A cool hovercraft named the hoverwing has been created by a bloke named Rudy Heeman in New Zealand. This hoverwing is a hovercraft with wings attached which allow it to fly over 6 feed above the water. It takes off at top speed which is 60MPH. It has taken a long time to perfect and looks quite fun to fly although in the making he was injured although this didn’t stop Rudy from continuing on. There is space for 1 passenger. Would you fly with Rusy on the hoverwing?

Out of all the hacks I could possibly think up of on my own, the HP LaserJet screen hack wouldn’t be one of them. A guy over at Kovaya has successfully hacked the little dot matrix display on a laser jet printer to display any message you want such as Insert Coin. On the larger printers with a larger screen he also managed to write some code to send weather reports that automatically update every 10 minutes. The weird thing is that nobody really notices and although some read, they didn’t question why a printer was doing weather reports on it’s screen.

We see a ton of different case mods here at Gadget Venue and we can see that many people spend hours carving away at their computer cases and making them in to the next Half Life or Digg style. The idea of this mod was to drop the case completely and just dangle the parts from cat5 cables and a couple of hangers. The idea is weird but cool and makes for some amazing cooling as the surrounding air can just absorb the heat.

For around $30 you can build yourself a remote control deadbolt which comes in handy for a house door, garage door or shed door. It uses an X10 automation controller mixed with some solenoids and a metal bar. When you want to keep people out, just hit the button and you are locked in and safe. All I recommend now is that you wire up the bedroom lights to flash a couple of times and for the alarm to chirp as you hit the lock button when leaving your home.

By using 4 AA batteries, 1 CD, an empty Pepsi can, a playing card, tape roll and a dime you can make some kind of funky levitation device. From the information I can find, it uses discoveries found by John Hutchinson and the Casimir effect which according to sources, is related to resonance and physical forces between objects. I’m not even going to try understand all that as it isn’t the point of this post. Anyway, check out the video below and see the playing card and dime levitate before your eyes. If anyone can make on of these then feel free to post a video and I will post it here.
