Summer! <\/p>\n

The 20-year-old Cleaning Up the Oceans<\/a><\/strong>
\nThat\u2019s not hyperbole, either. Boyan Slat has two major projects underway right now to do just that. The first one starting in August will collect more data in three weeks on the plastic floating in our oceans \u201cthan anyone has in 40 years\u201d. In 2016, he\u2019s deploying a device to collect plastic out of the ocean which will be the longest floating structure around (2,000 meters). I think he\u2019s giving Elon Musk a run for his money. The guy\u2019s only 20! <\/p>\n

Flying Tricycle in Prototype<\/a><\/strong>
\nTechnically, it\u2019s a \u201ccoaxial, Y6-layout tricopter\u201d, but if that confounds you \u2014 no worries. If you\u2019ve seen Return of the Jedi, you\u2019ve seen a flying motorcycle much like this. Yes, there\u2019s video. <\/p>\n

James Bond Cars Through the Years<\/a><\/strong>
\nCool website that shows all the James Bond cars. Nice effects and cool art. Plus hot cars. <\/p>\n

Magic, Light, and Quadracopters<\/strong>
\nArt and science meet, produce a wonderful dance. Done only with lights, lampshades, and some well-programmed quadracopters. <\/p>\n
