OBD II will allow you to get real time RPM data very easily. It's simply a matter of building the display and electronics to read the signal. I have a code reader that will display real time RPM, ignition advance, MAP, MAS, and O2 data, speed, coolant temperatures, etc.
Everything else the OP asked about sounds like basic electronics to me. I don't think (s)he is trying to re-purpose the gauge cluster to play Tetris or anything.
I stand corrected. The last time I heard they were being liquidated. But apparently they've come back fron the dead with a (somewhat) more practical car. The Explosion is around a quarter the price of the Apollo. So probably still not in the price range the poster was looking for.

There's nothing but a cold hard vacuum out there, with a couple of extremely inhospitable cold rocks.
Venus is not a "cold rock". But it is very inhospitable. Jupiter in not cold either. It's extremely hot, and even more inhospitable.
But who knows what is beyond our solar system. It may take a hundred years, or even a thousand, until we find a viable way to get there. In the meantime, it's still worth while figuring out how to survive in these environments. The useful tech that gets invented is worth while as far as I'm concerned.
Sorry for replying to myself twice. But It was listed under the Engine section. It's a 200 HP 2 liter 2 stroke. and weighs 132 pounds. That would be one hell of a fun engine to have in a 1000 lb sports car. Or one for each wheel at that size. Except it needs to be overhauled every 100 hours of use. Probably less than that for ground use though.
I just looked at the "technical specifications" on their website. Near the bottom it lists the fuel and oil as gasoline and 2 stroke oil. It doesn't state the engine is actually a 2 stroke. But it most likely is.
It is a pair of ducted fans driven by a four cylinder gasoline engine.
I didn't see anything in the link that stated it was a 4 stroke engine. Do you have another link? This seems like a great application for a 2 stroke engine to me.
Exhibit B, God (or Gods), generally regarded as being infinite/omnipresent/omnipotent/otherwise not subject to laws of physics - hence plenty of room for an infinite tape.
God does the complicated bit of deciding whether puny humans should kill or not - the "why" - leaving the humans to decide the simple bits like "when / who" (goes first), "how" (which bits to cut / shoot / throttle / stone), and which way up to hold the camera.
Cool. So we should be more efficient and program the bots to kill all humans. Then we can let god sort 'em out. It easier that way anyhow.
Are you sure, he just built the damn thing with a sheet of plywood and a CNC machine AKA the original 3D printer.
RTFA. He did not use a CNC machine. He hand made a cardboard template and glued it to the plywood and cut it our that way. For his next version, he wants to use harder wood and cut the gears using a CNC machine.
And no, a CNC machine is the exact opposite of a 3D printer. You start with a chunk of material and cut away what you don't want. A 3D printer is an additive manufacturing process.
Except it left section 215 of the patriot act in place. You know, the one that lets the FBI collect data on you w/o probable cause, or even believe you are doing anything wrong.
I didn't intend it to be damming in any way. The exact opposite , actually. At 15, he had to use the tools his father had in their shop. From what I read in TFA, his father wasn'ta mmaster carpenter. He had the tools needed to add a room onto the house.
At 15, with what my father had in the way of tools, this would have been a hell of an undertaking. For me as an adult, this would be ridiculously easier as I have a ton of tools and acquired skills. And I can afford to buy what ever I need for a project. Most of my tools now are for automotive body work and engines and such. So it would probably be easier for me to make a composite frame and cut the parts from metal. Or weld a steel or aluminum frame from tubes.
I thought the same thing. But I clicked on one of the links. One of the first things I looked at was how the pedals drove the back wheel. I figured it'd be a chain and sprocket he took off of a production bicycle. However, it looks to me like a three wooden gear setup.
This is a 15 year old kid. He built this using a single sheet of plywood. Even though he complained about the gears not meshing well, it's pretty damn impressive he was able to make these with tools you would find in, even a well equipped, home wood shop.
He did complain that he felt that using screws to hold it together felt like a cheat. So he plans to make his next iteration using harder wood for the gears on a CNC machine and glue and peg the entire thing together. Again, for a 15 year old kid, it's pretty interesting.
If I gave you a diagram of an Intel processor and I gave you the schematics there are lots of little differences that only an engineer would notice.
Dude, we're talking about doctors and neuroscientists here.
So, I place them firmly in the set of people who should be able to navigate this and would be capable of reading the schematics.
No one has the schematics for a human brain yet.
Well, apparently stuff we used to know 100 years ago we no longer know.
it's just hard to wrap my head around the notion that modern medicine just forgot about this, and haven't had it in their text books for that long.
Surely at some point someone would have said "Hey, check this out".
You would think. I'm in the medical field and I can tell you first hand that it's shocking how many things get overlooked. A friend of mine published a paper in 2005 describing how the papillary muscles in the heart do not attach to the ventricular wall as a solid mass as had been depicted in text books for years. In fact, he even pointed to a paper that showed that the muscle fibers spread out before attaching to the wall in an image. But then this same publication used drawings of them attaching as a solid mass. Everyone assumed they attached this way in the texts, and learned this, so even when someone actually looked at it, they still did not see that reality did not match what they learned.
The most popular body surface area (BSA) formula used in adults it DuBois. But if you ever read the paper which describes how it was done you'd lose your mind. They only had a handful of patients, 17 I believe. One had tuberculosis, One was an amputee, and another a midget. They stuck gum paper to these people and then pealed it off and measured it. But by the time better formulas were published, many many papers had already been published using DuBois.
...Can we do this cloning at Fukishima? I hear it's quiet this time of year.
Fantastic idea. I'm sure when the giant mutated god-mammoth/wolly-zilla discovers that our ancestors may have been responsible for it's species extinction all will be fine.
This car is going to have a major problem with most people because
The first time there's' a catastrophic failure the 24 hour news stations are going to be showing old films of the Heisenberg. Hydrogen will become the really scary new (again) bogyman. "Oh, the humanity"
But no one will think of all of the gasoline powered cars that came equipped with exploding gas tanks. Chrysler Jeeps being the most recent I can think of.
Years ago I had a DPT SCSI controller that had one on it. I didn't notice it when I installed it though. About a week after installing it I saw the red light reflected off of a box a few feet from the vent in the side of the case. It scared the he'll out of me as I thought something was on fire in the case at first.

Too bad they wet bankrupt last year. And it's not exactly the most practical. car. Or did they make something other than the one-million dollar Apollo
Reminds me of the Weeble ghost, with a different paint job and some blue lights.
I think they should have gone more for ED-209.
Snowden is a U.S. citizen, and so the CIA is limited in how far they can go with him.
Since he's no longer on American soil, it appears they really aren't that limited. Except for whether or not the country he is in can/will retaliate in a meaningful way.

It was obviously faked, as this site points out rather well.
So we should provide the security through fear of summary execution without trial or due process?
Don't we already do that with drones?
Yeah, I noticed that after posting, but didn't want to reply a third time to my own post.

It is meaningful in all kinds of ways.

Hopefully, unlike elephants, mammoths do forget.
I hear wooly mammoth is a little gamy.
20,000 years of freezer burn will do that I suppose.
Gotta love spell-check.
