10 of the weirdest inflatables ever…

Posted on by James Mallinder

10) Inflatable floating wind turbine

The least weird but somewhat still a bit odd…science is a wonderful and whacky thing – check this out:

“The inflatable wind turbine is designed to lift to high altitudes where winds are stronger and more consistent than those reached by traditional tower-mounted turbines. The turbine is held in place by high-strength tethers, which also have cables to carry electricity to the ground. The BAT borrows heavily from aerostats, the blimp-like inflatables that have been used to lift heavy communications equipment for years. BAT is designed to withstand very strong winds, and a prototype survived 45mph winds in a 2013 test.”

9) Inflatable Russian Military tanks

The Russians are by far one of the quirkiest and technologically advanced countries in the world, but we’re not sure about their idea for ballistic inflatable tanks… That said – when world war 3 is over there’ll be some fun to be had with these bad boys.

“The Russian military has lifted the curtain on the county’s new secret weapon: inflatable tanks.

These blow-up ballistic doppelgangers are used to fool enemy surveillance and intelligence drones into believing that the Russian army is far better equipped than they really are. The specially crafted material even fools enemy radar and tricks thermal imaging sensors into thinking that they’re the real deal, carrying the same heat signatures as their more tangible cousins.”

8) The ‘blow-up hand Elephant-thing’

Well they don’t even know what it is…

“Making a blow-up robot has plenty of advantages. It’s much cheaper to create a body that’s made mostly of air, and the Ant-Roach can swim in water. It’s also got a massive strength-to-weight ratio, too. It’s about 30kg, but can support anywhere up to 450kg. On the downside, a sharp needle could probably bring the bot down.”

7) Inflatable steel furniture

No we’re not joking, IKEA must be seething they didn’t think of it first… or aren’t.

“Forget flat-pack: the future of furniture is inflatable steel. That’s the vision of Oskar Zieta, a Polish designer who uses the technique to make resilient pieces such as ladders, chairs and stools. And his latest, the Tatarak coat stand, can be blown up at home with little more than a bicycle pump.”

Don’t have any ancient relics of your own!? No problem just blow up your own Stonehenge!

5) A giant inflatable colon

Because you just never know when you might need one.

4) Inflatable food

Because real food is too calorific (obviously) and everyone needs an inflatable turkey centrepiece  – only in America!

3) An inflatable church

We’re not going to preach how weird it is, but if you’re short on planning permission – fear not, you can inflate it, have your service and then deflate it like nothing ever happened.

Can we get a “hallelujah”?

2) Inflatable lady boobs

Ladies and gents of a certain type… may we present to you, the inflatable boob!

Haven’t got £8000 for a boob-job? No problem! This budget version from Japan (of course) is a snip of the price and looks utterly real (under your clothes) well until someone bursts it, or you have to get undressed.

1) Inflatable child-birth re-enactment

What better way to show children the birds and the bees than a 24 foot inflatable, nightmarish, monstrosity like this… Go Sweden!

  4. First off I would like to say great blog! I had a quick
    question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind
    before writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying to
    figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Kudos!

  6. Hey there, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your blog site in Opera, it looks fine but
    when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, very good blog!

  11. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get set up?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a
    pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% certain. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Kudos

  12. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter
    to be actually something which I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post,
    I will try to get the hang of it!

  13. excellent put up, very informative. I ponder why
    the opposite specialists of this sector don’t realize this.

    You should proceed your writing. I am confident,
    you have a great readers’ base already!

  14. My family members always say that I am killing my
    time here at net, except I know I am getting familiarity every day
    by reading thes pleasant articles or reviews.

  16. Hey are using WordPress for your blog platform?
    I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own.
    Do you require any html coding knowledge to make your own blog?
    Any help would be really appreciated!

  17. The method was originally created in Europe as a solution to a common problem that many online players had been having when it came to web-based payment method options. The Paysafecard is available for purchase all over the world, as sales outlets offer it to their users. The card is not only easy to work with and fast, but can also be used at any online casino that accepts the method. When choosing a Paysafecard casino online, there are certain factors that need to be observed. Since safety has already been addressed, games variety and bonus relevance are the next things you should consider. Payment limits and mobile versions are also of high importance so they should be among your priorities as well. If those factors tick the needed boxes, then you can make up your mind and choose your new online casino Paysafecard without any doubt! https://martinhaoe108653.losblogos.com/3500550/merkur-online-casino-paysafecard-youtube-downloader The Weston Hospicecare will respect the intent of the donor relating to gifts for restricted purposes and those relating to the desire to remain anonymous. With respect to anonymous gifts, the Weston Hospicecare will restrict information about the donor to only those staff members with a need to know. If you don’t own a credit card, want to control your gambling expenses or prefer to keep your gambling habits private, Paysafecard casinos are a good option for you. On the downside, Paysafecard can’t be used for withdrawals, so you will need to find an alternative method. Stay with me while we get into the details – or if you prefer – move forward with the list of approved online casinos accepting Paysafecard for fast, secure and easy deposits. If you think about complicated gambling jurisdictions like USA, having a Paysafecard casino around is just great. The most interesting thing is that many online casinos accept it, so American players won’t have many restrictions when trying to find a casino that accepts Paysafecard, because there are plenty!

    Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa?
    My blog discusses a lot of the same subjects
    as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from
    each other. If you might be interested feel free to shoot
    me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog by the
    way! scoliosis

    Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was
    extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.

    I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything.
    Do you have any tips for beginner blog writers?
    I’d genuinely appreciate it. scoliosis

    your web site in internet explorer, may test this?

    people will leave out your wonderful writing because
    of this problem.

  28. I am not sure where you are getting your info,
    but good topic. I needs to spend some time learning more or
    understanding more. Thanks for wonderful info I was looking
    for this info for my mission.

  31. Hello, i think that i saw you visited my weblog thus i came to “return the
    favor”.I am trying to find things to enhance my website!I suppose its ok to use
    a few of your ideas!!

  32. What’s up it’s me, I am also visiting this web site on a regular basis,
    this web site is in fact nice and the users are truly sharing fastidious thoughts.

  33. Apart from safety, Paysafecard offers great flexibility as deposits are transferred immediately. Most online casinos do not charge fees on deposits via this prepaid payment method. Finally, being a prepaid payment solution, Paysafecard minimizes the risks of overspending. Jedes Paysafecard Casino, das wir Ihnen auf Gambling.com vorstellen, haben wir in einer gründlichen Rezension genau unter die Lupe genommen. Unsere Autoren registrieren sich auf der jeweiligen Spiele-Plattform und wählen im Online Casino die Option Paysafecard als Zahlungsmethode aus, um den Ablauf für Sie optimal beschreiben zu können. Another option is using a Paysafecard wallet, where you have to sign up on the Paysafecard website. Just log into your My Paysafecard account directly from the cashier and make online payments by providing your 16-digit code. If you opt for this way of depositing, all your vouchers will be stored in one place, on your Paysafecard account. You can fund it via your bank account or with credit or debit card or top it up with purchased vouchers. https://astro-wiki.win/index.php/Crypto_casinos_xyz As one might assume from the name, Paddy Power is an Irish-based casino. The casino offers over 150 slot games and casino games from big names such as Ash Gaming and Playtech. What’s more, you can download the Paddy Power mobile casino app and play these games from the comfort of your phone. PaySafeCard is as a simple and safe prepaid card that has become one of the most used payment methods at online casinos. For security-conscious online gamers, PaySafeCard uses a secure 16-digit PIN code, which makes it one of the safest ways to transfer funds online. Available at most top quality online casinos, PaySafeCard has become one of the most loved casino payment providers as it offers complete anonymity, low fees and is a very simple way to make fast deposits. Each card comes with a 16-digit PIN number which you use to pay online using your paysafecard. In a way it works similarly to a store gift card. Say you’re making a deposit at an online casino, you can either use the full amount on your card or just some of it. However paysafecard can only be used for deposits, as funds cannot be withdrawn to the card.

  36. Также помните, что некоторые заболевания могут протекать бессимптомно. Поэтому мужчинам рекомендуется посещать уролога ежегодно. Врач-хирург, уролог-андролог Уролог занимается диагностикой и лечением заболеваний мочеполовых органов. Андролог – это уролог, который диагностирует и лечит заболевания мужской мочеполовой системы (уретриты, варикоцеле, простатиты, сексуальные расстройства и т.д.). Обследование и лечение в нашей Клинике проводится опытными специалистами на современном оборудовании высоких классов, в соответствии с современными мировыми стандартами и рекомендациями ВОЗ. У нас имеется собственная лаборатория, возможности для качественного проведения микрохирургических манипуляций и криоконсервации биоматериала, ведущие специалисты в СПб в области ЭКО и ИКСИ. (evidence-based medicine) Что такое урология? Урология – это раздел медицины, объединяющий в себе такие пограничные специализации как: андрология, гинекология и педиатрия. Разделяют урологию в зависимости от половой принадлежности − на женскую и мужскую, и по возрастному фактору − на детскую и гериатрическую (пожилые пациенты). http://cosmostech.eu/technologyadvances/index.php/?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&task=user&id=164251 При эректильной дисфункции терапией первой линии являются ингибиторы фосфодиэстеразы 5 типа. Их эффективность, безопасность и простота использования доказаны во многих исследованиях со времени внедрения в клиническую практику силденафила. В выборе целей лечения и индивидуальном подборе оптимального препарата помогает определение модели сексуального поведения мужчин… Лечение эректильной дисфункции: силденафил Записаться к врачу Можно ли лечить эректильную дисфункцию препаратами тестостерона? Диагностика эректильной дисфункции начинается с предварительного осмотра половых органов больного на предмет наличия анатомических изменений. В некоторых случаях, проводится ректальное обследование простаты. Часто в таких случаях доктор назначает также биохимическое лабораторное обследование: сывороточный уровень основного мужского гормона – тестостерона (как общего, так и свободного с расчётом индекса андрогенов), других гормонов, имеющих отношение к регуляции половой функции, уровень глюкозы крови и липидный профиль (в том числе всем известный холестерин). Хочется выразить благодарность Кожаковой Ирине Геннадьевне. Она специалист с Большой буквы! Большое спасибо, Ирина Геннадьевна
