Flying cars would just remain as dreams. Not even one that we’ve heard that has made a success. Forget about those flying cars, a personal jet-powered flying wing definitely sounds more promising here. As it’s been tested at 8,000 feet above the ground. Here we come Ironman.

Yves Rossy, in Switzerland, has made an official demonstration for his jet-powered personal flying wing. He asked a plane to lift him up to 8000 feet in the sky and drop him from there to let him sail by his jet-powered flying wing. Everything had gone smoothly, the wing worked, and he’d traveled in the air for about 5 minutes, flying horizontally over the mountains at a speed of up to 186MPH before parachuting gently to the ground.

The wing is about 8 feet across, powered by 4 Jet-Cat P200 jet turbine engines, which each can output 50 pounds of thrust that allows a flight time to last up to 10 minutes. The only control of the wing is a throttle, so Yves had to control the direction of the wing entirely by his body.

The engine enables the user to ascend, which is at a rate of about 1,000 feet per minute. But it might have problem to let you take off completely from the ground. In order to fly in the sky, you’d probably need a plane to lift you up to certain height, let go to let you sail in the air on your own. It’d probably involve some complexity, at least, you’ll need to be trained to know when to parachute to the ground. I guess the device is still in the prototype stage. There are still lots of rooms for improvement, such as making it easier to operate. And safety is the main issue to be taken into consideration before it can get materialized as a commercial product.

There are some very unique companions for the Macbook Air. Besides, the Macbook paper, we have Macbook Fire, Water and Earth here. They seem to make up a perfect line of the five elements that commonly used in Feng Shui.

The Macbook Earth is surely the greenest laptop ever on earth. Its cover and almost everywhere excepts the keyboard are all grown with green grasses. It has no electrical cord, which the intention is to save power. The main power source will be from the wind and sun. It’s equipped with a phosphorescent screen that consumes extremely tiny power only. The chassis is made up of durable clay which makes it 100% biodegradable. Well, when the time to upgrade, you can just burry it in your garden which its body will contribute certain fat to soil of your garden.

The Macbook Water needs only you to possess the bottle that contains it. You’ll need to pour it out of the bottle, water molecules form its body lying flat on your desk, which you can then start typing on its watery QWERTY. The unique watery technology has a cool Apple “i” brand name called iFluid. Be sure not to store the Macbook Water under the freezing point else will void its warranty.
Macbook Fire: The processing speed is hellishly fast that causes the entire laptop on fire. But no worry, it comes with a pair of gloves which is fire-proofed so you can wear it and start typing on it’s extremely hot QWERTY. Of course, the laptop itself is to stand the test of fire as the body is built with heat-resistant material and the display is made with durable welding glass to protect your eyes.

It’s important to always stay alert with the incoming calls on our cellphones. I think you may have been into the situation that your significant other kept calling you for several times and you never noticed the calls and you two finally ended up with a big quarrel?

When I first heard of flying car, I knew that it wouldn’t be that easy to build one, and finally we wouldn’t get any solid one in the market. How many times, we’ve heard the delay or uncertainty of release of these flying vehicles before?

Moller International Inc., a company that is developing the flying car, Moller M400 SkyCar, seems to be in a financial deep shit that will jeopardize the completion of their M400 flying car. The company nows has run up more than $40.5 million in accumulated deficits. They have even auctioned the M400 prototype on eBay with a 3.5 million dollar minimum bid, hoping to generate some money for its debts.

The M400 is a flying car that relies on a computer controlled autopilot, and 8 new rotary engines which rotate for a change in axis of flight from forward to hover. Behind all these great engines and system, what you need is a strong financial support.

The company is now desperately looking for other sources of funds or loans. In the event that the company fails to source such funds or loans, the M400 will most likely be discontinued!

Don’t you know that you have to take a regular check of your car’s tires to make sure they’re all fit to run on the road? This can save you your life, a consistent check to avoid unnecessary accident that would happen due to your car’s tires have gone flat. I know for some lazy guys, even you have digital tire gauge chucked in your tool box, you wouldn’t wanna take a regular check using it. Whenever your significant other asks you to take a check, you’d probably say the tire gauge had run out of batteries.

Here comes the eco-friendly solar powered tire gauge, comes equipped with an LCD display, which lets you easily check on your car’s tires and you have no excuse anymore to say that it’s run out of batteries. Just bring it under the sun, the gadget’s solar panel shall recharge its built in lithium batteries. On its LCD screen, you can easily select the pressure settings that you’re comfortable with, including Psi, Bar, Kpa, and Kg/cm2, to determine if it’s time to fill the tires up with more air.
