LPE Power makes pneumatic LEGO engines that you can build yourself that are very small, powerful, and capable of speeds in excess of 2000 RPM!
Currently, an inline 3 and inline 4 engine are available, though plans are in the works for a full V8, and they’re perfect fits for any of your LEGO models – trial trucks, cars, construction machinery, etc.
Think you’re ready for scale model power like never before?

If you don’t mind the idea of storing your valuables inside of a bunch of plastic bits and pieces, then the Lego NXT Safe might be the way to go for a DIY security solution.
Features include 6.5 kilograms of weight, a 7 centimeter thick door opened via a motorized lock, internal safety bars to prevent the walls from being disassembled, 30 liters of internal storage space, a burglar alarm activated by an acceleration sensor, and a five double digit security code entered through a directional sensitive dial, giving you more than 305 billion possible codes to unlock the door, so that unless you let the code slip after a few too many at the bar, the chances of someone guessing your code are pretty slim.

The Lego minifig is a cultural icon, having been introduced in 1978, and remaining virtually unchanged for thirty years.
To see the evolution of the iconic figure, Gizmodo painstakingly collected and cataloged almost every minifig ever produced into a photographic timeline, and it’s a great look through the history of the fixed limb figure.
Jason Freeny has been featured before on DYH, but he’s at it again with another piece of work that examines the insides of a minifig (aka a Lego Guy) so we’re once again taking a look at his fantastic work.
