World’s Largest LEGO Model: Star Wars X Wing Starfighter

Forty-two times larger than the toy set currently available in stores, this Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter is made of over five million LEGO bricks weighing a whopping 45,000 pounds. Assembled in the LEGO model shop in Kladno, Czech Republic, the model is 43 feet long and 11 feet high with a wing span of 44 feet. It was unveiled in New York City’s Times Square on May 23rd, and will be on display for Memorial Day weekend before reaching its final destination at Legoland in California.

The model had to be carefully engineered with a steel framework system in order to withstand all of the travel, breakdown and re-assembly required to transport it across the Atlantic Ocean and from one side of UK to the next.

It took an international team of designers, builders, engineers, mechanics and logistics experts over a year to devise the plan that brought the massive model from concept sketches to reality. The time it took to construct the model, which is made using the same LEGO bricks sold at retail, was 17,336 hours, or about four months.

The model can seat multiple fans in the cockpit for photo opportunities, and its four rear engines light up to a glowing neon red. “We thought it would be a great idea to say ‘What if you took this, scaled it up to the size of what a real X-wing looks like, and here’s the end result,’” LEGO Master Builder Erik Varszegi told MTV Geek.

The principle of evaporative cooling has been used to increase the humidity in dry climatic regions, and this cooler concept is based on the same technology. Air coolers are environmentally-friendly compared to air conditioners which release CFC gas; air coolers do not emit hazardous greenhouse gases responsible for global warming. Cool-I air cooler concept is a compact, trendy and sleek design, it has rust proof thermoplastic body, high cooling, both manual and digital water level indicator, multiple speed control to keep you cool in the summer.

Philography: Complex Philosophy Meets Graphic Simplicity

The bigger the idea, the harder to understand, let alone distill. That is the idea and challenge  behind this growing set of graphic designs that seek to capture big ideas in simple shapes and single-sentence explanations.

Philography: Complex Philosophy Meets Graphic Simplicity

Dubbed Philographics by their creator,  Genís Carreras, the original set contained just 24 designs, but has grown into a series of 95 (so far). Idealism, Dualism, Existentialism – if you can think of an ‘ism’ from philosophy, you can almost certainly find it represented here.

Philography: Complex Philosophy Meets Graphic Simplicity

And consider the alternative, hundreds, thousands, maybe tens of thousands of words in the dictionary definitions of such terms – a great way to flesh out your knowledge, but hardly the place to get started.

Philography: Complex Philosophy Meets Graphic Simplicity

In fact, philosophy schools often force students to better understand philosophers and philosophies by condensing and summarizing – having to articulate long thoughts in short form helps the brain process and codify that information.

Philography: Complex Philosophy Meets Graphic Simplicity

As for the forms these are taking: the Kickstarter project (funded at nearly four times the initial goal) has been such a success that what started as posters has branched into postcards and, in pre-production, softcover,  hardcover and electronic book editions as well.

Tinshed: Home Rebuilt from Shreds of Scrappy Shack

In a sleepy suburb of Sydney, Australia, long since taken over by mainly-one-story houses, sat a disused metal-sided shed. An ad hod affair, it was a rare leftover of what was once an industrial neighborhood, destined for demolition but instead converted into a strange new home.

Tinshed: Home Rebuilt from Shreds of Scrappy Shack

The newly-reconstituted building dubbed ‘Tinshed’  by Raffaello Rosselli (images by Mark Syke) is made from the metal of the old abandonment. It is still pockmarked, with a haphazard surface that slips between gray, green, white and red – its panels overlapping in odd and seemingly chaotic patchwork patterns. Now, however, it these frame a few more oddities, like windows for the first time in the site’s life.

Tinshed: Home Rebuilt from Shreds of Scrappy Shack

Inside, the building has immaculate flat white walls and crisp curved surfaces, reflecting its fresh purpose as a studio (on the first floor) dwelling and office space (on the second level). The juxtaposition of interior and exterior is fitting, as the entire structure is itself a strange addition to its surroundings.

This project is called Mobility Hybrid Concept Car, a 2-seater compact hybrid vehicle with spacious cabin where you can keep 2 collapsible pedelecs or pedal electric bikes under the boot. The batteries of these bikes can be charged in the car or a socket outlet, the bike and the car feature common design lines that reflect they are hybrids.

The main goal by integrating pedelecs in the car is to provide higher individual mobility allowing you to easily adapt to traffic in the city or countryside. Commuters can easily park their cars somewhere outskirts of the city and then continue their journey with pedelecs, avoiding rush hour traffic and parking space problem at the city center. Instead of using public transport, you would enjoy riding your bike while exploring the city.

Designer : Emin Ayaz

2 Seater Mobility Hybrid Concept Car with Spacious Cabin

Powered by a hybrid engine, this car offers small yet spacious cabin. The ability to store 2 collapsible pedelecs doesn’t sacrifice the storage space for your luggage. When you driving the car at high speed, the electric engine turns off and the combustion engine turns on. The car’s front and headlights change color based on the power mode: electric or fuel mode.
