“Designer John ‘Wilhelm’ Dunn of the Victorian Steam Calculation Engine Company originally created this steampunk mod on commission for Sony, but is now selling the same thing as a mod for your own laptop. The primary components of the eCog Mercury include beautifully-finished birch plywood trim, retro key caps, and a grid of copper and steel ‘pipes’ (actually wires and drawer pulls) and (non-functional) gauges which protrude from the back of the laptop’s display, which John refers to as his boilerplate design.” w/ photos

“A tire company says it’s new invention could put an end to frustrating slow punctures and dangerous high-speed blow-outs. Bridgestone says its groundbreaking new prototype airless tire never goes flat. It is made of a recyclable plastic resin weaved into a mesh of spokes to support the tread of the tire. The flexible design plays a key part in assuring the tire does not collapse – performing the function air pressure does in regular tires. According to Bridgestone, the ‘non-pneumatic’ tire is at an early stage of development but should eventually be available in retail vehicles.” w/ photo
