Invisiblity coats are now a reality

Well, before you even excited about some of the magic invisibility cloak like Harry Potter, you need to know that so far the technology has not done a single thing to invisible: a bump on a gold bar.

Yes, it's a bump that only 0.00004 inches and 0.0005 inches in diameter, you'll probably see not only how it will look with a magnifying glass.

But it's start, and the researchers of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany have succeeded in this little hump dress that could avoid detection at frequencies near the visible infrared. I'm not talking about stealth, but the effect of “cloaking” is visible in 3D view it from all sides.

How do they do it? Now the hair is a “crystal structure with air spaces between, like a pile of wood, which bends light, hid the bump later in the gold.” As you can guess, the size is important when it comes to something invisible, cloaking larger Objects with this technology is not really possible. ”

In other words, we are well ahead of our vehicles coat as the Romulans in Star Trek. However, I also experience the wonder and terror that we have the technology of invisibility, even if it is still in its infancy.

Portable twice his own pocket

Instead of buying a case for carrying your laptop, you can have a laptop that doubles as a business. This concept, you can wear a little less money to spend and perhaps a little less. Of course, some people still around too much equipment and have the sack, but in those cases where you have a bag, handle the could also be used by other appropriate means.

Whether it easier to just walk around your desk with a laptop or for longer trips, I could easily see it quickly became a very widespread practice. The same handle may also be required to use to support your laptop. Who would, so you do not carry a laptop anymore. At this moment, “Playing By Heart” is a laptop design directly from the mind of Zhang Shouze. This means that you do not just purchase one anytime soon.

Taga Stroller Trike can now be converted into a pram

A year ago, we covered the TAGA baby tricycle, which is essentially exactly what it says it is: a way to ask your grandchildren to a much simpler method of transportation.

As you can see on video, Taga bike can transform into the stroller. It looks like a new feature, as I have not seen this feature, as I reported on this first. I remember saying that it folds, but she said none of its workability.

That would be why the company has created all these videos of Transforming Taga needs. Especially since they exploit change shape in just 20 seconds. In view of the struggles I had with my stroller, I'd say it's pretty good.

Like I said, my experience with the pram is not always pleasant. I found that the walkers when they should, and have been pushing terribly upwards, even if it is only a slight incline. This move is particularly Taga like one of those amazing three-spoke design and easy to move.

Of course, all these costs and the cost much. Transformer Taga Award: $ 1,495. Dang! Unless you are the parents of 18 children, and are constantly, I do not know see this as a sensible investment.

Legend of the Sikker

I've never been a baby monitor in my house, but if I did, I probably safe to use.

The Sikker not like those who are substantially over-priced Walkie-Talkies. At least that is what a few years ago. I am sure that mobile technology has improved since then. Whatever the case, which makes what is Safe from other baby monitors, that it comes in the form of two bracelets.

One group is for the baby, and it is for the parents. They are wirelessly synchronized with each other because they are based. The parent can use his wrist to the temperature of the baby or remote control to play music for the child on the radio. I do not see why an SD slot to the MP3 tracks can be added.

Yes, the Sikker (Danish for “security”) is still a concept for now, so who knows what can he do? Why I would say that perhaps if these bracelets will do float in the air at the base station.

Of course I can not disagree with this problem yet. What happens if your child does not have a bracelet? This type of monitoring system shoot your baby all to hell, is not it? I think we can Cuff (perhaps too strong a word) the band at a bar in the cradle, but they are no longer the temperature reading.

Industrial Dual iPod Dock

Of all the iPod docks that I've met (and I've seen many), it is now my all time favorite. It's more interesting that I observed, without a device for cheap novelty. This is all great, enjoy the industrial aspect, or just want something new that stands out from the rest of the electronics. Moreover, for a docking station is a small friendly budget.

The whole matter was found with parts in a secondhand shop equipment. Part is used, the dock there is a particularly unique. Even if the creator had to make multiple, none of them could be exactly the same. The dock is compatible Compatible with all types of iPods and iPhones all. It is with the iPod shuffle, which is a rare thing to find. You can buy the dock to the double-sided for $ 95 to Etsy.

