Van Rysel Airbag Project Skinsuit Cyclists
Pro cycling is getting faster each season, crashes are becoming more common, and although riders accept the risks as part of the sport, one company is aiming to reduce the damage without slowing anyone down. Van Rysel has created a skinsuit with its own built-in airbag system, which is literally sewed directly into the cloth. This suit was developed in collaboration with In&motion, the same team that created airbags for skiers and bikers, and it looks and feels exactly like any other race-ready gear. Cyclists put it on, zip it up, and forget about the extra gear until it’s actually needed.

Anbernic RG Rotate Handheld
Anbernic’s new throwback handheld, the RG Rotate, is bringing swivel screens, which were once the hallmark of flip phones, right up to date.

The square display rotates 90 degrees on a specially made, incredibly thin metal hinge when you gently nudge it. You won’t have to worry about the hinge failing on you anytime soon because it is designed to endure years of regular use.

Toyota CUE7 Basketball Robot 2026
On April 12, crowds flocked to Toyota Arena in Tokyo to witness CUE7 come to life on the court. Standing 219 cm (7’2″) tall, it moved with an unsettlingly steady balance as it retrieved a basketball off the ground. When the robot began to move, it appeared to be playing basketball like any other player, with deft dribbles and precise motions. When the robot took a free shot in front of 8,400 yelling spectators, the ball left its hands in a perfect arc and fell over the net.

One Maker Turned Cheap Radio Boards into a Private Mesh Network That Crosses Oceans

By

Private Mesh Network World
Data Slayer wondered if it was possible to send messages across large distances without relying on those giant telecoms providers, and for him, the answer was definitely yes. He accomplished the feat of bridging the almost 2,500-mile gap between Florida and Venezuela to demonstrate his idea. Even more impressive, though, is that he accomplished this using just about 20 radio boards (which cost between $20 and $30 apiece), a few small computers, and some open-source networking magic known as Reticulum.

DIY Custom-Built Steam Machine
Zac Builds was fed up with waiting for Valve to finally release their Steam Machine. So, he decided to do things the hard way and build his own version from the ground up, resulting in something that actually exceeded Valve’s official product in terms of speed and price. What started as a fun little competition to see who could be the first to market has grown into a full-featured gaming machine that anyone with basic tools can construct at home.

3D Printing Pushed This Massive RC Submarine to the Edge of Disaster

By

3D-Printed Submarine ProjectAir
James from ProjectAir set out to build the world’s largest remote-controlled submarine. His finished machine was an impressive 2.7 meters (8.9 feet) long and made extensive use of 3D printing, with the body, fins, propeller, and structural pieces all created using it. You don’t have to be an expert in underwater boat construction to understand how much is at stake: one failure and that pricey toy is resting at the bottom of a lake, with no easy means to retrieve it. James was well aware of the risk, so he began with a much smaller prototype to test every single mechanism before going on to the final product.

Rivian R1T Corvette Z06 Drag Racing
Carwow’s Mat Watson crossed the Atlantic to organize this unusual showdown on a California ranch. Two vehicles lined up for a day of flat-out racing, with little in common other than a price tag of roughly $120,000. On one side, there’s the Corvette Z06 designed for cornering, while on the other is Rivian’s full-size electric truck, which has four motors and enough power to move a home. Despite the comparable price tag, their approach to speed could not have been more different.
