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.

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.

Of course that doesn’t factor in having to stop every 40 miles to add in more coffee grinds and then every 60 miles to change the coffee filters. I’m going to assume you are buying pre-ground coffee and not grinding your own beans, cause that would be just silly. But at least the car probably smells fantastic. You can make back some of that extra cost by saving on car air fresheners and of course coffee breaks.

A while back we had a piece about the power of using LEDs in photography. In that article we had a very primitive LED ring light. In this guest post, Tim Brook shares a much better way to create a LED ring light.

Browsing through the dealextreme website, I came across these LED car headlight rings and thought that they’d be ideal for making a Macro Lighting Ring so I placed my order and had a go.

Maker Adam Kumpf from the design firm Teague in Seattle demonstrates a DIY soft conductive stylus for use with an iPhone, iPad, or any other device with a capacitive touch screen.

We’ve been experimenting with conductive foams and fabrics in search of a middle ground. Fortunately, it’s quite easy to make a soft, conductive writing tool using some pretty basic materials. All you need is a pencil, an anti-static sock (such as this one, with X-Static in the foot area which contains conductive silver thread), and some patience to cut and sew it all together.

The table has an exceptional amount of characters and details from Super Mario 3. We’re talking scenes from all of the game’s 8 worlds, each of which has 10 enemies, a Mario and a pair of items, 7 Koopa Kids and a Bowser castle at each end with the 7 Kings in the middle of the table. To top it off (literally) Dan put -8 coats of urethane on top to seal it against even the most aggressive beer ponger.

Check out the highly detailed making of and walkthrough video:

Well done Dan.

Instead of just letting another weekend go by without doing something great with your time.  Now you can pick up a kit to create your own bristle-covered companion.  The Brush Robot may not be a big talker, but he’ll listen to you all day long.  He has moving eyes and can sweep across the floor while you kick back and relax.  He requires 2 AAA batteries to keep him up and running.  You can purchase him for £15.00 or about $23 from the ScienceMuseum.
