We’ve had great fun with the weaker red lasers when people did not know much about them at the time. They were abandoned very quickly because everybody became informed of what they were as soon as they became widely available in every electronics shop around for very little money.

These lasers from WickedLasers of China are different. They’re fiercer, they have extremely long range of up to 120 miles! And they can actually hurt!

Red, Blue and green lasers available. Blue lasers seem to be the strongest but much more costly.

They’re capable of lighting matches and popping balloons and burn other flammable materials. The darker the color of material, the easier it is to burn.

Prices start at $99 and goes up to $3500 for more powerful lasers.

Be forewarned! These are definitely not toys! You have to be seriously very cautious and never aim to anyone, including animals. Especially never-ever point these lasers to eyes! If you harm someone, these can certainly be acknowledged as a weapon by your government.

TeslaMotors Electric Roadster can go from zero to 60 mph in about 4 seconds with a top speed of over 130 mph. It has no clutch and a very wide, flat torque curve.

Range depends on driving style and conditions of course but on the EPA highway driving cycle, TeslaMotors expect 250 miles on a charge.

The Tesla Roadster has a two-speed transmission to maximize acceleration, while also allowing a reasonably high top speed. First gear gets you from zero to sixty in about 4 seconds, while second gear takes you to above 130 mph.

The gearing of the Tesla Roadster works together with the shifter and the Power Electronics Module to provide familiar driving behavior. First gear has strong “regenerative braking” that recharges the battery during deceleration and feels like engine braking in low gear on other sports cars. Second gear has less regenerative braking, and feels like third or fourth gear on other sports cars. The Tesla Roadster needs only two gears because the motor delivers high torque over a much wider range of rpm’s than any gasoline engine. No reverse gear is needed; the motor runs backwards for reversing.

If you do not feel like shifting, you can drive entirely in second gear. Acceleration even in second gear is remarkably fast.

The trunk has been designed to accommodate a carry-on wheeled bag or a bag of golf clubs.

Cars will be available for purchase in early 2007 with an anticipated delivery date of fall 2007 and an expected price of about 100.000 bucks. Yes, $100k to save on gas.
