Bob Maddox is Still Pursuing His Pulsejet Dreams

By Paul Crowe

It's probably best to keep moving for a little help cooling those jets.

You have to give Bob Maddox a lot of credit, he's got a passion for pulsejets and while some people might learn all about them and be able to cite chapter and verse of their history, Bob is out in the shop welding and wrenching and making his own history. The first time we wrote about him was way back in May of 2008 when we noticed one of his early creations bolted to the side … [Read more...]

Goodyear Eagle 360 spherical tire concept

Remember the college project several years ago when the students were working on a motorcycle with ball wheels? It's hard to figure out how that could work, mounting a ball wheel or tire in a vehicle of any sort is the first problem, then driving it and steering it just adds to the fun, but Goodyear has been thinking along those same lines and they just introduced a concept … [Read more...]

Gordn Murray Design T.25

A couple years ago, Gordon Murray introduced his T25, a tiny little car that takes up no more space than a motorcycle sidecar rig, gets really high mileage and looks like fun. What I didn't notice when I wrote about it back then, perhaps it wasn't refined yet, was his iStream production process, a method of producing cars that deserves some attention. The iStream process … [Read more...]

Gasoline or Electric – Why Not Both?

Motus - small block fossil fueled V4

Start a conversation about electric motorcycles or cars and you get responses quickly falling into either of two camps: One group has no time for electric vehicles because they haven't made the leap to practicality, they have too little range and take far too long to recharge. While admitting they have some performance potential, the downside outweighs any upside. Check … [Read more...]
