Anyone Interested In Riding The 28-Wheel Truck?

28 wheel truck

Ok, so here’s a question for you people.

What vehicle has 28 monster wheels, is 20m in length, and has a weight of about 130 tonnes?

This truck is that wonder vehicle. Built to carry 115-tonne telescope parts, up at a distance of 5,000m, this thing sure boasts as much power as two Formula One cars.

Since, it has been built to carry heavy components at a great height, the driver will surely face lack of oxygen. Keeping that in mind, the driver’s seat has been designed, such that the driver can sit easily with an oxygen tank.

Who Feels Like Adding A Slight ‘Spike’ To Their Espresso?

Spiked Esperesso

For those of you, who need an extra spike in their Espresso, this Saeco Etienne Louis is more than happy to help you do just that.
This spiky machine, is basically constructed with steel, and has aluminum ‘spikes’ around it. The sphere, has a water heating compartment, that is hidden.

A great and dangerous design, this thing sure does look like a beauty to me. However, what it makes up for in look, it lacks in performance :P
This thing, can only pump out, a maximum of 2 cups of Espresso at a time. So, I have reason to believe that the third guest has to wait for some time, before he can feel ‘spiked’.

Control Your KeyBoard And Mouse Without Your Hands Using Lomak Light

Buy and Sell text links

Lomak light

Well, Lomak seriously may seem a bit awkward name for a gadget. But, this is probably the first word, that has some meaning attached to it. Lomak (Light Operated Mouse and Keyboard), is the ultimate in hands free computer control.

For those who find the traditional keyboard and mouse odd or difficult, here’s a new twist.

So, Lomak, is operated via your hand, or head. The users, aim a beam of light, at a pad that has numbers and letters in a rotary style. The numbers/letters appear on the screen, as the light passes through it.

There is absolutely no requirement for any special software or any extra calibration. Moreover, it does not change the UI of your existing programs.

As far as I know, this thing is just an idea, a concept. However, I’d love to see and use it physically.
Not sure if it works for FPS (First Person Shooter) games. Imagine watching a person shaking his head in violent frenzy to try and kill another player :P

Timecap USB Drive. Something Apart From The Normal

Timecap1

At a first glance, I thought this was just another joke from the tech designers, to take a break from their usual boring (eek!) work.
Pretty much looks like a small tray, or something of the sort that is designed to carry as much of ash as you can.

However, this ‘meaningless’ thing in the picture, is unique USB Drive, that is designed to last for one hell of a lifetime.

timecap2

Just a design concept, and not for sale anywhere yet, this thing sure does catch one’s attention for the fact that it has a unique look to it. Though, it is/was meant to be a capsule type design, people have mistaken it for an ash tray, and seems to me, that they want to stick to their first assumptions :P

What say guys?
