The Carver One

February 16, 2007 By MoHaK Leave a Comment

Design by a dutch company the Carver One is a engineering marvel. The technically two seat machine is balanced with a complicated control system called Dynamic Vehicle Control (DVC) system. The system uses motors instead of gravity to tilt the vehicle based on speed and acceleration. The vehicle achieves a jet fighter type feeling when steering around corners. The Carver One reaches a top speed of 185km/hr. although not currently being sold in the United States, European models start a around $35,000.

Tired of staring at those old incandescent lights in your factory car stereo. A blog article written by Jason at yorkspace.com take you through the process of adding super bright leds to your factory head unit. Once the factory face plate is removed, the incandescent bulbs can be replaced with blue super bright leds. With some leds, resistors, an some wire, you could change the overall effect of the factory head unit. This is a slick and cheap hack.

Build you own Segway

March 13, 2006 By MoHaK 1 Comment

Segway copy

The original balancing scooter I made in late 2002 had some shortcomings, so in January 2005 I set out to make a better one. Version 2 is faster, lighter, smoother, and has more range. It has 3 inches more ground clearance, it’s an inch narrower so it fits through doorways better, and it has a much better steering system.

I you ever wanted to build a segway? Here you go. This guys first attempt was not good enough, so he decided to REBILD. You could see some photos of the scooter in action.

Weaponized AutoCopter

March 12, 2006 By MoHaK Leave a Comment

weponized Autocopter

First, to Defense Review’s knowledge, the basic NRI AutoCopter is currently one of the most advanced/innovative unmanned mini-helicopters in the world, and one of the two best unmanned mini-helicopters for under $100,000 (the other is made by Rotomotion, LLC). What’s so innovative about it? Well, for starters, the AutoCopter is…

self-stabilized, using patented “intelligent” neural network-based flight control algorithms (fancy engineer-speak for “automated flight controls”) to allow anyone to fly the AutoCopter with little to no previous remote-control (RC) piloting experience. These automated flight controls make the AutoCopter the easiest mini-unmanned helicopter to to fly, and the hardest to crash. Basically, the AutoCopter’s neural networked-based automatic flight control system won’t allow the pilot to do anything catastrophic (a.k.a. stupid).

What they think of in Alabama. How would you like to see this flying down your street. I don’t know if I would pay 100k for it, but maybe the military will. I wonder how many hunters are drooling over this high-flying assassin. A hunter would never have to leave the campsite to shoot an elk.

Bionic Dolphin, performance submersible watercraft

March 9, 2006 By MoHaK Leave a Comment

Bionic Dolphin
This watercraft has amazed me ever since I saw it on Monster Garage. Its amazing, capable of high speeds, underwater dives, and massive aerial tricks. The dolphin works like a jet fighter, it uses its airfoils to steer and dive. This would be cool to take on the lake. I would sure hate to hit something underwater. It is amazing to watch the demo and see how capable this watercraft is.
