Blender With Built-In Tachometer: How Fast Does It Blend?

matt buchanan — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 17:20:25 EST

We present the latest evolution in "Will It Blend?" technology: A 900-watt, 20,000-RPM blender with a built-in tachometer. Although I've been quite happy with my run-of-the-mill Cuisinart, I have slight gadget lust for the brushed steel-y, $134 L'Equip RPM blender and a pulsing desire to see how many RPMs it takes to liquefy my new GH controller. It's 2008's version of "How Many Licks?" [Tabletools.com via BBG]

Hossfly V8 Barstools, Drinking and Driving Required

The Hossly V8 barstools would drive MADD mad...literally. Because while seated upon a standard barstool, drinkers can harness the power of engines normally reserved for trucks and heavy luxury cars. Apparently the contraptions make an obnoxious amount of noise, which should be an effective ear shield for our own drunken idiocy...but there's only one way to find out. We just wish this clip from SEMA caught these bad boys during higher speed ~~impact~~ testing. Hit the jump for a shiny bonus pic.

Suzuki Biplane Pities Harley-Davidson

The Tokyo Auto Show is bringing us some wicked concepts, including this Suzuki Biplane motorcycle. Inspired by the classic biplane first introduced by the Wright Brothers, we're a bit confused exactly where the twin stacked wings fit within this redesign, but who knows, maybe Suzuki has made motorcycles fly. Not to mention, there's about a 50/50 chance that you could instantly turn into a super hero when sitting on this bike...which counts for something.
