Heavy Lifting Copters

  Hobby King had a great plan to get people building big lifting copters. They call it the Beer Lift but water is used as a substitute although I am sure an equal weight of beer is weighting behind the scenes for enjoying after the competition. The last video isn’t a heavy lift but make sure you watch what happens at 2:20, that is some good flying!      

Where will 3D Printing Take us?

  If you look at a modern construction site these days you don’t generally see very many craftsmen carving intricate details into the buildings, what you see are pre-manufactured sections being assembled.

Not by skilled craftsmen but by precision universal machines. I can

How Wire Braided Shielding is Made

  You have probably seen shielded wire before, when you strip the insulation off there is often a thin metal foil or tight braided wire beneath. Watch the video above to see how the Braided Shielding is Made. Turns out it is quite the elaborate mechanical machine that is involved here!

450mph Land Speed Record Project

  This project will get funded at $200,000. They are hoping to get it flying across the ground at 450mph! With dual 2000 horse power engines it has tons of power to get the job done. Good luck on Danny Thompson continuing what his father Mickey Thompson started. More Details “Streamliner Facts: The skin of the car is made-up entirely of 68 hand formed aluminum panels.

Becks Beer Bottle with an Audio Recording Scratched on it

The device is based on an Edison Cylinder but uses

Robotic Car Park inside Residential Building

  Hate parking your car in those endless winding car parking buildings? When you return to your car there are often door dings because the spaces are very small so the owner can maximize the number of cars that can be crammed into the building. What’s the solution? A robotic system where the transport and parking of your car is handled automatically! I think there are some other great uses
