Maruti Suzuki unveiled the Jimny 5-door at the Auto Expo this year. The bookings for this all-new SUV have already started and the SUV will be officially launched in the next couple of months. There are many examples of modified Suzuki Jimny 3-door SUVs from around the world and none of them are from India. This would soon change after Maruti launches the Jimny in India. We have seen several miniature models featured on our website before and here we have a Suzuki Jimny 5-door miniature that looks like a real car.…

James Cameron & Team Shooting Titanic On Miniature Boards Make Netizens Slam Today’s ‘Sh*tty CGI’ ( Photo Credit – Movie Still; Wikimedia ) Titanic by James Cameron is one film which will always hold a special place in the hearts of cinegoers. The film was released in 1997 and starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in the lead roles. It not only changed the career trajectory of both the actors but also made them an overnight sensation among fans across the globe. While the classic film remains very close to…

The introduction of Apple silicon arguably did more for the Mac mini lineup than any other corner of Apple’s computing range. Sure, the efficiency of Apple silicon not only improved performance in Apple’s MacBooks, but brought big gains to their battery life capabilities, too. But for Mac mini, it was a completely new lease of life — Apple’s diminutive desktop machine had been left out in the dark in the latter Intel era, missing key upgrade cycles, becoming underpowered and overpriced.But the M1 Mac mini reset the…

Miniature working models of cars and bikes have been featured on our website in the past. There are several workshops and garages that exclusively work on such projects. Rakesh Babu is one such popular miniature car builder from  Kerala. He has been making miniature cars for clients for the last couple of years. His first project was a miniature Volkswagen Beetle car that he built from scratch. After that, he has built many more cars and bikes in his garage from scratch. One of the recent project that Rakesh finished…

In a move that could see a new generation of deep-space CubeSats, NASA has greenlighted a project by the Rochester Institute of Technology to develop a nuclear power source that is a tenth the size of those in current use for planetary missions.Most satellites in service today are powered by solar panels that turn sunlight into electricity by absorbing photons to create a potential imbalance in the panel cells' materials to generate an electrical current. These panels do their job very well, but in deep space beyond the…

Robotic water pipes from ICAIR could protect billions of liters from leaking The University of Sheffield’s Integrated Civil and Infrastructure Research Centre (ICAIR) is testing a new generation of subterranean robotic pipe patrollers. Pipebots are tiny, mobile robots with all-terrain legs and cameras for eyes. They are being created in coordination with the water sector to inspect pipes and detect flaws and cracks before they become leaks. According to Ofwat, the economic regulator for the water industry, about…

A European Vega rocket lifted off Monday night from French Guiana carrying an Earth observation satellite and four miniature "cubesats".It was the second launch this year of the Vega, a crucial component of European ambitions to compete with rivals such as Elon Musk's SpaceX in the booming commercial aerospace market.The rocket blasted off from the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou at 10:47pm (7:17am IST), successfully delivering the satellites in just under two hours.After years in development and testing, the LEDSAT CubeSat…

China has developed a prototype miniature helicopter for surveillance work on future Mars missions, according to its space science agency, following the historic landing of a robotic rover on the Red Planet a few months ago.The prototype is similar in appearance to the robotic helicopter Ingenuity, developed by NASA for its Perseverance mission this year, according to a photograph posted on the website of China's National Space Science Center on Wednesday.The agency said the helicopter could be a tool for China's…
