You might think this is a joke, but it’s not its true, it’s now fully available to run your car completely on water. If you don’t believe it, look at the video below.
So in the future of aviation we will see changes, first we see changes in numbers of travelers then we will see a change in the fuel usage, and new ways of powering airplanes (with things as sustainable as humanly possible). The Boeing/NASA X-48b as seen on the big picture is one of those future features that are just radical and unbelievable to the eye. What do you think we need to do with the future aviation industry, stop flying or just start researching?!
Well this is not a super duper hot news story, but some part of it is, Honda has just put up and Youtube Channel. On that channel they have put up different videos from honda products, like Asimo, FCX Clarity, Honda Walking Assist Device and so on. Have a look at the video of the FCX clarity and ask your self why you still drive that gasoline consuming car… HONDAS YOUTUBE PAGE
This is a model of a futuristic humanoid robot that are supposed to rescue people in distress across the globe. This is pure gadget love and i can admit that I’m a softy when it comes to robots.
So i would say i wish this was real, and also if it was this is most certainly a project that i want to be on. The small (not that small) model is made out of astonishing 600 + pieces and the whole concept took over 6 months to complete.
I sure as hell loved Iron Man, and i think that we will see in a time span of 20 - 30 years robots like this developed and being shipped. So i’ll try to hang in there as long as i can. - Linus
So a couple of days ago i posted a video with the flying suite and i sure did mention the the flying wing. I think Gizmodo wrote something like, we are not going see this in a year or two, like 1 week ago, but however yesterday in switzerland, Yves Rossy made the first flight with a wing power by 4 jet engines with a 50 pound thrust each, pushing him up to speeds like 186 Mph, there is nothing to control the wing except the throttle, so he steers completely by shifting his body weight. And he flew for a good old 6 minutes (horizontally) and even had the climbing possibilities of a 1000 feet per minute, Redicilous!
Hondas humanoid Asimo is conducting The Detroit Symphony Orchestra. This little robot is just amazing, he walks, talks, conduct, delivers… Honda the power of dreams.
This super bad ass Yamaha FX Cruiser SHO jet-ski is the latest in the industry. The deck and hull is manufactured by using nanotechnology, reducing the weight by 25%. This high end super charged mean machine get it’s power from a new 1.8 liter super charged engine. It also comes with a remote control and a radio controlled security system and also first of a kind, a cruise control system. [12.800$ buy here]
I have no idea if i posted anything like this here before but however i have seen a video with a crazy dude like this from the swiss alps, but this is something really unbelievable. He swarms down 15 feet above the snow down a fringing mountain. He is now official superfamous! [Wingsuite]
Kevin Fitzsimons has an awesome project that he has been working on for a long time. The MObi streamliner is absolutely a super duper mega project that if i could i would really get this trailer.
But just lay your eyes on this beauty and fly away in your daydreaming. mobitat.net fitzsimonsdb.com

Designer Ben Wilson has produced a monowheel - a cycle where the rider sits inside a large, spokeless wheel. This is a ride of the future, imagine this thing with a plasma engine, some nice computer based balance software (kinda like the Segway). The bike was created for the XX1st Century Man Exhibition at the 21-21 Design Sight. Ben say’s “We don’’t suggest for one moment that a functioning human powered monowheel could ever provide an improvement on the modern bicycle. Instead its value comes from the discourse and ideas generated as a result of this research.â€
We all know about Cyberdyne from terminator, as the evil company that builds the first robot and develops AI. However the leading company in the world in Cybernics is just Cyberdyne. The japanese company have given us HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb), which is an exo robotic skeleton that via bio heathed signals from your skin can sense in what way you are moving and doing and strengthening it by x10 times!! Witch means if you usually lift 100 kilos from the ground, and you put the suite on 90% you can lift 1 ton! imagine what this can do for people in wheelchairs and other handicaps.
"This weeks Swedish" Is where we will try to highlight something or someone from Sweden. First up is busty blonde uber babe Victoria Silvstedt.
Since there is so much talk about Sweden and whether polar bears really walk the streets and if there is blonde beauty's everywhere I can tell you this much. One of these things are true, and it's not the the bears.
I know I could do this the easy way and just post a bunch of pictures and I bet most of you would be pleased. But since we here over at superfamous are a bit more "cultured" here is the 3 minute biography of swedish sweetheart Victoria.
Victoria grew up in a family of five in a small village in northern sweden. She became a world class member of the Swedish National Ski Team at an early age, unfortunately a shoulder injury at the age of 16 put an stop for Victoria's Ski career
Instead she entered the 1993 Miss Sweden Beauty Pageant. She was declared the winner and it was off to the 1993 Miss World Pageant. Here Victoria became a finalist and was discovered by a Parisian modeling agent and began a career in high fashion. Working for companies such as Chanel, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Valentino and Giorgio Aramani.
In 1996 she was offered an opportunity to do a "quick photo shoot" for Playboy.
Which turned into December 1996 Playmate of the month and later 1997 Playmate of the year.
Victoria has since then worked with brands such as Nike, Renault, Coors, Radisson and many more.
She has also done a few movies. Amongst them one of my all time favorite
comedies Baseketball where Victoria does an outstanding performance.

