Russian V8 Sidecar Motorcycle

  This Russian V8 Sidecar Motorcycle looks amazing. There is no gas miser engine here, the big beefy V8 engine is sure to provide all the power you can handle and then some! I have seen some huge bikes before and always thought how hard it would be to handle the thing even with the slightest lean. The sidecar solves this problem very well and provides a convenient place to

3 Engine RC Truck

  I have seen lots of full size Competition Pull Tractors with multiple motors but I have never seen a RC truck with more than one motor. The RC result by Andy Tymowicz is one cool truck that has power to spare!

Paintball Sentry Gun has Multiple Enemy Tracking

1600 Volt Can Crusher

Of course you can achieve the same results using some high voltage electronics. 🙂 Bob Davis has the right idea here, he is letting technology make his recycling life easier with his 1600 Volt Can Crusher. All it takes is 1600 volts and a bit of

Nickel-O-Matic Robot

  I love complex machines that take lots of complex technology to perform a simple task. This Nickel-O-Matic Robot waits for a coin and then uses tons of servos and stepper motors to print a cool message on a wooden token. "The system was built as a number of modules to make design and trouble shooting simpler. The most complex of the modules is the inkjet system. At the center
