Awesome Expandable Round Dining Table

For a fantastic design and space saving idea, check out the Fletcher Capstan Table. The expansion video is very cool. However, this cool table comes with a catch. It’ll cost you £25,000 to £35,000 ($50,000 to $70,000). The company’s site describes, “It is a round table which, when rotated at its outer perimeter, amazingly doubles its seating capacity and, just as astonishingly, remains truly circular. Very importantly it stores its expansion leaves within itself. Existing tables can seat six persons when small, and twelve or more when expanded, but there are other design possibilities. The operation, which has been described as “pure magic” by Boat International magazine, "really is a sight to behold and extremely quick, it takes only three seconds to complete an entire expansion or reduction cycle."

WaterCar Panther - Fastest Amphibious Car in the World

WaterCar.com introduces the Fastest Amphibious Car in the World and will begin taking orders July 1st. 2013! Enjoy!  Special thanks to Fountain Valley Body Works for Building and Designing such an amazing vehicle. Fountain Valley Bodyworks voted Best Autobody shop in Orange County, California! 4 years in a row! 

In 1999, WaterCar started as a personal challenge to build the world's fastest amphibious vehicle. Our early WaterCars were purpose-built vehicles, to be very fast on both land and water. After January, 2010, when Watercar established the Guinness amphibious speed record with our Python model, our attention turned to reliability and we began designing a vehicle to offer to the public. Fourteen years, countless successes and failures, 27 patents and untold labor hours later, our personal challenge has been achieved. The Panther, our first WaterCar to be offered to the public, was created by our Watercar team which is made up of top designers and technicians from Fountain Valley Bodyworks, one of the largest, most state-of-the-art collision repair shops in the nation. Throughout the Panther's development, the commitment was to engineer a versatile amphibious vehicle built with proven off-the-shelf components that are recognizable throughout the automotive and marine industry. Our Watercar team has achieved that goal. 

During our development years, we were continuously approached by people around the world who wished to purchase a WaterCar. While we were flattered by the apparent market acceptance, we did not feel we had attained a level of reliability and maintainability consistent with our personal standards and those of our prospective buyers. It was difficult to say no for all those years, but the team was adamant that they would not sell a product that they would not purchase themselves. In 2013, the team realized the Panther achieved the quality, reliability, and maintainability that allowed them to offer the Panther for purchase. 

Each Panther is a custom vehicle built by a incredible team of professionals who take great pride in what they build and how it ultimately performs. Each one is unique. We encourage each buyer's active participation in the final appearance of their vehicle. The range of interior and exterior fabrics, colors, and graphics is unlimited. WaterCar's ultimate goal is to build a vehicle that is a source of enjoyment to you and an ongoing source of pride to us. 

We look forward to working with you to build your dream Panther! 
Sincerely,
Your WaterCar Team

The very first Electric Tilt Rotor Aircraft Technology

European helicopter manufacturer AgustaWestland, a Finmeccanica Company, at present introduced its “Project Zero” tilt rotor technology demonstrator, delivering an understanding of exactly what advanced rotorcraft of the future may possibly look like. This, however, is not a paper study. The technology demonstrator was developed and built in less than 6 months as well as has already quietly flown many times in 2011 and also 2012, demonstrating AgustaWestland’s advanced rotor-craft technology. The tilt rotor technology demonstrator is totally electrically powered; intended to hover similar to a helicopter as well as transform to a fixed wing aircraft in forward thanks to its two integrated rotors which can be tilted by greater than 90 degrees. The demonstrator worked its first unmanned tethered flight in June 2011 at AgustaWestland’s Cascina Costa facility in Italy and has since performed untethered hovering flights inside a properly secured area.

Gibbs Quadski - Vehicle for Water and Land

The Quadski is a dual purpose vehicle; it can be used both water and land. Quadski reaches speeds of 45mph on both water and land and transitions between them in seconds. At the press of a button the Quadski's wheels deploy when approaching land and retract after entering the water. Previously, no commercially available amphibian has been able to exceed 10 mph on water. The difference is the breakthrough GIBBS patented technology provides unique on-water performance. Unmatched freedom on water AND land, and rapid in transition - Quadski sets a new standard in flexibility, freedom and fun for personal watercraft.