To start off this new release with a new site we also start off by giving you a review on the latest album from Moby - Last Night. And to start with i need to amplify that Im really not a super duper fan of all Moby's musical work, but i do like him very much.
This album, Last Night got out 5 days ago on april 1st, but I've had the pleasant pleasure to been able to listen to it for almost 2 weeks now, and i have to tell you that the first time you listen to the album you kinda just go with the flow, and the typical Moby sound is there somewhere lurking in the darkness of the disco electro pop tunes. Over all a nice music experience, but as most of you know to really get to now an album you need to listen to it at least 3 times to be able to have something to say about each track or the whole album itself.
So i had lots of time to do just that and boy can i tell you that i really, i mean really from the bottom of my swedish music hearth like this album. The typical Moby sound that i was looking for in the beginning just disappeared, and now i can truly say that the "ooohh yeah..." with a flangered voice do turns me on. As one of Moby's poster says, "Disco Lies" and also the name on one of the tracks... It truly does, disco must be the music genre that lies the most.
To just quick hit the disco subject, i just hate those competitions in Disco dancing, where the competitors wave their hands and arms in big circles and for some reason try to fly! All this to some euro disco pumed-up song that really sucks. Thats a good comparing to what "Disco Lies" stands for, a lying disco dancer form eastern Europe high on street drugs.
Everyday it's 1989, well if you want the song with the most Moby feeling to it, thats the one. This retro, 80's / 90's return is something that i LOVE, yes call me a toy boy, or future hater, or just call me whatever you want, but know one thing, Moby is the architecture of sound, he lives in his one man studio on manhattan, eco lover, just want to party and live life. But even though he is a "Geek" he is truly an architecture of sound, he makes tunes that make your entire body wanna jump up and down endlessly until your brain almost but you in a coma. The sweetness and clearness in Mobys sound is something that makes him stand out in a crowd, also the fact that he is one of our times masterminds when it comes to sample and creating beats.
So to wrap this small review up, get the album, if you don't like Moby, you will after you listen to it. And if you like Moby this is a must have in your digital or analog collection. Super hyped steroid disco dancers in a underground music club, jumping screaming for more sampling by Moby, thats what this Album is all about.

Incredible, this must be the one of this years sweetest movies, along with Iron Man.
Did not find any good Flash embed to show here and frankly i don't have anything special to write about it either, i just want you to watch it!
Q:How come you got involved with design and art?
A: I've been drawing since I was little and I've always read a lot of comic books so probably that lead to illustration; movies and music where the ones that got me interested on design. My first job on the field was at the motion based studio Punga, working with them really pushed my interests to the next level.
Q:Does it run in the family? (The interest for design and art /fashion)
A: Not really, my father was an engineer all his life and my mother is a journalist, but maybe my brother is the closest one from what I am doing, he is studying to become an architect.
Q: How old are you? And do you think ages has anything to do with your sense for art and style?
A: I'm 23 and I think that the sense for art and style depends more on your personal interests than what age you have. Maybe some recent design graduates have similar style 'cause of their education structure; but it all depends on how much you love what you do, either you stay in a kitty sand box all your life or you become a great artist.
Q: You have done some amazing art that is influenced by Daft Punk, do you like Daft Punk? and if you do what's your favorite song?
A: Daft Punk is amazing, I went to one of their shows and I got blown away by it. My favorite song is Humans after All, it really gets me going. It will sound weird but I don't feel so inspired by it, love all the looks but what really blows my mind is At the Drive In, Mars Volta, Battles and bands like that.
Q:What is your favorite treat? ( like candy or other sweetness )
A: If you open my fridge you will only find candy and vodka, not food. So that's probably my favorite "treat".
Q: Give us a top ten on what's most played on your ipod!!
A: At the Drive In, Mars Volta, Battles, The Blood Brothers, Finch, Elliott Smith, Explosions In The Sky, Daft Punk, Ratatat and Radiohead, in no particular order!
Q: How fast do you run 1 mile?
A: HAHA that's weird. I used to run 14 miles in 50 minutes, so I think about 4 minutes the mile.
Q:Is there an artist you like or respect in particular? Some one who inspires you?
A: There are many artists that I met and really respect and admire, but there are 2 particular that I had the pleasure to work with. Tomy Di, the director of Punga (www.punga.tv), I learned a lot from him and apart from his great talent, he's a great person and friend. The past months I've been working with Roy Garcia at Rock Instrument Bureau (www.rockinstrumentsite.com.ar) , and like Tomy, he's a guy that really respect and admire, really inspiring person to work with. There is another designer that I would love to meet, his name is Alex Trochut (www.alextrochut.com), I think he is one of the greatest new wave designers in the world.
Q:Now to conclusion, tell the readers on wearesuperfamous some good chosen words and a thank you for giving me radical respect "speech"!!
A: There isn't much to say about it, I really love what I do and I hope some day I will get my name up, I never gave a reason for my father to feel proud of me, I hope some day I will even If he is not here anymore. No matter what happens, no matter how difficult it gets; if you love what you do, just keep going.
