When Garbage Trucks Explode

SFOGuy says...

That seems like a lot of gas...maybe someone was cleaning out an entire garage (estate sale?) and dumped ALL the cans of spray paint into a box and a liquid propane container marked "empty" (jokes on you) and all that got tossed in there?

Someone may have tossed out a pressurized canister of some sort and the trash guys didn't notice.

Those doors/plates flying off were intense.

Oh yeah. I still have a couple of VHS tapes of Liquid Television in the garage, including the entire Aeon Flux series they aired. Good times.

remember in the 80's MTV had a show called "liquid television"?
remember aeon flux?

Origami gate is cool

newtboy says...

Excellent. I love to see someone take something as ubiquitous as a swinging garage door and make something new and different to perform the same task.
Keep in mind this is just the framework. I'm sure they'll cover it with something to make it a real useable door/gate with 4 triangular panels per side. A mosaic design that works open or closed seems perfect.

*quality design.

Oil Change Scam - Canada

Payback says...

I always feel sorry for people who don't understand just how ridiculously easy it is to do an oil change by yourself in your garage or even your driveway.

The newer the car is, the easier it is to do. Dealerships demand it to increase profit margins.

Oil changes are stupid easy.

I like to impress people with my Lamborghini by revving it

Bicimaquinas: Bike Powered Machines

Buttle says...

A generation or two ago I doubt that poor Guatemalans could get fat, regardless of culture, because they simply didn't have access to the surplus energy required. This surplus energy shows up in nitrate fertilizers used for agriculture, powered tools of all sorts, and manufactured goods, like used bicycles.

It comes, of course, from fossil fuels.

A bicycle may seem a simple and primitive device, but just try to build a bicycle chain in your home workshop and you will see that making safety bicycles is possible only in a modern industrial state. It's not surprising that the development of the safety bicycle only barely preceded that of the automobile and the airplane.

The bicimaquina raw material is discarded bicycles from richer people -- nothing wrong with that, it's good, frugal engineering. But it should be borne in mind when plotting the future that hardly used bicycles are not a renewable resource, and require energy and infrastructure to produce.

Bicycling does give one a good appreciation of the value of energy. For example, 125 Watts is a respectable output for a touring cyclist; keep that up for 8 solid hours, and you have one kilowatt-hour. One kW-hr is a day at hard labor. A typical household in the developed world uses the equivalent of the labor of three or four hard-laboring slaves every day.

Of course, those slaves aren't the most efficient. You'll notice that the machines shown all use a direct mechanical drive. They could generate electricity, but that would cost -- multiply a few 90% efficiencies together and pretty soon you're getting nothing done by leg power.

Bicycle drive does allow good power production from human beings, and multi-geared bicycles are adaptable to people of differing strength. Not as much fun as flipping a switch, but easier than turning a crank.

It's plain that cheap fossil fuels won't last forever, indeed they may not last for much longer, and probably will never be available to much of the world at the same level as we currently enjoy in the US or Australia. Will we find ourselves scouring garages and cellars for disused bicycles?

Likely North American influence upon their culture. Many of the poorest in our countries are riddled with pop and fast food, so it makes sense it would be similar elsewhere.

Dear Baby, Your Dad Makes Cool Shit: Rocking Contraption

bremnet says...

Ok, this can't be real... dad with a newborn that has this much free time on his hands? Over 6 minutes of uninterrupted garage time... no way. (or you could just buy one at WeBeBabys or BabysR'Us or whatever it's called.)

Sheep Vs Cow-Double KO

poolcleaner says...

I once had a seizure and fell down, smashing my head against the corner of a vice in my friends garage.

It looked like I had probably died but I didn't. Do we know this cow died or it just looks like it? Not that I care THAT much. It's a cow. I'm a human, not that much better really, but you know.

skinnydaddy1 said:

Damn it..... Ok, bad news time. Sorry...

I'm pretty sure that just killed the cow.....
