CrazyBuilders – Propeller Powered Skateboard

28 06 2009

If you ever watched A Pup Named Scooby-Doo you probably hate cartoon babyfication, but also probably wondered when someone was going to make a rocket propelled skateboard…

Unfortunately, as Ryan puts it, rocket propellers might be a little too dangerous to be placed on a wooden board that could go flipping around hitting the fuel tank and exploding on thin air. BUT, a fan propelled one is fine too.

CrazyBuilders is run by Ryan Bavetta, ex-MIT student that runs DIY-like projects and “how it works” videos.

Check the Instructables website to see how to do the water bottle mobile speakers.

Is this convergence or what?
Well, maybe it’s just a sign that we’re slowly walking towards Wall-E’s future.

Gaping Hole Costume

5 03 2009

An interesting idea to create a convincing Halloween costume…

..simulating a gaping hole made with… say… a shotgun?
If you didn’t get it, it’s an LCD screen that displays what a camera on your back is capturing… creating a “hole” in you.
