Turtle USB Hub

2010-07-23T06:47:00.000-07:00

Another cool gadget today folks! This turtle-looking like device is actually an USB Hub, he has one for each of his legs (yes that would be 4). But wait, there's more. Flip his shell and you'll find a little storage space, looks like an ashtray, but you can put a lot of tiny stuff there, the kind of stuff that usually gets lost: coins, keys, a chopstick and so on.
He looks so squishy, it's impossible not to like :)
And of course, the famous:

Barbie Spy Gadget

2010-07-14T16:01:00.000-07:00

Well, not really a spy gadget but it could easily be used as one. I'm talking about the new Barbie Doll. Wait, what? Yes, it is a Barbie doll. This doll has a video camera incorporated and disguised as a necklace - very well disguised I may add. In the back of the doll you'll find a small LCD monitor, where you can watch your videos. You'll also get and USB cable of course, plus a video editing software. The doll can record up to 25 minutes of footage, enough to catch your cat eating the leftover pie, and thus proving to your entire family it wasn't you, it was Mittens all along.
Watch this awesome video for more information.

Car Security System with Fingerprint

2010-07-09T12:26:00.000-07:00

At first I thought "Cool, what James Bond movie is this from?". Well folks, it's no movie - this is a piece of technology that's available to everyone. Forget about thieves and worries that your car will be stolen: this gadget scans your fingerprint and only you (or the ones you've authorized) get to start your car's engine. You lost your car keys? Not to worry, the keys become useless in the wrong hands (and I mean that literally).
Plus, this device also functions as a car alarm system, sending you text messages whenever someone tries to force themselves into your car - you just have to install a GSM SIM card into it. Sounds so cool I almost can't believe it.

Now here's what I call a "big boys" toy. If you're not an actual race car pilot, this is the closest you'll get to being one. This is a nitro-fuel powered race car, it has a perfect, aerodynamic design, and an internal combustion engine :D It's really awesome and I've been wanting to get one of these for so long. Here's where you can buy one, if you're ready for the excitement: 1:8 Scale Nitro Race Car With Pistol Grip Remote Control (220)

Picnic Cooler on Wheels

2009-11-23T09:27:00.001-08:00

This is more like an in- car gadget so to speak :)
Useful when you go camping or picnic with family or friends. It has a whooping 36 can capacity, waterproof lining and of course therm insulation. If you're aiming for a perfect picnic, you should also know that you can safely carry plates, glasses, as well as knifes, forks and spoons.

Key chain digital video recorder

2009-11-18T02:08:00.000-08:00

The manufacturers of this tiny gadget made a great job. Not only you can take high quality photos , but you can record as well (high resolution). The key chain looks realistic enough so no one will notice if you try to use it in an unorthodox manner :)
The video below explains how it works :

Car microwave

2009-11-15T10:43:00.000-08:00

I don't know what's the next car gadget that can surprise me :)
Until then... i present you the car microwave !
I cannot estimate it's dimensions, I'm thinking it's very small. Great for popping corn or just reheat coffee or tea. It is powered by the 12V cigarette lighter socket (d`oh). I found it available for purchasing at around $100.
Neat !

AiDA - the robotic friend

2009-11-14T03:23:00.000-08:00

The Affective Intelligent Agent Driving (AIDA) will inform you about the best route home and based on traffic reports, it will tell you when to fuel and even suggests places to visit.

The robot, which will either stay on board, or be integrated in some models, is developed by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in cooperation with Volkswagen.

AIDA communicates with the driver by using a display and will try, for example, to smile when he sees that you are angry.

Cynthia Breazeal, director of MIT's Personal Robots Group, said: "AIDA is able to determine the facial expressions of the driver and other clues, and will respond in an appropriate way. AIDA analyzes the routes the driver uses, and points of departure and destination. The creators believe that the robot could propose solutions after a week of "learning" and suggest routes that avoid roads blocked by traffic.

