The "Asian Fashion Show" is mislabeled. It's the Chanel Spring 2008 show from Paris.

  • A flying barbeque, that's got to be my favorite. And the vehicles with the screws... personal space needed indeed.

  • The first picture is not a tube train, but a rotary dumper for a bulk cargo ship (coal, iron ore). Similar to a rotary railcar dumper used today .

  • thanks, the pic is removed, I'm gonna use that pic for future boats post.

  • The Flying Steam Liner is a picture from Michal Kwolek

  • Are you sure "The Glider" is an Ekranoplane? It looks more like a hydrofoil, as it doesn't appear to have any engines above the water and the legs are definitely going into the water.

  • (New) first pic is remarkably similar to modern "semi-submerged platform" ideas, though no current proposal I've heard of includes ice breaking.

    ...and apparently polar bears were in peril, even then...

  • Both the "largest helicopter" as well as the car credited to "Plan59" are actually by Radebaugh.

  • Something like Navi-Trucks was used by the US Army- the BARC-LARC 60. Essentially a self propelled 60 ton barge with wheels to drive on land-

  • Larger helicopters have been seriously proposed, though usually not as passenger transports. The Hiller Museum in San Carlos CA (south of SFO) has documents and a film from a (semi) serious proposal from Hiller to recover Saturn V booster stages in midair, using an enormous helicopter. I no longer recall the helicopter specs, but it was something like a 200 foot rotor turning at 10 RPM, with full-sized turbojet engines at the rotor tips.

  • Hi, The Bohn ship is very similar, probably a copy, from the Bel Geddes ocean liner project model (can be seen for exemple at http://davidszondy.com/future/Living/Bel%20Geddes%20Liner.jpg). Bel Geddes was among the first industrial designers, like Raymond Loewy, but mainly created dream products rather than actual products. But fantactic dream products !

  • is it just me, or is the sphere-wheeled motorcycle oddly reminiscent of batman's new motorcycle? without the glassed-in cab, of course.
    Read more

  • All this great concept art undoubtedly influenced movies and real architecture from 'Logan's Run' to the 'Batman' series and the Nationsbank tower in Atlanta. It makes one wonder how far off are our current conceptual projections of the future! Loads of fun!

  • The bullet video is actually incomplete. I've seen this one before, it is an anti-guns video, after the watermelon, a boy's head is shown, and some text comes into the screen where you would (not) expect the bullet.

  • This is a very liberal writer. Apparently it's ok for rioters to get out of control and vandalize and steal merchandise out of stores. These machines are not brought out for obvious reasons. They are not used on everyone. The majority of people have common sense and will leave when the crowd becomes out of hand. When you are ordered to disperse and do not disperse what do you think is going to happen.

  • That "Russian BRDM" is really czech one as pointed out in comments.

    And btw remember what happens during anti-globalization protests...we saw it in Prague as well...

  • The one above the text:

    "Some of the Slovakian models:"

    is a Dutch vehicle. It's a pretty old picture (judging by the old police logo on the side) and I'm pretty sure they do not use those any more/got new versions controlling the masses.

  • If the rioters use a "panzerfaust" or rocket bazooka, these trucks are done for... Serves them right, too.
    Read more

  • re. the two pictures right under the caption ' Riot Control Around the World:' the first one is odd the one in front is belgian (numberplate) whereas the one behind is Dutch. Anyone any idea where this took place. The second one may be Dutch as well, we used to call them Black Madonnas, before the student riots they were mainly used in new years eve riots
