Powerloader Light Exo-Suit Adds 40kg of Kick-Power to Your Legs

Image
If this exo-suit is the Powerloader Light, I'm guessing this is the Powerloader. It can increase leg power by 40kg, though at a cost of $223,000, none of us will be kicking someone while wearing it anytime soon.  Panasonic is selling the Powerloader Light for half that price to developers ($111,500), with the request that any research must be presented within the first year. The idea behind it is that it can help with rehabilitation, but when it runs on Linux 2.6 and can be modded both at software and hardware levels, I know what I'd be using it for. Kicking down pinatas and sprinting off with my spoils, yes. Source:[VIA plasticpals ]

Why We Hack: The Benefits of Disobedience

Image
  Sometimes disobedience is necessary and good when rules fail us, and it's at the core of why we hack. Hacking is a means of expressing dissatisfaction, confounding the mechanism, and ultimately doing better. Here's why it's so important. Much of today's entertainment focuses on vigilantes, serial killers, and traditionally bad people. The common thread? They all promote disobedience as a virtue. How do you relate to a serial killer like Dexter? You do it because he murders other serial killers—read: bad people . He does something wrong because good behavior won't accomplish what needs to be done. It's this same mentality, this same brand of unrest, that fuels all kinds of disobedience. In particular, it's why we hack. What I Mean When I Say "Hack" Hacking can be defined a few ways, from the more innocent type of life hacking we generally talk about to the darker side of the spectrum where people are actually carrying out highly ill...

Hand made Grenades

Image
Grenades are the common and the most destructive armed weapons in the army battle field and many of the wars. They explode and leave destruction. I'm talking about the armed grenades being used in the battle fields. But, the grenades I have here are unarmed and are the geeky gadgets made in the grenades design. 1. Grenade Piggy Bank 2. Hand Grenade Alarm Clock 3. Grenade Oil Lamp 4. Grenade Mouse 5. Grenade MP3 Player 6. Grenade Screwdriver Set 7. Grenade Watch 8. Grenade Cigarette Lighter 9. Grenade Mobile Design  This is the grenade mobile phone design and unfortunately it is just a design as of now. Hope will see the live phone in near future. Source [via gizmodo ]

Lee Enfield Bolt Action Sniper Rifle (working)

Image
a working lee enfield bolt action sniper rifle with detachable sniper scope and bi-pod, fed from 8 brick magazines. T his is by far the best rifle I have ever made. It is a working magazine-fed rifle in bolt-action configuration, with detachable magazines, sniper scope and bi-pod You can see a video   here   that explains all of what I'm about to say   'Bolt action' means that every time you want to load a round, you flick the bolt lever up, pull it backwards, push it forwards again and flip it down. By doing this you will extract a 1x4 brick from the magazine, pull back the 'hammer' (rubber band), insert the brick into the chamber and hook the rubber band onto the back of it. Bolt-action rifles were one of the first types of repeating rifle, along with the pump-action and lever-action. They were used in WWI and WWII, as they are reliable and easy to use.   This rifle has a sniper scope, bi-pod stand and 2 8-round magazines. The stand is collapsible and d...
