Automated Carrot Picking Machine
More automation. Picking carrots has never been so easy. I can imagine some old field worker watching this as he rubs his sore back. Full video of the Dewulf GKIIISE – 3 Row Carrot Harvester after the break.
Jackfish Survival Tool
I love good survival tools. You can never be too prepared. The Jackfish Survival Card Holder packs quite a bit of goodness into its 8.5mm case. Heck it even holds 4 credit cards. We spent months designing the mechanism to insert and hold the cards. We went for the more costly option of carving the […]
Roost Smart 9V Battery Solves Smoke Detector Nightmares
There isn’t a simpler way to make your dumb smoke detector smart. The Roost 9V Battery ($34.99) has Wifi built-in to the battery. This means it can alert you when the battery is low (about every 5 years), alert you when your smoke detector is alarming (even when you are away), and can be snoozed via […]
TEC Torch Cuts Through Metal In About 1 Second
What the heck is a handheld breaching tool? Well, in this case it is a flashlight sized (1.5 x 14-inch) gadget that shoots vaporized metal and particulate for about 2-seconds to melt anything in front of it. It can melt through locks, rebar, cage bars, braided steel cabling, etc… The cutting jet burns hotter than […]

The CyPhy PARC Hexacopter Can Stay In The Air Forever
Ok…Ok… The CyPhy PARC Drone (I hate the lose use of that term) can’t really stay in the air forever. Almost, though. The PARC hexacopter is what is known as a Persistent Aerial Reconnaissance and Communications (PARC) drone. That basically means that it can stay in the air recording video day and night without the […]
Nemo Special Ops Drill
I didn’t know the special forces got their own special drills, but apparently they do. This all black industrial looking electric drill is designed to be tough enough for the types of jobs that the special forces do. For example it is waterproof up to 100m (328ft), is saltwater resistant, has a 1000-watt brushless motor, […]
PicoBrew Zymatic Home Beer Brewing System
The world’s first all-grain beer brewing appliance, the PicoBrew Zymatic ($1,850) makes brewing beer easy. Yep, easy… and according to the reviews pretty darn amazing. Just like a coffee maker takes the many coffee brewing steps and automates them into a simple appliance, the PicoBrew does the same for beer. To brew beer with the […]
Amazing Bridge Building Mega Machine
This massive 580 ton machine (SLJ900 32) has a single purpose, to build bridges. It appears to be living in China where growth of infrastructure is currently booming. To get an idea of the scale of this bridge building robot, look at how tiny the people working alongside it are.
Pet Treat Launcher
What crazy invention will they think of next? This Pet Treat Launcher ($14) does exactly what you imagine it would. It launches pet treats at your cat or dog. I guess they like that kind of thing? No batteries needed as the Pet Treat Launcher is spring loaded for optimal food launches. The real benefit […]
