Fab Lab

Invention kits to build anything - Forbes.com- msnbc.com

A laser cutter, computer controlled router, minature drilling mill, powered by open source software and micro-controllers, makes up the Fab(rication) Lab(oratory). These kits can make almost anything and have the potential to even reproduce themselves by making parts. The goal is a 'Star Trek' style replicator where the labs can create 3D photocopies of just about anything.

Electric/Hybrid Motorbike/Car

Initially only available in California, this vehicle called the Aptera (meaning wingless flight in Greek) is a two and a bit seater electric or hybrid three-wheeled enclosed motorcycle.




A prototype with a parallel hybrid diesel boasted an average of 230 MPG
(1.02 Litres per 100K). But because of emissions restrictions, the
hybrid model will use a small water-cooled EFI gasoline engine with
closed loop oxygen feedback and catalytic converter.

Gadget recommendations wanted

We're thinking electronics such as a digital camera, smarter phones, etc.
