Recently Daihatsu has launched a new version of its Mira kei car called e:S with new or revised technologies, where Daihatsu aim to improve fuel efficiency. Daihatsu says that it has overhauled all existing aspects of the engine, the transmission, and the body structure, to make the most of energy efficiency and as a result, says that the Mira e:S is almost 40 percent more fuel efficient that current mini cars with engine displacements of up to 660 cc [0.6-liter].
The Mira e:S is powered by a three-cylinder 650cc gasoline engine that produces an output of 52PS (51HP) at 6,800rpm and 60Nm of peak torque at 5,200rpm. To bad, no more turbo engine like those L2/L5/L6/L9. According to the Japanese firm, the Mira e:S delivers a fuel economy of 30.0km/L (about 70.5mpg US) on Japan's JC08 Mode test cycle, and 32km/L (approximately 75.2mpg US) on Japan's 10-15 Mode test cycle.

How to Make a Chocolate Bubble Bath

post from How to of the Day on 20 September 2011 08:00:00 PM. © How to of the Day

Chocolate's not only for munching, drinking or hoarding. For the person who adores chocolate, chocolate's also great for a bath! Adding chocolate to the bath brings benefits through its scent (relaxing and enjoyable) and through its softening effects (cocoa butter). Apparently it's also an often used spa ingredient to rejuvenate skin cells and to moisturize the skin.[1]So, why not add a little chocolate to your next bath to give your skin a spa treat while releasing the aroma of chocolate and perhaps also your inner child... In this article, you have the chance to explore the delicious side of chocolate ? as a bubble bath!

Halloween in the Shop

post from Toolmonger on 20 September 2011 06:34:27 PM. © Toolmonger

This little spider may not look like it at first, but it was born of steel and fire. Reader James Brauer constructed this little crawler with a focus for detail and multiple materials. He lets us in on the process with a short note:

Hand forged spider legs with a flame worked glass eyeball. Handmade in my shop using an Arduino controlled digital kiln and propane forge I built myself.

It’s not just that the walking eye is cool to look at, but hand forged legs, flamed glass, and for all intents and purposes a computer-controlled kiln means that this project is over-the-top hand skills with the technical merit thrown in for extra hotness.

My contribution to Halloween normally ends with carving large, orange, bulbous objects with happy, sawtooth grins. In comparison, I’d say Mr. Brauer has me beat, hands down. This spider makes me want to strive for greatness this year, instead of the standard fare I always generate.
