If you have $75 and the desire to slice 10" of carbon fiber through the air, Tyler Seamons has an official flying saucer of summertime for you. Pending successful project funding on Kickstarter, his frisbee and golf-style disc prototypes will undergo some edge and finishing refinements in their final stages, so the ultimate result will be a sleek black pancake of a ninja suitable for all ultimate pursuits.
The Disc golf carbon fiber driver's design will allow it to cover long distances while the frisbee version's will spin over shorter ranges and include a lip for catching. Both discs are to be edged with polyurethane plastic for protection, and weighted according to industry standards.
The Carbon Fiber disc/frisbee funding period runs through August 3, 2013.
November 2013 Update: Disc funding was unsuccessful, and at present it does not appear that its creator has proceeded with producing it for the public.

Thundrblade Electric Inline Skates
Now I was never so good at Rollerblading even when my wheels weren't under the power of two 1000W motors, so I know what I think about Thundrblade electric inline skates: medical disaster...
Mosler RaptorGTR
The Mosler RaptorGTR compares itself to the Bugatti Veyron SuperSport and Lamborghini Aventador. But only to point out that, in terms of power-to-weight ratio, it is better than both of them. (Though in terms of marketing...

Carbon Fiber Toilet Seat
A gold toilet seat: ostentatious. Indulgent. Ridiculous. A carbon fiber toilet seat: inconspicuous. Practical. Awesome. It's not an extravagance, it's...it's...well, I mean you need a toilet seat, right? And you need...

Sky Bouncer - Bouncing Frisbee
Great. Now when I don't catch the frisbee not only is it going to hit me in the face, it's going to hit me in the face and then bounce off up to 25 feet. The Sky Bouncer flies like a disc but ricochets off walls, floors...
Carbon Fiber Bathtub
If they were going put the effort into creating a bathtub out of airplane and race car materials, couldn't they have made it look like an airplane or race car? Not that I wouldn't still clamor to spend some QT in Corcel's...
