Militaries New Toy

nateroe — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 01:27:39 +0000

This gigantic magnetic slingshot is just one of the many toys the military is able to spend millions of dollars of your tax money on. That’s nothing when you consider they are spending nearly a trillion of our income taxes each year. So just what is this? This is a satellite launch system that uses magnetic levitation to accelarate its payload around a gigantic ring. This would accelerate its payload to an amazing 21,600mph hypothetically allowing it to launch satellites, but if that’s what it’s truly for why’s the military so interested?

Portable Braille translator lets blind read print

Admin — Sat, 16 Dec 2006 19:42:18 +0000

Here’s a new concept with should raise some eyebrows. Despite having some really stupid concepts like the vacuum shoes, the new Braille reader called the “Bridge” is very interesting. This concept is designed to let blind people read text that’s not formatted in Braille. The idea is that you the portable reader over any text, which it then scans and translates into Braille on the top surface of the Bridge.

It doesn’t stop their, the Bridge will also have a built in hard drive which will save you readings, where you can then send to a computer.

This is a brillaint design, which doesn’t look too unrealistic. As a matter of fact, this design is already on the drawing boards.

Electrolux Vacuum Design Concept

Admin — Sat, 16 Dec 2006 19:16:21 +0000

Electrolux who creates everything involving vacuuming, has just released a new shoe vacuum design concept. There’s no word on who these actually work. I’d be interested to see how these store dirt, andÃ‚Â and produce suction.

The only problem with these is that you still need to walk around the house. Whats the point in making vacuum shoes when you can just walk around with an actually vacuum. So far i haven’t thought of a reason toÃ‚Â look further into these.
