New Bike Transmission Design
Bike designers resurrect a 500-year-old idea to change the way people pedal
n the late 1990s, Donald Miller was creating “unsafe and impractical” low-profile lie-atop prototype bicycles in his machine shop (that is, his garage). “I just wanted to build a more efficient bike,” says the San Diego cyclist and former realtor turned inventor. Eventually, Miller instead shifted his focus to the drive train, convinced that the traditional chain-and-gear system was the primary factor holding back the evolution of the two-wheeler.

Transology - Cars of the future
Skateboard Car of the future
Discovery channel has been running a four part series called FutureCar for the past few weeks and one of the segments focused on the GM Skateboard chassis that was first shown a few years back, featuring fuel cell power and complete by-wire controls. A variation of the Skateboard is used on the Sequel concept.
Transology - Cars of the futue The people at MIT have done it again in terms of cool-ness... in their concept cars described in this report - Transology: Reinventing The Wheel (PDF) - they examine urban motorisation that adapts to the body of the driver/user like transparent skin with integrated displays and Building a car around the movement of the drivers...
