2009 BMW K1000R: is the K46 their new superbike

Here we have an illustration that has been commissioned by Motociclismo of what could be the 2009 BMW K1000R. This 1000cc superbike will have an inline-four engine, and the design is so compact that it can fit inside an R6 fairing and will have a 1:1 power to kg ratio.

At the moment the bike pictured above is codenamed K46, however it is believed that this could become the K1000R. It seems that with the design of this superbike, BMW are looking to take on the Japanese.

Gameboy powered by 1936-38 Jensen steam engine: Why?

Here is a video of some guy using a 1936-38 Jensen steam engine to power his Gameboy. Oh just to let you know, the flywheels used is from a later model. The steam engine then runs a small generator which produces 3V DV; this is enough to power the Nintendo Gameboy.

What I do not understand is why any one would want to run their Gameboy on such a noisy and bulky piece of equipment. However I have been told that a number of people run their Gameboy by steam, we live in a strange world.