Come to think of it, he's cute also :)

Seatbelt adjuster

2009-10-22T11:16:00.000-07:00

Looks like someone already though of this gadget. It basically improves the feeling of wearing seatbelt. By the way, do you wear it ? Or the legislation in your country makes it indispensable ? :)
You should wear it, you never know what might happen.

Now, back to this little car gadget.

The system is simple: it stops the seatbelt From rubbing against your neck. Pretty neet, huh ? Although i don't know if it can please the non-wearing drivers. Once you get used not to wear the seatbelt, there is a small chance to wear it again. Unless your wife asks you to :)

Concept gym car

2009-10-21T00:08:00.000-07:00

Da Feng, a graduate of the British Faculty, created the concept Gym Car. It is powered by an electric motor that takes energy from one set of lithium-ion batteries. What is really unique is the way the batteries are loaded.

The driver must make physical exercises in order to generate enough energy to recharge the batteries. The designer has been able to combine a range of fitness equipment in the vehicle. It includes a stepper, a rowing machine, a device for pushing the chest and even a simulation of traction.
This gym on wheels uses only the steering wheel, pedals and seat as an apparatus and the mechanical energy generated by their movement is converted into electricity to recharge the batteries thus propelling the vehicle. The model's exterior has common features with both Formula 1 car and the fighter airplanes.

It is unclear if you can exercise while driving, or if you need to recharge the batteries while standing and then drive. The designer did not give many details of his project, which is probably just a design exercise.

Electronic assistant ?

2009-10-20T23:47:00.000-07:00

Starting from the idea of title, an Israeli company has developed a complete system that helps the driver and prevents him from being careless.
It can even take control of the car if its driver does not react to alarm signals.

Equipment is out of the test phase and will be available next year.

Any driver knows that a second of inattention can cost a life. That is why Israeli inventors found a solution that "to fix" human imperfections.
The camera "reads" the immediate environment surrounding. The image reaches a processor that continuously evaluates the risk and displays on a screen all potential "barriers" and the distance to each other.

The system makes the difference between cars and pedestrians at a distance of 35 meters and emits a high sound within a few seconds before a possible collision. The driver has the possibility to avoid the accident. If he does not react immediately, the electronic assistant can order the car to brake.

The system will be launched next year and the price is not even that high: about $ 1,000.

Deadly race

2009-10-20T10:03:00.000-07:00

Not so deadly actually :)
Use mouse for steering, collect armor and shoot bad guys. hf

Travel pillow

2009-10-20T09:42:00.000-07:00

I don't know if you use your car for driving to work and back home, or going camping, or.. if you are a driver, like long distance driving. If you are, you must know about travel pillows.
I see a dozen of manufacturers, all bragging about how warm and fuzzy and neck tension releasing their pillows are. And i believe them. Occasionally i drive for 3, 4 hours and my neck hurts, and my ass also :) Most new cars have already implemented this kind of car gadget, hours and hours of testing really paid off in some cases.
Bon voyage !

Parking sensors

2009-10-18T13:29:00.000-07:00

Interesting, but not surprisingly, 60% of buyers are women.
The most cautious drivers choose a system with four sensors and display in the rear view mirror. The only systems that ensure a carefree parking have more than three sensors, otherwise the car's back is not completely covered. Easy to install, no need to replace rear-view mirror and have a minimum limit of detection distance of 30 cm. A number of aftermarket products are especially attractive to those who value convenience and comfort.
Hmm, i don't have parking sensors on my car and i don't want to install them either. But if i imagine myself when i started driving, back then i would of really appreciated some sensors to make my parking perfect. Come to think of it, i hit another car in the parking lot one night, because my windows were smoky due to temperature. So, a small investment can go a long way.

Real batmobile ? w00t

2009-10-14T13:38:00.000-07:00

I came across an article slightly related to the blog, but it's something i have to share with you :)
Can you believe this is Lincoln Continental from 1973?

It has been modified to look like a batmobile by a rich swedish car fan.
I have to say it looks really cool, even real (if i can call something from the movies real). Oh, i forgot to say it took over 3 years to build, and the total cost is around 1 milion $ .

Below you can see a little video with the car.
