WORLD’S MOST VIOLENT STEERING WHEEL !!! – video powered by Metacafe

Thieves will have no chance with the violent steering wheel

A guy from Ohio has created a secure steering wheel which when touched it violently spins around making the car impossible to drive away. I am guessing it could also break your wrist depending on how powerful the motor that controls it is. With it being custom built there is no information if any of the car companies would use or want something like this in their cars.

Buffalo 56GB SSD drive is quite small

Buffalo have created a nice 56GB solid state drive. It measures just 57x89x14mm which is quite small. This is a great step forwards for solid state media although at this capacity it does come at a price. It will set you back $828 which is a tad higher then I would want to spend, but no doubt prices will drop as capacity increases further.

Back at the Paris motor show of 2006 a flying car was on display. As the car is unveiled it starts to float in the air and circle around the audience. No doubt you will guess how this is done, but if you are feeling a little slow today then after the jump is the explanation as given on Top Gear.

Digital Drawing Tools

Philips have created the drag and draw which is demonstrated above. It is a device which uses laser and light to project an image on to a wall. To get the image to appear you mix up colours in the colour bucket on the floor. Once you have your desired colour you paint on to the wall. Also, by pretending to cast a spell on the wall the image will be put in to a background and animated bringing it to life.

Not much of a double bed

This bed is not made for those who need to roll over to get comfortable. I have no other information on this bed, but still thought it was funny enough to mention.

The Robotic Fly is perfect for those spying missions

This little fly was built by the robotic department at Harvard university and is ideal for those missions which require a fly on the wall type presence or places where it could put some one in serious danger. The robot has been given funding by military organisations. Due to its small size, off the shelf parts could not be used. Harvard Unis robotics team had to design each piece which has been cut with laser micro machining. It is built from thin sheets of carbon fibre and polymer with tiny bearings and motors to allow it to fly.

What interests me more about this miniature robotic fly is that it does actually fly. Its wingspan is 3 cm and it weighs just 60 milligrams which is not much at all. More details about the robotic fly can be found later down this post.
