Air Purifier uses plants to clear the air

This is the coolest thing, i gotta have one.

1971. Apollo 13 almost didn’t make it back home. We’ve all seen the movie. But it wasn’t the explosion that nearly killed the astronauts, it was rising levels of CO2 which would kill them within hours. They had plenty of oxygen, but the filters that scrubbed the atmosphere in the lunar model (now a lifeboat) were quickly becoming saturated and the filters in the dead command module wouldn’t fit. So, NASA Engineers had to quickly find a way to make a square peg literally fit into around hole. Now, why am I tell you all this? Glad you asked. NASA learned their lesson and based upon that exerperience came the Bel-Air Air Purification System which uses plants to clean the air. Here’s how it works.

In a design that looks like a cross between a planter and filter helmet, the Bel-Air bathes the plants in a humid, self contained chamber. Dirty air is pumped through it and the plant itself scrubs the air clean of carbon dioxide and danger chemicals like benzene and formaldehyde. The result is plain old fresh air thanks to Photosynthesis (it’s not just a good idea, it’s the law).
Although the Bel-Air Purification system is currently only a prototype, the designer, Mathieu Lehanneur hopes to bring it to the home air purification market by 2009. Meanwhile, beginning this January, visitors to the New York Museum of Modern Art can check it out as part of the Design and the Elastic Mind exhibition.

Hand cranked MP3 player means you’ll never be without tunes

How many times has your MP3 player died on you while you were rocking out far from home? I’m sure it’s happened at least a few times, and depending on your MP3 player, you were probably out of luck until you got home to recharge it. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just turn a hand crank a few times and have it charged again?

I’m actually not really sure what I think of this, at least for me. I have a fancy iPod Touch, so something like this would be a bit basic for me. However, if you need only a basic player with 1GB of storage, this might be perfect for you. If you’re the kind of person that really cares about your impact on the environment, you’ll really love it, since it is powered solely by the hand crank. At about $60 each, they really aren’t that much more expensive than a 1GB iPod Shuffle.

This Tea Picked By A Bunch Of Monkeys

There is a legend that says that over ten centuries ago, upon seeing his master pick tea leaves, a monkey climbed up and collected the leaves and brought them down for his master. Whether it be legend or simply a cheaper form of labor, the story has turned into a rare product that you can purchase and enjoy.

Monkey Picked Tea is a rare tea that is carefully picked by specially trained monkeys in a remote mountain region of China. It is claimed that none of the monkeys are mistreated or harmed in this process. They say that the monkeys are treated as respected members of their family. A quote from ThinkGeek:

“The legendary flavor is something that can only be tasted to be believed. Monkey Picked Tea is truly in a class by itself. Full of antioxidants, this tea will calm your soul, temper your spirit, and put you in divine touch with your monkey ancestors.”

You can swing on over to ThinkGeek to buy a bag (aproximately 28 servings) for $24.99.

But i still think it would be worth it.

Radio Controlled Fish Locating Radar Boat

Is this the ultimate fishing gadget?

As any fisherman will know, one of the primary keys to landing a successful catch is knowing where the fish actually are and now, thanks to this extremely cool radio controlled radar enabled fishing gadget, you can call on technology to lend a helping hand.

Coming complete with a handheld controller featuring a 5.7 inch LCD radar display, and an endurance of 1.5 hours (on continuous power), this radio controlled fishing boat will help you locate the fish using its onboard radar unit (as well as reporting a host of supplementary information such as exact its co-ordinates, the water temperature and present water depth) and, once the fish are found, the one meter long vessel (yes you read that right) can release its fishing line via a rod attached to the back thus ensuring that the bait is delivered with complete precision into the target area.

Survival Gadgets – The Telescopic Pen Fishing Rod

You never know when you might have to depend on your survival instincts. It could be that you car has broken down in the middle of nowhere only for you to find that your mobile battery has long since expired. As a consequence, you’re nothing more than a silhouette cast against the sunset, resting against the bonnet of your car wondering whether your fate is to starve to death in a place with no name.

Or at least that could have been the case were it not for the fact that you’re carrying a telescopic fishing rod that looks like a pen and there just happens to be a river near by teaming with fish. At least you won’t be going hungry tonight.

This cool survival gadget is manufactured from aluminium alloy and extends telescopically from an 8” pen to become a 4ft (1.5m) fishing rod that is capable of landing a fish of up to an impressive 5lb (1.5kg) in weight thanks to the snap on reel offering freewheel casting.

