| Bright Orange Double Bunk Transforms Into A Sofa (Video) Posted: 19 Nov 2011 11:23 AM PST Double bunks are some of the coolest places to sleep in. Other than park benches in the dead of winter and the backs of taxi cabs, double bunks have a peculiar charm about them. Of course, the charm is stronger when you have a double bunk all to yourself. If you’re sharing it with another person, well, that sucks. Fighting for the top bunk isn’t really fun. Ever seen the movie Stepbrothers when they built their own double bunk beds?

| Legacy Of Pain: The Crashed Ferrari Coffee Table Posted: 19 Nov 2011 11:12 AM PST Nobody in their right mind would invest in a totaled Ferrari. Then again, designer extraordinnaire Charly Molinelli probably doesn’t have his head screwed right, which is usually a good thing in the design milieu. What he just came up with is a real nice addition to any off-kilter living room. As seen below, the agonized contours of a Ferrari that was probably an Autobot in its previous life (before getting mauled by Megatron) was further crushed and shaped to fit a box. That box was turned into a coffee table with a glass surface. So there you have it, a Ferrari in your living room.

| Ride Into The Sunset With A Motorized Wheelrider Posted: 19 Nov 2011 10:57 AM PST So basically the intrepid rider slips their feet inside each wheel and zooms away. The top speed is a capable 20mph. That’s not exactly fast and furious, but it’s enough for essential errands like buying Cheetos. Another interesting aspect of this Wheelrider, which is powered y a two horsepower engine, is it can support a 200 pound person. This is great news for fat kids, but the morbidly obese may have to settle on a Segway.

| Keep It Deadly Cool With A Shiny Gentleman’s Hidden Knife Posted: 19 Nov 2011 10:47 AM PST Knives are fast becoming an anachronism these days, which is too bad. Thanks to soda cans, bottle caps, and junk food, few situations in everyday life call for knives. Unless, of course, you’re slicing salami or gutting fish. Oh well, kids these days would much rather OD on Modern Warfare than learn real skills. Seen below is a stylish take on the pocket knife. It’s funny, because the product page says ‘Gentleman’s Hidden Knife’ but it’s unlikely gentlemen would bother carrying one around. Gentlemen prefer monocles, y’hear? Monocles and handlebar moustaches to be specific.

| Ultra Lightweight Metal Could Usher Engineering Renaissance Posted: 19 Nov 2011 10:42 AM PST In what amounts to a huge scientific achievement the world will forget about in a couple of days, esteemed nerd journal Science has published the exciting research conducted by California-based HRL Laboratories. The scientists involved have developed an ultra-lightweight metallic structure that can almost float in mid-air. That’s ‘almost.’ What’s astonishing about it is a new era of lightweight material for different products may result thanks to Dr. Schaedler and co.’s work.

| iCow – Kenya’s Mobile Phone App for Cattle Farmers Posted: 19 Nov 2011 08:54 AM PST In a country where almost everyone makes a living off the land, a useful mobile phone app would be one that helps farmers increase their productivity. This is how Su Kahumbu, an organic farmer from Kenya, explains how she started developing her program. The iCow allows cattle farmers to register each of their cows individually. In turn, they can get SMS for every registered bovine that contains veterinary advice on care and feeding. It also offers a database of agricultural experts and sends out current market prices for cattle.

| Design of Future Flying Robots Possibly Based on Dragonflies Posted: 18 Nov 2011 11:28 PM PST Scientists sometimes look to nature for inspiration and for flying robots the likely model seems to be the lowly dragonfly. The research is being conducted by a team from Duke University in cooperation with another group from Howard Hughes Medical Institute. The aim is to better understand the intricacies of how the insect manages flight and from there possibly derive insights for designing future robotic airborne machines or vehicles.
