I Don't Know Where To Put This, But...

This is interesting. It looks funny as hell, but seems to work pretty good. There's video at the bottom of the link.

New 18-Wheel Electric All-Terrain Vehicle is a Versatile World First

Finnish company 18 Wheels say they have developed and produced a unique patented suspension for the so-called “eco ATV” that utilizes 18 wheels so as not to overly disturb the soil underneath it.

“Our ATV does not destroy the soil, is safe for nature, and has a significantly better dynamic performance and cross-country ability than any ATV,” said the company, ensuring any doubters that this machine is not a party piece.

The first prototype device was built last year to test the hypothesis and suspension on different soils.

18 Wheels say that prototype featured a suspension system that provides a special trajectory of movement and is equipped with an independent electric motor inside, the same as some electric or hybrid performance cars which can calculate how much power to send to each wheel in order to improve cornering speed and stability.

“After six months of testing, we designed the second prototype already in the public design and are now building it,” 18 Wheels report.

This is an unbelievable story, but it's true.

If you have been to Yosemite Park, you probably know about the hike to the top of Half Dome. If not, I've included a National Park Service video.

Interesting potential if they can ever figure out how to utilize or enhance this little discovery.

Stunned Researchers Discover that Metals Can Heal Themselves 'Without Human Intervention'

Scientists for the first time have witnessed pieces of metal crack, then fuse back together without any human intervention, overturning fundamental scientific theories in the process.

If the newly discovered phenomenon can be harnessed, it could usher in an engineering revolution—one in which self-healing engines, bridges, and airplanes could reverse damage caused by wear and tear, making them safer and longer-lasting.

The research team from Sandia National Laboratories and Texas A&M University described their findings today in the journal Nature.

“This was absolutely stunning to watch first-hand,” said Sandia materials scientist Brad Boyce.

“What we have confirmed is that metals have their own intrinsic, natural ability to heal themselves, at least in the case of fatigue damage at the nanoscale,” he told the Laboratory’s press.

I don't think this would be too bad.

Maybe not quite Ricky Bobby quality, but pretty good:

Words cannot describe how good Brian's Song is and if it doesn't move your soul, then I weep for you.


Jack Warden's (narrator and Coach Halas) closing line is what I think we all would hope for ourselves....


He left behind a great many loving friends who think about him often. But when they think of him, it's not how he died they remember, but how he lived. How he did live!






Of course, Jack Warden's best work was along side Kurt Russell as he portrayed both Roy L Fuchs and his brother Luke in Robert Zemeckis' brilliant adaptation of Used Cars.

I think we've had this in a tread before; some good stuff...

One of the best movie speeches of all time. Maybe the best.
