Siemens Road Sign Reader

October 19, 2006 by Leave a Comment

This new technology from Siemens looks interesting. It is designed for your car and has a camera built in which reads road signs, processes the image, displays the speed on your screen and tells you if you are over or under the spead limit for that particular road. It makes me wonder if it can detect the good old national speed limit signs here in the UK which can mean either 60 or 70 depending on what type of road you are on 🙂

Levitating Clock and Shuttle

September 11, 2006 by Leave a Comment

Things that levitate are cool 🙂 The levitating clock is no exception to this. It floats with the help of a magnetic field and tells the time also. With the help of a rotating mechanism it will also slowly rotate in the magnetic field also which provides even more entertainment.

To get it working you plug it in, hold the clock in the “sweet spot” and let go. If you get it right it will stay there and float around.

Daylight Projection Clock

September 7, 2006 by 2 Comments

Projection clocks are kind of ok but you really have to squint to be able to see the time. However, the Oregon Scientific Projection Clock is different. This clock’s projector is light sensative and can adjust accordingly to the various light levels that change through out the day. The clock looks quite cool and I wouldnt mind having this in the house. What ads more to it’s coolness is the ability to wave your hand at the sensor to change display settings and even turn off the alarm. That last part is not good for me though… I need the alarm to keep going 🙂

The REGEN is a battery less MP3 player. You are now asking… how does it get it’s power? Of course you use it as a yo-yo to give it the power you need to listen to MP3’s. It can store up to 200 songs on it’s harddrive and has a touch screen LCD which you can select your music to play.

Expect to have to yo-yo around 10 – 12 throws to get enough power to use the device. The headphones are bluetooth so there is no worries about your yo-yo pulling them out of your ears.
