5th, 2007 at 8:00 am

There is a big business building up that runs along side the giant iPod business, this is the business of iPod cases and covers, and more or less everyday there are one or two different styles of case, made from varying materials and sometimes out of the box designs.

Nothing could more out of the box than this offer from the Kiwami Studio in Japan, they have created a case for the iPod nano completely made from Titanium and now you just know that it is going to be expensive. Once encased within the Fractron the iPod can be operated as normal through the access ports.

Titanium is extensively used in precision engineering, like in tools and high performance cars and machinery.

The Factron re nano will set you back around the $820 mark, now how much is an iPod nano?
