World’s First Bike Escalator

As you all know very well, that bicycling is an inexpensive and healthy way to get around, but a steep hill can become a casual cyclist’s Achilles’ heel. Fortunately, the Norwegian city of Trondheim has a solution to this problem a “bike escalator”.

This is well invented in the 1990’s by a commuter who grew tired of showing up to work sweaty and tired, the Trampe lift, freshly upgraded and reinvented as the “CycloCable”, has already carried over 200,000 bicyclists up this 150m-long cyclist deterrent. The inquisitive escalator has become a sightseer electromagnet as well.

The Cyclists who place one foot on the escalator’s angled platform will be pushed uphill at a speed of five mph. Up to five people can use it at the same time and it is not limited to bicycles, as it can carry basically any trivial wheeled transport with its owner, be it a kid with scooter or a mother with a baby stroller.

Installing this invention is obviously a great way to boost cycling in hilly cities, but they’ll have to be quite busy one meter of this elevator costs around USD 2,000 to 3,000. Fantastic! What an improvement for cyclists. Just love the kid with his scooter and woman with the pram Ingenious.

How to Make Glow-in-the-Dark Table with Photo luminescent Resin?

As high-tech and alien as this glow-in-the-dark table might seem, it can really be made right at home! Therefore all you need is some planks of Pecky cypress wood, photo luminescent powder, resin, some tools, and a slight elbow grease.

Mike Warren an Instructables enthusiast and the blogger behind the Man Crafts column at dollarstorecrafts.com, came up with a set of instructions for creating this table. By mixing the photo luminescent powder with the resin and using it to fill the holes that form naturally in Pecky cypress wood, you can make striking and naturally-shaped areas that’ll glow in the dark after charging up on sunlight.

If you have got the tools and the know-how, then check out Warren’s Instructable for instructions. His table and how it looks can be found below. TechnoGlow pigments are considered a harmless substance under OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200 and have been tested to meet and exceed compliance with ASTM F963-03 on Toy Safety. Indeed this is very useful and maybe also slightly radioactive, perfect as kid’s playground.

Megayacht That Looks Like the Batmobile

This is truly incredible Megayacht which can be used as a glamorous party venue, floating showroom or private vessel, the Xhibitionist is definitely a boat designed to turn heads. The amazing 75 metres long vessel is an extravagant, versatile yacht which even comes with its own supercar. Keeping the unique automotive theme, the Xhibitionist has an ample space for a car showroom and “engine room”, complete with exposed engines displayed behind glass walls. This is beautifully designed by Swedish-based car designer Eduard Gray, the slick ship's interior is decked out in Art Nouveau decor, with classic touches alike a Steinway piano, a dual staircase, and fine crystal Baccarat lighting. If you want to purchase it, then you need heavy bank account of 2 million euros (£16million) for a “basic” model.

Moreover; solar panels fold out from under a sleek car-hood-like deck to power the ship, and the panels double up as a concert space or helipad with space for three helicopters. The fly deck even features a Jacuzzi, and by night, the  superyacht glows in the dark thanks to ocean LED lighting. Well as for the Xhibitionist's price? 'As far as investments go, the 75 m luxury yacht Xhibitionist idea looks like more of a real estate and marketing venture than a yacht.

A Splendid Sculpture Made Of Living Breathing Trees

Well a building doesn’t have to be a too dry and dead thing. The Italian artist “Giuliano Mauri’s” epic Cattedrale Vegetale (or Tree Cathedral) is the textbook example of architecture that, in its place of competing with or complementing nature, is fairly literally a part of it. The late artist’s two groves of trees are destined to grow into a pair of superb basilicas.

The framework columns perceived in these photographs will ultimately rot away and decay, to be replaced by the hornbeam trees planted in the center of each frame. As these grow, their canopies will mesh together to form the vaulted ceiling of a Gothic cathedral.

Mauri, who was passed away in 2009, actually laid the groundwork for his first visionary cathedral in Valsugana, Italy in 2002. The framework of the cathedral at the foot of Mount Arera in the northern Italian region of Lombardy was well completed in 2010.  Source: Charismatic Planet

The Stray Cat Accidentally Turned Itself Green

This is not a Photoshop that’s a real-life green cat that has been stalking the streets of Varna, Bulgaria. The residents stumped by its unusual color were led on a hunt to find out the secret of its unnatural coloration. At first, concerned people thought the stray had been the target of a mischievous prank.

But the truth turned out to be a bit less sinister, however the cat had been sleeping on a bag of powdered green paint at a local garage, and the cat seems not to mind the color, and neither does her friend. The first feeling was that someone had played a cruel joke on the cat by painting it green. Even residents had even created a Facebook group to coordinate their search for the culprits.

The truth, however, was somewhat less reprehensible it was discovered that the cat had taken a liking to sleeping in a pile of powdered green paint at a local garage. Thus far, efforts to capture the cat and clean it or review it for health issues have been ineffective. Though, neither the cat nor its friends seem very bothered by its strange coat!

Flowers Turns Beautifully into “Skeleton Flowers” in Rain

The Diphylleia grayi is an astonishing flower with white petals that turn gorgeously transparent upon contact with water. During light rain showers, the elusive blooms transform into blossoms as clear as glass, fitting its common moniker "skeleton flower." However the plant can be found growing on moist, wooded mountainsides in the colder regions of Japan and China come late spring. The stunning Diphylleia grayi is known by its large, specifically umbrella-like leaves topped with small clusters of pearly white blossoms that undergo an enchanted transformation in the rain.
