NEW THIS SUMMER: Subscriptions now available to the award-winning, iPad-optimized version of POPULAR MECHANICS. Sign up from within the app to access additional reporting, interactive graphics and diagrams, 3D models, animations, videos, and links to online material, all within a slick, easy-to-navigate interface.

In the September issue of POPULAR MECHANICS, we report on the world of DIY apps, where regular folks not programmers are using new tools to make and sell tools and games for mobile devices. We've even included a car-engine game, Be The Spark, that we created with GameSalad, one of the companies helping drive the DIY app movement.

Also in the September issue, POPULAR MECHANICS examines the explosive claims laid out in a new book about Area 51, sorting fact from fiction and finding plenty of the latter. We explore the debate over the imminent light-bulb ban, and put new lighting technologies to the test in the PM labs. Then, POPULAR MECHANICS provides a reality check in the debate over fracking for natural gas.
