Amazingg Longest Bike in the World
It has been to our attention that the longest bike in the world, officialy registered by Guiness record book is from Russia.It’s creator Oleg “Leshij” Rogov was from Tver city, a small town near Moscow city. He was a big biker fan since his childhood. One day he has got an idea to build the longest bike in the world, according to his own story “probably after he got too much  beer inside”.
So after two years of planning and delaying he did it. He built the bike that was 31 feet 4 inches long (9 metres 57 cm). After the thing was ready he sent his claim to the Guiness book and got registered as longest bike in the world.
The saddest part of the story is that he got into accident and died this summer, still we have the photos of his creation, it would be some kind of tribute to him.

Amazing Driving
Driving a car through the smallest gap-Amazing world record set by Dave Ackland
PLYMOUTH, UK -- In a 1968 Vauxhall Viva. driver Dave Ackland, aged 39, from Keyham, drove on two wheels through a gap 67cm wider than the height of the car, at the Barbican Leisure Park, setting the new world record for driving a car on two wheels through the smallest gap.
The 39-year-old drove his black 1968 Vauxhall Viva through a 2.02m gap, beating the previous record by 1cm.
The difficult move, known as skiing, is considered the 'Holy Grail' of car stunts and has been used in two Bond films, and the US television series Knight Rider and the Dukes of Hazzard.
Mr Dave Ackland, a professional stunt driver from Plymouth, Devon drove over a ramp at around 8mph to flip the vehicle onto its rightside wheels.
Using finely-judged movements of the steering wheel to keep the car balanced and moving in a straight line, he passed through two columns of cardboard boxes just 2.02m apart.
"It's not so much a dangerous stunt for someone who's been doing it for years, and distance is not a problem - it's precision that's key."

Smallest Helicopter- Amazing World Record
MATSUMOTO, Japan-- 75-year-old Gennai Yanagisawa, who runs an electronics equipment company in Matsumoto, central Japan, has created a 75kg (165-pound) one-man aircraft which sets the world record for the smallest helicopter.
In this photo released on by Japanese helicopter manufacturing company Gen Corporation, the company employee Yasutoshi Yokoyama flies in the air by GEN H-4, a compact single-seater helicopter developed by Gen Corporation, during its test flight in Matsumoto in central Japan's Nagano Prefecture.
Yanagisawa developed the GEN H-4 helicopter — with rotors, a chair, footrest and handle bar — in the late 1990s.
Yanagisawa's helicopter is the smallest model in the world in terms of weight and its rotor length of 3.9 metres.
The GEN H-4 has two rotors turning in opposite directions to maintain stability, and four engines that enables a 30-minute flight with a top speed of about 56 miles per hour.
The helicopter has two identical rotors that turn in opposite directions making the need for a tail rotor obsolete. Each rotor counteracts the others torque keeping the helicopter free of any unwanted spin.
The entire rotor head is supported on a gimbal, which is slanted towards the direction of travel by the control bar. The pilot can therefore change their direction by shifting their weight.
It has four twin cylinder engines and can remain in the air even if two of the engines of malfunction. However, they have attached a parachute above the mast just in case...
Da Vinci designed what is thought to be the first vertical flight machine, "an aerial screw," in the 1480s, according to Italy's National Museum of Science and Technology.

ceiling fans made of wood!
An innovative carpenter gifted with a technical bent of mind has developed a variety of ceiling fans made of wood!
Carpenter-technician Suresh Sharma, 40, claims that all of the 104 models of fans have been designed and developed by him. These handmade fans are unique and different as none of the designs have been repeated or copied. The smallest fan in his collection is an 8-inch fan and the biggest one being 11 feet long!
The wooden body fans that run by electricity like normal ceiling fans, have earned him quite popularity here. These fans captivate attention, as one finds blades of ceiling fans made of wood. The users can enjoy cool air.
"These fans are different in a way as the wooden blades of the fan are natural. They are not made of metal. The temperature does not affect the blades of the fan. Outside temperature is ineffective on the wooden fan and thus the fan spreads cooler air," said, Suresh Sharma.
Suresh has taken 13 years to develop various creative works that include making wooden fans. Basically these extraordinary looking fans are made of pure wood and blow the air like any ordinary fan.
He had felt driven at first to try his hand on making fans after he repaired his grand fathers'' very old fan. It motivated him to explore his latent talent in making fans. Today, he has a wide collection of wooden fans.
As these fans are completely designed, carved and assembled by artisans and are expensive.
Suresh says that the advantage of a wooden fans is that it is shock-proof, which makes safe to handle in day-to-day life.
For this extraordinary work, Sharma has been listed in Limca Book of Records and he is very keen to have his innovation also endorsed by the Guinness Book of World Records.
On his part, Suresh Sharma is very enthusiastic about his innovation and wishes that there should be commercial production of wooden fans. Suresh Sharma wishes that his innovative fan is patented and also gets a brand name so that he could sell more of these wooden fans.

Beard artist
An Indian businessman has made the record books - after sporting 57 different beard designs in four years.Sameer Mehta, 37, of Gujarati, visits a barber every other day for around two hours to perfect his intricate designs.
But he says it can take around a month, and up to £60, to complete each new design.
"I use my beard to convey things without actually saying them," Mr Mehta told the Times of India.
His designs have included an IPL tribute in the shape of cricket bats and balls, a tricolour flag for Independence Day, a heart for Valentine's Day and a voting symbol during last year's elections.
The idea first came to him four years ago when he was lying on a hospital bed after having his appendix removed.
He thought that men, compared to women, had very few fashion choices and decided to use his facial hair to make a statement.
When Mr Mehta sported his very first design - which he called a six half eggs beard - passers-by would snigger and his own wife refused to be seen with him.
However, he ignored the criticism and now people stop him in the street to take his photograph - and even his wife's frosty feelings have thawed.
And, after entering the Limca Book of Records, India's version of the Guinness Book of Records, he is vowing to carry on and clock up 100 designs.

The previous record was held by an 84kg burger made in the US.
Owner Joe El-Ajouz said the burger would not be a regular feature on the cafe's menu, considering it took him almost 24 hours to create and three months to plan, but he was delighted with the results.
