Ever wonder what over 200 ft lbs of torque at any RPM feels like?

That thing is sweet looking, union of art and technology and probably 50 grand to buy one, If it ever goes into production.

Yeah, no news on it recently.  Wonder how it is coming along.

Never knew what the term "Blue Shift" referred too...

Quote
Blue shift is the shortening of a transmitted signal's wavelength, and/or an increase in its frequency, due to the Doppler Effect, which indicates that the object is moving toward the observer. The name comes from the fact that the shorter-wavelength end of the optical spectrum is the blue (or violet) end, hence, when visible light is compacted in wavelength, it is shifted towards the "blue" end of the spectrum. Since the longer-wavelength end of the visible electromagnetic spectrum is red, the opposite effect, of a lengthening of a signal's wavelength, is referred to as redshifting.
