Innovate or Die - Aquaduct: Mobile Filtration Vehicle
 |
The Aquaduct is pedal powered vehicle that transports, filters, and stores water for the developing world. A peristaltic pump attached to the pedal crank draws water from a large tank, through a filter, to a smaller clean tank. The clean tank is removable and closed for contamination-free home storage and use. A clutch engages and disengages the drive belt from the pedal crank, enabling the rider to filter the water while traveling or while stationary.
The Aquaduct is the winning entry in the Innovate or Die contest put on by Google and Specialized. The contest challenge was to build a pedal powered machine that has environmental impact. Please visit our blog ( http://theaquaduct.blogspot.com/ ) or email team.aquaduct@gmail.com for more details.

Rodger Cleye is into building electric vehicles. So far he has built an Electric Skateboard and a Electric Unicycle. I like the fact that there are safety features built into both of them, safety seems to be the first thing that is lacking in DIY projects. Not sure I could ever get the [...]

Five-Year-Old Hard Core Skater
 |
CHAN:
And in India, a little boy brings new meaning to the phrase, “Skate or Die!” How low can you go? Trying to set a new record, this little skater boy decided to roller skate under five moving cars.
STORY:
Five-year-old P. Obeadh, limbo-skated 100 times under five cars, all driving at a speed of 10 kilometers an hour.
He limbo-skated under one side of a car and in a fraction of a second emerged from the other side. All along, he was cheered by hundreds of onlookers.
[P. Obeadh, Five-Year-Old Skater]:
“Well, I am Obeadh and I am a student. I am happy performing this feat. I wish to achieve more in due course of time.”
He practiced limbo skating under moving vehicles for the past month, putting in a minimum of four hours of practice daily.
[Stalin, Puducherry Taekwondo Sports Association]:
“Watching the kid’s spirit of adventure, we trained him and he has not failed us. We have sought endorsement from the Guinness Book of Records for this unique feat of limbo-skating 100 times. We have the agreement. He practiced well.”
The event drew hundreds of people but some of them complained that the organizers seemed to have ignored the boy’s safety, without even an ambulance present to take care of the child in case of an emergency.
