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 ...

Found on Flickr user Andi Butler’s page, I like the look of these Star Wars cupcakes due to their aged and rustic design. Instead of happy Yoda with happy colors, we get sort of a dystopian, Warhol-styled set of characters on top of delicious-looking cupcakes. No seriously, these cupcakes look really tasty. Hit the jump to see the cast of ...

Whoa, whoa. Hold up. The title of this post could be seen as deceptive. I swear, these are not my intentions. I just had to show you Nick Dean’s LEGO creation that features a vending machine made out of LEGOs. There’s a bill reader included on the side and even mini-plastic packaging for the ammo clips and supplies that await ...

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 ...

Here at Gearfuse, we can never fulfill our monthly quota of toilet paper related posts, but boy do we try. Speaking of toilet paper, one can never have enough toilet paper holders. Here’s a bathroom buddy kindly providing you with pampering services while it, too relieves itself on the John. It’s a hand-made, 7-inch tall sculpture which possesses a keen ...

Building a car from a kit is nothing new. Open any modern auto magazine and you’ll find plenty of that crap in the classifieds. But when one man goes above and beyond to turn a 2001 Mercury Cougar into a fully-functional, stylish Audi R8, well, that’s magic. While there’s just some things that can’t be copied, overall this car looks ...

I wish my father had bought me a ROMP as a child. The Remotely Operated Mobile Platform, ROMP for short, is a remote control vehicle designed for military use. It can shoot stuff with a paintball gun, listen in on conversations, blow up IEDs and so much more. Think of it as a Radio Shack R/C car jacked up on ...

Listen, dude. Forget everything you heard about the iPhone. Forget the apps, forget the voice recognition calling, forget everything because all of its capabilities and features have just been outdone. A Japanese software engineer named Kazu Terasaki has given his iPhone the ability to walk. Yes, he’s turned his iPhone into a kick ass robot that takes baby steps. Because ...

Anyone who claims that fashion and LEGOs don’t mix is lying through their teeth. That, and they obviously have never seen this video by Fabrice Pathier. It’s a CGI animation of a LEGO fashion show. It features actual designs from fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. While I’ve never heard the name because I’m out of the fashion loop, the video ...

I’m constantly in search of the strangest lamps and light sources for my bedroom. The solar vertical lamp is much different than your traditional lamp. For one thing, there’s no bulb or electricity powering it. It’s a light source integrated into your window’s vertical blinds that has solar panels on one side that power a LED floor/table lamp or a ...
