I’m not going to be a hamster on a wheel anymore. I will be a corgi running on a carousel. This never-ending GIF wins my own personal internet forever.

While this R/C car technically doesn’t run solely on water, it’s still a pretty interesting scientific toy to have around. This new revision of the hydrogen-powered R/C car is more energy efficient and cheaper than the 2008 original.
Water is poured into the i-H2GO car’s refueling station, then it is electrolyzed. The process splits H2O into hydrogen and oxygen using the power of a solar panel. The hydrogen is then directed into the car, and the car basically runs off hydrogen by converting it into electricity. On cloudy days, you can use a USB cable to electrolyze the water.
The i-H2GO is controlled by an iOS app at the moment. An Android app is forthcoming.
You can get the whole setup for $180(USD) from Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies. It will ship on August 15.

People have been talking about running cars on water for years, but it’s a slow march from science fiction to reality. Even on a small scale, development is difficult. But the i-H2GO is the second revision of an all-water remote controlled car that seems to actually work.

James Bond has had some pretty amazing vehicles over the years. At least one cool ride per movie, if you ask me. If you are a fan of 007 and a fan of miniature vehicles, you are going to want this awesome set. This set of eight die-cast miniature vehicles from Corgi (not the dog) features a selection of 007′s most memorable vehicles.
You get the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger, the BMW Z3 from GoldenEye, the Aston Martin DBS from Casino Royale, the Little Nellie from You Only Live Twice, the Jaguar XKR from Die Another Day, the Lotus Esprit Underwater from The Spy Who Loved Me, the Rolls Royce III from Goldfinger, and even the Space Shuttle from Moonraker.
The complete set goes for $60(USD) from the MOMA store. It’s the perfect holiday gift for that James Bond fan on your list.
