Bamboo-made Electric Car And Car Runs Mostly on Air
November 4, 2008
BamGoo, is a 60 kg single-seat car developed by the city and Kyoto University. The seat is made of bamboo. The car can run for 50 kilometers (30) miles on single charge. This ecologically-friendly concept car was displayed in Kyoto city, Sunday, November 2, 2008.
How about the aerodynamic issue? And would it have kind of whistling sound? I mean there are many holes theres, between the bamboo strap, and if it is driven against wind, there could be sound. Well, this is just a concept car. Maybe they will come up with a innovative idea.
Other than that, there is also a revolutionary environmentally friendly car build by a carmaker (Developer Zero Pollution Motors). It run mostly on air and splash of salad oil, alcohol. The price is $20,000 and will be released on 2011. This is a good sign for better environment in the near future.

Senator John McCain Was on Saturday Night Live (with Sarah Palin)
November 3, 2008
Senator John McCain and his wife, Cindy McCain, were on Saturday Night Live. They opened the show by sketching QVC network merchandiser sellers together with Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. Cindy acted as McCain’s assistant.
After Sarah Palin, John McCain, I actually am expecting Joe Biden (I think Obama would be great too) on this Saturday Night Live. I wonder how it would be? I perceived this guy as quite conservative as John McCain. I also wonder what would be on this show after the US General Election next week. Sketching the winning candidate in satire way? Lol. Who know?
Please watch the full video of this John McCain’s SNL show.
Cool Jellyfish Robot
November 2, 2008
Festo, a company based in Esslingen, Germany, created an artifical jellyfish. The company explained:
“AquaJelly is an artificial autonomous jellyfish with an electric drive and an intelligent, adaptive mechanical system. AquaJelly consists of a translucent hemisphere and eight tentacles used for propulsion. At the centre of the AquaJelly is a watertight, laser-sintered pressure vessel. This comprises a central, electric drive, two lithium-ion-polymer batteries, the charge control device and the servo motors for the swashplate.
Just watch this amazing presentation video of this artificial jellyfish, flying around inside a building and water. Beautiful, cool yet creepy too. Hehehe. This could’ve been a cool stuff for Halloween. I wonder how much does it cost you to buy (if it’s sold:P).
