Indoor Skydiving

Entertainment February 6th, 2008



This is definitely something for me. I always wanted to try skydiving but the thought of falling from high altitude stopped me from trying skydiving. The fear of height and the thought that something can go wrong with the parachute just kills my mood and there would be no “happy times” doing that.

Some good people probably had that in mind when they came to idea of indoor skydiving. You don’t need to fly with an airplane, you don’t need to be falling from a high altitude and if you do fall here, you won’t even get bruised. Hm, when you consider all of this, it looks like this is a loser version of skydiving. Well, the way I see it – safety first!

Indoor Skydiving

The difference between indoor and outdoor skydiving is present, but it’s not questionable that you can break the bonds of gravity and let your body fly inside a room as well as outside. The wind blowing is still there and the feeling of being light as a feather. You have the chance to test your skills of flying in a safe conditions. Also, you’ll save time. Just try to imagine how much time does a trip to the airport, taking off with the plane and finally jumping take. You could lose whole day for just one flight experience.

Talking about experience, for indoor skydiving you don’t need any of it. You will learn all you need to know with the instructor at the location you choose for your skydiving. If you want to see how that looks like, take a peek at this video clip.

Cool, right? And you want to try it right away? Ok, but first you need to check is there an indoor skydiving location near you. Check out this link for locations in US and around the world. And have fun!

HF Mach 3.0 RC Car

Toy February 6th, 2008



Yes, you’ve read the title well. Corgi International is a well known company that decided to go step further in the business of manufacturing toys, gizmos and gadgets. And with this step they definitely made their company something special.

The RC car, known as the HF Mach 3.0 is the first toy to be produced as a result of a strategic partnership between Corgi International and Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies. Of course, Corgi needed help to make this happen and they chose global leader in developing innovative fuel cell technologies. Hydrogen powered RC car is a breakthrough in a toy industry, according to the experts, but I would say it is more then that.

HF Mach 3.0

Besides being powered by hydrogen fuel and thus being environmentally friendly, HF Mach 3.0 is made using lightweight wheat-based plastics and boasts fully recyclable packaging. Can you say perfectionism?

One thing that could prevent parents from buying this hydrogen powered RC car is the unlimited source of energy. Will their children ever be able to stop playing with it and drive their parents loco? Maybe there will be some solution for this later, but for now, HF Mach 3.0 doesn’t have any power limits. The on-board hydrogen fuel cell uses sun and water to supply itself with renewable, clean energy for a never ending play time.

All you need to do to power this RC car is to use a regular water and the car’s refueling station will split water by electrolysis into oxygen and hydrogen. The hydrogen is then captured for use as fuel for the car. Simple, effective and clean.

HF Mach 3.0 comes with a solar panel, refueling station, the car itself and a remote control. The final cost will be somewhere around $300.
