Largest Tree House
In 2005, the world’s largest all-wood treehouse was built amongst the lime trees of the Alnwick
Garden in Northumberland County, UK. Alnwick Gardens can be reached from the A1 approximately
50 miles north of Newcastle. This 6,000 square foot treehouse is comprised of walkways, cottages,
shops, a restaurant, and play areas. There is an expansive deck area and rope bridge loop behind
the house, all of which can be accessed by wheelchair.

Luxbuss
Why alternative housing? To save money, to travel, to live creatively – there are many reasons
why people choose to live in tents, RVs, cabins, underground homes, rental rooms and buses…
Anything else that’s less common than the houses, condos and apartments thatmost people
call home.

Dolphin Submarine
Originally conceived in 1978 by Thomas Rowe the Bionic Dolphin has been in the making for
many years now. Development of the prototype didn’t even begin until 1988 but eventually in
September of 1992 the Dolphin made its first historic underwater ‘flight’.
Powered by a 400 horsepower small-block V8 (the same standard engine that powered the
2005 Corvette) the Bionic Dolphin can travel either on the surface of the water like a boat or
completely submerged like a submarine. While the current models are only single-seaters
Rowe has also designed a two-seat prototype that will serve as the production model.
The Bionic Dolphin was scheduled to go on sale in early 2006 with a price tag of around
$50,000 but looking at the website they still seem to be involved in the very important safety
-testing stages.

the battery.
A battery is hidden inside a wooden bar.
A sim-card comes in the smaller bar.
And antenna is also… wooden.
And the author believes that sooner or later gadget
manufacturers wood turn to wood too.
