A new parachute system known as the Gryphon has been designed by ESG Elektroniksystem- und Logistik-GmbH and Dräger (not sure how you’re meant to pronounce that). The Gryphon enables parachutists to fly through the air at high speed before opening their chutes, so they could be dropped miles away and fly to their intended targets.
Our friends over at The Gadget Store have noticed we have a small affection for the beautiful game (football to those that don’t know what I’m talking about) and have kindly donated a box full of England flags to give away to our readers.
So if you want a free St. Georges flag (3ft x 5ft or a car flag) leave a comment to this post saying what you like about gadgets and football. Make sure your leave a real email address (which we will never ever share) so that we can get a physical address to send the flag to. All flags will be given out on a first come first served basis.
Thanks again to The Gadget Store for this cool freebie.
This is one fun looking remote control humvee, not only can it drive around the ground in normal humvee brutish fashion it can also drive up walls!
I drove a hovercraft a couple of years ago on one of those team building adventure days and it was pretty darn cool. At the time I thought “I wonder where you buy hovercrafts from” well I found out by accident today, Hammacher.
When I first read about computers detecting when workers are dozing off on the job it felt a bit big brotherish (Which starts tonight, [sarcasm] great [/sarcasm]).
I remember when I worked in a bank and had to go into huge storage rooms to sort cheques, I was often woken up by my falling fowards. If a computer could of detected that I’d of been moaned at a lot more often. However in many occupations this sort of technology could be a real life saver.
I normally associate scooters with kids toys but the GoMotoboard is the sort of toy that us grown-ups will enjoy.
The latest model of the GoMotoboard electric scooter can travel 15 miles off one charge and has a top speed of 15mph which will feel pretty quick when your standing a couple of inches off the floor.
This model costs £450 but if your after a bargain you can get the previous version for 1/2 price (£175). More details here found via Stuff.
As many of you already know, the World Cup’s rapidly approaching and is very much on our thoughts. It’s interesting how football and gadgets have converged today with the simultaneous announcements that David Beckham has had two BMW X5 SUVs stolen using laptop computers, and that Toshiba are offering rebates to UK customers who have bought one of their laptops should England win the World Cup for the first time since 1966.
It may look more like a snorkel but this is a hands free kit for your mobile. The Iqua SNAKE is designed to slot between your car seat and headrest, it then communicates via bluetooth with your mobile whilst you communicate via your mouth and ears with your friends.
