50 cool things to have on water

May 16th, 2005 * Comments(0)

Among others listed on GizMag are my favorites:

 Underwater MP3 player which uses bones in the skull to conduct sound waves

 Alfa Romeo – a 90ft carbon fibre beauty powered by huge North Sails hung on a 135ft mast

 Deep Flight personal submarine for underwater frequent flyer miles.

 Bombardier Invitation – a sailboat for 2025…. invite me, invite me!!

and the winner is….
 Human Powered Hydrofoil
Industrial design excellence… how this thing stays above the surface and going forward at 20mph has to be pure poetry in motion. 70 prototypes were built through various design stages. That’s a lot…

Cost? $1000

Though not waterborn this  Bombardier Embrio concept is definitely worth mentioning. Hidrogen powered, one wheeled, gyroscopicaly stabilized transport takes its cue from the famous Segway.

Remote controlled

Na travniku proti Kamnici sem že nekajkrat opazoval skupino, ki se v popoldanskem èasu zabava z vodenimi modeli jadralnih letal. Problem je bil samo v tem da sem bil vedno brez kamere ali pa brez pravega objektiva

Lonely Planet ima v svoji zbirki KONÈNO tudi nekaj uporabnega

samo nekaj primerov:

SLIGHT-HITCH-TRAVEL:
Go to your nearest motorway slip-road with a backpack on and a large piece of card (approx 20*50 cm). Write the name of a faraway destination on your piece of card eg, Buenos Aires, Shanghai, etc. Stand by the side of the road, stick your thumb out and wait
DODECATOURISM:
All Twelve-travel itineraries should be built around the number twelve. Examples:
Take a train that leaves at 12.12 and get off at the twelfth stop
Walk or swim along the twelfth line of latitude
Do a tour of hotels, only staying in room number 12
Begin a round-the-world trip with only £/$12/€ in your pocket
Journey along motorways or highways that are number 12
A-Z-travel:
Choose a town to visit from A to Z. Find the first road beginning with A and the last beginning with Z, and draw a line between the two. Walk the length of this line and discover the city alphabetically.

definitivno nekaj zame
