I love to watch Roberta Mancino spread em. ‘Em’ meaning the wings of her Turbulenza …
If you haven’t spent a few immersive hours at an aquarium or two you haven’t had much of a childhood. Or an adulthood. Growing up with the promise that I’d soon get to visit Shamu at Miami Seaquarium was the main reason I carried on with my life from ages 6 to 7. But enormous Orcas are just one aquarium attraction at your visual disposal. Another, perhaps rarer sight to behold would be the animated jellyfish of Monterey Bay Aquarium in California. (more…)
Jaguar seems to have made a fortune off producing “old people” cars. Whenever I see a Jaguar it’s usually parked in the Handicapped spot, with a cane visible through the windshield. Apparently someone gave the company a heads up on the joke as they’ve decided to boost the looks on their latest concept. The Jaguar XKX features a look very different from any other car today. At the front of the XKX, two large vents provide passage of air from the front of the car, through the center, and back over the rear wheels. It took Jaguar numerous hours of research to find out that side mirrors are the second most destroyed part during vandalism, so the 1 cm thick side mirror folds into the side into a barely visible hatch and open up when the car is started.

With gas prices going through the roof and Tron Legacy giving the main character a super futuristic sport bike, it’s no wonder cyclists are looking to go green in style. Unfortunately, the concept of the Naked Electrocycle, or “BOLT” seems to be made solely in gray. But on a non-satirical note, this bike does combines fuel efficiency and power, everything a real man wants in his life. This motorcycle isn’t like your big, loud Harley Davidson with the long chrome exhaust and leather bags on the sides. (more…)
We all wish we could fly more. Admit it, you’ve always wanted to own your own plane. Actually, that may be a little too extreme; do you know how much it costs to maintain a plane? That, along with the high price tags of private planes and the intimidating instability of microlights leaves potential pilots left out in the cold. For those not quite adventureous enough to fly a microlight and who don’t have the flow to buy a Cessna, there is the very recent and still work-in-progress class of planes known as Light Sport Aircraft.

As much as I hate to admit it, for those that work in busy cities or don’t have the current capital for a car, bicycles are the next best thing. But having to deal with storing and securing your vehicle can be a hassle. Luckily there is Donut Bike, a unique concept bicycle which folds in on itself to become a circular, transportable case. This practical invention calms the worries of locking up and the hassle of managing heavy, awkward bicycles. (more…)
The U Transfer USB stick, a nifty concept design which aims to eliminate the problem of sharing files without a computer. This device would allow people to attach similar USBs to each other and transfer documents and information between USBs. Hopefully the device will have a tocuhscreen to allow users to just touch and send files. (more…)

Finding your bicycle in a crowded bike rack can be slow and maddening. Thankfully designer the Acoustic-Optical Bicycle Lock makes searching for a bike in a crowded lot a thing of the past. (more…)
Upsettingly, the Human Signal is not a new superhero to be unveiled in the next Avengers. But it will play a role in helping justice and maintaining the peace. The Human Signal, better described as the Tex-Vest Human Traffic Light, is a wearable jersey with LEDs that light up depending on your specific hand movements. The lights are green, red and yellow purposely meant to resemble a traffic light because the majority of its use will be for police officers regulate traffic. (more…)
