And recycling efforts do need to improve as we in the U.S. recycle less than 22% of our garbage.

Luckily, Clarke the robot named after the sci-fi author Arthur C. Clark, and developed by AMP Robotics,  is on the job now to help us recycle the refuge from the 500 million tons of plastic produced...

Ex-Rocket Scientist Builds World’s Largest and Most Powerful Super Soaker

Let’s probably assume this is a mere formality as Rober already holds the record for World’s Largest Nerf Gun that he built last year. The impractically ginormous 7-foot-long water pistol, is powered by nitrogen gas tanks, enabling a force of up to 2,400 pounds per square inch. That is eight times the force of an average fire hose folks with PSI you find in power washers for roofs and driveways. With that kind of stream...
