Jetlev Flyer--Fly it!

The Jetlev Flyer is a fantastically strange vehicle, and for all the right reasons.

         
          The Jetlev Flyer was developed by Raymond Li, based in Newfoundland, Canada. The concept has been in development since 2000, but the first manned-flight didn't take place until 2005. Since then the Jetlev Flyer has developed into a commercially available vehicle which has undergone hundreds of hours of test flights, in the hands of over 30 test pilots.
       

           Since 2008, Jetlev Sports Inc. of Florida have been licensed to produce the Jetlev Flyer, and in 2009 MS Watersports GmbH in Germany joined the party and helped co-develop the production model. Between the two companies, the Jetlev Flyer is for sale in markets all across the world.
       

          The Jetlev Flyer is unlike other jetpacks in that it uses waterjet power, instead of gas jets to provide thrust. Also, because the Jetlev Flyer has all the heavy items, like the propulsion engine, fuel and related systems on a separate vessel tethered behind the jetpack, the overall weight of the bit in the air is significantly reduced.
          The Jetlev Flyer can be used in fresh water or sea water, using it over land is out of the question due to the massive amounts of water its jets blast out every second.

          Obviously that means every commuter's dream of jetpacking across a crowded city is impossible - unless you live in Venice - but as a recreational vehicle it beats anything on water.
When designing the Jetlev Flyer, the engineers focused on making it both safe and easy to fly. By restricting the hose length they imposed a relatively low flight ceiling of 33 ft (10m), and thanks to the jetpack's 5-point quick-release harness, protective back rest and head support, safety saddle and inherent floatation, it's not a case of sinking like a rock when you're in the water!
         

          According to the makers, the Jetlev Flyer is so easy to fly that after just a few minutes of training new pilots are ready to take to the air.
          Top speed of the Jetlev Flyer is around 22 mph, with a duration of 2-3 hours at cruising speed, or 1 hour if you want to keep the throttle at wide open.

          The Jetlev Flyer is available in a 250 horsepower, carbon-fiber construction model, or a 220 horsepower fiberglass construction model. It doesn't come cheap though. Prices range from $122,000 (€ 84,900) to $185,000 (€ 129,000). Although it's difficult to imagine any other vehicle, be it a supercar or superyacht, that'll get more attention down at the beach.

Gustav Hoegen−Master of Animatronic

We thought a skinless Predator head was unsettling — but that was before we saw the showreel of animatronic designer Gustav Hoegen. You have probably seen his work without realising it: his credits include Clash of the Titans (the remake), Prometheus, Doctor Who,Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

We have to say that, for sheer creepiness factor, his creations have the Predator beat. Watching the tiny motions that he's programmed into his robots to accurately mimic real movements and facial expressions is an unsettling experience — even with the skin on.

This is amazing stuff. Check it out in the video below.

A fine body of work: Artist turns humans into animals, fruit and landscapes in amazing paintings inspired by nature

The world's best bodypainter plays tricks with the mind with incredible body art in which his subjects disappear into their backgrounds.

Visual wiz Johannes Stoetter has replaced canvas with the human body, transforming his living models into objects inspired by the natural world.

Johannes, 35, spends up to five months painstakingly planning and perfecting each of his amazing creations.

Each work of art then takes up to eight hours to complete using special breathable paint.

The stunning creations, which include fruit made from painted heads, have earned Johannes the world bodypainting title.

Johannes, from South Tyrol in Italy, said: 'I did my first bodypainting experiment in 2000.

'Five years earlier I had the idea to paint a human body but it took me until I was 23 to try it.

'The experience was so special that I wanted to do it again immediately - I wanted to try it with different colours, a different model and a different motive.

Artwork ­--Witchblade

Drawing is my passion since child hood, and I like to continue this passion as long as I am still able to hold a pencil. I decided to post some of my artworks here for sharing.

Thank you guys who like my art, it is a booster jab for continuing my passion. And of course please leave your comment or input as I am still learning to become a better artist. I really appreciate it.

蓝宝坚尼限量版超跑 Lamborghini Veneno

Lamborghini celebrated its 50th anniversary in pretty remarkable style with the unveiling of its Veneno supercarat the Geneva Motor Show -- an utterly insane vehicle displaying scoops, wings, fins and an absurd amount of carbon fiber.

The Veneno name comes from a notorious fighting bull that killed a matador back in 1914 and is meant to echo the car's aggressive nature. Boasting numbers of 750 horsepower and a top speed of 220 MPH, "aggressive" might even be an understatement.

Lamborghini is only building four of these supercars at $3.9 million a pop. Unfortunately, even if you do sport the bankroll for one, Lamborghini has said that each of the cars has already found a home. Three are sold, and Lamborghini is keeping one for itself.

The car you see here, Lamborghini's test vehicle, is model number 0 and the only one that will be finished in this new gray metallic color and feature all of the colors of the Italian flag (green, red and white) as accents. The three customer cars, however, will each be finished in either green, red or white, thus making all three unique, as well as patriotic.

    蓝宝坚尼为了庆祝其成立50周年纪念，在日内瓦汽车展推出了限量版超跑 Veneno。这两以1914年闻名凶悍的斗牛为名的超跑拥有750匹马力，最高时速220英里。Veneno 设计外观凶悍，只能以疯狂来形容每一个设计细节。翼，鳍，进风口，都描绘出了这辆跑车极其高速的性能。

         Venono 每辆售价390万美元，但即使有钱也未必买得到。因为蓝宝坚尼只建造了四辆，其中三辆已经名车有主，剩下一辆蓝宝坚尼自己保留。

    三辆卖给客户的Veneno会各自以意大利国旗的绿色，红色，和白色涂装来完成。所以每一辆都是独特的。而蓝宝坚尼自己的保留车将会以金属灰色为主，加上绿红白三色边条为装饰，以表爱国。