The Telescopic Pen Fishing Rod comes in two flavours, the above detailed version (which comes as a boxed set) or a basic version retailing at £39.95 and £24.95 respectively (approximately $80 / $50 at the time of writing).

Of course, if you’re a true geek you’ll have no need of this particular gadget on account of the fact that you’ll probably have this Radio Controlled Fish Locating Radar Boat stored in the boot just in case of such emergencies.

SLP2 Survival Tool

Here’s a very handy gadget to have around if you’re camping or plan to be stranded in the middle of the forest for some reason. This survival tool features not only a very powerful blade, but a couple of other neat features which are not commonly seen on these kinds of gadgets.

First of all the blade is a top quality, Swedish designed blade. Half of the blade is even, while the other half is serrated so you don’t need to have one tool for sawing action and another tool for cutting action.

On the back of the blade is probably the most amazing thing about the tool. When the included fire starter is rubbed along the back side of the blade, it produces are large shower of sparks to light a fire even in wet conditions.
It would be incredibly easy to start a fire this way considering the sparks created reach 3,000°C! I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t want to have your fingers on the wrong side of that! With the sparks you can easily light stoves, barbeques and even start your own fire from dry grass or bark. The fire starter is also good for up to 3000 strikes so you’ll probably never need to replace it.

Also included is a powerful flashlight so you can have light no matter where you are. They run on 4 tiny button cell batteries so you don’t have any big batteries taking up room. It’s also completely water proof so you don’t need to worry about it getting wet. As well there is an emergency whistle built into the bottom of the tool just in case.

This handy wilderness gadget is available for £34.99

ATAX: Tool Which Does Almost Everything

This is the tool you need when you get lost in the woods. The ATAX looks like a simple hand-axe, but clever design builds in a huge range of features.

First, you can lash it to a stick to turn it into a real axe. It'll turn bolts, convert into a small bow for killing game, the carbon steel blade will let you skin and butcher the animal and a fire-bow bearing means you can build a fire and cook it. Quote: "There goes the skin... Just like it had a zipper."

Laser etched graphics on the side of the tool allow it to be used as a sun dial, compass, inclinometer and rangefinder. The ATAX isn't cheap, at around $100-$160, but it's 100% awesome.

The TankChair

While some people are please with a simple and normal wheelchair, there are others that think in the future and bring us something really cool, like the TankChair.

The special kind of wheelchair is made to withstand traveling in “hard” terrains, like snow, sand, streams, and bumps. In case you are wondering, it was specifically made for a “designer’s disabled wife” that enjoys the outdoors.

This latest version has some upgrades when comparing to the original, such as a better chassis, a chair with a lot of padding, so you don’t feel the bumps, and more.

Vehicle Safeguard Video Recording Camera

Special Report! Safeguard your vehicle today. Video recording of driving conditions can help make life easier in the unfortunate event of an accident

As you sit there and read the beginning of this report you start to sense the importance of protecting yourself and your family. Accidents can happen at any time, without notice. As is often the case after an accident, we are disoriented and don't always remember everything just prior to the impact. Law enforcement uses what you say immediately following an accident to assess fault that could adversely affect your financial well being. Sometimes, we don't clearly remember the conditions of the road, weather, and traffic immediately following an accident. The Vehicle Safeguard will help solve that problem.

Record the conditions of the road, weather, and traffic directly from your dashboard. Supply objective and direct evidence to insurance companies and law enforcement if needed. Protect your family with objective evidence. The Vehicle Safeguard will supply you with peace of mind as you navigate your way through streets and highways.

Installation is a snap. You will have your vehicle monitored in minutes. The Vehicle Safeguard even has two power options: 12V DC power through the cigarette lighter or four AAA batteries. Secure the cradle to the dashboard and place the main recording unit inside the cradle. Use anywhere from a 128MB to 2GB SD card to store the recordings. Finally, you will need to set the recording angle. A red spot light will shine in the direction of the recording, at the center of the recording. Adjust the angle of the camera with the cradle. That's it!

Now that you have the Vehicle Safeguard installed in just minutes, your road trips will have a certain peace of mind never before experienced. Video is recorded in AVI format, which is compatible with any PC. The best part is that the next scenic drive you take can also be captured on video. Not only do you get to experience safety while driving, but you also get to relive those scenic drives you take through the valleys on the way to your favorite getaway.

