A Bicycle Mounted with Snowplow
Pedal power! Check out this sweet custom built bicycle snowplow. Technically a tricycle I suppose. Not wanting to break out the heavy duty snowblower for light dustings of snow (less than an inch), one intrepid garage engineer named Craig built his own leg powered snowplow. The plow itself can be lifted up or down via a rope and pulley system. Definitely more fun than shoveling! And easier on the arms and back.

iPhone 4 gets stuffed inside Canon SLR body
It seen like people just cannot get enough of iPhone 4. This is just one of the brilliant idea to improve the iPhone camera capability. It may seen not practical but it does ring the manufacturer bell. The next DSLR we seen in five years time may have the feature to attach iPhone onto it.
Anyway this DIY have the iPhone 4 slotting in with a satisfying click, while the entire lens mechanism has been shifted over to line up with the iPhone’s camera (and make room for an Apple sticker). Check out the video to have a feel of how it works.

Combination of Supercar and Superbike
This is by far the weirdest diy i ever seen. The combination of Supercar and Superbike. I wonder is the bike the one controlling the direction or is the car steering wheel responsible for it? This DIY project done by Frenchman François Knorreck, took him over a 10 year span in which he spent over 10,000 hours building it from the frame up. The combining of a car and a bike definitely involve some tricky engineering to balance it properly.
There are a total of 3 exhaust pipes. The hubs and brakes come from a VW Golf GTI, the wheels are from an Audi 80, headlights and blinkers came from BMW and Renault cars, the bike’s headlight comes from a Kawasaki 1000 RX bike, the tail lights from a Citroën Xantia car and that’s a 3CL motorcycle used. The bodywork was made from 63 custom molds.

Batman Golf Cart
Golf is getting more and more popular these days. But the design of golf cart do not seem to have much changes. This just happens to have been created by a Warner Bros employee who works in LA. This batman golf cart definitely feel more robust and fast as compare to the old type of golf cart. Hopefully his creation will soon be a part of the tour of the studio, at least it should be added. There is no current tutorial or any hint on how this was made. This is just a picture that someone captured while on the studio grounds, so there really isn’t much information at all to go with it.
