SOLo is an intelligent lounge table that is designed to soak up solar power to charge your various electronic gadgets. Green technology is getting sexier as time goes by because scientist now knows that consumers are suckers for all things pretty. If they want to save the world, they are going to have to work around style before cause.
The Intelligent Form SOLo table can, after fully charge, be used to recharge your cellphones 6,800 times and your laptops 168 times. It’s got USB sockets, a car style 12V socket, and a standard 3-pin plug point. Of course, the table is also completely weatherproof so you can leave it out during rain or shine, if you wanted to.
To exemplify my views about consumers being suckers for all things pretty, the Intelligent Form Solo has LED inbuilt for subtle lighting effect that glows and it even comes equipped with a Bluetooth.
There is no word on the price yet. But I have a feeling this lounge table is going to cost a pretty penny.
Meiji combined fun and yum when they created a chocolate bar that resembles a tetris game. There are over 2339 ways of solving the puzzle and if you haven’t been stealing the pieces you’ll have endless fun sorting the pieces out. You can also go up a level with the white chocolate bars and dark chocolate bars.
When you live in a hole with no entertainment whatsoever, ingenuity comes to play. So you live in somewhere dry, sandy and you’re a thousand miles away from the sea or the nearest spa. What do you do?
Well, nothing like a little bit of QuickLime, water and a few containers to turn a huge tank of water into the perfect jacuzzi. Of course, Quicklime can burn you and strip your skin off if you’re not careful but there is nothing like a little precaution can’t handle.
This seems like something a baby born in the 80s would like. It’s a homage to those years where one game systems were cooler than sliced bread. Of course, now, you can just get a PSP or a DS and play multiple games from one hand held console but what’s the fun in that? The Tetris Gold game is $35 a pop.
A University of Nevada’s professor is looking into making the first fastest computers in the world that runs on infrared light than electricity. That said, they’re currently look to harvest the energy from terahertz radiation, which if successful will be the start of super computers/machines running on the speed of light.
“We have taken a first step to making circuits that can harness or guide terahertz radiation,” says Ajay Nahata, study leader and associate professor of electrical and computer engineering. “Eventually — in a minimum of 10 years — this will allow the development of superfast circuits, computers and communications.”
Electricity is carried through metal wires. Light used for communication is transmitted through fiberoptic cables and split into different colors or “channels” of information using devices called waveguides. In a study to be published April 18 in the online journal Optics Express, Nahata and colleagues report they designed stainless steel foil sheets with patterns of perforations that successfully served as wire-like waveguides to transmit, bend, split or combine terahertz radiation.
“A waveguide is something that allows you to transport electromagnetic radiation from one point to another point, or distribute it across a circuit,” Nahata says.
If terahertz radiation is to be used in computing and communication, it not only must be transmitted from one device to another, “but you have to process it,” he adds. “This is where terahertz circuits are important. The long-term goal is to develop capabilities to create circuits that run faster than modern-day electronic circuits so we can have faster computers and faster data transfer via the Internet.”
Nahata conducted the study with two doctoral students in electrical and computer engineering: Wenqi Zhu and Amit Agrawal.
This is a cleaning device that uses soundwaves to clean everything from perishables to non-perishables. It works on the theory of micro cavitation which looses dirt or contaminants from the surface of the object.
If this thing flies, we would never ever need water to clean ourselves anymore. Just stand in front of the megasonic gadget, an earplug and you’ll be bombastically cleaned. Btw, the Coway’s cleaning device gets a little loud if you’re too dirty - works on the same principle of mothers screeching when you walk on their carpet with muddy shoes.
