Slap Bracelets Are Back!!!
January 25, 2008 · Leave a Comment

This is retro futuristic at its best. Take an outdated fashion from the 80’s, i.e. slap bracelets and turn them into something pretty cool. These E-Paper Slap Bracelets operate off kinetic energy and display photos without needing a recharge. However, like anything from Yanko Design, it’s but a concept.
Gundam Robot Too Pricey
January 14, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Care to spend a $725 million on a life-sized Gundam robot? If Yay, then hang around as it isn’t ready yet but chances are bright as a Japanese site has literally listed an estimate cost of this giant humanoid that will stand 60 feet tall. And this colossal price tag doesn’t included the cost of labor nor does it include the cost of the infrastructure needed to support the machine once you are ready to climb aboard and take it for a walk. Moreover if you think that after paying so much you can fly this robot or utilize its fancy weapons then sorry to say that this Gundam will only be able to walk. However a 43-ton robot of would face a number of physical challenges, such as the inability to walk without completely destroying the ground surface beneath its feet. An IBM Blue Gene supercomputer would serve as the Gundam’s computer system ($1.5 million), and its movements would be driven by 30 giant 400KW motors — 12 in the legs, 2 in the torso, 14 in the arms, and 2 in the neck. A 400KW motor is quite powerful by comparison; the Shinkansen bullet train uses a 300KW motor. The motors alone would cost $7.8 million. Roll over to read thru precise cost listing

Porsche’s Kinderbob Sled
December 3, 2007 · Leave a Comment
Here we have the Porsche “Kinderbob” sled. It comes with metal runners, a working horn, and enigmatic Porsche styling. You can’t pick these up from the US Porsche stores, but if you motor to the German site, you can plunk down an affordable €65 (or about $95) and probably get it in time for the holidays.
