So how does a Tesla Coil that can discharge 1 million volts look like, and what damage can it do? Well, from the next video it seems obvious that you wanna stay WAAAAAYYYYY back when it's operating. Now that is a true light show! Enjoy!
This cool video is from Discovery Channel's Future Weapons show, which is one of my favorite TV shows. In this 8 minute video you'll see one of the latest recoilless shotguns which is able to fire up to 300 rounds per minute, obliterating everything in its path! Pretty useful, huh?
Renault is well known as the car manufacturer with the most models that received 5-star ratings at the EuroNCAP crash-tests. What better way to promote the safety of their cars than to hit them from all directions, in all possible ways. A really ingenious clip from Renault!
A cool video demonstrating the power of the Russian helicopter gunship Mi-24 Hind. Pay attention to the hi-tech way the cockpit is closed by the pilot. Enjoy!
Here’s what happens when a train locomotive crashes into a 5-star NCAP safety rating car. Nothing can save you from this 250 ton monster. The train locomotive manages to stop in about one kilometer, but when you are talking about a whole train….distances can easily be over 5 kilometers!
This walking table is really good to have around the house. Whenever you feel like redecorating, just push the walking table towards where you want it, and it just walks on over there. Plus, a walking table is a really cool party trick. Enjoy!
Here's a cool video clip demonstrating that at temperatures this cold a cup of hot water freezes instantly when it's thrown into the air. Pretty cool actually!
Funny
Two cats try to fight, but there's a problem. There's a window separating them. Watch and laugh at how this hysterical cat, tries to defend its territory, hissing, and punching the glass. Lol.
Well, we've all heard of Gamespot. They are amongst the best game rating site online. Well this game is so bad, that it managed to score a perfect 1.0
Ouch
Well...this video has been around for a few days. I thought I should put it up as well, just to enforce the importance of safety ratings. Without them we wouldn't have this kind of information about cars. For example, we now know that Chinese cars ar a piece of c&!@. Here's the proof:

This amazing robot can do some neat stuff. It can play air hockey and juggle, demonstrating it has some impressive coordination skills, and it can also use its power as needed! Amazing!
Here's the same robot juggling balls:
There are few if any models in the world to rival the Ferrari 312PB built by Pierre Scerri. This 1:3 scale masterpiece is the real thing in every sense, from its operating 100cc 12-cylinder engine to the exact scale operating Ferrari gauges which are calibrated precisely to indicate rpm, oil pressure, water temperature and oil temperature. It took Pierre 15 years and more than 20,000 hours to build this car! He learned to make glass so he could make the exact pattern lens for the operating headlights. He learned to make rubber so he could mold his own tires. The creator of the original gearbox even came out of retirement to produce an exact 1:3 scale version for the model. Featured on Jeremy Clarkson's Extreme Machines.
Amazing
This baby should go head to head in a drag race with a F1 car, not a Corvette. Damn..this the fastest accelerating, road legal car I've ever seen. Too bad the owner is so full of himself
A gauss gun, works by sequentially accelerating a projectile to a desired speed by using either magnets or coils.
The first video is a small demonstration of the principle behind the whole thing, by using magnets. The following videos are weapons which were homemade, and as you can see work remarkably well. So well in fact, that the US Navy will implement such weapons on its ships by 2020, after they succesfully tested an 8 Megajoule prototype.
Here's a hot sexy Brazilian model in bikinis that makes the Brazilian nation proud. If all girls there look like these...than I'm emigrating. Enjoy, and also check out our other sexy clips.

A highly resistant and self lubricating material has been discovered, thanks to the formation of an oxide surface that captures the water vapor
Hard as diamond and slippery as a sheet of ice. The secret of the extraordinary characteristics of Bam, a special alloy-ceramics produced by blending a mix of boron, aluminum and magnesium (AlMgB14) with titanium boride (TiB2), was unveiled by researchers of Ames Laboratory, in Iowa (Usa ), who had accidentally discovered it a decade ago.
In 1999, researchers tried to obtain a substance capable of generating electricity if overheated, when, unexpectedly, found in the hands a league owned by the exceptional and seemingly inexplicable. The Bam is tough, despite possessing a complex structure, asymmetrical and not compact. Moreover, says Alan Russel of Iowa University, it is inherently slippery. One characteristic that, according to researchers, could be due to the formation on the surface of boron oxide, which can attract water molecules present in the air.
A new technique, developed in the laboratories of the Foundation San Raffaele Biomedical Park, facilitates the process of regeneration of muscle tissue.
