Haiku is a small detachable device that you need to put on the handlebar of your bike . It uses Bluetooth to connect to your phone and present you all the information you need, starting with directions. You need to put directions on your phone first in order to get them on Haiku’s deported screen. The device tells you when you need to turn with simple arrows. If you are riding the bike and get a phone call or a message then Haiku has a few color LEDs on the side which blink when you receive a...

The latest of such attempt is the Lumos helmet, which not only comes with turn signal indicators that can be controlled wirelessly, but also packs a brake light that comes on automaticall...

Bluesmart, the world's first smart, connected carry-On, is a suitcase that includes proximity tracking to alert you if you walk away from your luggage, a TSA-approved lock that's controlled by your smartphone and a built-in battery to charge your gadgets along with a host of other features. There's also a scale integrated into the handle that will tell you how much your bag weighs just by lifting it off the ground, and a quick-access compartment for storing your laptop. With an abundance of sens...

Gerwin Hoogendoorn, has recently introduced the Senz umbrella which can withstand winds of up to 62 miles per hour. With its aerodynamic shape that resists turning inside out, Senz umbrellas also come in different three sizes, the original, the XL and the mini. The unusual shape reminds one of a stealth fighter jet or perhaps something Batman might pull out if caught in a downpour. The XL storm-proof umbrella from Senz° with its striking silhouette is capable of withstanding winds of up...

A sugar–glass cartridge can store vaccines without refrigeration. Scientists at Nova Bio-Pharma Technologies and the University of Oxford have developed a new way of preserving vaccines without refrigeration by sealing the vaccine's live viruses inside glass made of sugar. Currently, vaccines need to be stored in a fridge or freezer which means there is a need for electricity supply and refrigeration trucks for distribution as exposure to inappropriate temperatures can reduce the vaccine p...

 Inventor Micheal Pritchard has found a solution for safe drinking water with a handheld water purification device that creates fresh water instantly. The LifeSaver bottle provides refreshing, germ free water anywhere. The bottle itself is designed to be uncomplicated and user friendly. This bottle consists of long lasting cartridges which help remove viruses and bacteria from contaminated water. One just needs to pump the products manually a few times and pristine drinking water will start t...

Biomimicry, the science that imitates nature to create new products, is the field responsible for new, airless, tubeless, tires that cannot go flat. Resilient Technologies, a Wisconsin based company, is behind this invention. The inspiration for the design of the tire was found in nature: the honeycomb. Instead of using a pressurized air cavity, the tire design relies on a geometric pattern of six-sided cells that are arranged in a matrix like a honeycomb. The tire has uniform flexibility ...

Lit Motors has cut their cars in half. Literally. Lit Motors has created a self-balancing, two-wheeled car that won one of Popular Science’s 2015 Invention Awards. “With fuel efficiency crucial to easing climate change, founder Daniel Kim believes that most commuters drive around in way too much auto—especially for daily activities like commuting and grocery shopping. Motorcycles make more sense for single-passenger trips, but they are more dangerous to operate than cars, expose riders to the...

Robots now have a variety of purposes through technological innovation, one of them being parking your car when you get to the airport. Germany-based Serva Transport Systems has created a robot, dubbed RAY, that takes the form of an automated forklift truck capable of picking up vehicles and moving them into pre-designated parking spots The machine is currently being used at Dusseldorf Airport and works with an app, requiring travelers to only drop their cars off in a designated area and c...

Floating bridges are in many ways an anomaly. One particularly exciting example was built by Waagner-Biro in Dubai. It is the first of its kind in the emirate and carries six lanes over the Dubai Creek. This pontoon bridge has a width of 2 x 22m and a total length of 365m. The challenge lies in balancing the shifts in height caused by waves and differing traffic loads. An independent bridge structure was built for each of the two traffic directions. Between the two 115m long concrete pontoons...

If you've ever stood exposed and shivering at the end of a run, you'll know just how quickly the body loses heat without protective clothing. To prevent this, aluminized plastic blankets are a common sight at the end of races; they insulate from cold air and reflect back the body's heat. But these blankets are impractical and uncomfortable for daily use, trapping in moisture as well as heat. Using some basic principles of radiation reflection and a coating of silver nanowires, physicists have n...

Scientists developing fatigue detection system Scientists have been working on the development of a system able to measure a driver’s heartbeat and respiratory rate in order to prevent fatigue and sleepiness at the wheel. Researchers from the Instituto de Biomecánica de Valencia (IBV), Spain, Eesti Innovatsiooni Instituut and the University of Manchester, UK, have been collaborating on the HARKEN project, funded by the European Commission’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). It embeds a n...

The SEAL SwimSafe™ and drowning detection system empowers swimmers and their guardians by tracking a swimmer's safety while he or she plays, learns to swim, does laps, and dives. Using patented SwimSafe™ technology, if the system detects a potential drowning incident in progress, the SEAL band triggers​​ a high intensity visible, audible, and vibrating alarm alerting guards and guardians to the danger so that a rescue can begin. The SEAL system creates a virtual safety network between swimmer...

Guiding Light is a navigation assistance system that uses directions projected in the space itself to help people become better engaged in their environment and task domain. In particular, I focused on indoor navigation, a problem domain which is becoming increasingly important as the size and complexity of high-rise modern building complexes like hospitals, airports and shopping malls increases.  The indoor environment is a particularly attractive research domain because there are better opport...

Designers from Nanjing University Of Aeronautics and Astronautics have come up with an impressive innovation in the field of technology, with their Air Umbrella. The product uses a motor to propel air in every direction, causing rain water to disperse away from the user. Flowing air has been used for centuries to divert or change the path of various objects. This concept is being taken to the next level with the new model. This umbrella uses air as a shielding force against rain, creating an ...

British team on Friday said it was preparing to launch the world's first ever 3D printed human-sized rocket. It's highly complex shapes that simply weren't practical to do any other way  then to leverage 3d printer to build it. EXASOL AG, the provider of EXASolution the world’s most powerful engine for analytic and data warehousing is today announced as the lead sponsor of the Low Orbit Helium Assisted Navigator (LOHAN) Mission; an audacious plan to launch a 3D printed rocket-powered spacepla...

Garbage, and more specifically, plastic, may pave the streets of the future. In fact, in India, it already has now. It is difficult to exaggerate India’s garbage problem. Jairam Ramesh, the nation’s former environment minister, has said that if there were a “Nobel prize for dirt and filth,” India would win it. Much of India’s garbage is made up of plastic—a scourge of the nation’s new consumer economy. Although the nation’s per capita consumption of plastic is low compared with that of the...
