I mean...are you worried that a goalie wearing this mask is going to headbutt someone?

Poster I quoted was referring to player masks.

Ah! That makes more sense. Sorry, I missed that.

It would end fighting in a hurry. Only a true lunatic is going to take a swing at that with bare knuckles.

Just as with cat eye masks, there is still significant risk of getting a stick in the eye with a very open cage design. I suspect visors are safer for eye injuries unless you go with a similar pattern to current cages.

Even with visors the number of times you see a stick get caught in someone's helmet is surprising.

Also...have you seen 'Ice Wars?'

'Certifiable Lunatics' is probably a genuine and accurate medical diagnosis.

"Huh...fighting is dangerous...how can we make it more dangerous? Maybe we have them fight...on ice, which will hurt, while wearing armour...which will hurt...with boards...which will hurt?"

You think anyone is going to want to do that?



Certifiable Lunatics indeed.

New engine design with >60% thermal efficiency generating 160hp and 170ft-lbs torque weighing only 35 lbs. The actual engine is shown at 9:00 min, with a list of benefits after that.


Could be a great engine for hybrids, given it is air cooled and doesn't need much exhaust, so takes up far less space.


Here's an article on it:

Based on that thumbnail, whoever designed that seemed to heavily draw influence from the Nintendo Switch and a mixing table, eh? The fuel (assumed) funnel thing also looks hilariously like a doctor's otoscope.

I'm sure it's great tech. I just childishly find the image funny for some reason.

The "funnel" is the exhaust port.
