When mounted on your bedroom wall (although we recommend hooking it up to the ceiling as it gives a much more authentic experience), you will be able to control the different phases of the moon. Alternatively, those who prefer to let nature run its course can just leave it on automatic, and see the entire dozen stages dance across the ceiling slowly but surely.

EaglePicher Medical Power has dropped an announcement that they are currently working on an implantable-grade medical battery that is set to be the smallest in the world, being up to 50% smaller and lighter than any commercially available products at the moment.

Here’s a device that will definitely take your mind off stress at work, offering a brief respite from those Monday morning blues by letting your fingers do the dancing instead.

We’ve had a few flashlight and shocking gadgets recently, this latest gadget combines the two, the Stun Gun Flashlight.

This multi function gadget provides light to dark places, a personal alarm, a menacing 150 kV electric stun gun and if the batteries run out I suppose you could use it as a club.

The EV-X7 is a new kind of electric motorcycle which has a top speed of 90mph (maybe even a 100 down a very steep hill) and a range of up to 110 miles off a 6 hour charge.

The improved performance is put down to new type of motor that is both lighter and more efficient and appropriately called the Sumo hybrid (have you ever heard of a lite sumo?). The manufacturers Axle are planning a mini version of the EV-X7 later this year for under £1,000 which sounds promising.

Mmmmm Pizza! This is a great idea for blokes that don’t know how to use an oven but still want the holy challis of junk food, the Pizza. The pizza oven has only one purpose and that’s to cook big circular heavenly pizzas.

You can get the pizza oven from nodaya-net (Japanese) for ~$70, found via TokyoMango thanks Lisa.
