Dual Tracked skateboard vehicle for the military

or the DTV Shredder is a modular dual purpose flat surface terrain dual function transport vehicle. This off road Lego-land like transporter runs up to 30 mph and can haul up to 1,200 lbs, is powered by a 200cc four-stroke engine and can tackle slopes up to 40 degrees.

This mini tank platform is customizable with on-board computer facilitated gyroscope, can either be driven solo or function as a remotely controlled device, and in this situation looks to be an invaluable resource for rapid response rescue/retrieval.



The video music track Deadmau5 feat. Rob Swire with  Ghosts 'n' Stuff, goes along way to help us understand and enjoy The DTV's purposes and performance.

Gyroscopically stabilized CD player in microgravity

Here we see NASA ISS Science Officer Don Pettit demonstrating gyroscopic spin stabilization with a CD player in microgravity on-board the International Space Station. Pettit floats several portable compact disc players in microgravity that are spinning and not spinning, and reveals something interesting.

This video was originally broadcast live from the International Space Station for the final episode of the Saturday Morning Science program in 2003.
