The science of applause.

 It might not be about the quality of the performance as much as social factors.

Figure out how much an electric car costs.

http://energy.gov/articles/egallon-how-much-cheaper-it-drive-electricity

I've used a Honda Fit for a couple months and love it. Just not having to spend the time to put in gas is wonderful. Charging it at home (no special 220 line) works just fine.

The Fit can go approximately 80 miles on a charge, and that's plenty for going to Motorola, my house, and the rink. There are charging stations at Motorola too. 

The oddest thing is that I expected that my 20 year old son wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole, but he loves it, and I have to fight him for it. Reason: he doesn't have to use his money to buy gas. Even my wife likes to drive it.

Flying with Jetman

Swiss aviator and inventor Yves Rossy is the only the person in history to fly with a jet-propelled wing. He is a former military and commercial airline pilot who spent over 10 years developing and testing 15 prototypes prior to the most recent rigid carbon-fiber version with 4 jet turbines.

Jetman has made historic flights over the Swiss Alps, English Channel, and Grand Canyon with speeds up to 190 mph. Here's an amazing sight of him flying in formation with L-39 Albatross fighter jets of the Swiss aerobatic Breitling jet team:  Jetman Yves Rossy flies with the Breitling Jet Team over the Grand Canyon
