Look, I could sit here and tell you all about how this guy went and built a shed in his backyard. And then in said shed, he built a V12 Lamborghini replica from scratch. Yeah, I could tell you all about it, or you could read it for yourself at this Englishman‘s fine website, v12diablo.co.uk. He’s even posted instructions on ...

These days, cars need more of everything. More side airbags, more windows and more pistons are a good start, but if we really want to enhance a car’s performance, we need to do as Covini does and add two wheels to our cars. The Covini Six Wheeler (C6W) is a product which draws its engineering inspiration from the 1976 Tyrell ...

Straight out of the cover of a Judas Priest album, this “thing” looks to be a steampunk steed from Hell. Dubbed “Lrry,” it’s a rideable motorcycle/robo-horse constructed by the Mutoid Waste Company in London. The best part about it is it’s 100% recycled. Biker gangs will be running for the hills.

Ferrari doesn’t make motorcycles, so how did this beauty come about? It’s the product of David Kay Engineering and was made back in 1995, when times were good and Silverchair was cranking out the hits. It has a 900cc engine that outputs 105 horsepower at 8800 RPM. All you need to know is that it’s fast. The bike goes up ...

Two things are fantastic when made at home: lemonade and tanks. Two brothers from Maine built this tank they call the Ripsaw MS1. It’s controlled by two people, a driver and a gunner.

Traffic lights are an annoying but needed accessory to our daily life. When I used to drive, I’d get incredibly irritated with those new traffic lights that don’t show you what color it is until the last possible second. Now Art Lebedev is hoping to switch things up with these colorful, LED-powered square traffic lights. While red, green and yellow ...

Powering jet planes with eco-friendly biofuels such as algae has been done before and yet, I’m still being charged an arm and a leg by the airline companies who are still stuck in the past, burning up high emission jet fuels. Deep down in my heart I have always known that marijuana is not only a powerful medicine, but that ...

When one thinks of a submarine, solar energy is the furthest thing from their mind. After all, submarines dive down deep below the ocean’s surface where the sun does not shine. The Swiss energy company, BKW is a little more optimistic than myself. It’s unveiled the GOLDFISH project, which will feature the world’s first solar powered submarine. How will they ...

Looks like the art from designer Elad Barouch aka My Atomic Mass deals with excellent welding. This bike features two frames with three wheels total. The front fork, wheel and handlebars are shared by both riders. You both hop on, control the brake, kick your feet like Bob Haro and before you know it, you and your friend are see-sawing ...
