Posted: 11 May 2010 03:00 PM PDT Now that Iron Man 2 has hit the theaters and most people have had a chance to swing by and watch it, if you liked it you might want a little gear to go with it. Thankfully Tyme Machine has a small but useable item to show off your love for the new movie. Normally he looks like just a cute miniature of Iron Man 2, but if you pop off his head it’ll reveal a USB drive stored within. The drive is a fully sculpted 3D drive that comes in several different sizes. Those being 4GB, 8GB and 16GB. Sadly they don’t say if he lights up at all when he’s actually plugged into a USB port. To get your own 4GB it costs $34.99, for the 8GB it’s $44.99 and the 16GB is $59.99. If you intend to use it for music the site lets you know exactly how many hours of music you’ll get with each individual drive.

Posted: 11 May 2010 02:25 PM PDT Anyone that prefers walking with weights to get the most out of their walk would normally have a little bit of a balancing act if they’re going with their pet. Granted my dog yanks on the leash hard enough that it gives me a good enough work out that I don’t really feel the need to add to it. Those of you that have a calm dog, this Dog Leash Weight Set is a great way to make it easy to carry a weight and a leash. Each of the weights has something for your dog stashed directly on them. One side has the 16′ leash with a 3-way trigger. Then on the other is a compartment to hang onto things like treats and bags to clean up any messes your dog happens to leave behind. The dumbbell itself weighs 4 and ½ pounds, so it’s not exactly a heavy weight. You can purchase the full set for $59.95 through Hammacher.

Posted: 11 May 2010 02:11 PM PDT Giving a child a little comforting light means using a little extra power within your home to keep a night light up and running. That is unless you happen to pick yourself up this very cute little elephant. The blue elephant happens to get his source of power from somewhere other than your outlet, which means paying less on those power bills that come around every month. During the day the blue elephant absorbs all of the power it needs from the sun’s rays. Then by night it shines just bright enough to offer a little comfort while it’s dark. The light is actually behind the elephant, which makes it so the elephant is just a silhouette. The panel is on the back of the elephant as well, so you just have to make sure the back is facing a window. To pick one up it’ll cost you £25.99 or about $38.

It comes with a stylish aluminum casing that is not only meant to be there for cosmetic purposes, since it also helps reduce EM interference. While it will hit Apple stores throughout the US from the end of next week onwards, those who want to try other channels can check out Moshi’s own online store.

Shock absorbers are capable of generating electricity Posted: 10 May 2010 07:00 PM PDT Shock absorbers are an extremely important component of any car, as it provides you with a comfortable ride no matter where you want to go. Well, the boffins at Cambridge, MA-based Levant Power have come up with a new form of shock absorbers which are touted to lower fuel consumption by 1.5% to 6%, depending on the type of vehicle it is used in and driving conditions. Not only that, the new shock absorber system is touted to improve vehicle handling for motorheads who place a great amount of emphasis on performance. Apart from that, what sets this shock absorber system apart from the rest in the market would be its ability to take advantage of potholes – assuming you could not avoid one in time, it will be able to turn the situation in your favor, turning vibrations and jolts from rough roads into electricity. Levant has already run demonstrations of its technology in road tests with a Humvee, and they hope to expand testing to trucks, buses, and other vehicles later this summer. The shock absorbers do not look out of place at all, being pretty much conventional ones from the outside, although you will find a power cord coming out of one end. It can be retro-actively installed in ordinary vehicles by mechanics, and will come plugged into a power management device which will also help manage power from other sources including regenerative braking systems, thermoelectric devices that convert waste heat into electricity, or solar panels. All juice will then be sent into the car’s electrical system, further reducing the amount of load on the alternator. As with a conventional shock absorber, the Levant technology relies on a piston that moves through oil to damp down movement. Levant improves on this idea by using a modified piston head which comprises of parts that spin as it moves through the oil, helping turn a small generator housed within the shock absorber. A power controller relies on information from accelerometers and other sensors to change the resistance from the generators, resulting in better handling thanks to automatic stiffening and softening of the suspension. The company currently does not have any plans to manufacture the technology itself, but would prefer to license it to a manufacturer or create a joint venture.
