DIY Moped Runs on Air [Air Powered]
This Puch moped only has a range of about 7 miles and with a top speed of only 18 mph, it isn't going to break any land speed records, but there is definitely something special about it: it runs on air. Jim Stansfield, an aeronautics graduate outfitted his Puch with a pair of carbon-fiber air cylind
Broadcom Wi-Fi Chips to Have Skyhook Wi-Fi Positioning Built-In
