Amazing Technology: Flat Bulb
�Flat Bulb� is designed by Korean designer Joon Huyn Kim. Unlike ordinary bulbs its volume is 1/3 smaller, reducing the cost of packaging and transport. Its slim shape allows bulbs to be easily stacked and prevents breakage as it does not roll. His work was on display as part of 100% Design Tokyo.

ROUSH develops vehicle to increase horse power
We wind up behind horse's asses every day on the interstate, but ROUSH has developed a vehicle with a rear-mounted cabin for the express purpose of towing a crew of three around while staring at the business end of an actual Equus caballus. ROUSH Technologies is more than just mechanical Mustangs, and the company has proved it by developing an equine training vehicle for Kurt Systems, a Turkish racehorse and camel training equipment company. The vehicle has an open front stall where the animal can run, and a rear mounted cabin that allows a driver, a veterinarian and a trainer to keep a keen eye on vital signs. The suspension is partially F-150 based, while power is provided by Volvo's 2.4-liter five-cylinder engine hooked up to an automatic transmission and driving through some reduction hardware. The vehicle will start serial production soon; in an odd sort of irony, ROUSH is even further tied to fast horses now.

M-Please-V
Multi-Purpose-lightweight-economic-and-simplistic-electric-Vehicle
The main principle of the M-Please-V is transportation; comfortable seating, a steering-wheel and pedals are all we really need to go anywhere, anytime. This simplistic vehicle, designed to expose passengers to their environment as much as possible, is devoid of excessive electronics and accessories, can comfortably transport up to nine passengers cheaply and easily, and can also be used as a utility vehicle.
Accessing the cabin of this vehicle is made simple by employing lightweight metal bars instead of doors. These manually removable bars, which do not require mechanical or electrical systems to operate, protect the cabin while maximising passengers� exposure to the outside environment
This nomadic vehicle, designed for adventure, prefers non-inclement environments, but if you don�t mind getting wet, neither does the M-Please-V; the easily washable interior of this versatile vehicle is water, sand, dirt and heat resistant.
For even greater flexibility, the cabin of the M-Please-V is totally modular. The retractable seats and driving-commands console are mounted on rails and rotate, allowing for various driving and seating positions and customisable storage/usage space.
The environmentally friendly M-Please-V is motorized by four in-wheel dynamic-damping motor drive systems, powered by batteries situated under the cabin floor.* This configuration provides extra cabin space.
Easy and inexpensive to manufacture, maintain, modify, and upgrade, the M-Please-V represents efficient, economic transportation in its most uncomplicated form, easily accessible to clientele in developing as well as developed countries
The M-Please-V is a more kitten-than-a-cat interpretation of Peugeot�s �feline� philosophy, and, like me, young, optimistic, positive, and ready to discover the world.

Baldwin Street in Dunedin, New Zealand : The World's Steepest Street
Initially, Baldwin Street slopes gently from the valley floor, then climbs steeply to its intersection with Buchanan Street at the top.
Over the 161.2 metre length of the top section, it climbs a vertical height of 47.22 metres, which is an average gradient of 1 in 3.41.
On its steepest section, the gradient is 1 in 2.86.
Every year, during Dunedin's Festival, large numbers of athletes, including family groups, take part in social and competitive foot races to the top of the street and return. These races are known as the "BALDWIN STREET GUTBUSTER".
The street is named for William Baldwin, who carried out the original subdivision. Baldwin was a member of the Otago Provincial COuncil and founder of the "Otago Guardian" newspaper in 1873.

Escalator Ride
The Umeda Sky Building is the seventh-tallest building in Osaka City, Japan, and one of the city's most recognizable landmarks.
The 173 m (568 ft) building was designed by Hiroshi Hara. It was constructed by Takenaka Corporation and was completed in 1993.
It consists of two 40-story towers that connect at their two uppermost stories, with bridges and an escalator crossing the wide atrium-like space in the center.
The escalater ride is an event in itself as it feels like you are floating up into the sky. This is a cheap way to see the city, less than 10 USD to go up to the observation area.

The Door To Hell?
This place in Uzbekistan is called by locals "The Door to Hell". It is situated near the small town of Darvaz . The story of this place lasts already for 35 years. Once the geologists were drilling for gas. Then suddenly during the drilling they have found an underground cavern, it was so big that all the drilling site with all the equipment and camps got deep deep under the ground. None dared to go down there because the cavern was filled with gas. So they ignited it so that no poisonous gas could come out of the hole, and since then, it's burning, already for 35 years without any pause. Nobody knows how many tons of excellent gas has been burned for all those years but it just seems to be infinite there.
