Whatever your sub-genre of science fiction, these marvelous manuals will help you assemble anything from your own space-and-time machine to a personal light saber. For starters, a little wibbly-wobbly and some timey-wimey along with an infinity or so of connectors and voila, instant Tardis (or TJARDISS if you prefer the Scandinavian name) just like The Doctor ordered.

No Jar-Jar requiried to craft your own light saber (LITSABBER), but you may need help from The Force, a bit of training and some special crystals to put it all together.

While we all know what happens if you try to make your own dinosaur (DINDASUR), it isn’t stopping them from making a new Jurassic Park (World) movie – this way at least you can play along and get eaten in the comfort of your own home laboratory.

Finally, for those not sure about skipping about time and space in a blue police box, the Delorean (DJILORIANN) from the Back to the Future film franchise might provide a retro-stylish alternative – bonus: it can also fly!

A solution to so many problems in a single design, this clever stationary bicycle does your laundry while you do your workout, a winning idea all around.

For starters, there is the necessity of getting the laundry done, which means you must keep to a regular exercise schedule.

And then there is the energy-free aspect, saving you money on electricity, helping the environment and making it easy to relocate this bike anywhere you want (include a porch or backyard).

Finally, the whole setup is space-saving by its very nature – both exercise bikes and washing machines often take up a lot of space for something infrequently used and serving only one function. For now it is just a concept, but one can only hope that designer Li Huan will seek funding to make this ingenious vision a working reality.
