7hrs till the unvailing of the mysterious IT invention. WTF is the invention. Ha Ha Ha. Word is its some kind of personal vehicle and cities will build around this invention. :375:

Maybe its a hover board like the one from Back To The Future II. Now that would be cool, but im doubting it is. I want my flying car like the ones they have in the Jetsons. :Power-P:

the amazing 'it' is a scooter. well a revolutionaery new scooter.
personally its hella dope and ill rpolly get one on the black market or off sum crackhead for 20 bucks. but i wouldnt pay 3000 for it.

it looks cool and goes about 14 mph. tats hella fast
if u want to go forwards u lean forwards and u go, no pushing, all motorized. if u want to stop simply just get off.

id get one if i was rich. and the scooter can withstand the weight of 3 SUVS.

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Inventor Dean Kamen's mystery invention, dubbed ``IT'' or ``Ginger,'' is a two-wheeled,hydrogen-powered scooter that is emission-free, according to Inside magazine.
'``Ginger represents the first generation of a new mode of transportation that will compete with and possiblyreplace automobiles,'' the magazine said. ``The ramifications of a 'hydrogen economy' would be profound on everythingfrom the environment to the energy business to global politics.''

The magazine, the biweekly sibling publication of Inside.com, said Tuesday it used corporate surveillance expertsto uncover details on the invention. The issue hits newsstands this week.

Kamen has refused to discuss the project, saying he will not reveal what IT is until next year.

Some of the financial world's biggest names, like Steve Jobs of Apple Computer Inc. and Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com,have offered financial support and say the invention will change transportation.

Kamen created a company called ACROS to specially build the ``motorized, self-propelled, wheeled personal mobilityaides, namely wheelchairs, scooters, carts and chariots,'' the magazine said.

Such devices presumably would draw on the development of the I-bot, a mechanical wheelchair that can drive throughsand and climb stairs, created by Kamen and his medical-research firm, DEKA Research and Development.

Last week at an appearance before the New Hampshire Society of Professional Engineers, Kamen would only say he wasamazed at the amount of attention IT has received.

Kamen is a prolific inventor who has come up with innovative wheelchairs and an insulin pump. He was the recipientof the 2000 National Medal of Technology.
