Morgan Goes Back to the Future With 1930s-Style Hydrogen Car

Morgan Motor Co., the tiny British automaker so old-fashioned it still uses wood frames, is stepping well into the future with LifeCar, a hydrogen fuel cell hybrid it says will prove “a zero-emission vehicle can be fun to drive.”

Before people start commenting about how making hydrogen is not all that cost effective and other bozos commenting about using windmills and such, please notice the comment …viable - if distant - alternative…. This just means that once…

A submarine roadster?

The sQuba is an all-electric vehicle with three motors, one to drive the car on land and two to power a pair of screw drives for underwater movement. These are aided by two Seabob jet drives that “breathe” through rotating louvers mounted on the car’s fenders and appear to give the car its maneuverability underwater. See it to believe it.

I don’t know about you but I’ve been trying to find a practical solution as to how to get to my secret underwater compound by myself.Renting a boat and just leaving it floating there while I dived to get into my compound just didn’t…

The Third Reich’s Diabolical Orbiting Superweapon

The military masterminds’ of the Third Reich’s most sinister ambitions were embodied in their behemoth Sonnengewehr, or “Sun Gun” project– an orbital weapon intended to exact fiery punishment upon the enemies of the Third Reich.

End of the Road for Polaroid Instant Film

Polaroid Corp. is dropping the technology it pioneered long before digital photography rendered instant film obsolete to all but a few nostalgia buffs. This year’s closures will leave Polaroid with 150 employees at its Concord headquarters and a site in the nearby Boston suburb of Waltham, down from peak global employment of nearly 21,000 in 1978.

As it seeks to gain a foothold in digital photography this year, Polaroid plans to sell an 8-ounce photo printer slightly bigger than a deck of cards that requires no ink and prints business card-sized pictures. It uses thermal printing…

Small wonder: inside Intel’s Silverthorne ultramobile CPU

Intel is taking on the embedded space with a brand new microarchitecture: Silverthorne. The chipmaker disclosed new details of the tiny, low-power x86 chip that will be its weapon in the coming battle for your pocket.

Having tried a few of Intel’s Silverthorne-based prototypes, I must say that I wasn’t particularly impressed. I own a Nokia N800 and an iPhone, both of which are ARM-based and both of which give a nearly complete Internet experience in a…
