Water Jetpack latest in Aqua fun?

by Mark R - on January 30, 2009

See this man in this blurry photo? He is defying gravity with a jetpack, but not the type that we normally think of when we think of the word jetpack. The fact is that most of the jetpacks that we see can only sustain a few minutes worth of flight time and are very dangerous.

Someone has invented a water jetpack that is safe, fun, and the flights last a lot longer. You can see it in action on the YouTube video after the jump.

Of course, there are some limits to the height of the Water Jetpack. As you can see, the man is tethered to a pump that is the source of the gravity-defying water pressure. There also seems to be some sort of boat thing behind him, and I’m not certain if he is controlling it, or if its just being dragged.

The Pocket Telescope/Microscope

by Ally - on January 30, 2009

If you’re a major science geek and have finally come to the point when you want to get out of the lab, you might want this Pocket Telescope/Microscope.  Then when you’re out roaming the world, if you happen to come across anything tiny and interesting, you’ll always have your microscope handy.  It will also be great for when you’re star gazing, but don’t want to have to drag out the full telescope.  Sometimes it’s better to keep things minimal.

Ketai H001 Mobile 3D Content

by Mark R - on January 30, 2009

I guess if you really wanted 3D content on your cellular phone, you could probably load a digital copy of some movie that was originally done in 3D, like Spy Kids 3D or Shark Boy and Lava Girl.

You could also get the Ketai H001, which has a 3.1-inch 3D screen. Now I’m sure you’re wondering if there is 3D content that is ready to go, and the answer to that is probably “no”. I doubt you can get Captain EO, and even if you could, would you want to?

I’m guessing you are going to need some glasses to view this, and you’re not going to look very cool in public. Perhaps Japan has a different idea of what is cool, because this is probably the only place you can buy one of these.

The Pencil iPhone Stand

The Pencil iPhone Stand

I wanted to watch a video on my iPhone yesterday, whilst doing some work on my PC, but not matter what I tried to prop the iPhone up I couldn’t get it at the right angle to watch the video.

Taking inspiration from the well know iPhone Bulldog clip stand but not having any bulldog clips to hand. I fashioned together a landscape iPhone stand using 5 pencils and elastic bands.

WowBacon Cooker - Broil Bacon In Your Microwave

WowBacon Cooker – Broil Bacon In Your Microwave

We make bacon just about every weekend for the kids, and we always have a little sample as well. It’s always a mess with our current microwave setup, and the WowBacon Cooker looks to make bacon easier and with less cleanup. It’s small, takes up little space but no bacon cooker can make bacon faster. You can broil a pound of regular or thick cut bacon in less than 10 minutes (we typically do 2 – 5-6 minute runs). Check out the video for more details, but this looks to be the real deal on bacon in the microwave.

The Lighter DVR for spies in training

by Ally - on January 29, 2009

If you’ve ever had a wish to become a super secret spy, then you’ll need this lighter to help you capture all of those super secret spy moments.  Yes, I’m sure there are so many moments that come to mind, that you wish you’d have had a lighter with a hidden video camera and microphone.  Be it when your boss or spouse says to do something, then later claims they never said that or just when you know that the person’s words are going to come back and bite them in the rear.   You will be the one to capture it all and they’ll never know how.

i2i Folding Portable Speakers

by Mark R - on January 29, 2009

For those of you who haven’t heard of Aerielle, they put out some very high quality MP3 Accessories like the i2i Stream. I was highly impressed with one of their newest products, the i2i Folding Portable Speakers.

As you can see from the picture, the Speakers have a little station in the middle where the user can place his or her MP3 Player. The speakers can be pulled out a little more, and an iPod classic is perfectly sized to fit in there. It’s too bad Aerielle didn’t make this thing an iPod dock, but perhaps that is for a future time.

No, you can’t power your iPod on this guy, because it requires 4 AAA batteries to power itself up. An on and off switch is located in back for conserving power, as it only has five hours of it with the batteries.

The Grid Tag USB Drive

by Ally - on January 29, 2009

Here’s another great USB drive that’s perfect for those that have a tendency to lose their USB drive.  With flash drives being so small and only getting smaller, it’s understandable that some people lose theirs on occasion.  Even those that are great about keeping track of their things, have their hectic days where the little things turn up missing.  With these USB drives, they’d stay attached to your book bag or belt and it’d never again be far from where you need it.