Follow the step-by-step instructions and your living room will be the envy of all others. Flying debris and cows not included, we are afraid. How to build a tornado machine

Waterproof iPod Shuffle

We’re not talking some fancy rubber case to wrap around your iPod. SwimMan actually disassembles genuine iPod Shuffles and reassembles them using “proprietary waterproofing technology”. Neat. You can snag waterproof headphones from them too. What - no photo? C’mon, you know what an iPod Shuffle looks like!

Casio Pathfinder Watch

Plan on climbing Everest? With Casio’s Pathfinder watch, you can lug the rest of the crap on this list around and still know what time it is and how freakin’ cold it is at the top. This beast sports an altimeter, thermometer, compass, barometer, auto-setting atomic clock functionality, tide graph, depth gauge, and dive log. Oh and it’s solar powered. Is it really still considered a watch at this point?

GPS Photo Tagger

Serious traveler/photographers know what a pain in the ass it can be to keep track of where each and every one of their photos were taken. You could keep a running diary of every shot, but who needs that hassle? Enter the Sony GPSCS1KA GPS Unit Kit. All you need to do to use it is turn it on and carry it with you. It takes a snapshot of your location at fifteen second intervals. Back home, the included software checks the EXIF data from each photo and matches it to where you were at that point in time.

Wind Up Cell Phone Charger

If you’re a long ways from home (and a power outlet), this little beauty will keep your cell phone juiced for as long as you have a working hand. Of course, the obvious question is: if you’re that far from civilization, are there likely to be cell towers near you? Just a thought.

Bottle Opener Sandals

Fancy yourself more of a hops fellah than a wino? The aforementioned Reef has outdone themselves by combining the classic staple of beach life - the sandal - with the classic staple of the beach life boozer - the bottle opener. Introducing the Fanning. Brilliant! Why didn’t someone think of this before?

Stash Sandals

Or if you’d rather your hostel-mates or the hotel chambermaid not think you’re a disgusting chap with a penchant for showing off your poo-laden unmentionables, Reef’s Stash sandals are just the trick. Although they’re technically marketed towards the ladies, they are offered in jet black. So if you’re a dude, no one has to know that you like to wear women’s shoes.

Turn Your Laptop Into a Travel Safe … Sort Of

The Stashcard hides cash, credit cards, and that picture of Fluffy you always take with you so you’re not lonely at the hotel.

The Only Travel Adapter You’ll Ever Need

150-Country Auto-Detecting Travel Adapter And Converter. Not the catchiest product name, but we can’t all afford big budget marketing departments. Hammacher Schlemmer describes it as “the lightweight, compact device that automatically detects incoming voltage, converts it to 120-volt AC power, and provides plug adaptation for over 150 countries throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas and Caribbean, and Australia.” You’re out of luck in Antarctica I guess, but I don’t think they have electricity down there anyway. At least now you don’t have to carry around 150 adapters like you used to, right? Also: “The plug configures to fit a variety of international sockets, and it has a built-in USB port that allows you to leave chargers for cell phones, digital cameras, iPod®s, and other devices at home. The device allows simultaneous AC and USB connection to charge two devices at once.” Very cool.

Mission Impossible-Style Banking

Online banking over unsecured wireless networks is sketchy to say the least. Who knows whether that shady guy sitting next to you in the pleather jacket with his laptop and a Ron Burgundy mustache isn’t sniffing the 802g airwaves for your web passwords? Get the ultimate in password security with ETrade’s SecurID® Two-Factor Authentication token. It uses strong authentication by generating a random password every 60 seconds. Tom Cruise would be proud.

Indestructible Travel Cases

Checking your crackberry or updating weekly travel expenses on your Treo while scuba diving is easier than ever before with the waterproof and crushproof Pelican Micro Case Series of cases. There’s even a purge valve to equalize the pressure!

Laser Virtual Keyboard

Relieve your hands of the stress of constantly pushing down heavy keyboard keys with a Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard. This thing is Minority Report cool, but without Tom Cruise’s crazy antics and all that 1984-style big-government-gettin’-up-in-your-piece nonsense.

A Hammock for Your ‘lectronics

It’s tough to tell from their German language website, but this 2001: A Space Odyssey-esque device is, as Gadling puts it, “a hammock to keep your small electronics from falling to their death while hanging from oddly-placed outlets.” I can honestly say I’ve never been in such a situation, but I like to be prepared.
