Body Check Ball
May 19th, 2009 by admin
The Body Check Ball from Japantrendshop basically “lets you get an accurate, detailed picture of your health, anytime, anywhere — has sensors to read your body fat, bone density, and muscle percentages, and displays them all on an easy-to-read LCD screen
.”
The ball supports up to 10 different user profiles, and I assume it will keep track of past measurements for comparison. It also doubles as an alarm clock.

Can’t get your kids to finish their homework or study? Meet the Study Ball. This gadget will keep them in place until their homework is finished, as it weighs 21-pounds and can be set to unlock every 4-hours. Unfortunately, it’s priced at $116.
When the time has elapsed, the shackle will unlock. And no, this is not a concept - it actually exists.

The BUGlabs Modular Gadget Factory from ThinkGeek is basically “a set of tools that lets you create personalized gadgets and devices; it’s open-source and modular, letting you literally snap together the device you need.” Video after the break.
Unhappy with Google maps street view? Snap on the GPS module and the camera, and code your BUG to take geotagged photos at specific intervals and roll your own.
Homemade Coilgun

Daniel Eindhoven spent $133 and countless hours building a semi-automatic coilgun that’s capable of firing 42g projectiles at speeds in excess of 100km/h — 14 shot capacity. Continue reading for one more picture.
It also sports a digital voltage display and a laser pointer. Just as we predicted when we saw the Nerf chain gun, the inter-office arms race is definitely on.

Not your standard lamp, the Lull Flower Lamp closes at night and blooms in the morning, gradually filling the room with light. This concept is set to go into production later this year.
Designed by three Norwegian designers (Marianne Varmo, Heidi Buene, and Audun Kollstad), Lull is a lamp that opens and closes like a flower.
Strange Boneless Belt
May 12th, 2009 by admin
Called the Boneless Belt, this strange gadget essentially separates your stomach into small sections, which supposedly increases “metabolic consumption of calories and raises the propensity for increased blood flow values.” Continue reading for one more picture.
This horrifying belt separates your fatty stomach into segments because, in Japan, fat people are retarded and lazy and think this will help them lose weight.
Amazon Kindle DX Hands-On
May 12th, 2009 by admin
Available for pre-order now through Amazon, the Amazon Kindle DX boasts a 9.7-inch display, built-in PDF reader, and 5-way controller. By just simply “turning the device, you can immediately see full-width landscape views of maps, graphs, tables and web pages.”
The size difference really is notable. The DX is a large device. It’s not the kind of thing you’ll be throwing into a purse, though it’s not so large that you wouldn’t consider it over the Kindle 2.
Authentic Working Wood Trebuchet Kit
May 11th, 2009 by admin
This working wood trebuchet kit from Vat19 is easy to build (1-2 hours), launches items 20-feet, stands 2-feet tall, and “includes a small ball of clay for shooting.” Video after the break.
Instead of relying on the tension created by a twisted rope, the Working Wood Trebuchet uses a counterweight system. Fill the box, or carriage, with heavy ballast such as small rocks, marbles, shame or guilt (you’d be amazed at their weight).
