Virtual Potters Wheel

As far as I can remember back, I don’t think we have ever covered the subject of pottery here at gadgetvenue. So, here we have perhaps the worlds first pottery gadget that uses 3D technology with an old art.

The device consists of a 3D scanner that tracks movement of your hands. The 3D scanner part is referred to as a Virtual wheel. This technology is combined with a 3D printer that converts ceramic powder in to a solid form and then cools it down.

So, you create your virtual potter subject and once done, you send it to print and it gets built for you as you designed it. [Read more…]

Wheelman takes you Surfing, Boarding and Skating

Wheelman
Wheelman is a great two wheeler skating type device which features a mini 43cc 2 stroke engine on board which can take you up to speeds of 19mph. You attach your feet to the wheels and speed away for about 90 minutes on one tank of fuel. There is no automatic fuel pump and this part of the engine is fuelled by squeezing a pneumatic ball in your hand. Steering is done by leaning the direction you want to head.

Although it is not a brand new gadget device, it is still new to me which made me figure it will be new to a lot of you 🙂

Solar Wheeled Bike – The E-V Sunny

sunnybikeev
This bike sports some shiny solar panels on the wheels which are responsible for powering this beauty. The solar panels can power a 500 watt motor as well as charge the batteries. It seems like you need to let the bike stand for a bit before using the power so that the batteries can get a good charge and get this thing running at 19MPH. One downside is that it weighs a hefty 75 pounds which cannot be good if you are working your way up a hill and need more sunlight to get you to the top.

Another problem I see if the wheels. No doubt a hefty side wind is going to whip you right off this thing if you are not careful. Just take care as it will cost you $1295 to buy a new one should you damage it. The alternative option is the conversion kit for $800.

WheelSurf


This crazy thing is called the WheelSurf which is a large wheel you sit in and roll around. There is no steering or braking and it works on gravity. Just find a hill and you are rolling. The video is quite funny towards the end when one of them kind of wipes out.
