Panasonic Evolta Robot
Looks like Panasonic has the Energizer Bunny dead in their sites. Panasonic has created a new “longer lasting” AA battery labeled the Evolta (combining “evolution” and “voltage”), which is supposed to last 20 percent longer than anything offered by Duracell and Energizer. Panasonic put some of these batteries in a rope climbing robot and set […]
Hi-Tech Digital Pocket Watch
I have always fancied pocket watches, even though they are a bit out of place in 2008 not to mention unpractical. It is just one more thing to lose… and a watch on your wrist tends to do the job. With all of that stacked against the pocket watch Adam Huffman has come out with […]
Name This Gadget
Name this gadget contest. Don’t be yucky. And what will you win? Good question… I will work on that. ** The winner is… drum roll… wait for it…. wait for it…. – It’s the “Hand me that Wrench” by Amy (check your email for details).
Floating Solar Farm
Far Niente, a Napa Valley winery, paid quite a bit of money for the first floating solar farm. The 1000 (plus another 1300 panels next to the pond) panels are floating on pontoons and provide about 4000 kilowatts of energy at peak. Seems wineries are very eco-conscious, or have tons of money, or both. The […]
Convert Your Saturn Sky To An Electric Car – The Amp
We love the Tesla all electric car, but the price and deliverable times make them unpractical… so, when we saw “The Amp” we got excited. Say you have a Saturn Sky (similar to the Pontiac Solstice) laying around and just found $25,000 in the couch cushions… you can convert the gas powered car to an […]
Stripper And Beer Scented Candles?
Hotwicks are not your Mom’s candles… no morning breeze or lilac scents here. With scents like beer, campfire, coffee, dryer sheet, grass, hippie, new car, pancake, pigskin, popcorn, stripper, and urinal cake they are breaking the mold. Imagine the combinations… better yet, imagine the confusion you could cause with your buddies while burning beer scent […]
Fully Autonomous Robotic Golf Caddy
“Mark Twain once famously quipped that “Golf is a good walk spoiled”. Perhaps if he’d had access to the fully autonomous Shadow Caddy®, he might have been a little more enthusiastic. This “follow-me golf caddy” has the ability to trail you around the course without the use of any form of remote control, making it […]
Creative Ways For PC Cooling
When it comes to cooling off computers, people spend can spend a serious amount of time and money. Some folks prefer tons of fans (making their computer sound like a jet airplane) while others choose water cooling systems (scary for many reasons). Well, the folks in this gadget blog just use good old fashioned air, […]
Solar Powered Speedboat
This Dutch built solar powered boat claims to be the world’s first solar speedboat. The boat is named the Czeers MK1 and can reach speeds up to 30 knots (35MPH). The 10-meter speed boat was built by the Delft Technical University Solarboat Team. The boat appears to be about made of carbon fiber, solar panels, […]
Amazon Offering Free TiVo HD DVR’s With Certain TV’s

The promotion isn’t just for the ridiculously expensive TV’s either… you can get the 40-inch Samsung (720P, 8000:1 contrast and 2 HDMI ports) for $947.71 and still get the free TiVo (currently listed on Amazon for […]
