Monty

Wow, check out this cool Monty bike this guy made!

This is a small, simple recumbent bicycle. With its 16″ wheels Monty is a portable vehicle which easily can be dismantled. I wanted a bike that I can bring on trains, buses and other means of public transport. Since there are hardly any small foldable recumbent bikes on the market I decided to build one myself.

Check out the wearable LED light you can make!

The Wearable Light kit is a leather cuff with LEDs embedded inside. The Velcro functions as a switch so the bracelet only illuminates when it is in active use. It is a kit designed as an investigative tool to gain insight into DIY culture.

Check out these awesome Hornet Gyros if you haven’t yet. This would be cool to make and fly it around your pad!  You can start with these mini-kits first and then maybe move on to the real thang!

The Hornet Autogyro is 2-stroke powered, recreational, sport gyroplane. It was designed from the beginning to be an ultralight, meaning, that you do not need a license to fly it. However, in the interest of safety (and your own neck), flight instruction is mandatory.

Check out this video of the fish tank doubling as a fryer. Maybe the fish will be smart enough to not go over the water into the hot oil… I don’t mind the video but the food cooked in that environment just doesn’t seem too tasty…

See, you have this aquarium with real live fish, and then, sitting right on top, is piping hot oil (163 Celsius) that is actually used to cook food. Since the water and the oil don’t mix, all the fish have to do to stay alive is not venture into the hot oil on top. What’s more,
