Miss R Electric Supercar

XING Mobility’s Miss R is touted as the “world’s first electric supercar with on-road and off-road capabilities,” thanks to four electric motors as well as a 1 Megawatt battery pack which consists of 98 modules and 4116 cells. This means a combined output of 1,341 hp (1000 kW), enabling it to go from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in a mere 1.8 seconds and 0-200 km/h (0-124 mph) in 5.1 seconds.

All Terrain Warriors Alpha Expedition

Priced from $245K, the All Terrain Warriors Alpha Camper may sound like a video game at first, but it’s actually one of the coolest expedition vehicles you’ll see today, or ever. It uses the standard (two-person cab) Fuso Chassis and is powered by a 3.0L I-4 Mercedes turbo diesel with a six-speed automatic transmission and factory four-wheel-drive. The vehicle’s Mitsubishi OEM suspension has been replaced with parabolic suspension and adjustable shock absorbers to facilitate ease-of-ride over smooth surfaces such as paved roads, while progressively responds with added stiffness as the terrain becomes more challenging.

Jet Powered Scooter

Inventor Colin Furze is back at it again, and this time, he’s built a jet-powered micro scooter for his son. This isn’t like the other jet-powered creations we’ve featured though, as this one doesn’t use the turbines that power commercial airliners whose hot exhaust could easily melt your face, but rather a battery-powered ducted fan strapped to the scooter. This means that it’s capable of producing thrust without burning the rider’s legs. Click here for the first image in today’s viral picture gallery.

Army Third Arm

The US Army reveals a “Third Arm” device looks to be straight from a science fiction film, but it’s actually a specially designed harness that helps take the weight of weapons off a soldier’s arms. Best of all, it doesn’t require batteries, is light enough to be easily transported, and evenly distributes the load of a heavy weapon. “It falls in line with the direction that the Army wants to be heading in the future. We get comments from Soldiers who tell us different things about the way it feels on their body…about the way it redistributes the load. Some like it, some give us tips about the ways it could be improved, and we’re using that input to improve the device and improve the design so that it not only works well, but it also feels good,” said mechanical engineer Dan Baechle.

Solar Scorcher Dry Ice

Grant Thompson, also known as “King of Random” on YouTube, created a 2000° F solar scorcher years back, and just recently, he decided to see what would happen if he used his homemade contraption on a block of dry ice. Just for reference, this solar cooker can easily melt pennies, lead, and even a plate of steel. All of those items were placed on the block of dry ice, and the results are quite surprising to say the least. Click here for the first image in today’s viral picture gallery.

Newcastle University researchers have 3D-printed the world’s first human corneas. This was made possible by creating a special bio-ink using stem cells mixed together with alginate and collagen, which enabled them to print the cornea using a simple low-cost 3D bio-printer. After further testing, they hope this new technique could be used to help combat the world-wide shortage of corneas for the 15 million people requiring a transplant.

The Boosted Board is great for getting around town, but for some, hitting a top speed of 22mph just won’t cut it, and there’s where this custom jet-powered longboard comes in. “Learn how I build my jet powered Boosted board! This jet powered longboard uses two EDF’s to provide the thrust. The board can hit speeds of 40+ mph and is probably one of the fastest electric longboards in the world,” said its creator, JLaserVideo.

Avtoros Shaman Top Gear
