Looks like developed nations are finding a new kind of personal transport to be the possible next big thing, as large cities get more and more clogged up with traffic in their roads, compact urban transport inventions are the way to go. While the skateboard and rollerblades have long been a staple mode of “green” transport, technological innovations have resulted in electric powered versions already, with mini-scooters powered by electricity getting all the more popular. The latest of such transports is known as the Easyglider, and that could possibly eat into Segway’s market share should it take off. This external electric drive wheel allows you to tarry along at a steady 20 km/h as long as you’re with your pair of rollerblades, skateboard, or a connected wheel platform.

It sure takes a whole lot of guts to be part of the riot police as you have to keep the mob at bay without causing serious injury in the process. Thankfully, there have been inventions that make this job easier, and this flashlight is the latest in a long line. Capable of inducing nausea at whoever it flashes at, this works great when you want to disable a target from a safe distance. It utilizes a range finder to measure the distance to the target’s eyes, adjusting the energy level of the light to a level that won’t cause permanent damage followed by shooting pulses of light rapidly from an array of ultrabright LEDs to incapacitate a person. Sounds a whole lot less painful that a water cannon.
