Insane Engineering

DutchTub - The Hydro-Free Hot Tub

Pretty much everyone enjoys a nice soak in a hot-tub.  It's much fun to either soak away the day's sore muscles by yourself, or enjoy some wine and companionship in a relaxing setting.

The problem that many people who are the owners, not the users of hot-tubs are the cost of running them.  The cost of the chemicals, and more importantly, the cost of heating them.  Not to mention that if you want to take it to your cabin in the mountains, you're relegated to the soft-sided propane-fired versions.

 Not so anymore.

RC Camry

Well, we've all dreamed of creating a remote-controlled car..  Not one of those little ones you see in stores, but a real, full-size one.  Well, take a buncha guys, a 1982 Camry, and a desert, and the possibilities are endless..

Watch the video after the cut.. 

 

Snow? No Problem..

Well, I don't know how many times as a kid I'd dreamed of a snowmobile car.. Four little rubber doughnuts still don't make any sense in the winter..


Well, meet the Saskatchewan Nash Metropolitan Snowmobile. 700cc's of winter goodness..

Now someone just has to make a Viper Snowmobile.. Mmmm... V10...

Webcam + Servos + Computer + Airsoft = Fun!

Mmm.. Robotic Sentry gun.. For under $50... Very cool...

Coolest Car Ad Ever!

Trust me. This goes under "insane engineering" more so that under cars...

Just too cool. :)  Rumour has it that there was like 606 takes required for everything to work "just right"..

Lost the Combination to your Masterlock?

You might recall the "bic pen opens the kryptonite U-locks"
story. (I'm not sure where it is, but it's likely to be around
here somewhere..

Well, now there's the "how to open a masterlock with a beercan" story. Definately cheaper than the spring-steel versions I've seen in the past...

Cheers!

Now thats a flashlight...

Ok, I don't understand my obsession with flashlights.. I mean, it's not a new thing for me. It's been with me since I was a little boy. There was something about that portable source of light that made the nightime walks to the barn both a bit more reassuring for what it let me see, and at the same time, much scarier for what it didn't.

Cuban Junkyard Wars...

Sweaty Mouse Palm?

So, your hand is getting a little warm while playing or surfing the net? Is your mouse constantly slipping out of your grasp during those high-intensity quake tournaments? No?

Well, me neither, but in case this is a problem for you, there's always the Mousefan!.

More Weird things to Do with Lego..

How about a 9mm Beretta?.. Most excellently done...

Oh, and how about Lego porn?

Lego really does bring out the creative in people. *grin*
