See this guy sitting in that crazy contraption? He’s been to every corner of the United States on that crazy vehicle, and that vehicle goes seventy miles per hour. At least that’s how the story goes.
The plate sitting on top of this vehicle is a solar panel. He has a radio and a TV in there, but there’s no word on lighting fixtures – though one can only assume he has some sort of a light source on the inside.
Nanotube muscles are here! This could mean great advances in robotics, and thus, the end of civilization as we know it- because the robots are sure to try and take over the world now that they can get buffed like the Terminator! Something tells me my watergun just became useless in the war against the machines.
With a super low density of 1.5 mg/cm3, almost as light as air, a gram of this material can cover over 30 m2! The material outperforms the human muscle by 700 percent and other carbon nanotubes materials by 10 folds : it can elongate by 220 percent at a rate of 37,000 percent per second. Alongside its astonishing vertical elasticity, it presents a superior horizontal hardness, so this “unprecedented degree of anisotropy is akin to having diamond-like behavior in one direction and rubber-like behavior in the others”.
The material support a broader temperature range than biological materials (25 to 1200 degrees Celsius) but it generates a lower power: 30J/kg against 40J/kg for real muscles.
Yeah, whatever the quote said. I just wonder if this will lead to a slew of new inventions…. self-powered bicycles? Silent vacuums? Badass Prosthetics? The possibilities are only slightly limited!
For all you guys who can’t afford the high startup costs associated with opening up your very own strip club, there’s a new hope on the horizon. For a fraction of the cost of a real strip club, you can pedal your way to fame and fortune as a bicycle pimp with this stripper pole/bicycle combo.
I’m sure you could make a killing by blasting sexy music and cruising slowly through neighborhoods. Just think of it as an ice cream truck for adults. For those of you who think I’m being a sexist pig here… notice that I never said that the pole was for girls… it could be a mobile chippendales for all I know!
Oh sure, that dancer looks like a girl in the photo, but it’s mighty blurry, just like my memories of the ’90′s. That could totally be a guy in drag. I hope it’s a guy in drag. That would be awesome. I’m only kidding- I have crystal clear recollection of the ’90′s.
Be sure to check out the official site of this contraption, where they have a picture of a pimp bicycle.
