This Jam Handy Chevrolet video from 1937 – uploaded to YouTube by USAutoIndustry – has received a lot of attention over the years, in part because it does such an excellent job of explaining the inner workings of a differential, going through each and every step from the problem (how to get two linked wheels to turn at different speeds around a corner) to the end result. Jump to the two-minute mark if you want to skip all the motorcycle cop theatrics and get right to the tech.

Guns, gun, guns Svetlana67 | Dreamstime.com3Dlt, a 3-D printer template marketplace, has launched a firearm-safety design challenge. When it comes to guns, 3-D printing is usually seen as a harbinger of evil, not good. Last year, a plan to build open-source blueprints for a working 3-D printed firearm drew fierce criticism in a country plagued by shooting deaths. But at least one group is banking on 3-D printing being an answer to, rather than a source of, America’s gun-safety problems. Following Presid…

There was a lot of cool stuff on display at CES. In fact, there was a lot of stuff, period. Trying to find a single standout isn’t easy, especially when it is near-impossible to even see everything at the massive event. But there were a number of products and technologies that did get us excited.
Of course, the radio-controlled flying drone Parrot showed is pretty cool, as were balls that roll themselves around. But in the automotive realm, there was notable new technology and gadgets, even without a …

However, the iQ, like the Smart ForTwo and Chevrolet Spark, struggled to hit the magic 40-mpg mark — despite its size and weight. For 2013, Scion has a solution to appease consumers looking for a microcar with the frugality to match.
Enter the 2013 Scion iQ EV. Cosmetically, it’s indistinguishable from the gas-powered iQ, save for a cha…

We’ll warn you in advance: if you don’t already lust for the McLaren MP4-12C supercar, you will after this video. We’ve toured a lot of automobile plants, all over the world, yet we’ve never seen one that looks quite like McLaren’s Production Center, where each MP4-12C is hand-assembled by a team of skilled craftsmen.
Notice that we didn’t say, “and robots” in the last sentence, because McLaren still believes that a dedicated and motivated employee can perform higher quality work than …

I feel a little perverted driving into Carson City—but it’s not because I’m in Nevada, about to slink out to some brothel. No, I’m in a silent and snow-crusted part of western Sweden, a place where apparently you can mow down pedestrians and get away with it. (more..)
