MINI COOPER LIMO

This adaptation of the standard Mini Cooper S series, not only stretches 6 metres, but includes an integrated whirlpool in the rear of the car, designed and built by a Los Angeles Coach builder. Named the Mini XXL, this car is one of a kind, packing a small swimming pool into the back for those long journeys.Easy to operate and accomodating 2 people with a detachable roof for increased privacy, or to simply conceal the pool.In order to empty the pool, you simply pull the plug to drain away the water. In addition to the pool, there also includes a retractable flat-screen TV, DVD player, air conditioning, full black leather and a telephone to allow communication with the driver situated 6 metres in front.We're a little concerned that the car failed to include a basketball court though, although maybe that's due in the next edition.

UNO BIKE

For travel, many of us opt for a motorbike, whist very few of us have the time to learn to ride the more comical unicycle. Well, an 18 year-old scientist by the name of Ben J. Poss Gulak, has decided to merge both modes of transport, and develop what he has termed, 'Uno'. The bike caught the attention of many attendees to the 2008 National Motorcycle Show in Toronto, either because they thought it was cool or to determine what it actually was. The common wheel set-up, of one at the back and one at the front has been revolutionised into two wheels sitting side by side. The Uno also utilises rear footpegs and a considerably smaller chassis.Amazingly, the Uno weighs only 120lbs and has no controls, except for a simple on/off switch. In order to move, you lean your body in the direction, so leaning back kicks the Uno into reverse. The Uno's speed id controlled by how far you lean forward or back and is completely controlled by an ECU (electronic control unit) which is attached to the motor. The Uno is currently a one-off, but looks and sounds very cool indeed!

keyboard wafals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This invention is still in its prototype stage yet aims to utilise defunct products and apply a different purpose to them. The Corona-Matic Waffle Maker makes waffles in the shape of computer keyboards. The gadget transforms an old style of writing equipment into a kitchen appliance which can cook up a few tasty treats.The inventor of the Corono-Matic is Chris Dimino, which was a group project at the School of Visual Arts. The task set for the students was to modify an exiting useless product into something which could be used nowadays, revolutionising the product and its use. The invention is yet to enter the mainstream market, but we think it will only be a matter of time, and also expect some other wild transformations from the young inventor also.
