UAV multikopter tar passagerare
UAV och bemannad står givetvis i kontrast till varandra men här har några tyska robotforskare utgått från en multikopter UAV och försett den med en passagerarplats.
Styrningen sker fortfarande från marken så passageraren är helt i händerna på UAV-operatörens välvilja och kunskap. Notera hur dämpningen utgörs av en pilates gymboll.

Armborst som skjuter snöbollar
Vintern närmar sig med stormsteg och med den här prylen kan du se fram emot de kalla vinterdagarna då det nalkas snöbollskrig runt var och vartannat hörn.
Det här är nämligen något så udda som ett armborst som kan skjuta snöbollar. Du placerar snöbollen i skopan i fram, spänner hanen och kan sedan skjuta iväg din vinterammunition nästan 20 meter långt.

Plus Fours Routefinder, 1920s
‘The Plus Fours Routefinder was designed to be worn on the wrist, and the “maps” were printed on wooden rollers which were turned manually while driving. The device was intended to allow drivers to navigate around the UK, but with so few cars on the roads it never really took off.’

The Simplified Camera
For a point-and-shoot girl like me, navigating through high-tech cameras with their various options is kinda overwhelming. I want my camera to be with all the frills, but be simple enough for me to keep the handbook away! The solution lies in the Rotor 360 Camera, a concept devised to keep menus and sub-menus easy. The design consists of a spine tabular column that brings together all the key f...

How Much Time Outside Do You Need?
One night a couple weeks ago, I ate dinner with my back to a 180-degree view of Titcomb Basin, one of the most spectacular mountain valleys I had ever seen.

During our five days in the Wind River Range, a friend said to me, “This is just...

Med en design som påminner om vadarfågeln Bar Tailed Godwit hoppas designern William Brown att hans skapelse Lockheed Stratoliner ska bli världens energieffektivaste flygplan.
Tanken är att en Lockheed Stratoliner ska kunna flyga till vilken punkt som helst på jordklotet utan att behöva tanka på vägen. Vi får hoppas att det finns bränsle vid destinationen då.

An abandoned but perfectly preserved Japanese school
Pretty much all haikyo that contain items related to the building’s past are interesting. On the odd occasion even empty structures are too. But while memory-filled houses and sorry-looking snake centres are fascinating in their own very different ways, there’s arguably something that little bit special about a long-abandoned school.
And this is especially the case when it’s an elementary...
