Cole Blaq built his name and lit it on fire! Without using light sources inside the sculpture, Cole used a gradient of bricks from the white core to the red rims and an overhead lamp to cast the glow. The effect amazingly realistic!

Young Ruslan Moukanov, from Kazakhstan, fell in love with the luxurious Rolls Royce Phantom ever since he saw some pictures of it a few years ago, while sitting in the local library. Tormented by the desire to own a Phantom, Ruslan realized he couldn’t just buy a 500,000 euro car, so he found a way around that.
Using his master-tuner skills, the young Kazakh managed to transform his old Mercedes into a shiny Rolls Royce Phantom. He built the car-kit himself and managed to get his hands on the needed parts. If you don’t count the time and effort involved, this Rolls Royce Phantom cost just 3,000 euros to make. And it looks amazing!

Make the entire world your disco. I bet that’s what French artist
Michel de Broin thought to himself when he decided to create the world’s largest disco-ball. It might sound like a crazy idea, but Michael de Broin actually did it. Using a 7.5 meter disco-ball, featuring 1,000 mirror pieces, the artist managed to light up Paris on a winter night.
He did so by hanging the giant disco-ball 50 meters up, using a giant crane, and projecting light onto it., The ball was hung up in the Jardin de Luxumburg and the light effects that covered Paris were more than worth the effort of bulding the whole installation. Plus now Michel de Broin could enter the record books for the World’s Largest Disco-Ball.

Chinese designer
Daizi Zheng has created a mobile phone that uses sweet drinks like Coca Cola instead of lithium batteries. Zheng has been working on this revolutionary device for Finnish cellphone giant Nokia, and claims he has come up with a way of using sugar-based drinks to power mobiles. Any sweet drink, even sugar-sweetened water would be enough to keep the phone running much longer than lithium batteries.
The bio-battery invented by Daizi Zheng generates electricity from carbohydrates, using special enzymes as catalysts. In the process, the device generates oxygen and water. The designer claims his sugar-based bio-battery lasts up to four times longer than a fully charged lithium battery and is much easier to recharge: just pour some more sweet fuel.
Lithium batteries are very expensive and harmful for the environment, so if Zheng’s Coke-powered cellphone turns out to be real, it would be a significant breakthrough.
