The Expandable Mobile Mini House If the idea of spending days on the road in a tent or trailer doesn’t sound appealing, consider Stéphanie Bellanger‘s Mobile Mini House. The spacious yet compact concept home is inspired by John Lautner’s Chemosphere house and has an ingenious expanding floor plan that features a bathroom, living room, bedroom, kitchen, and office. Bellanger’s design also has ample storage space for clothing, books, and more. The Mobile Mini House’s walls and floors run on rails which allow them to easily fan out to a comfortable 252° radius. In case of rain, the home also features a sliding screen. + Stéphanie Bellanger Via My Modern Metropolis :.Schwartz/Silver Architects.: Eco-Dome: Moon Cocoon - Cal-Earth Building Designs The Eco-Dome is a small home design of approximately 400 square feet (40 sq. meters) interior space. It consists of a large central dome, surrounded by four smaller niches and a wind-scoop, in a clover leaf pattern. Learning and building an Eco-Dome is the next stage after building a small emergency shelter and provides hands-on learning experience in the essential aspects of Superadobe construction. It's small size of approximately 400 square feet (interior space), makes it a manageable structure for the first time owner builder. The finished "very small house" is self-contained and can become a small guest house, studio apartment, or be the first step in a clustered design for community use in an Eco-Village of vaults and domes. Built from local earth-filled Superadobe coils (earth stabilized with cement or lime).Tree free.Maximum use of space through alternative options. Note: The Eco-Dome plan is a part of the Cal-Earth educational and research program.

The World's Most Secret Garage Entrance Is Like A Tunnel To Tron *puts on investigator hat* Gentlemen, the game is afoot. We have a certain number of clues and we must review each one carefully. Our first clue is that this garage is somewhere in the United Kingdom, not a big clue but it does remove suspicion from the usual suspects, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Middle East, etc. Next, this has to be somewhere that's got quite a lot of space. It certainly wouldn't be in the middle of London as every square inch of space means money. The third clue is somewhat obvious, this gentleman has quite a lot of money. Fourth, look at the color of the walls and asphalt. dark and somber with no interior lighting, only the lights of the vehicles as they pass by act as a source to see their surroundings. A British millionaire, living in a dark and somber town with a secret underground tunnel modified to his/her exact specifications such that supercars may pass through unheeded of the traffic above? There's only one town in the world. Gotham, Nottinghamshire.

Neil M. Denari Architects Cryptography When I wrote my first book, Fermat’s Last Theorem, I made a passing reference to the mathematics of cryptography. Although I did not know it at the time, this was the start of a major interest in the history and science of codes and code breaking, which has resulted in a 400-page book on the subject, an adaptation of the book for teenagers, a 5-part TV series, numerous talks and lectures, the purchase of an Enigma cipher machine and the development of an interactive crypto CD-ROM. In the Crypto Corner, you will find details about my book on cryptography (The Code Book), information about my TV series based on the book (The Science of Secrecy) and you can explore the Black Chamber, which is an interactive encryption and codebreaking section. You will also find a section about the Cipher Challenge, there are some cryptograms (coded messages) for you to try and crack, a free downloadable CD-ROM version of The Code Book, and a quick Q&A based on the questions I am most often asked.

Facts About Hockey Pucks To succeed as a hockey player, you need to develop a specific set of skills and possess a broad range of physical abilities. You need speed, strength, endurance, elusiveness and, most of all, balance. The process of getting into hockey playing shape usually involves acquiring or reacquiring all these attributes prior to the beginning of the season. For best results, your workouts should begin at least two months before your team’s first practice, but if you don’t have that much time, any training and development will be beneficial heading into competitive or recreational play. Skating is the foundation of a hockey player’s game, and skating practice will be a major factor in helping you get into shape. Hockey requires you to have the ability to transfer power between your upper and lower body while maintaining balance and momentum. Diet is sometimes neglected as aspect of sports training, but it’s crucial for getting you into shape for hockey.
