Introduced to the press on 12 March 1952 on the autobahn between Stuttgart and Heilbronn, the prototype 300 SL (Super Lightweight) was powered by a 3-liter, six-cylinder in-line engine canted at 50 degrees with an overhead camshaft, three Solex twin carburetors and dry sump lubrication, which put out 170 bhp for a maximum speed of 143 mph (230 kph).

That being the case, some cyclists might find it a little counter-intuitive to use plain old hardware store hooks for showing off their masterpiece of motorless transportation. That&#8217;s where the Bike Valet comes in. Not only does the bike-hanging device look pretty snazzy, but it also incorporates some practical features. <a href="/web/20120127025030/http://www.gizmag.com/bike-valet-bicycle-storage/21234/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20120127025030/http://www.gizmag.com/games/" style="float: left; ">GAMES</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120127025030/http://www.gizmag.com/xbox-720-blu-ray-specs/21230/">Insiders suggest XBox 720 will have six times the power, play Blu-Ray discs</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120127025030/http://www.gizmag.com/author/james-holloway/">James Holloway</a></p> <p><em>10:59 January 26, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120127025030/http://www.gizmag.com/xbox-720-blu-ray-specs/21230/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120127025030im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/samaritan.png" title="A screenshot from Epic's Unreal 3 Engine Samaritan demo, which is what the company 'wants ..." alt="A screenshot from Epic's Unreal 3 Engine Samaritan demo, which is what the company 'wants ..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>The rumor mill has been spinning about the next-generation XBox for some time, but Tuesday and Wednesday of this week saw first IGN, and then Kotaku, reveal what appears to be the first non-gaseous (if not concrete-solid) information from inside sources as to the machine's spec. It seems that the console (not officially called the 720, but the placeholder is convenient) will, IGN reports, be approximately six times as powerful as the current generation of consoles. Kotaku says the device will play Blu-Ray discs, and herald the arrival of Kinect 2. Worryingly, it also reports that there's a possibility that the machine will prevent owners from playing pre-owned games. <a href="/web/20120127025030/http://www.gizmag.com/xbox-720-blu-ray-specs/21230/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20120127025030/http://www.gizmag.com/spygear/" style="float: left; ">SPY GEAR</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120127025030/http://www.gizmag.com/wi-fi-usb-cufflinks/21232/">Secret agents can create a Wi-Fi network and hide important files with these cufflinks</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120127025030/http://www.gizmag.com/author/emily-price/">Emily Price</a></p> <p><em>10:55 January 26, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120127025030/http://www.gizmag.com/wi-fi-usb-cufflinks/21232/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120127025030im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/wificufflinks-1.png" title="The end of one of the cufflinks pops out, and when plugged into the USB port on your compu..." alt="The end of one of the cufflinks pops out, and when plugged into the USB port on your compu..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Life as a secret agent means you need to have access to the internet when you need it, as well as have the ability to carry around important files in locations where your adversaries won't think to look. These secret agent-worthy Wi-Fi cufflinks let you wear your mobile hotspot on one wrist, and carry around 2GB of important files on the other. The Wi-Fi cufflink essentially acts like a miniature router.

Unfortunately, sand or other abrasive particles suspended in air or liquid also have a way of eroding not just spray paint, but pretty much anything they encounter. As a result, items such as helicopter rotor blades, airplane propellers, rocket motor nozzles and pipes regularly wear out and need to replaced. Interestingly enough, however, scorpions live their entire lives subjected to blowing sand, yet <em>they</em> never appear to ... well, to erode. A group of scientists recently set out to discover their secret, so it could be applied to man-made materials. <a href="/web/20120127025030/http://www.gizmag.com/scorpion-inspired-anti-wear-material/21233/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20120127025030/http://www.gizmag.com/mobiletechnology/" style="float: left; ">MOBILE TECHNOLOGY</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120127025030/http://www.gizmag.com/virtual-projection-screen-sharing/21229/">Virtual Projection emulates laws of physics for screen sharing between devices</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120127025030/http://www.gizmag.com/author/james-holloway/">James Holloway</a></p> <p><em>07:13 January 26, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120127025030/http://www.gizmag.com/virtual-projection-screen-sharing/21229/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120127025030im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/virtual-projector.jpg" title="A team of researchers have come up with a novel take on screen sharing inspired by traditi..." alt="A team of researchers have come up with a novel take on screen sharing inspired by traditi..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Researchers are investigating a means of virtually projecting images from handheld devices onto computer screens.
