bricks made of air!


OK, I know its not a gadget, but it so cool. Second is not completely made of air only about 95%. This marvel is called aerogel, made from silicone, it can carry 2000 times its own weight(never proven) and it is a incredible insulation. Unlike its name applies, it does not feel like a gel, but more like rigid foam. But why is this stuff important? Well, hopefully we can one day use it for insulation in house because it is biodegradable. Bad news is one brick cost about $1000.

Note to readers: I'm running out of gadgets to wright about. send me a email or comment and I'll get to writing about it.

Police with flying cameras?


Police may soon be able to use flying cameras. Aeryon Lab's president Dave Kroetsch says his company(based in Canada) has built a two pound robot that can be controlled as easy as using Google Maps. The robot comes in a pack the size of a suit case and can easily be setup in the field. It can fly for 20 minutes in 30 mph winds and can reach a height of 500 feet. Bad news is one cost 50,000 dollars. It is still waiting approval for US police departments.

Ztamps


These little things dont look cool, but trust me, when you get them working they are awsome. You program them on violet.net and then stick them to an object. And then with a nabaztag rabbit or mir:ror you can read it, you could make an umbrella tell you the weather, or let a pair of keys send an email to your parents when you get home. I think it should get a 10 out of 10 because of all things it could do. But i could be wrong, if you think so email me at the address on my profile.

The Thrid Eye Camera



Ever wanted to record something but couldn't use your hands, or just to lazy to setup a tripod? Well this gadget is just right for you! This gadget fits in to a headband or can just be held in the hand. Here's the description from
hammacher.com.
"Smaller than a golf ball, this ultralight spherical video camera attaches to a headband, providing a third eye while biking, hiking, or during other activities. The camera's sensor captures images at 320 x 240 resolution at 30 fps (the built-in microphone records audio). Up to 1,200 still images and six hours of video can be saved onto the included 8GB micro SD memory card."
I give it a 8 out of 10 because of it's uniqueness.
