Guys Makes Lamborghini Aventador For Just 500 Dollars

Taras Lesko from Seattle has built a mind-blowing replica of the Lamborghini Aventador solely out of printing paper and cardboard. However, he is not new to such ingenious builds. In year 2010, he made a jaw-dropping 4-foot-tall Freedom Gundam and the very next year he made an even impressive 7-foot tall Gundam. In its building process, he cut 720 pages into 1250 shapes. After that he took a two years break. Only very recently, he has made Lamborghini Aventador sports car from paper and cardboard which looks amazingly real. He first designed all its parts on computer softwares such as Abode Photoshop, Illustrator and AfterEffects, printed them on several paper sheets and then used an X-Acto knife to cut those parts accurately. Next he wanted his vehicle to roam around easily. To achieve this, he used chipboard to make its frame. The vehicle weighs just 11.3 kilograms.

Taras used architectural E2 paper sheets for printing and hence named his Lamborghini Aventador A-E2. The measurements of vehicle are 244 x 115 x 63 cm and these days the car is placed on a wall inside his house. The following photo shows different printed parts of Lamborghini Aventador.

And once the parts were assembled…

Five Reasons Your Smartphone Battery Runs Out Quickly

Over the past decade, mobile phone capability has improved at an incredible rate. We can do things with those little devices in our hands that twenty, ten or even five years ago we would have thought impossible. Yet there is one area of smartphones that hasn’t improved. In fact, if anything, it seems to have got worse over recent years. The general battery life of a smartphone is as short now as it was when mobile phones came with shoulder straps. So what’s the deal? Why does the battery run out so quickly and can you do anything about it?

Beware of free apps

If you’re downloading free apps, especially games, most of the power they use might not have anything to do with the app itself but rather is being used on third party advertising services. As little as 20% of a free app might be used on the actual game, and over 50% used on location-specific advertising. In short, don’t use free apps that come with lots of adverts. They drain your battery for no good reason.

Turn off apps

Just because you are not using an app it doesn’t mean they are not using power. You physically have to turn the app off in order to stop it draining your juice. You can do this with the task manager. Forget, and you’re wasting valuable battery for no reason.

Signal

How strong is the signal in your area because if it’s low, your phone will be using more battery to keep you in touch. The same is true for network speeds in your area. However, the reverse can also be true and if you have a strong signal, your phone works to its full potential and can drain the battery faster.

Turn off GPS

Sure it’s good to know where you are and that others do too, but any app that uses GPS is draining your power. Go into your settings and turn it off and you can keep going for longer.

Think about what it’s doing

Just consider the phone you have in your hand. If you’ve got a top quality smartphone like a Samsung Galaxy S3 on contract, you’re essentially carrying around a small but powerful computer. That’s incredible to think about. It’s no wonder it uses battery. In fact, it is amazing that batteries last as long as they do. So, how about giving your phone a break and remembering to charge it up every day?

Panasonic To Mass-Produce ‘Powered Suit’ To Enhance Strength

Panasonic has announced that their “powered suit” will go into mass production this year. The suit, which will enable the wearer to greatly enhance their strength, will sell at the relatively reasonable price of 500,000 yen.

Netizens are excited by the idea, with some seeing it as a glimpse into the future role of robotics in modern life.

From Yahoo! Japan:
Panasonic’s Powered Suit To Go Into Global Mass Production For First Time, One Suit Expected To Cost 500,000 Yen

On January 2, it was revealed that Panasonic’s “Powered Suit”, which mechanically supports physical strength to lift heavy objects is to go into global mass production for the first time. They will also be on sale in 2015. Over a year 1000 suits will be produced, and the price for one suit is expected to cost 500,000 yen [approx. $4788]. It is expected that the suit will be used in situations where short-term operations are required, such as to help with disasters and within nuclear power stations. In the future, Panasonic will also develop a suit that can be used even in extreme environments, such as in space and deep sea.

