Rock Climber Scales Tall Building Using Vacuum Cleaners: Vacuu-Girl or Spider-Woman?
LG Korea wanted to prove how hard its Zero Code vacuums suck, so it hired rock climber Sierra Blair-Coyle to strap a pair of its cordless K94SGN vacuum cleaners on her back and scale the 140m tall (~459 ft.) glassy façade of a building in Korea. The climber wore two of the vacuums with the hoses routed to a large suction cup on each hand.
There were straps connected from her feet to the suction pads so she had a foothold on the sheer surface. LG says that between the climber and the gear, the vacuums had to support 70kg (~154 lb). The vacuums are cordless and powered by lithium-ion batteries.
She didn’t scale the building trusting her life to vacuums alone, she did have safety lines as well. Those lines were to prevent her from splatting on the concrete below where more than a vacuum would be needed to pick her up if the suction failed.

For Dramatic Exits: Breakaway Sheet Glass
You’ve seen it done in movies and on television shows. Now you can do the same in your very own home.
We’re talking about jumping through a glass wall and emerging relatively unscathed, much to shock and awe of whoever is in the room when you decide to do your little stunt. The breakaway sheet glass looks and breaks just like real glass. It’s not exactly cheap, so you might want to save breaking it for a truly special occasion.
It’s available from Thomax Fx for $53.

Two Guys Living in a Giant Hamster Wheel
Two men are spending some quality time living in a rather unique home – this 25-foot wooden wheel. Ward Shelley and Alex Schweder are living in this wheel as part of the In Orbit art project at The Boiler gallery in Manhattan.
All of the furniture and accommodations are fixed along its circumference. The guys need to walk in tandem to rotate the giant wheel and get to the things they need to get through the day. The pair are living in the structure right now, 24/7. Their project started on February 28 and ends on March 9, 2014. The structure will remain until April 5, 2014.
It is an interesting idea, but if you live in a house like this, you better get along with your partner. Chances are these guys are going to hate each other by the end of it. Also, I don’t want to know how they go to the bathroom.

R/C Helicopters Lift a Woman off the Ground
Want to pick up your date? Forget your car. Don’t send a taxi. Send two R/C helicopters to pick her up and really impress her.
HeliGraphix is a club of radio controlled helicopter hobbyists that perform crazy stunts and puts the videos online. Seen here, their latest project is HULC, which stands for Heavy Ultra Lifter Crane.
This is a demo to show just how powerful two heavy duty helicopters can be when working in tandem. The team says that it has completed the first successful human flight by R/C aircraft. The proof is right here. They did several flights, some of them lasted over 40 seconds.
It is pretty impressive to watch. Sorry guys, this technique won’t help you kidnap a girl. She has to grab on willingly.
