To create the MINI Cooper look different from the others, Liberty Walk provides a body kit made of plastic and carbon fiber. For the price, can be obtained by reaching US. $6,100 for plastic and US. $7,500 for carbon fiber.
Practically, this application makes the MINI display more aggressive. Moreover, aspects of aerodynamics also increased with the addition of new air grille and wing at the rear. Are you interested in pimping up your car? *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOEVOLUTION | LB-PERFORMANCE]
Lev Termen (Léon Theremin) demonstrating Termenvox, c. December 1927.(Picture from: http://bit.ly/1dgkizU)
In the 1920s, Léon Theremin had discovered the first electronic musical device and named it after himself the 'Theremin'. This unique musical instrument played without physical contact between the player with the instrument. To play the musical instrument musicians can stand in front of musical instrument that resembles a musical box.
The musician only needs to move his hands in a way closer the hands between two antennas are contained in the musical device. The distance from one antenna to the other determines the frequency (pitch), and the distance from other controls amplitude (volume).
Usually the players most often use the right hand to control the frequency and the left hand to control the volume, although there are some people who sometimes reverses its function.
The Theremin working principle is through radio frequency generated by the antenna on the Theremin and variable capacitors that generate the frequency. In the Theremin are two frequencies, where the one to set pitch or to play the tone, and the other one to adjust the volume. Movement of the hand near the antenna set the frequency to change circuits on the Theremin, which then controls the voice signal to be routed to the speakers.
The sound produced by the Theremin is often associated to a sound that has the sinister impression (make shudder) so often the Theremin use in the making of movie soundtracks such as Miklos Rozsa's in the Spellbound and The Lost Weekend, Bernard Herrmann's in The Day the Earth Stood Still and used also in the Midsomer Murders drama.
Let's look atthe videohow to playthisinstrument.
Theremin is a genuine product of the Russian government in the research on sensor senses. This instrument was invented by a young physicist named Lev Sergeivich Termen (also known as Léon Theremin) in October 1920 shortly after the outbreak of the Russian civil war. After obtaining a positive response in the Moscow Electronic Conference, Theremin demonstrated in front of the Bolshevik leader, Vladimir Lenin. Later, Lenin was impressed with the device and then began to study it.
Theremin then taken around the world and was introduced as the latest discovery by the Soviets in the field of electronic music technology. After a long journey across Europe, Theremin then the more well-known to the United States, and then patented in 1928. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | WIKIPEDIA]
There are many ways of expressing ideas for modifying motorcycles, ranging from the usual way to the extreme. Things that are common usually not very exciting to be discussed, but unlike the extreme things that usually bring something unique, beautiful so very interesting to be discussed. One is RK Racer, an extreme motorcycle modified conducted by RK Concepts.
RK Racer, one nasty motorcycle concept of RK Concepts. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1AP3Kde)
The RK Racer is one mean-looking sob. Every square inch of this one-off concept bike looks as if it’s ready to pounce and devour. Unfortunately, the way that the jagged metal is positioned, it’ll most likely be chewing on the unwitting driver. But motorcycles were never meant for the timid anyway.
The concept is built on top of a Buell 1200 and from an all aluminum 1" machined plate. The mid-section holds the fuel and oil which can be seen through the polycarbonate along the side. The Racer gets its racing stance from a short 27-degree rake and from its two 23″ wheels both dressed with tires from Vee Rubber in size 120/70R23.
The bike looks like it’s made completely of metal, but it’s gas and oil tanks are made out of glass believe it or not. This bike will drop jaws around your neighborhood for sure. Everything about the bike–from the front suspension to the kick stand–looks outlandish and exaggerated, but we kind of like it.
RK Concepts was born from owner Rafik Kaissi’s boredom with the same old same old in bike design. If you like this bike or have an uncontrollable curiosity as to what else the company offers, be sure to check out some other equally out-there concepts over at RK’s website.

A 15-year-old teenager designing great powered concept car for the United States (US) startup company called PSC Motors, and named 'SP-200 SIN,' a hybrid supercar powered 1,700 hp.
As quoted from Worldcarfans on Wednesday, June 3, 2015, a 15-year-old teenager who is responsible for the digital illustration named Jennarong Muengtaweepongsa (aka VanaticalDesign) from Bangkok, Thailand. Earlier, the teenager has also been digitally designing the Aston Martin DB11.
Digital design creations of Thailand teenager is quite impressive. As shown in the figure above, the car body is made slender with dual fog lights mounted exactly in the middle of the bumper. While the LED headlamp is made quite thin.
Side mirrors made very thin. This form is, of course, be replaced with a more conventional part if the concept SIN SP-200 is manufactured. Just like the original, the roof of the car is also built using carbon fiber.
The SP-200 SIN combines a V8 engine with a single electric motor. V8 engine capable to be sprayed up to 100 hp, while the electric motor adds approximately 650 hp which makes the car can go up to 450 km/h.
According to the company's CEO, Antonio Calva, this car will begin production in 2016 and produced only 35 units. It is unclear whether the digital design of 15-year-old teenager will be fully implemented or only partially.. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | VANATICALDESIGN | WORLDCARFANS]

Most of the components of this bike is made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic material by using a 3-D printer. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1KFuc9s)
TE Connectivity claims took 1,000 hours to design and print the motor at a cost of approximately US $25 thousand (Rp. 330 million). This amount may be reduced if the manufacturer has a more adequate technology.
At first glance, many people did not think the big motorcycle made by a printer and take the HD Softail as the model. But in fact, most of the components of this bike is made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic material by using a 3-D printer.
Here are several pictures of the TE Connectivity fully-functional 3D-printed motorcycle. (All pictures taken from: http://bit.ly/1KFuc9s)
Neither the frame until all the pads are made of advanced 3-D technology. To make this big motor function, then given extra such as tires, brakes, rearview mirror until the electrical components including motors with power 1 hp.
This unique motorcycle has a weight 181 kilograms (with the engine weight 113.4 kg) is claimed to be capable of traveling at 15 mph in a few minutes.
