A Swiss company called Rinspeed says it has created the world's first truly submersible car - named "sQuba," the car can run both on road, & at the push of a button - go up to 10 meters (33 feet) underwater. This car has a steel chassis, while the body panels are made of carbon nanotubes. On road, an electric motor provides rear-wheel drive & underwater, its two propellers & two jet drives which are at work. Its an environmentally friendly design. A self-contained on-board oxygen system is also included in this two-seater to supply the driver & passenger with fresh air. Its also said that it has costed more than 1 million euros ($1.62 million) to make the only sQuba built so far.





Here is another one from Rinspeed called "Splash", another of the high performance amphibious vehicle. It looks quite a stylish car that can be driven at high speeds in the water too.







The state of the Russian roads are known to all, & if someone has to go through a road filled with water, how would that be? Here is a test drive of Lada Niva, which was made to drive under water.



This is supposed to be designed & built by special Soviet car company during the sixties. In comparison to the technology & the features available in the cars during those days, this car was far advanced. It had a press button to start the engine, the gear selected was shown in the dashboard, & it had heating both the windscreens. And the best part was it could go in water & also on the road like any other car.

This is a unique iconic mobile theater which will represent the Arts Alliance & their performance worldwide created by Various Architects.


First test model on the new in-house 3D printer from Z-corporation.


A 4 x 6 meter test piece of the exterior inflatable skin has been ordered for the model. It has two parts of the large inflatable hexagons & a translucent inflated window pane which will together form the exterior surfaces of the Mobile theater.


The first inflation of the full-scale model was at the offices of ESS in London. This is the first in a series of full-scale models for the inflatable structural skin of the theater.


It is a five-screen cinematic performance where live dancers perform in front of, behind, & between the screens throughout the show. For the five screens, sails draped over shipping containers were used. It worked well in the Yokohama harbor where both containers & cranes to move them were in abundance. But it was not practical in other central urban locations. Hence there was a need for a new mobile theater that can be conveyed easily around the world & is suitable for almost any site. It should be an inflatable structure with dramatic effects to make it a memorable experience.

Dutch artist Henk Hofstra is back & this time it's the sculptures called 'Art Eggcident' (environmental art project) in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. Remember we brought to you his earlier work titled 'Urban River' where he painted a complete city street aqua blue. Recently several large ones (each 100 feet wide) were spread on the Zaailand - one of the Netherland's largest city squares. The largest ones are totally flat, but the smaller ones have a three-dimensional 'yolk', & are able to take the weight of the kids.

These are the photos of Batmobile that came up for sale on eBay at a cool $500,000. The car is 20 feet long, 8 feet in width, powered by a Chevrolet 350 engine & has a custom-built chassis. It has no doors, and the only way to get behind the wheel is to get in through the top where the canopy opens, just like in the movie. Though now the item has been removed from the site, well we're guessing this auction has a probability of reappearing soon hopeful at a lesser starting price.

Well what can be said, every army has its rules & ways to teach their cadets.

This bridge doesn't look like the one which people would use out of necessity to get to the other side. It looks more like one created for some competition or a part of movie set. Though the photos aren't that clear; which leaves many questions unanswered, like the type of tyres used or any other details. One thing can be made out from these photos, we can see a square metal pipe over the tyre & the bridge wire / pipe which must be some sort of safety measure. No details are known as of now about the location of the bridge, or who the driver was, & what was the purpose of the drive over the bridge?






Thanks Neil!
