Wooden Electromechanical Elephant

Have you ever seen an artificial animal moving over the road...... If not see this interesting subject


This gigantic animal, 12-metre high by 8-metre wide, lives in the largest warehouse.
When the majestic animal goes out for its walk, it is like architecture in motion departing a steel cathedral. The 49 passengers on board embark on an amazing journey on the Ile de Nantes. Each time the pachyderm goes out, it is a unique spectacle for everyone to enjoy.
From the inside, the passengers will be able to see the moving gears that power the legs. They can make the elephant trumpet and control some its movements, thus becoming truly a part of the Machine. On the back of the Elephant, it's like being on the 4th floor of a moving house, with a breathtaking view of the banks of the Loire River. In this time-travelling carriage, the passengers can voyage to the imaginary world of Jules Verne in the city where he was born.

Real Superpower Man who eats everything



Michel Lotito has a stomach lining which is twice as thick as normal, and it is a rare condition that most doctors are not sure how it occurs. This man can eat metal, glass, as well as toxic and poisonous material. He also consumes mineral oil and drinks tons of water. His gastric juices, or digestive acids, are unusually powerful, which is the only explanation on how he can digest metallic feasts. He entered the Guinness book of records after eating an airplane. It took him TWO YEARS to finish it (from 1978 to 1980).
Here is the list of items consumed by Michel Lotito
Bicycle - 18
Shopping cart - 15
Television - 7
Chandelier - 6
Bed - 2
Skis - 1
Cessna aircraft - 1
Coffin - 1
A steel chain - 400m
Michel Lotito died of natural causes on June 25, 2007, ten days after his 57th birthday.

Amazing inverted tower


Have you seen any tower which is in inverted condition !!!!!!.
It is not due to any disaster, but a wonderful architecture of our ancients. This wonder is situated in Sintra, Portugal.An underground tunnel with a spiral staircase, supported by carved columns, down to the bottom of the well through nine landings. The nine hole round landings, separated by fifteen steps.

The land that is now Quinta da Regaleira had many owners through time. But in 1892 it belonged to the Barons of Regaleira, a family of rich merchants from Porto, when it was purchased that year by Carvalho Monteiro for 25,000 réis. Monteiro wished to build a bewildering place where he could gather symbols that would reflect his interests and ideologies. With the assistance of the Italian architect Luigi Manini, he designed the 4-hectare estate with its enigmatic buildings, believed to hide symbols related to alchemy, Masonry, the Knights Templar, and the Rosicrucians. The architecture of the estate evokes Roman, Gothic, Renaissance and Manueline architectural styles. The construction of the current estate commenced in 1904 and most of it was concluded by 1910.

You can have look at some awesome pictures!!!!!!

Motorhome


Volkner Mobil Ultra Luxury Motorhome



December 4, 2008 The concept of incorporating secondary last-few-miles transport in a motorhome starts with a fold-up bicycle, steps upwards through a motorcycle riding piggyback and we’ve occasionally seen a full blown car being towed behind the largest beasties.The Volkner Mobil Ultra Luxury Motorhome, comes complete with a fully-fledged kitchen, a high-end entertainment system, and even a secret storage space designed to tuck away a supercar! All of this luxury starts at a price tag of around £750,000 and rises to a fully-loaded £1.2million depending on the buyer’s own choice of fixtures and fittings. The 40ft long rolling home is something a touring rockstar would be proud of, and has certainly wowed the crowds at the Caravan Salon in Dusseldorf, Germany.

The hidden garage is nestled between the front and rear wheels of the vehicle, and is designed to accommodate a low riding sports car such as a Lamborghini or Ferrari. The access door to the cool compartment opens easily at the press of a button situated on a side panel that causes the hatch to open and the cargo floor to drop to ground level to allow the car to be loaded.
You can see some photographs of it !!!!!
