I ran across another slick video of the light-interactive pool table, the Obscura Cuelight. We ran a video of the table back in September. The new vid which has resurfaced, shows that they’ve added some new background effects and there’s a glimpse of the remote touchpad used for changing the scenery. Gizmodo pins the table [...]

D&D room
March 10th, 2010 · No Comments · amazing, clever, entertainment, odd
A Dungeon Master builds a dungeon for his heated D&D games complete with light dimmer, background music and fog machine. It’s a great theme for a small room of this sort. But somewhere, someone will raise an eyebrow.
Have a look at this great room here.
Hmm. No clock.

Tron Legacy official trailer #2
March 10th, 2010 · No Comments · amazing, entertainment, video
I guess movie studios are in fact releasing trailers by twos. This #2 trailer really doesn’t have a lot of meat behind it but it gives us a plot synopsis. It’s good to know that the story continues and that there’s a role for Jeff Bridges’ character. The movie is scheduled for December of this [...]

New Zealander Rudy Heeman has been showing off his latest garage invention, a home-built hovercraft which gets airborne at about 43 mph (70 kph). No seatbelt for the lady???

Using 100% of the runway
March 4th, 2010 · No Comments · amazing, bizarre, how-to, video
A fully loaded Russian cargo plane takes off from the Canberra, Australia Airport’s runway. All of the runway. From the beginning to the very end. In its entirety. The whole thing.
Shot from the control tower, the ATCs’ comments are worth noting. The good stuff starts at 0:50.

After losing his lower jaw to cancer, Roger Ebert was left without the ability to eat, drink or speak. But now, a company in Scotland has perfected a speech synthesized voice using samples of Roger’s previous film reviews dialogue. He recently demoed his beta version voice on the Oprah show.

Napier Deltic engine – almost a rotary
March 3rd, 2010 · No Comments · amazing, automotive, clever, odd, video
The Napier Deltic engines are triangulary shaped power plants with each bay having 3 cylinders, 6 pistons and 3 cranks. Each cylinder has two pistons that approach top-dead-center at the same time. Confusing? Perhaps. But you’ll get a better idea of the concept in this video demonstration:
Wikipedia has more on this engine with a neat [...]

Yellow bucket car

Found this on a Russian website. Pictures of a roadster-like car shaped like a bucket complete with handle, powered by a radial engine. If this is Photoshop or Illustrator, it’s a damn good job.

Power lines vs. tree branch
March 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · amazing, bizarre, video
If you’ve ever felled a tree, you’ve probably heard that distinctive moan the wood gave off as it toppled over. It’s one of perhaps two “personal” sounds that trees make. The other is this unfortunate and obviously green branch which found itself across some power lines. It screams and whistles as it’s being cooked.
