The owner of Hotelicopper has been trying to create the world’s largest helicopter as well as the world’s first flying hotel by modifying a Soviet-made Mil V-12 since 2004. This massive flying machine features everything from room service and private entertainment systems to extras like yoga classes, tea garden, spa treatment, gaming and many others that someone would anticipate from a 5-star hotel. With the length of 42m and 14m of height, this giant aircraft can fly with a maximum weight of 232,870 lb. Maximum speed of this flying hotel is 255 km/h and expected cruising speed is 237 km/h.

Ryan Skelley conceived the concept of The Sunbeam Tiger during his Transportation Design course on Coventry University. It is an electric drivetrain with a pack of lithium-titanate battery which takes fewer times to charge than a lithium-ion battery. A fully charged battery can last around 4 hours along with the discretionary 3-phase charger which have made the maximum range of this car around 800 miles. Skelley has shown theoretically that the car can go 0-60 mph within 2.3 seconds and the top speed would be just around 160 mph. Moreover, the proposed materials for constructing the Sunbeam Tiger are extremely recyclable and eco-friendly.

“You can see them but they can’t see you”. I believe this is what EyeClops Night Vision Goggles are all about. These night vision goggles enable your explorer to see in absolute darkness. With the help of EyeClops portable microscope attached atop the goggles, your adventure can see what hides in the dark and produce close-ups of whatever they spotlight on. This product uses actual night vision technology. I bought these night vision goggles at $79.99 and I guess they are really cheap as compared to what they provide us. These goggles come from the company “EyeClops” which is known for manufacturing both educational and technological toys for kids. According to me, Night Vision goggle is the most impressive product they have ever made.
