Electric Motorcycle – MotoCzysz

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

MotoCzysz has a prototype electric motorcycle that they have recorded a video of it being treadmill tested. The thing that blew me away was how quick it was. I have heard lots of things about electric motors and how much torque they have not to mention how fast they can accelerate, but to see it in action gave me goosebumps.

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

OMFG! Being a huge Halo geek for many years now, my jaw hit the floor when I came across this video. The video breaks down a budget-minded way ($100) of crafting your own Halo Master Chief armor. The downside is that it could take you up to a year to build it as it is fairly detailed and has a lot of steps to complete it. If I had the space to dot this, I would. In fact, I am thinking I might make my back porch my workshop. Unfortunately, my neighbors all happen to be a bunch of old fogies, and they whine about everything.
