All these machines still require 2 shillings to play. |
Celebrating the worlds first coin-operated video game, the wonderfully titled "Computer Space". Four are displayed at a Japanese video games museum. What's it doing here you ask?
Just check out the gorgeous fibreglass cases with full 1971 technicolour glitter gelcoat. We love it, the seventies rule!

My local pub still has one of these. True fact. |

Coil Springs Internal
Spring meets spring. Love on the rebound. |
Those crazy Germans at Audi are going to replace steel suspension springs with, you guessed it, fibreglass ones. These rust free replacements are 40% lighter and use less energy to manufacture.
Dr Ulrich Hackenberg, of Audi sings, "The core of the springs consists of long glass fibres twisted together and
impregnated with epoxy resin. A machine wraps additional fibres around this core
– which is only a few millimetres in diameter – at alternating angles of plus
and minus 45 degrees to the longitudinal axis. These tension and
compression plies mutually support one another to optimally absorb the stresses
acting on the component." So basically it's better.
Look out for these Audi trick laser headlights coming soon too.

Brazilians Get Neat Edges
Porto Alegre Stadium showing off. |
So now the World Cup is over and the Germans can parade their trophy. They can point out that they also helped build the new stadiums too, using wonderful fibreglass (57,000 square metres of the stuff) to create a sectional transparent leaf roof arrangement around the edge.

"Fibreglass membranes in the shape of palm leaves, tensioned between steel beams and coated with 3M Dyneon PTFE, are protecting spectators from the rain in Brazil’s Porto Alegre’s venue for the 2014 FIFA World Cup."
