Did you hear that? That was the sound of my EEG going haywire. I get triggered during every summer Olympics by what sports are and aren’t part of the games. The ho-hum legacy Olympic sports that are still included are one thing (humans hate breaking tradition), but a handful of…

It’s not every day that a new form of transportation comes along, never mind one that’s also delightfully environmentally friendly. I speak of the Airlander 10, a Hybrid Air Vehicle (HAV), the first new commercial airship developed in almost a century and 84 years since the Hindenburg canceled airship travel…

I’ve been to Norway eight times (Hello, my name is Leif!), but only once in winter which, I won’t sugarcoat it, kinda sucked. That said, if the idea of a shimmering, multi-colored light show the fills the whole sky has any appeal at all, this northern lights video might cause…

Yeah, it’s fair to say they kind of reinvented the wheel. MIT has developed a self-charging, electric hybrid wheel capable of producing up to 250 watts of power which, when added to the 75 watts an average cyclist generates, means mountains become virtual molehills.

Suffice to say, the Outlier Doublebag was invented for people like me – meaning normal, sensible people. In short, this genius invention not only compresses clothes so you can cram even more…

It’s difficult to not to geek out over the Jet Capsule mini-yacht. It’s just so quintessentially European. Modest and affordable, while being comfortable and attractive. I mean look at it! It looks like a frickin’ Star Trek shuttle craft! Made in Italy, the Jet Capsule measures 23 feet long, 13…

OK, it’s a bit of a stretch to say the V-Tex “reverse microwave” beverage rapid cooling system is travel-related – for now. But mark my words, in five years one of these doohickeys is going to be in every five-star hotel room and hostel common room. The idea was to…

Can’t find the spare $250,000 to get yourself into Sir Richard Branson’s rocket plane glider thingamajig? Well thanks to World View Enterprises, you have options. World View Enterprises has gotten FAA approval to take budget-minded space enthusiasts up into near-space in an over-sized soda can with windows, suspended by a…
