Alternative Propulsion: Coca Cola Rocket Car
In a world where everything seems to be revolving around oil, we're frenetically trying to find an alternative to the gas problem we're facing. It isn't always about finding a new source of energy or finding something else we can deplete over time. It's mostly about making what we have at our dispos ...
Star Wars X-Wing Fighter Soapbox Derby Car
As a kid, my brother and I were always talking about the ultimate soapbox car, and how it would be built. We had a couple of runs building some, which to our amazement, were quite fast and cool. However, the designs were nothing that gave us bragging rights, but that of course didn't matter to us. W ...
The REAL Working Lego Car
Anyone who has been following Bit Rebels since the very beginning remembers my article about the Lego car that traveled the world as a life-size car made entirely out of Lego. The article "Can't Afford A Car? Build A Lego One..." attracted a lot of views and still stands as the record article for mo ...
22,600 Watt Car Stereo Destroys Phone Book
There are a lot of cool and different kinds of technologies out there that will amaze you, but when it comes to sound, it's a different thing altogether. In my studio I have amplifiers and speakers that can handle up to 2,000 watts if necessary, but playing anything on that level would destroy many ...
Car Bathtub: The Geek Way To Stay Young Forever
When I was a kid, I remember having a friend who had one of those car shaped beds. If I remember right, I think it was a Ferrari shaped in plastic. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. As a young boy, you tend to like things that are a little bit over the top, I know. But since then, that trend ...
Mazda Envisions Creating Their Future Car Today
Cars are the mode of transportation that keep our butts moving from point A to B in a more personal way than using public transportation. However, we've grown quite aware that using gas is no where near what we should be using to transport ourselves, and we're slowly making progress in that area. ...
A Little Design Inspired By Parking Jackasses
What is it about people who park badly that inspires us to act? It's the strangest thing to me because even though it's completely annoying to see someone park like an idiot, I can think of waaaaaaay more needling pet peeves of mine than that. Regardless, everyone from designers to moms seem to ge ...

The Evolution Of The Batmobile [Infographic]
It's interesting to see what Christopher Nolan did with the whole Batman concept. It went from having dwindling movie goers to pure success. Sure, much of the success of the movie "Batman: The Dark Knight" was due to the untimely death of Heath Ledger, but the movie was also insanely cool and ente ...
Baby Darth Vader’s Discovery Of The Force
Before the Star Wars movies became household names for awesomeness, we didn't know anything about the force. It simply wasn't a part of our vocabulary. We had no clue what light sabres were, and we definitely didn't know anything about a creature named Yoda or what the Death Star was. We lived pr ...

Transformers: The Cars Behind The Robots [Infographic]
I was never a huge Transformers fan as a kid. There, I said it! Even though that might sound weird coming from someone claiming to be in the realm of the uber geeks, it simply never caught my fancy. Why I have no idea really. Watching the blockbuster movies today put it all in a skewed perspecti ...
Technology: A Parking Spot Locator for Your iPhone!
Wow, for people who live in a big city, like me, finding this app is like winning the lottery. Ok, maybe it's not quite that good. But how many times have you had an important meeting with a client or friend scheduled, and you end up being late because you can't find a parking space?
I've exper ...
Smart Stand: Smartphone Car Dock Stand With A Twist!
I don't know how many times I have wondered why there are no cool stands or docks for our car when it comes to smartphones. It would be so much safer because the driver could concentrate on driving a lot more instead of trying to find the phone in his or her pocket when it rings. It would also ena ...
Used Computer Parts Become Realistic Vehicles
Being a computer geek, I have tons of used hard drives, mice and other items all connected to a computer. Due to the fact the upgrades are always incorporated, the old gear gets the boot and ends up in a box down in the basement. Why I put it there, I have no idea. Maybe it's because I am hoping ...
Low on Cash? Paint Your Car with a Sharpie!
Remember the guy back in 2008 who painted his Lamborghini with a sharpie? I suppose saying "painted his car" is a stretch. Instead I'll say he "decorated his car" with a sharpie. In case you missed that a few years ago, I put some pictures below. Fast forward to 2010, now it seems someone else h ...
The World’s Cheapest Car Is Now The World’s Most Expensive!
Buying a car is a whole science, and finding the right one for you isn't always the easiest of tasks. Making sure it fits your economy should be the easiest thing, while knowing what you'll get is probably the hardest. Some manufacturers focus on creating the next luxury car for the rich, and other ...
