Hoverit Floating Lounger
February 3, 2008
Designed and built by Hoverit Ltd, the Hoverit floating lounger is just the first piece of their hovering furniture line. This hand made limited edition lounge chair is made from clear acrylic, uses magnets to hover in mid air and is equipped with an anti-scratch mat and castors at the base to allow for easy moving. Supposedly the permanent magnets can also help your back, muscular problems and headaches along with the sensation of floating on a cloud. Not yet in production, the price of this floating plastic lounge chair is unknown, but is sure to be on the pricey side. I have to admit it looks kinda cool but it definitely does not look comfortable.
Saab Aero X
February 1, 2008
The Saab Aero X is a concept car with no doors, no keys and exceptional fuel economy. The Aero X is powered by a 400 hp 2.8-liter V6 twin turbo with aluminum construction that runs on pure ethanol and has a seven speed automated manual transmission with double clutch system. Weighing roughly 3000 pounds with acceleration of 0-60 in 4.9 secs and a top speed of 155 mph, its not exactly the fastest sports car there is, but what it lacks in speed it makes up for in design and fuel economy.
Built around the design of a fighter jet, it has a full 180 degree field of view with a fighter jet style cockpit that opens up with a push of a button. The Aero X has a multi functional control system on the center console that provides maximum control and allows the driver to start the car, open the canopy and change gears. Currently just a concept car Audi is planning on a production car inspired by the Saab Aero X and will most likely make it’s debut within the next year or so.
