As spectacular massage seats in non-luxury cars are, it is quite easy to build some. You have to reinvent the wheel, because there is already massage mats for cars to be placed on the seats. Exactly such mats I've just installed in my seat and the control electronics integrated in the seat console. On Sense and nonsense of a massage seat, one could argue, but I think it's just great, if you take a longer route tired to drive.

These mats are individually encapsulated in the interior of 5-6 vibration motors, like cell phone, but mingled with a bit larger. The control electronics, which has been so designed natively for the 12V cigarette lighter is in me from a simple on-off switch and 4 sliders. 3 sliders each controlling 2 motors for thighs, upper and lower back.

The idea was that you could potentially reduce any engine, if one narrows the outlet of the exhaust. The idea is not new, as many sports bikes already have designed a dynamic, automatic exhaust valve, which controls the back pressure to deliver to the engine in the rpm range the optimum back pressure. So I grabbed at eGay a 12V power outlet control for a Honda NSR, I wanted to use for an electric narrowing my elbow. Read the full post ...
