Colin Furze (born 1979) is a plumber, stuntman, inventor, filmmaker, and YouTuber from Stamford, Lincolnshire, England. Furze left school at 16 to become a plumber, where he remained until joining Sky1 program Gadget Geeks. Furze uses his plumbing and engineering experience to build many contraptions, including a wall of death, the world’s longest motorbike, the world’s fastest stroller, and a jet-powered motorcycle made with pulsejet engines.
Certain projects he has undertaken have been funded by popular television and video game franchises for promotion, including a spring-loaded hidden blade and grappling hook from the Assassin’s Creed franchise, and a bunker underneath his backyard to promote Sky1’s television series You, Me and the Apocalypse.

Inventions

Furze’s many contraptions are publicised on YouTube. On 13 March 2010, he uploaded a video of his converted scooter, incorporating a flame thrower that could shoot flames up to 15 feet (4.6 m) in the air. On 25 March 2010, Furze was arrested by Lincolnshire Police, for possessing an object converted into a firearm. He was released on bail without charge the next day. This was Furze’s third attempt, as the first did not ignite and the second burst into flames.

On 5 May 2014, Furze posted a video to kick off his 3-week long X-Men characters special by designing a set of realistic Wolverine claws based on a pneumatic system. Within its first week it had received over 3 million views.

On 23 October 2015, Furze released a video showing off the start of a new multi-part build, in which he would construct a Hidden Blade to promote the new Ubisoft game, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate. Furze went on to make the Hidden Blade, a spring-loaded concealed blade that activates at the flick of the wrist with the help of a ring-triggered wheel mechanism, a rope launcher, and a winch device, all built onto a frame that fitted his wrist.

In 2016, Furze created a “hoverbike” using two paramotors.

Achievements

On 14 October 2010, it was announced that Furze had modified a mobility scooter which can reach 71 mph (114 km/h) to try to enter the Guinness Book of Records. It took him nearly three months to build and has a 125 cc motocross engine.

On 10 October 2012, Furze posted a video showing a pram fitted with an engine which, if it travels over 30 mph (48 km/h), will make it the world’s fastest pram. The baby carriage was featured in the October 2013 copy of Popular Science Magazine, when Furze was interviewed about the reasons he modded the pram.

Television

Furze appears as one of the experts on Gadget Geeks, the Sky1 series that focuses on technology and gadgets, that was broadcast in January 2012. Furze has been ‘number one’ multiple times on the Science Channel show Outrageous Acts of Science and has appeared on the E4 show Virtually Famous twice, demonstrating his wolverine claws on 28 July 2014 and again the following year showcasing the ‘toaster knife’

Tyson Chandler was born October 2, 1982 in Hanford, California. During his career he has played for several teams including the Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns and the Chicago Bulls. He began playing basketball at the of age of three on a rim that his grandfather Cleo affixed to a tree. Years later, Tyson Chandler would tell a media source that his grandfather was his best friend. Tyson’s mom and grandmother did much to mold his personality. During his childhood he was taught a strong work ethic. Chandler milked cows, slopped pigs and worked in the fields. By the time Chandler was only nine years old, he had grown to be almost 6 feet tall. He continued to grow and by the time he was 11 he already stood 6′ 4″. One Halloween, a neighbor refused to give him candy because they didn’t believe Tyson was a kid. But everything changed for him when he turned his height into an advantage and took the basketball world by storm—though not before working through his awkward stage of trying to figure out with to do with those four, gangly limbs. Chandler made the decision to skip college and go straight for the pros. He was picked second in June of 2001 by the Los Angeles Clippers – but was immediately traded to the Chicago Bulls where he played 2001 to 2006. He went on to play for the New Orleans Hornets (2006-09), the Charlotte Bobcats (2009-10), the Dallas Mavericks (2010-11), the New York Knicks (2011-2014) then back to the Mavericks in 2014 and on to the Phoenix Suns in 2015. As a player in general, Tyson Chandler is considered an intense and highly effective interior defender. He is quick and instinctive and has learned to curtail unnecessary fouls. He is also considered a natural rebounder. Tyson Chandler has been compared to Dennis Rodman in the sense that Chandler feels every ball on the glass is ‘his.’ He is adept at spotting a seam and taking interior passes and alley-oops from the veteran guards. He may only attempt a handful of shots a game, but often his baskets are attention-grabbers. As of September 2018, Tyson Chandler has earned more than $170 million in salary alone. That’s enough to make him one of the 20 highest-earnings players in the history of the NBA.
