Bamboo-made Electric Car And Car Runs Mostly on Air

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.

Jero, American Enka Singer

Jero is a 27 y.o singer who was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Jero (fullname: Jerome Charles White, Jr.) is quite famous in Japan and is claimed as the first black enka singer in Japanese music history. You might not expect the genre of his song judging from his style.

I have put Jero’s videos singing enka here. I was laughing when I posted this article. Can you imagine someone’s wearing hip-hop-singer-style clothes but singing Japanese enka? Fail..fail. Lol.

He is very talented though.
