Inflatable Minigun Cannon: Minimal Imagination Required

When you’re eight years old it doesn’t take much imagination for a cardboard tube on the end of your arm to become a missile launcher or a machine gun. But when you’re older, it takes a little more convincing. And that’s clearly what inspired this inflatable faux minigun. Besides giving live-action-roleplayers a decidedly unfair nine-barrel…

This Inflatable Boot Camp Would Make the Draft Obsolete

We’re not saying the U.S. needs to enter another war anytime soon, but should the nation’s armed forces find themselves in a situation where new recruits are few and far between, this inflatable boot camp obstacle course will easily bolster its numbers.

Watch This Snowboarder Survive an Avalanche By Floating On an Airbag

Meesh Hytner was doing typical pro-snowboarder things, participating in an informal backcountry competition in Colorado, when suddenly she found herself in a class-3 avalanche. Lucky for her, she was wearing an emergency airbag system, and lucky for you, there’s video. Meesh (I love that name) was wearing a Backcountry Access Float 30, and it very…

This Inflatable Robot Arm Would Destroy You in an Arm Wrestling Contest

You’d think that a robot arm made from air bags would sacrifice strength for being lightweight, but while Otherlabs’ prototype weighs in at just two pounds, it’s still strong enough to lift a human being. Instead of actuators, servos, pistons, or even a metal framework, the arm is composed of a series of fabric pockets…

This Tent Stands Up Without Poles

The worst part about camping, aside from the occasional bear maul? Having to deal with pain in the ass tent poles.
