Tank for Rental

If you have a special occasion coming up and you want something cool and different to do then Tank Limo has the answer. They used to cruise around the UK in pink Abbot which was a tank, painted pink and a bit of an eye catcher. The problem with that tank is that only a few people could fit in it. Along came a new project which took parts from 30 different tanks they had laying around. They removed a few parts such as a mine layer, painted it gloss white, installed a couple of DVD players and a fridge and totally kitted out the interior. It looks quite cool and definitely a tad different from the usual limos you see driving around on a Friday and Saturday night in the UK. One more pic after the jump.

The Motor Shoes have been named the “smallest motor vehicle”. They are basically a set of wheels that you stand on and you then just control where you want to go.

If you are a fan of Michael Jacksons Thriller then you should have a good laugh at the Lego version which was created shot for shot using Lego men, plastic trees and various other Lego bricks. I have no clue how long it took to make, but considering the thriller “movie” is over 10 minutes long it must have taken weeks of work to get the shot for shot version out of Lego made.

This chair is built by a Japanese firm and is called the Fuwapica Chair. What makes it stand out against most other chairs is that it has the ability to change colour depending on how much weight it is carrying. When a heavy person sits on the chair it turns a darker red. I am not sure who would ever want to sit on a chair like this as it would reveal your weight and could be very embarrassing.

I cant see this one catching on too quick.

The paper battery is constructed of carbon nanotubes which measure just a millionth of an inch thick. These are then embedded in to paper and soaked in liquid electrolytes. These types of battery could be made useful. If you stick a few hundred together then you will get that many times of voltage output. These types of batteries can be used in side the body more safely and power devices which are needed in a pace maker for example.

More details on paper batteries can be found over at Dyscern.
