Working Desktop V Twin Engine runs on butane Posted: 24 Jan 2010 12:04 PM PST If you have a thing for engines, then this Desktop V Twin Engine is the best way to keep it always on your mind while you’re at your desk.  It’d be great for those that enjoy working on engines but are actually in an office job all day long.  That or it would endlessly torture you by keeping your real love on your mind all day long while you’re doing tediously dull tasks.  On the bright side it’ll give you something to play with on your lunch break. The fully functional engine runs on butane.  When you have a full tank of it, the engine will run for about ten minutes.  It’s as loud as a kitchen blender and is optimally balanced to keep the vibrations to a minimum.  The German engine features two aluminum 1 ½ cc cylinders and stainless steel exhaust pipes.  To get it started just fill it up with the required butane and turn the solid brass flywheel.  An electrical impulse will then be sent to the two spark plugs that will in turn ignite the fuel within each cylinder.  Since the engine is so exposed you’ll get to watch the movements of the valve rods, crosshead and crankshafts.  You may want to keep this in a well ventilated room though, since despite that it does have a non-toxic exhaust it will still probably have a little bit of fumes.  The engine is a bit pricey for those interested in it, it will cost you $1,000 through Hammacher Schlemmer.

Life Gear Crank-Powered Personal Safety Device Posted: 24 Jan 2010 11:02 AM PST Some people aren’t worried about being prepared for emergencies.  Either because it never occurs to them or they think it’s silly attempting to prepare for every little disaster.  However, for those that are making an attempt to get something to make themselves feel a little more secure in the world, there is this Life Gear Personal Safety Device.  It’s not as cool as some of the self defense gadgets, but it is much more practical since it has devices to help you with more issues than just being attacked. It can be powered by 3 alkaline batteries or a DC inlet with an optional wall adapter.  When the alkaline batteries run out of juice, it has a hand crank to get it up and running again.  All that cranking keeps the flashlight, emergency radio, emergency cellphone charger, a flasher, directional compass, and  a 130 decibel siren.  All of those devices could come in extremely handy should you find yourself stranded somewhere.  The best part about it is that it’s very affordable.  One of these will cost you $18.99 through Amazon.

Tenease aims to treat tennis elbow Posted: 24 Jan 2010 11:00 AM PST Folks who indulge in the sport of tennis, whether it is for leisure, exercise or even in a semi-pro will find that tennis elbow is one of those somewhat nasty events in life just like taxes and death. Well, since you aren’t earning enough on the circuit to afford your own personal physician, why not settle for something else that has the potential of relieving pain in your case of tennis elbow without costing you thousands in the process? We’re talking about the creatively named Tenease – a new form of treatment for tennis elbow. Of course, it must be duly noted that this painful condition is more often than not unrelated to playing tennis, but indulging in the sport carries some risk of developing it as well. Those who have experienced the pain of lateral epicondylitis can tell you that visiting the doctor often results in frustration, since there are just a few options for treatment. Traditional panaceas include having plenty of rest, strapping of the elbow, steroid injections, anti-inflammatory drugs and surgery – however, none are 100% effective while others carry a certain degree of risk or side effects. With Tenease, this new treatment method for tennis elbow is the result of seven years of hard work, where it works to alleviate pain caused by the condition while accelerating the recovery for some users. Being small and portable, it is suitable for home use as all you need to do is strap the device to the elbow, where it will get to work almost immediately with low frequency vibrations to stimulate blood flow to the area and stop the pain – a result of impeding the transmission of the pain signals to the brain. Just to make sure that this is not a quack solution, Tenease has undergone rigorous testing by the MHRA, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Authority, over the last couple of years and was recently awarded with class IIa approval as a medical device for tennis elbow treatment. It will ship from February 1st onwards for approximately £59 including taxes, and you can always rely on the 30-day money back guarantee if you are not happy with the results.

