The BuzzBall is essentially rollercoaster in a big ball. Two electric motors propel the ball forward and the seat inside rotates in the opposite direction. The person inside with some luck a person can control where the ball is heading. Before getting in I would prefer my stomach to be empty, just in case. There’s a video on the buzzball in action just follow the link
Arcattack are the creators of the Singing Tesla Coils. They use a unique DJ set up to generate amazing audio visual performances. The Tesla coils act like instruments.
Joe DiPrima and Oliver Greaves designed and constructed these Tesla Coils while the music is developed by John DiPrima and Tony Smith.
It took thousands of oranges to make these very juicy sculptures. Too bad organic sculptures don’t last long. Soon after assembly they start to decompose and smell very bad. I’m getting hungry just by looking at them and thirsty when I think about orange juice.
Who needs plaster and rocks to fix the old crumbling building in Italy when you can use LEGO. This cool works are part of “20 Eventi” project have and been done in Bocchignano village near Rome.
This is a very cool, I mean hot PC case. At first I even though it was a microwave with a keyboard. This PC case with a built-in monitor looks fantastic too bad the microwave isn’t working anymore.
If you want to buy a sci-fi model of say Alien or Predator there’s a group of people who specialize in making them. They make big and small models with the price ranging from $7 to $3,500. The group makes the sculptures using used cars and bikes parts. Here are some of the models they have on sale.
Yves Rossy made a successful flight using his self-made jet wings on Wednesday. Now he is preparing for the flight across the English channel and it’s going to be shown live. The jets on the wings allow him to reach speeds of up to 300 km/h or about 180 mph. The steering is done by using the whole body. He landed using a parachute. I’m sure that after this flight we are going to see many more Fusion Men with jet powered wings.
Till now I thought a wooden mirror is something stupid and that it would never world as a mirror. I thought it would look like a piece of plywood in a nice frame but Daniel Rozen proved me wrong. He designed a wooden mirror from 830 small wooden panels controlled by a computer and connected to a small camera communicating with hundreds of tiny motors. To display dark parts the mirror uses dark brown sides of the panels and for light parts light sides of the panels are used. I think this idea is totally awesome, useless but awesome. There is a video to give you a better idea of how the mirror works
Here’s a neat new design for a vacuum cleaner. Why should we drag parts of the vacuum cleaner around the house all the time when we can wear them on our backs. This way they won’t get in the way. By the way have you noticed that the most dirtiest spot on the floor is always under the vacuum cleaner and you have to move it out of the way to vacuum that spot but as soon as you do the next dirtiest spot is once again under the vacuum. It’s so irritating. But onto the BacVac. It is powered by a fuel cell which means that there’s also no wires. To power the BacVac you’ll need to pour some ethanol and chemistry will do the rest. This is only a concept and the fuel cell technology is still to expensive to compete with regular vacuum cleaners. For now we are stuck with our regular vc’s
Today I have come across one of the most amazing videos and made by Blu and I just had to post it. It was made shot by shot and I can’t imagine how long and how much work it took to make it. I’m sure you’ll like it. I also got some sketches and street art shots form their website. The link to Blu’s website is below the video. Enjoy