Powered suits, which when worn produces strength that exceeds the limits of human strength, have been researched and developed in various organizations, including universities and private enterprises, however they have not yet been mass produced. Pansonic’s suit is equipped with an enlarged version of the lithium ion battery used in computers and smart phones, and moves via a motor. The operation of the suit’s arms, “grip” and “release”, is carried out through grips near the user’s hands.

The development of the suit was done by Activelink, a subsidiary of Panasonic that works on robotics. Activelink successfully made a test product that is capable of lifting objects weighing 100kg, moving at a maximum speed of 8km/h, about the speed of a gentle run for a human, going up a hill of a ten degree gradient.

Panasonic will establish a system of mass-production for the suits in 2014. As well as partnering with major companies to sell the suit, they are also reviewing rental operations through a leasing company.

The mass-produced suit　has a narrowed range of functions, adapted to transport heavy objects of around 30kgs. The plan is for it to go on sale with the name “power-loader suit”. The suit can move for around 2 to 3 hours on one battery charge. The arms can be switched so that they don’t only grip, but can also do operations involving hammering with a hammer, and digging using a scoop.

The development of a suit that can be worn under a spacesuit or diving gear is also on the horizon. Each suit requires substantial strength to operate it freely, and in fact, at NASA, whether a power suit can be worn underneath a spacesuit is being investigated. The completed product will be supplied to public organizations and research facilities.

One question, which one do you pick between a real V8 engine and the following V8 engine computer case mod? Of course, both items can’t be sold. As a computer geek, I will choose the ultra cool case.

However, fortunately we have these detailed images about the computer case. From them, the case mod has two computer cases holding those internal units like motherboard, video card, and etc. The DVD drive is placed in the air intake of the V8 engine.

Posted by: Adina in Gadgets, Gifts

Electronic gadgets for men are great ideas when you want to buy a gift and have no clue what to choose. We have found some cool stuff that men would love to have around the house so we are giving you some ideas for his next birthday.

49 pounds is the price you must pay to get the MP3 sunglasses. Let us see what are the advantages of this gizmo. Well, the first one would be no wires. Don’t you hate it when the wires of your MP3 Player get all tangled up when you pull it out of the bag or pocket? These sun glasses offer %100 UVA and UVB protection just like normal sun glasses do. You can take them with you when you go jogging, riding a bike, climbing a mountain or simply walking the dog. I’m not sure how good these would look on a woman’s face but for men, they are sure winners. These sport sunglasses basically have a built in wireless MP3 player. This MP3 player has 2 GB of included memory so you store about 400 songs. Cool, isn’t it?

The next item on the list is one accessory that will make both men and women happy. Too bad that it is listed under electronic gadgets for men… the iWallet may look like a regular wallet but it does have one very special feature: it is combined with a digital photo frame. This means that you can now carry digital photos around with you and you can connect you wallet to a computer so you can now upload your favorite photos. The display only measures 1.4 inches so don’t go around uploading 1280 x 800 pixel photos. But wait, there is more! You can play even recorded messages simultaneously with the displaying pictures.


The little digital photo frame has a built in stereo speakers and the USB data transfer cable is included in the package. Oh yes, and the iWallet is made out of soft nappa leather. Price? 40 pounds.


Since they always say that men are nothing but big kids, here is one item that some men are going to love. The TV Terminator is an ideal gift for the funny guy of your group, the one that like to fool around and make pranks all the time. This little device is a small gizmo that fits into the palm of your hand so no one can see it and it has a buttons that switches any TV to standby mode. It is no bigger than a regular size keychain and yes, it comes with a keychain attachment. Anytime, anyplace, the TV Terminator is ready to shut down any TV. It could also be an excuse to put the nasty kids in bed at night. Just make sure you reveal the prank to your friends before they take the TV to the repair shop or worse, before they start opening it up to see what’s wrong. This is also a cheap accessory, as it only costs about 13 pounds.
