- Trailer Tuesday: Apes, Warriors and Old Dudes - 2011-04-19 13:00:00-04
Here’s a look at some of the more interesting movie heading to theaters in the near future. Rise of the Planet of the Apes I really hope James Franco and killer effects from the WETA people can reinvigorate the Planet of the Apes franchise. The original is one of my favorite all-time Sci-Fi flicks, and Tim burton’s early 2000′s remake was less than stellar. This reboot/prequel may be the way to go. We’ll have to wait until August 5th to know for sure. Anonymous The Radiohead really add to this trailer for Anonymous, a movie about the history of William Shakespeare… or the man who really was William Shakespeare… or the group… or the woman… or the aliens.. or the Sandman. Stake Land This indie-horror flick is another in the long line of Vampire films that have been hitting theaters in the twilight of Twilight. From what I can tell it’s a serious Zombiland, with vampires, not zombies. Warrior Joel Edgerton and Tom Hardy play two brothers fighting to win in the world of mixed martial arts. Action, drama, fighting. The best solution to our lack of The Fighter 2? How To Live Forever One old guy looks at how … Continue reading

When it comes to engineering the steam engine was the grand daddy of all motors and engines that we know of today. Robert Stirling however created a viable alternative to steam power, this fully operational model shows exactly how it works and there is $500 off too!

Two alcohol burners heat the chambers on the Stirling engine, causing the air inside to expand and contract and push the pistons toward the chambers. This movement displaces some of the warm air, forces the vertical pistons upward, and turns the flywheels. The Stirling engine’s flywheels are connected by a rubber band to four flywheels on the Ferris wheel, powering its rotation. Made in Germany, the kit’s parts are made from machine tooled solid brass, stainless steel, and aluminium components on a walnut stained wood base. Ferris wheel: 9″ H x 5″ W x 4″ D.
