This video is a must for all Batman fans, Batfans. The YouTube clip above is a good three and a half minutes long and does a good job at showing of all the Batmobiles – each one awesome in its own right.
Games Workshop build life-sized Ultramarine Rhino
The wargaming super-power have built a tank. It’s large, real and looks very tough. Check out the Games Workshop blog for more pictures. The picture below is shown as a fair use example – despite the risk of Ultramarine attack lawyers! The blog states that the rust and weathering are special effects and that a […]
This is what happens when geeks design lawn mowers
This is not the first time Geek Native has shared videos of industrial machines. We’ve had the machine that knits roads, for example. This video features a number of machines – most of them designed to cut the grass. However, these are geek out grass cutting machines. Each one likely to land a critical hit […]
Omniwheeled and remote controlled lego tank
This mink tank (aka Metal Grudge) is an example of Lego perfection. Not only is this impressive engineering – those omniwheels allow the tank to drive in any direction it wants and perform impressive changes of direction – the video is an impressive feat of photographer. You see, designer Peer Kreger designed camera cars to […]
Star Wars’ Millennium Falcon car sun shade
The niche retail site BigBadToyStore.com has a rather fetching car sun shade. Imagine you’re looking through the windscreen of the Millennium Flacon. Okay; imagine you could get into space – you have a spacesuit – and peer inside. Yeah. Now you’re there. Star Wars car sun shades are simply awesome. If only I had a […]
If Batman played golf – the Batman golf cart
Apparently, it was initially thought that Christopher Nolan owned this clever piece of engineering. That seems unlikely to me! Nevertheless, that suggestion comes from Technabob who also bring us these fantastic pictures of the Batman tumbler golf cart. It’s actually a superfan (and someone handy in the garage) who has put this together. Okay; enough […]
Airship fish (Airfish?) good for events and spying
This video from the New Scientist shows a new type of airship that’s modelled on fish. I keep on wanting to call it an airfish. You see; it navigates by wriggling like a fish. This means it can do without the standard propulsion methods used by other airships and without them it is almost silent. […]
Fire engine 2.0
This is the Amatoya Reconnaissance and Suppression Vehicle and doesn’t it look cool? I’m not sure how much water or foam it could carry but its clearly a tough little vehicle and I imagine it’s just the ticket when you need to get to a forest fire or buildings off the beaten track. I’m sure […]
Real life Thunderbird transport
The video shows one of two 510 ton (that’s 1,020,00 0 lb) steam generators being transported 75 miles from Maryland to a nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania. Each generator’s components plus transport weighs 1,651,000 lbs (that’s 825 tons). The transport has 26 pairs of axles (each with hydraulic drive power) and 208 wheels. Top speed […]
