This post is almost half a Retromodo, in that compressed air cars have been peddled by companies like MDI for the last 20 years. But this compressed air-powered pod, the AirPod, is all new. The three-seater is powered by MDI's proprietary compressed air system, which uses electricity to force the air to power the engine's pistons. The car might appear in U.S. cities by 2010, and possibly India and Europe a bit sooner.
The range, as expected, is quite limited. The AirPod gets up to about 40 mph, and goes approximately 130 miles between charges.
Once the tank is depleted, refilling it is described as "extremely quick" if you happen to have a specialized compressed air filling station handy. Otherwise, you'll have to fill up using a traditional home air compressor.
Lo elegí porque es una buena idea y muestra como serán los autos del futuro
El WoW MMO Gaming Mouse hace que desperdiciar tu tiempo sea aún más divertido
10 / 10 / 2008
Como si pasar días enteros jugando World of Warcraft no fuera lo suficientemente anti productivo, SteelSeries hará las cosas aún más fáciles, cómodas y divertidas. El World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse fue desarrollado en asociación con Ideazon (y con permiso de Blizzard). Ofrece 15 botones programables, ubicados alrededor del aparato, que pueden ser configurados desde el propio juego para que cada uno ejecute precisamente lo que necesitas. Permite grabar diferentes perfiles, y las luces LED en la parte posterior pueden ser configuradas en más de 16 millones de colores diferentes. Aunque sea cómodo y atractivo, no esperes que este periférico realice tu trabajo, porque no funciona con macros que obtengan oro mientras tú sólo miras a la pantalla. Saldrá a la venta el 13 de noviembre, al mismo tiempo que la actualización Lich King, por un precio "inferior a 100 dólares".
Lo elegí porque me gustó el modelo
GE builds an OLED printer, hopes to challenge light bulbs in 2010

Maybe the incandescent light bulb has been sitting in its socket-shaped throne for too many years -- GE thinks so, anyway. GE R&D guys have produced a machine that prints OLED materials newspaper-style onto 8-inch sheets of metal foil in hopes that the sheets -- which can be pinned to just about any surface -- will start the process of home lighting biz regime change in 2010. Picture, if you will, wallpaper or window blinds that provide soft, diffused lighting for the living room after dark -- no need for special fixtures, just a wall plug. OLED lighting isn't yet cost-efficient for the average consumer, but GE hopes that will change soon. In the meantime, expect to see these sheets in a trip-out Flaming Lips concert in the somewhat-near future.
