Monocycle : A Unique Blend of Machine and Human Balancing

This is the world’s first self balancing cycle which can be said to be a unique blend of machine and human balancing. The cycle works on the principle that the rider controls the speed of the cycle by his movement like leaning forward or backward for speeding up or stopping. Also the gadgets used in this device are quite advanced like the accelerometers and gyroscopes which in itself have a lot of balancing algorithms. Overall the device is ideal for short distances in the city as the cyclist is supported by presence of strong electric motor thus ensuring that the rider reaches the destination without much of an effort.

FurReal Friends Biscuit My Lovin Pup Product Review

I don’t like pets and there are several reasons behind it. First of all pets like the dogs have fur and I am allergic to it. Second of all we do not have much room to accommodate a dog who needs space to move around and play. And the most vital reason is that we are out of the house for at least 7 hours a day and if we get a pet it will have to be alone in the house for that long. This is quite inhuman as pets often love to be surrounded by the inmates of a house. Now the logics I have in mind are pretty complicated and you might have the same opinion as me, but it is simply impossible to make your kid understand those. Perhaps your kids used to scream every afternoon at least for an hour asking for a doggy and you were tired of declining their request.

Imagine! Grow-With-Me Personal Playground

“The Argo”, Conceptual Boat Design Has Won Bio 21 Quality Concept Award

The new touring boat designed for touring the waters of Ljunljanica River in Slovenia is surely a designer masterpiece. The boat named as “The Argo” can be termed as an eye candy as design wise it’s a beauty and is equivalent to what a convertible is to cars. The boat has primarily been designed to capture the picturesque locales of the surrounding areas of Ljunljanica River and being opened without any boundaries as it represents openness. Also the lack of boundaries depicts the closeness it can find to nature. This conceptual design has also won the BIO 21 Quality Concept Award. I must admit it deserves the same.

Aerotel with Hanging Gardens Above Water by Alexander Asadov

The new concept “Aerotel” by Russian Architect Alexander Asadov, is something that can be realized anywhere in the world be it reservoirs or oceans. This 200m wide design also includes hanging gardens above water, and within the structure hotel and café, restaurants etc. The hotel can be accessed via bank side or the airstrips on the deck. One of the advantages as per the architect is that the construction cost is significantly lesser as compared to gravel works and also the ecological value as the basin area under the construction does not come under contact. With significant interests coming from many Arab investors, the project may soon be a reality.
