Good god… I mean, I don’t know what to say… Is it worth the 20+ thousands it’s probably going to bring? Maybe not, but I don’t give a damn. This is just rad.
At its simplest, this is a set of modular batteries used to store energy for when you don’t have any. For instance, if you have one charged and ready to go when a storm runs through and kills your power, you will have enough juice to run your lights. If you have two charged, you might have enough to run all of your appliances as well. And so on…
Pretty interesting idea for people that have frequent, but temporary power outages.
George Bamford, for all intents and purposes, is a timepiece customizer. He takes expensive watches, customizes them to his own taste, and then sells them as his own line. He’s also a car guy… His collections of both are pretty interesting…
Giaco is the guy behind the MakerKnife – a gorgeously designed, but inconsistently manufactured utility knife. And now, he’s come out with his own flashlight. Honestly, I don’t see a lot of ground being broken here.
I never knew these existed… Essentially, Bill Collins (formerly of DeLorean) designed a Motorhome called the Vixen 21 and it was available from 1986 until 1989 or so. Initially, the motorhome featured a pop top and an incredibly efficient BMW M21 turbo-diesel capable of more than 30mpg. As sales lagged and financial troubles burdened, however, Vixen started shorting the motorhome by getting rid of the pop-top and exchanging the diesel for a 3800 Buick V6.
Apparently, people still love these things… Just over 300 were ever produced.
