Wow, check out this nifty Stand-Up Trike, tight! Will they send us a sample? (We will give it out as a prize if they do.)

Stephan Soder came up with the idea as a way to pull himself along while wearing rollerblades. He built the first one in his garage with a small petrol motor.

The commercial version is called the Easyglider X6 which riders can use with a skateboard or roller-blades or stand on a two-wheeled rear platform.

It features an electric-powered front wheel, a handbrake, a headlight, and three power levels. Optional extras include a music system, complete with a pair of mini speakers.

To use the Easyglider, you simply turn it on, stand on the platform and twist the throttle.

But the price may prove too much for some. It sells at £699, with a kids’ version available for £399.

It’s true that with enough determination that a person can do almost anything, in the case of Mubarak Muhammad Abdullahi, a 24 years old physics undergraduate from Nigeria, he did just that.

He always wanted his own helicopter, but did not want to spend the couple of million dollars on buying one, so he went down to the local scrap yard and built his own.

This one is made out of scarp metal, the seats out of an old Toyota car and the power comes from a trusty old 133 bhp Honda Civic engine. The dimensions are 12 m (39 ft) long, 5 m wide and 7 m high and believe it or not it does fly, but he has only flown it around seven feet off the ground!

Wow, it looks like there a lot of solar powered stuff that’s coming out lately. Check out this instructable that shows you how to make a solar powered bike helmet with night lights!

This project could be done in many different ways and I spent a lot of time trying different parts and ideas. The key breakthroughs for me were to use 3 AAA batteries, vs the 4AA’s that came with the Solar Panel because they were a better balance of weight to the right amount of power and milliamps. I ended up using a simple soft case Velcro wrapped to the helmet, and relied heavily on Black Shoe Goo! (I think it’s the new duct tape). Most of the work was getting an easy rapid prototype idea to work rain or shine, for months on end, and be versatile with replaceable parts. I kept it flat black because the helmet is flat black, so chips don’t show. And I’m in New York City, where black is the default color.

Now this is the sort of Segway that I would like to have, these are actually used by the guy and girls in the Ferrari factory. Just look at those racing style tyres! There are Ferrari logos in nice and neat places, while the body is a nice red finish that could only come from the Italian super car giant.

Of this would be much better if the teams from F1 had little one lap race on these things before each grand prix, it might lighten then all up a bit.

It makes you wonder what these high performance car companies will be producing next.

Some people just their obsessions get too far, and maybe this guy is one those because at first you think that he wants to fly and so therefore is taking lessons. Well that may be so; however the flight simulator that you see in the picture is in his home, in Coventry, UK.

What’s even more spectacular is the fact that this 747-400 flight simulator has been built by hand and is more or less perfect in every way, including the software that will allow the pilot to take off and land at most of the worlds airports.