Stem cells, modified at the level of genes, could permit the recovery of tissue degenerated from Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Dmd), even when the disease is in an advanced stage. This is a further step towards developing a therapy, which is being developed for some years by researchers of the Foundation San Raffaele Biomedical Park of Castel Romano, coordinated by Giulio Cossu, University of Milan. The research, published in Nature Medicine, was conducted by Cesare Gargioli and Marcello Coletta, along with Fabrizio de Grandis and Stefano Cannata at the Roman Tor Vergata.
From previous studies and experiments on animal models it is known that mesangioblasti, stem cells normally associated with blood vessels, are able to spread easily and merge with and into the muscle tissue regenerating it (cell therapy). In advanced stages, however, this treatment had so far proven ineffective because of difficulties to penetrate between the muscle fibers. The degeneration, in fact, is accompanied by a process of inflammation followed by scarring tissue that impedes the provision of blood (and thus oxygen) to the muscles. Therefore, the muscle fibers are replaced with fatty tissue.
To overcome the obstacle, the researchers genetically modified cells derived from the tendons (fibroblasts) so as to make them express the protein metalloproteasi 9 (Mmp9), a molecule that can degrade collagen that accumulates between fibres degeneration.
The brain responds to stimuli, tactile and visual contradiction in delaying the processing of information that comes from the skin.
A fly is laying on the right elbow. Slight itching, moving vision towards the elbow, identification of the intruder and its position and, finally, blow. This reaction is not as instantaneous as you can imagine. Indeed, the brain seems to delay affixed aware of the tactile perception, as reported a study in Current Biology Group for Research in Cognitive Neuroscience (Grnc) in Barcelona.
The brain is often having to generate rapid responses integrating stimuli that produce information in contradiction: if, for example, the subject has crossed his arms and brings his right arm on the left side and left arm on the right side, his hands will be in a position that is reversed from the original location. In this case, the brain must be able to correctly integrate the information of the tactile stimulus (for example pinch) on the right hand, although the visual stimulus comes in fact from the left. To avoid mistakes the brain needs time to make a realignment of the information space of two different maps: that rof the body and one that covers everything else.
To understand how the mechanism works, researchers have assessed the response of 32 university students to a series of visual and tactile stimuli. Each student has been subjected to 600 tests. "First we asked participants to cross the arms, so that the position of hands was in conflict with the anatomical position" says Salvador Soto-Faraco, one of the authors of the study, "we have stimulated one of two hands." Few tenths of a second later, a small light (visual stimulus) I had left or right. Both the tactile stimuli that those visual products were in a totally random. In addition, the flash of light could be generated 60 or 200 milliseconds after the tactile stimulus. In order to assess whether the time elapsed between the two stimuli does influence or not the answer.
An Italian research published on Plos One identified, in rabbits, some areas where neurons grow as from adult tissue
A new Italian study has identified in the cerebellum of rabbits some areas in which nerve cells grow from adult tissue, demonstrating that repairing damaged to the brain - in theory - is not impossible.
The discovery, fifteen years ago, that even the central nervous system of adult mammals can form new neurons has been a cornerstone of neuroscience and distorting the previous belief that neurogenesis occurs in this animal class, once and for all, during development embryonic, without the possibility of repair after birth. Unlike other vertebrates, in which this process occurs post-natal widely in the brain, in mammals seems limited to a few specific areas.
Thanks to special steel plates, the University of Utah is implementing a computer that makes use of terahertz radiation instead of electricity
It will be the first computer powered by infrared rays rather than electricity, a super-computer capable of operating at terahertz radiation (far-infrared), the only still unexplored frontier in the electromagnetic spectrum. It is being developed by a group of scientists at the University of Utah. It will probably require ten years of work to be completed. Currently, the group of scientists are making waveguides, the appropriate "channels" that will convey radiation and transmit it from one point to another.
To mark a decisive step forward in research, the good results obtained by the use of special sheets of perforated stainless steel which are proving able to lead effectively terahertz radiation (the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is between microwaves and infrared, and whose wavelength is between 1 mm and 100 micrometers). As described in the study of Ajay Nahata (which will be published in Optics Express Friday April 18), these sheets will be "the matrix" on which to build the future of computer circuits. According to the surveys conducted so far, in fact, the number of perforations - arranged on a semi-regular on laminate - would maintain control over radiation, not disperse them over the surface of the material. There is still much to be found, for example, the way to drive rays, making them bend, split and reunited later.