ViVu unveils VuRoom Posted: 24 Jan 2010 10:45 AM PST ViVu is making a name for themselves as a force to be reckoned with when it involves innovative and easy-to-use solutions for live video participation, having recently unveiled VuRoom. VuRoom is a ViVu-powered plug-in for Skype, where it is built on the Skype platform in order to provide customers with instant multi-user video conferencing. This new breakthrough was previously unheard of on Skype, and with the incorporation of VuRoom’s presentation and desktop sharing functionalities, remote business users are better able to collaborate in real-time, saving them tons of money in the process without having to take long haul flights for face-to-face meetings while adding to the global carbon footprint in the process. To get VuRoom's multi-user video conferencing capability up and running, all the meeting host needs to do is download and install the plug-in with but a few simple clicks. Following that, you can just select the contacts you want to hold a conference with from your Skype contact list, right click to view available options while selecting "Call a Group." This is culminated by clicking "Yes" to the call confirmation popup, and the entire group is good to go – just make sure that everyone else is running on a decent broadband connection, otherwise they might suffer from dropped calls or poor audio and video quality. Even better is the fact that call participants (apart of the host, of course) are not required to have the ViVu plug-in installed in order to participate in the video conference. All participants need to do is click on the provided URL in their text chat window, and they can instantly engage in communications. Apart from that, the presenter is able to pass rights to share their presentations and desktop to other participants. Well, if you’re constantly holding video calls within members of your fraternity or company, why not consider VuRoom and its possibilities? After all, at just $9.95 monthly, VuRoom sure beats forking out thousands for unnecessary business class tickets.

Love Heart Sky Lanterns Posted: 24 Jan 2010 10:30 AM PST Forget about wishing upon a star – why not do it with a lantern, specifically the Love Heart Sky Lantern from Firebox? After all, this gives you a higher degree of control when it comes to making a wish, as you can always pen down your own personal messages with a marker, and do not have to rely on the weather forecast to make sure that the lantern can be spotted within a certain time frame. These enchanting paper blimps are guaranteed to become the talking point of any romantic evening because they climb gently into the night sky like mini hot air balloons. Simply light the special wax fuel cell, wait for a flame to form, make a wish and watch in wonder as your biodegradable lantern gradually ascends to the heavens, glowing as it rises. You can even personalise your lantern with wishes, thoughts or messages of love using a marker pen. Each flame-retardant Flying Heart Sky Lantern can glow for as long as 20 minutes, travelling for miles and rising up to 1500 metres. For a truly passionate effect, why not light a pair of Flying Heart Sky Lanterns simultaneously? With two lanterns per box it’s easy and the effect is so breathtaking. After all, Valentine’s Day will come upon you sooner than you think, so you might as well fork out £9.99 for a 2-pack of Love Heart Sky Lanterns before realizing too late that it is already February 15th and the reason behind your spouse’s silent treatment.

LightCap 300 Solar Powered Lantern & Water Bottle Posted: 24 Jan 2010 10:15 AM PST Who would have thought that something as ordinary as a drinking bottle could also harness the power of the sun with a strategically placed solar panel, where this converted energy can then be used to power its built-in lantern? The LightCap 300 Solar Powered Lantern & Water Bottle does exactly just that, retailing for a mere $29.99 while featuring a quartet of extremely bright white LEDs without weighing you down with its 10.5 oz weight for both bottle and cap. The translucent cap is deemed to be unbreakable, although we’re pretty sure that falls within reasonable boundaries and does not include having a huge slab of concrete dropped over it from a few meters above. Looks like a decent tool to bring camping, and at least you can see whether any creepy-crawlies have made it to the inside of your drink at night before taking a few sips.

Wireless Page To TV Magnifier Posted: 24 Jan 2010 10:03 AM PST As we age, our health often starts to deteriorate in a progressively worse manner. Well, apart from our body system start going bonkers, most of us will also have issues with our eyesight especially if you love reading Coolest Gadgets on a mobile device wherever you are. Enter the Wireless Page To TV Magnifier which is pretty self-explanatory, although there is a more apt description on what it does from the product page here below. As easy to use as a computer mouse, this device scans written materials and sends them wirelessly to your television set in real time, magnifying them up to 25X for easy viewing of fine print. The wireless magnifier’s bright 655 x 488 pixel handheld scanner picks up every detail of a picture or every letter of a word and transfers data to its base station (that plugs into your TV) which then sends it to your television screen with a bright, easy-to-read 2 1/4″ x 1 1/2″ field of view. Magnification ranges from 10X on a 14″ TV to 28X on a 32″ TV. Guess a TV larger than 32″ might just end up with more jaggies, so don’t throw away that old 32″ just yet even if you decide to upgrade to one with more real screen estate, eh? The $149.95 Wireless Page To TV Magnifier would find good use for that older piece of tech. Check out the Coolest Gadgets 2008 Gift Guides, Christmas shopping made easy.