Cardboard Turntables

I do not know who actually has a hub. I always find it interesting, but I can not say that I run a lot of the need to find and buy this book. Even for those of you who are a bit small and easily hidden everywhere want this record is one way to do this. What was once nothing more than a handle to a record will be redesigned and re-used as a hub.

Of course, nothing is off the line up and it is probably still a little help from you, but it still works. To get up and running, simply assemble all the cardboard in the appropriate training. Then, just put a pin in the center of the disc on the turntable. The vibrations are then amplified via the needle and the carton. It was just something that has the creative directors in North America to demonstrate the capabilities of their technical GGRP's.

To make fun of mowing with the Roller Lawnmower

If there is one thing I hate is mowing the lawn. Maybe I should get one of these lawn mowers, remote control, like the goat. I know he can not afford a riding mower and could not have a large lawn to work with. What I give driving these scooters.

The lawnmower reel is designed by Vicky Petihovski, and I think it is a way to make America less liked it more fun. By design, it has an electric motor that can drive the blades and scooters.

This means you can ride the scooter, so that the blades do the work. It can h up to 6 km /, and it can collect the clippings inside. There is even a transparent window so that you can see in it, and know when it's time to be emptied.

Speaking of empty, I do not really see a place where the engine sits. I do not know where the gas share, provided it runs on liquid fuel.

If you ask me, sees the scooter mower, as it should be, a toy, and it reminds me of a Radio Flyer wagon. However, you would comfort a child, what a lawn mower? I mean, I would leave feeling well, a teenager to mow the lawn, but since Dad is playing with the scooter mower would certainly want a child of any age to join in inspiration.

Bloomlight is taught in more luminescence

It's always good to see, is where the technology is an imitation of nature. In this case, the Bloom's Light.

The Light Bloom is the creation by Patrick Jouin. It is simply a concept for now, but it could be very easy, what would I presented in my room reading. This would assume that I have a reading room, I did not.

As you can see, is something like a regular light bulb, at least initially. And by the word “pear”, I mean something like a bud. I think Bud is probably the best explanation, that the flowers of light as a flower. This allows light from the room are distributed, and I think he has some nice drawings.

Perhaps, if it is, it can be something like a chandelier disco. The form reminds me of the “main weapon” the big Honkin 'Tanker in Independence Day. I suppose if the light was Bloom, a chandelier, I could be nervous, it would burn.

But I like the design, and I would be glad to have him on my ceiling, or lamppost. It is not for sale, but now will be exhibited at the International Furniture Fair in Milan.

The Voice Quad Copter WITH

I liked AR.Drone Parrot at CES, and I had so much fun to see the video of this quad-copter, the robust robotics group at MIT produced Clock.

It seems that this robust robotics this matter a little further, but it still requires some kind of iPhone the control has to keep them. The AR.Drone not able to take voice commands.

You can see from the vid that says the manager “fly by room 124, then at the windows and climb. It must have been some voices in the text on the iPhone, and it appears that the helicopter of the text of the actual can send orders.

The film has a man who speaks simply commands like “top” and “go to the elevator. It obeys commands, and even if such contracts are very vague. I mean, how the expertise of senior helicopter or an area around the elevator to go?

I suppose it could serve as a kind of mini-drone “Predator”, which is controlled by the voice are used. Hopefully will obey the order to “get out of there.”

Well, usually all that is developed at the University of Tech-concept. If they develop, and commercialize, while AR.Drone has some serious competition.

Handgun USB Drive

Nothing is quite as cold as the possession of a flash drive gun. Of course you can not take in most places, because they can trigger the feeling. At least you will look so difficult. Jet Black with your drive, I bet you save only the most difficult of your data on the drive. I have no idea what kind of information would be called difficult, but I bet you understand.

The disc itself will not shoot anyone, but you could slide into the world of stupid criminals. Even hidden in the handle is where you find the USB port, you need to. During a walk, you can up to 4 GB of photographs and documents. That gives plenty of space, especially for the price you pay for. The trip will cost you only $ 22 USB geek.
