Insane Equipment

Single Tread Bike

  If you are in the market for a new motorcycle and have bags of money? The Hyanide might be for you. “You may not have room in your garage (or budget) for a dirt bike and a snowmobile and a four-wheeler. But what if one vehicle could take the place of all three? That’s the idea behind the Hyanide, a wild concept vehicle created by German designers Oliver Keller

Watercooled CPU Fan/Cooler

If you want to max out your next computer system this CPU cooling system might be what you need. “Scythe Japan has just unveiled the “Silver Knight”, a watercooled CPU fan/cooler that boasts an 8mm copper pipe for water circulation (5.7L/h), radiator, pump, and a 92mm fan. It’s compatible with all LGA 775 and Socket 745/939/940 motherboards. This device measures 130 x 126.5 x 165mm and weighs a hefty 960g.

Photovoltaic Roof Shingles

All of our homes have large roofs that soak up sunlight all day long, why not harness that energy to offset our energy costs. Photovoltaic shingles look to be a promising way to do exactly that. “Homeowners have long been able to partially power their homes with sunlight, but it meant clumsily mounting photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof. Now the latest generation of PV panels look and act much

Wearable Wrist Computer From 1984

I want one. Well….. maybe not 🙂 “Take a gander at the Seiko UC-2100. This is how far we’ve come in 22 years. Compare that monster with the Zypad WL 1000, which has WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and Linux/Windows CE. The Seiko, well, we’re lucky if it tells the time correctly.”

Forced Induction PC Cooling

Adding lights, windows and paint to a computer case is cool but a turbocharger cooling system is over the top crazy. “We thought a fast computer should have hot rod flames, working headlights, and a custom license plate. As for the cooling system, an LED case fan just wasn’t going to be original enough. Instead, our case fan is a turbocharger commonly found on late 1990’s Mitsubishi Eclipses and Eagle

Vacuum Elevator

  The Vacuum Elevator is an interesting way of lifting a small elevator cab. “When the piston gear depressurizes the area inside the cylinder above the vacuum elevator cab, the cab is then lifted by higher atmospheric pressure below the cab. The inside of the vacuum elevator cab always remains at the atmospheric pressure. As air pressure is lowered above the cab, the cab is lifted. A valve regulating inflow

Super Sky Cycle

  The Super Sky Cycle is exactly what I need to commute to work. Too bad I would need a pilots license to fly it… “Former test pilot Larry Neal of Boyd, Texas created this awesome flying machine called the Super Sky Cycle (basically a flying bike – technically a cross between a motorcycle and an autogyro). The flying bike goes as fast as 70 mph in the air and
