Throwable Fire Extinguisher

Bonex SAT 119 is a fire extinguisher that keeps people out of harm. On impact the cartridge breaks and the chemical disperses over the fire extinguishing it… the video demonstrates it best…

Caterham Superlight R500

There are a lot of cars that are jaw-dropping fast but few that hit the price point of the Caterham. The new Superlight 500 is a 263 hp motor in a 1000 pound package for 67k. The new 500 is striped on all of the “luxury” items to save weight and put horsepower on the [...]

Bottle Lock

Carrying a massive lock on a bike has always been difficult and there are a couple product designers tackling the product design. This is the first one that makes sense, and at only $34. Made by Küat Racks

Rogue Designs

True gear-head jewelry, if you have long arms and deep pockets… No doubt that this stuff is beautifully engineered, out of titanium no less, but do you really have to put a logo on every flat area visible. Even if I had the available funds I wouldn’t want my jewelry to look like a fun-run [...]

Böhm Stirling

Conceived originally as a holiday gift for clients these desktop engines are a beautiful mix of art and engineering. Check out the site to see more pieces and learn about the process or build your own. These guys would kill it at SEMA.

“The principle of the Stirling motor is very old…and very simple! Over 2000 [...]

Monorail

Human powered monorail called the Shweeb is a concept in lower emissions and is currently used in a amusement park in New Zealand. Is it realistic enough to be used everyday? Very arguable, but it seems like a smarter way to get around and feel like a hamster.

Tough Tire

Resilient Technologies developed a tire for the Army to help save lives. Although they currently use run flat tires on their Humvees they needed something that could resist road side bombs as well as gunfire. These airless tires are built with a honeycomb structure that combines the wheel and tire as one unit. The tires [...]

Lito Sora

A truly technical piece of machinery. Featuring a GPS, ride height positioning, regenerative braking and aluminum chassis. Priced at around 44k I’m not sure these will be flying off the shelves since there are a lot of competitors with machines for a quarter the cost. The design, however is unmistakable and they have certainly captured [...]

FreeRider SkateCycle

Ok, so we happened upon this on Uncrate and had to find the video to get more details…

The Mediocrity

Brilliant new campaign that makes beige the new, well, beige. Subaru pokes fun at sedans and their “individuality.” or lack there-of.

“The Mediocrity mission is to manufacture the most mainstream mid-size sedan on the road today. Our company is extremely dedicated and passionate about “middle-of-the-road.”
