Volcanoes, in general, are pretty badass, even if they are on occasion responsible for natural disasters and awful movies. Thanks to the power of USB, you are now able to exhibit that sort of power on your desk with an authentic USB volcano. I guess technically it’s a submarine volcano, since it sits [...]

Because of a fire’s tendency to disrupt a building’s power supply, Firefighters often lack enough light to effectively douse the flames. To help fix this problem, Duck Image co.’s Aurora hose nozzle uses an internal turbine to power eight LED’s that light up and refract off of the stream of water. This not only illuminates [...]

I’m not entirely sure what the text on that picture says… Something about destroying France for the last time, I think. But who cares, it’s an R/C helicopter with a freakin’ BB cannon on it. The Falcon 4 channel electric helicopter (it’s modeled after the Apache) comes ready to fly out of the [...]

Technology and insects seem to mesh very well. There are so many gadgets out there that either resemble a bug or behave like one. Now car manufacturer Nissan is using bees for inspiration.
The Nissan Bumblebee is also known as the Biomimetic Car Robot Drive, or BR23C. The bumblebee car simulates a bee’s compound [...]

The “@” is a continuous line that winds around in a circle to create the symbol. Imagine a chair with the same feeling of the continuous looping in 3D form that allows us to sit comfortably while enjoying the design. Award winning Australian designer, Brodie Neill, uses his creative twist in design concepts to create [...]

Have you ever had a car which was so slow that you were convinced it was powered by a small rodent? While I doubt that there was actually a hamster under the hood of that old Geo, this plastic vehicle is strictly critter-powered.
The Critter Cruiser  and Hamtrack are, as you would imagine a [...]

I’m lazy when it comes to shaving. I’ll go sometimes a week without even bothering to trim my facial hair. When I do get around to it, I spend just a few minutes with an electric razor and am done with it. Sure, I could probably get better results if I actually took [...]

Whenever you have cohabited a place with someone, it doesn’t matter whether they are a significant other or roommate, packing up house can get to be a little confusing - especially if you are doing it at separate times. These stickers, allow you to claim those things that you rightfully own and hopefully help to [...]

As an amateur photographer I know how hard it is to get that perfect picture. Countless times, over the years, I’ve ended up with the perfect shot only to have it spoiled by one small detail that if removed, would enhance the photo a great deal.
I’ve not had to remove Uncle Bob (who’s now [...]

This is an interesting concept from a final year design student by the name of Tim Brown. He ships boxes that are actually empty, when they are turned inside out, broken down and rebuilt according to the instructions on the box, they become what the box was supposed to contain - mind bending stuff huh? [...]

This thing probably won’t find its way into too many homes, as I am guessing the powerdomeVELVET will be sold almost exclusively to professional plane’arium operations, but if you were to have a big domed room in your house and enough disposable income to balance the trade deficit of a small country - then it [...]

I only say “working” because this does not work in the same sense that a traditional V8 works - from the controlled explosion of gasoline. This runs on batteries and is made out of Lego Technics, which doesn’t make it any less impressive. In fact it is right up there with the papercraft V12 we [...]

Everyone has an email address these days. Most of us spend more time dealing with emails then on any other website. So the poll question for today is How Do You Check Your Email? Do you check it online or do you use a desktop client such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird?
Since most [...]

If you miss the good old days of coin operated phone booths, you might like Jethro Macey’s Coin Lamp. Powered by its greed for loose change, the light forces our awareness of power consumption through personal expense and discourages our appetite for kilowatt hours. That being said, I can easily see this lamp becoming a [...]
