4th time is the charm. That’s now how it goes but it does for SpaceX. Their forth attempt of launching a rocket, Falcon 1 into space from their launching system was successful. This is a momentous moment as it is the first private rocket to reach space. Also, the Falcon Launch Vehicle Family is designed to provide breakthrough advances in reliability, cost, flight environment and time to launch. In other words launching rockets into space can been cheaper, faster and safer for the environment.
Why attack wheels to suitcases when you can make a wheel a suitcase. Rooz Mousavi has done exactly that he designed the Obag. The form in the Obag makes it easier to move, maneuver and even drag up and down the stairs. The Obag has 2 compartments which open up like an atomic bomb, that’s kinda cool. It’s a not in production yet, however, I hope it will be soon.
Ferrari is one of the most popular manufacturer of supercars but why not superbikes? That’s what an Israeli designer Amir Glinik decided to change. He has designed a Ferrari bike concept that looks pretty darn good. The heart of the bike is a V4 engine with a fluid share around it and a waterproof LCD touch-screen above the fuel tank. This is only a concept so no numbers regarding it are known.
For all you Rubik’s cube fans. If you’re bored with 3×3x3, 4×4x4 and 5×5x5 here’s another cube that might provide a challenge. The parts are uneven (not squares anymore) and the cube also changes shape when mixed. The video shows how it works in more details. It’s sold in Japan for about $20.
This man is not waiting for rain or Merilyn Monroe air vent effect, he is sleeping. Artist Jamie O’Shea designed a vertical bed and presented it during the Conflux Festival in NYC. He even slept on(not quite on) it for 40 minutes for 4 days during the event.
I fail to see the benefits f such a “bed”. I personally don’t know where would a person might actually use it. You can’t use it in the city because God only knows what might happen when you are asleep. Somebody might steal you stuff or loot your pockets besides I wouldn’t feel safe to sleep on a street. At night it’s too cold to sleep without a cover and it doesn’t seem like you can cover yourself with anything in that position except maybe a sleeping bad. Not to mention it’s difficult to fall asleep standing up.
Superstar is a conceptual china town designed by MAD. A person could be born, live his life and die without living the star-city. The spires act like different districts. The Superstar produces its own resources and leaves no waste. On top of all that it is mobile.
How exactly does the city suppose to move is unclear and even if it could move around, moving something as big as this would certainly result in damages to the structure, unless of course, it is fitted with an anti-gravitational engine which would allow the star to take off and land smoothly. So I guess the next step for MAD is to design an anti-grav engine - good luck to them.
