Watch That Tiny $74 1.5GHz Android-Powered Thumb-Puter In Action Aside from Thanko, the craziest Japanese manufacturers we know of would probably be Solid Alliance. You know, the people who brought you the USB Food Hub? They’ve got a new hub out now called the USB Engine Hub.
We should tell our greasemonkey brothers at Jalopnik about this engine case mod that looks like a big honkin’ V8 engine. Some talented and creative guy took a couple of tower cases, strapped them together in a V shape, added chrome headers and engine-y doodads, and wow. Is that an ignition key? Ha.

Look at that. It’s a drag racin’ PC mod that’s not exactly authentic but still looks fast even when it’s sitting still. We especially like those Corvette flags up front. Bravo. – Charlie White

We were impressed by the radio controlled Steam Turbine Tank even before we learned that turbines were far more difficult to work with than steam piston engines. But knowing that the project was a real pain in the butt for the inventor only makes our 5-minute infatuation all the more sweet.
Powered by a Jensen miniature steam engine (you’ve seen them in before your yuppie catalogue of choice), the Steam Turbine Tank can run for 15 minutes at very low speeds but with surprisingly high levels of log-climbing torque. There’s a video after the jump that will make your ears bleed because of this engine. But without at least partial deafness, you really aren’t getting the full experience.
SkiBob is like a miniature jet ski that can pull you along on the surface or under water. It uses a combination of a 5hp electric motor along with an electric jet stream to propel you through the water at a brisk 12.5mph, letting you swim faster than all but the quickest fish.
It’s safe, too, turning off and floating back to the surface if you let go of it. If you’re not wearing scuba tanks, you can set it to automatically turn off when it gets to a depth of around 8 feet, but then you can set it for a maximum depth of over 120 feet if you’re a brave soul with air tanks on your back.
How does it work?