Meet OrbitWheel

Like a cross between a skateboard and inline skates, but with more freedom and simplicity than either, the Orbitwheel is a brand new concept for wheeled sports. The design is simple: two feet, two wheels and you're ready to go. The Orbitwheels concept is basic, but with the wheels whirling around your feet, you are capable of countless tricks and maneuvers that can be as complex and creative as you can come up with.

How do Google Glasses work?

Google Glass (styled "GLΛSS") is a wearable computer with an optical head-mounted display (OHMD) that is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and development project, with a mission of producing a mass-market ubiquitous computer.  Google Glass displays information in a Smartphone-like hands-free format, that can communicate with the Internet via natural language voice commands. 

While the frames do not currently have lenses fitted to them, Google is considering partnerships with sunglass retailers such as Ray-Ban or Warby Parker, and may also open retail stores to allow customers to try on the device. The Explorer Edition cannot be used by people who wear prescription glasses, but Google has confirmed that Glass will eventually work with frames and lenses that match the wearer's prescription; the glasses will be modular and therefore possibly attachable to normal prescription glasses. 

Glass is being developed by Google X, which has worked on other futuristic technologies such as driverless cars. The project was announced on Google+ by Project Glass lead Babak Parviz, an electrical engineer who has also worked on putting displays into contact lenses; Steve Lee, a product manager and "geolocation specialist"; andSebastian Thrun, who developed Udacity as well as worked on the autonomous car project. Google has patented the design of Project Glass. Thad Starner, an augmented reality expert, is a technical lead/manager on the project.

Days of the Future Glass Technology

Here is another conceptual video created by Corning Incorporated in "A day made of glass." It goes through what would be your typical day scenario waking up at your beautiful luscious estate, by your wife with model good looks, as the photovoltaic glass reveals yet another perfect day in pleasantville. 

Followed by various interactions with every piece of glass you encounter throughout the day being touch sensitive, electronic enabled displays. This is a novel idea and as for as long as I can remember has been a common representation of the future where all surfaces are interactive. 

While the concept was focused around the future of glass, I would've loved to see some other future elements incorporated into the video like hovering cars that drive themselves, holographic communication, or omelet ready hybrid bell peppers with infused eggs substitute. How soon do you think this glass future will be a reality, and what future elements would you like to include?

The Aston Martin One-77, Bentley Continental GT and Mercedes SLS have been launched at the Arabian Travel Market. 

Last month, Dubai's police chief said that a number of Ferraris to be introduced to the force will be driven by female officers. Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan tweeted that he expected to see Dubai Police's female recruits getting behind the wheels of the Ferrari FF supercar, which costs about $500,000 and has a top speed of 335 mph. Earlier, Dubai Police also revealed its new AED2m ($500,000) Lamborghini which can reach speeds of up to 350 mph. Dubai Police's fleet also includes the Toyota Land Cruiser and the Kia Mohave.

Meet Jetlev the Water Jet Pack

The jet pack in the video runs off of water. It's the first of its kind. The tube you see attached to it, that goes into the water, goes into a gas powered small boat that follows whenever the jet pack pilot is flying (if you look close in the video you can see it).

The jet pack itself is super safe. It's actually approved for the water by the coast guard, and there is nothing illegal about it. You need to be at least 18 years old to fly it. It takes about 30 minutes to an hour of training, and then you're set. These water jet packs are going on sale very soon, and you can contact the company to get on their waiting list. You can contact them here jetlev.com. And you can find out a lot more about them on the website.

The jet pack is able to fly purely by the volume of water that comes out of the two hoses that are attached to it. It shoots out 10 times more water volume then a fire hydrant does. You can stick your hand right where the water comes out, and you won't get hurt at all, as you can see several times in the video.

Michelin X-Tweel Wheel SSL Durability Test

The Tweel (a portmanteau of tire and wheel) is an experimental tire design developed by the French tire company Michelin. Its significant advantage over pneumatic tires is that the Tweel does not use a bladder full of compressed air, and therefore it cannot burst nor become flat. Instead, the Tweel's hub connects to flexible polyurethane spokes which are used to support an outer rim and assume the shock-absorbing role of the compressed air in a traditional tire.
