 The solowheel's battery made by MIT

Advantage:

  • At 24 lbs the Solowheel was designed to be lightweight and convenient. You can bring it into offices, classrooms, restaurants, buses and subway trains. The built-in carrying handle makes it convenient to quickly pick up the Solowheel when you get to a flight of stairs. With the foot pedals folded up, it takes up no more space than a briefcase when you stow it in your car or home.
  •  Use the Solowheel to replace a car for short distances. This reduces gas costs, pollution, and traffic. Riders with short commutes can travel to work or school on the Solowheel, charge the unit in the office or classroom, and then ride back home.
  • The Solowheel provides a convenient hands-free experience. Because you operate the Solowheel entirely by shifting your body weight and adjusting the angle of your feet and lower legs, you have both hands free to carry anything you need. Carry a cup of joe, pull a rolling suitcase, even open doors. Or just put your hands in your pockets to keep them warm.

MB&F Thunderbolt watch: Time in your hand



This is Amazing watch to experience a new way of time.The watch consists of two dials that sit side-by-side.  One displays the hours and minutes (read as a plane's speedometer), and the other displays the engine's power reserve (aka the plane's fuel levels).  Both dials are displayed at the end of a turbine like pod, opposite individual crowns.  This means one crown is for setting the time, the other is for winding the engine.
There are five unique pieces of sapphire glass on the HM4, and the main sapphire plate actually costs more than the entire engine of the HM2.  Think about that.  The engine itself is a marvel, taking over 3 years to develop, consisting of 311 parts, and converting power from a horizontal dual mainspring barrel to two vertically oriented gear trains to display on the dials.  No easy feat.
The HM4 will cost $158,000 when available later this year.

Liquid Image snow goggles : A best way to experience mountains

Liquid Image Snow Goggle is use to explore the mountains and hills.For winter sports enthusiasts, the Liquid Image Summit Series Ski Goggles are easy to use and offer a comfortable and convenient way to capture HD video while skiing, snowboarding, sledding, or snowmobiling.

Skiing offers great scenic views both on and off the mountain; but it isn’t always convenient to take out a digital camera to get a shot from the chairlift or while cruising down the slopes. The Liquid Image Summit Series HD 1080p Snow Goggle gives skiers the ease of shooting hands-free video and snapping photos on the go without even removing a glove (well, for the most part). The goggles feature a 135-degree wide-angle lens, a video camera that can shoot 720p resolution at 60fps and 1080p at 30fps, and a 5-megapixel camera for 12-megapixel interpolated digital stills

Design
  • The goggles come in both black and white and include two polarized lenses as well as a 4GB MicroSD card, and they allow for memory cards up to 32GB. Liquid Image states that for each extra 1GB of memory, the camera will hold at least an additional 1,000 photos or 30 minutes of video. There are compartments on either side of the goggles; the right side houses the battery and the left side is where the SD card and ports are located for charging or hooking the device up to a computer or television
  • On the left side of the lenses are two buttons, the bottom button turns the camera on or off, and the top button switches modes and captures images.  Above the nose, centered on the forehead, is the camera lens. Liquid Image states that the rechargeable lithium battery can last up to 1.5-2 hours in HD video mode, and it did not add any noticeable weight or bulk during testing. The liquid image summit goggles are compatible with a helmet, and they require a quick configuration with the included attachments.
  • There is an LED light inside the goggles that will light up different colors to let the user know what mode the camera is operating in without having to remove the goggles. It will light up green for recording at 1080p @30fps, blue for 720p @60 fps, red indicates still image photo mode, and purple represents the mode for continuous photos every two seconds. Users are able to flip between modes by pushing the buttons located on the outside of the goggles. If the user forgets the color for each mode, a small LCD screen is located on the inside of the goggles opposite of the camera. This LCD screen displays basic information such as if the battery is charged, if the SD card is loaded, what mode the camera is operating in, and how many files are on the SD card.
  • As ski goggles, they measured up to any standard goggles on the market. Liquid image also sells additional lenses online if the included orange and blue tinted polarized lenses do not suffice. The goggles are comfortable to wear on the face, but they might not fit well for anyone with a smaller noggin, since they extend a bit further out on the left and right compared to standard goggles, due to the two compartments to hold the battery and other ports.

A CAR CAN FLY ''PAL-V ONE''


PAL-V means Personal Air and Land Vehicle.In future it is very useful thing of  our life.The PAL-V in flight is a gyrocopter, with a pusher propeller at the rear of the fuselage providing forward thrust and a free-spinning rotor providing lift. Directional stability is provided by twin boom-mounted tailfins.It has a tricycle undercarriage with relatively large wheels.
On the ground, the propeller and rotor are stopped and power is diverted to the wheels, allowing it to travel as a three-wheeled car. Unusually, it leans into turns like a motorcycle, a solution pioneered by the carver vehicle, also produced by a Dutch company. However, the PAL-V does not tilt as a Carver but like the BMW "Simple Concept" from 2009
The PAL-V One has two seats and a 160 kW flight certified gasoline engine, giving it a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph) on land and in air, and a maximum take off weight of 910 kg.
