Most everyone wanted to have their very own awesome flying machine (preferably made in their own backyard) when they were kids. What is uncommon is someone who actually follows through with their childhood dream to one day build their very own lean mean flying machine. Wu Zhongyuan had always dreamt of owning his very own chopper. As a kid, he wanted [...]

If you really want to try something unconventional, Waterwalkers would make up for a perfect choice. The concept is much similar to the Zorb Sport, but the fact it has to be done on water surface makes it extremely challenging. Once you’ve stepped inside the ball, it rotates continuously, thereby putting every muscle in your body to work. The makers [...]

If you are tired of seeing your kids wasting their time in front of the computer playing video games then, perhaps you must do something to break the hum-drum. You can take a look at The Dareway. It’s a four-wheeled Segway Knockoff for kids ideally who are five and above. This will be a good to start for them to also learn how to drive vehicles [...]

Sometimes, the quest for respect makes people move mountains. Or simply build something special for that sense of achievement. Sometimes, it could emerge from a secret attic too! From Ryazan, 120 miles south-east of Moscow. Mikhail Pushkov did that. Fed up of the suffocating Leonid Brezhnev’s regime in Russia (USSR then), Puchkov secretly built [...]

It’s no longer biking. Or bicycling that takes eons to reach your place. A new sport Whiking has emerged with the green transport dream. This sport combines the thrill of bicycling on the road (rather tricycling) and sailing on water. With a Whike, you would sail on the road instead! It has no batteries, no engines to propel it. You only need [...]

You can always tell who it is when you’re in a plane and there is a guy who is blindfolded and whispering, “Are we there yet?” After centuries of research, which began a few decades [...]

One of the toughest jobs on earth belongs to pilots. Not merely the risk involved, but passenger safety, weather, turbulence, engine and wing safety. Ever dreamt of an aircraft that can fold its wings? An airplane that flies while in sky and moves while on road like other vehicles! Terrafugia’s The Transition, a sport aircraft design has achieved [...]

For those who live in warm regions of the world where snow is considered as manaa from the heavens, the idea of ploughing snow from the streets might be a fascinating idea. But for those who actually go through it with a shovel, ploughing snow only means two things: back ache and cold hands. The Japanese are cool in their own way, then don’t just [...]

What happens when you get caught up in the recession so bad that you opt not to use your alarm clock to wake up in the morning? You wake up and find that you’re running late for the office and there isn’t enough time for a leisurely bubble bath, not even for a quick shower. So, what can you do? This Russian man must have been watching way too [...]
