The electric wheel - a breakthrough in car efficiency

The future of the car is based on direct power in the wheels. By transferring power without any gearing but by using an electromotor that spins itself inside the wheel, huge energy losses are averted, leading to a super efficient car. Link the four electric wheels to an embedded software and hardware system and optimum force control and traction is obtained without heavy mechanical solutions. Another beauty of the system is braking. By reversing the magnets

awesome, electric, fast, mini, no emissions, sweet

proof of living fast, dying young (statistically speaking)

The site set the average age of premature rockstar deaths along side the average age of American deaths, driving home a striking fact: When rockstars die prematurely, they are younger than when Americans die in general. Shocking.

yo- where's my hypodermic needle?!?

"Trap Jaw" ants chomp down on prey at 145mph. suck it, clock spider

Biologists clocked the speed at which the trap-jaw ant, Odontomachus bauri, closes its mandibles at 35 to 64 meters per second, or 78 to 145 miles per hour - an action they say is the fastest self-powered predatory strike in the animal kingdom. The average duration of a strike was a mere 0.13 milliseconds, or 2,300 times faster than the blink of an eye.
