It’d be a very bad idea to preorder this flame-throwing robot dog…

June 22, 2023 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

Thermonator, the first ever robot dog equipped with a flamethrower, will be available to preorder in the coming months from a company called Throwflame. Neato. Thermonator can hurl flames on-demand at whatever object you desire, for ‘instant firepower’, by being coupled with the company’s ARC flamethrower. That’s right, this is one hotdog you certainly wouldn’t […]

The future is cyborgs with 3D-printed organs and knives that can ‘smell’ cancer

June 1, 2023 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

It’s fair to say we’ve come a long way in terms of healthcare – and some could argue we’ve got a long way to go when it comes to finally beating the likes of cancer, Alzheimer’s and motor neurone disease – but there are a lot of developments on the horizon we can look forward […]

Transparent wall technology to save lives

January 17, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This could be filed in the “is it a send up?” folder but you’ve got to give credit to New Scientist; they explain the concept clearly. Bonus points for mentioning super powers too. Video and projection technology deployed to let drivers see “through” walls and therefore be aware of any potential trouble around the corner.

Pay Pie! – Tech for splitting the bill

November 29, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Pay Pie is my term for this wonderful device. I think it fits. Have you ever had to battle with fair and effective ways to split the bill? I have. Sometimes its easier just to pay the bill yourself than go through the drama of coping with cash, cards and IOUs! Thanks to Geeky Gadgets […]

October 20, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Folks – this is why there is a Geek Native. This is awesome. The Surfacescapes team at the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University could become gods among geeks if they’re able to push on and complete this project. What we have here is a proof of concept; a DnD 4e game (I could […]

Sir James Dyson explains the air multiplier

October 14, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Dyson successfully launched their new bladeless fan / air multiplier yesterday. I say “successfully” as the term air multiplier quickly became a hot trend on Google and on Twitter. The Telegraph have a video of James Dyson describing the new invention. In a nutshell the famous inventor pitches the fan as being smoother than a […]

Prepare for tattooed food

September 13, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Yup; looks like laser etched fruit is set to hit the shelves in America. We might expect to see it in the UK shortly after that. Slashfood tells us that the authorities in America are ready to approve the technique. Laser labelling is a method of marking fruit with best before dates and even a […]

Sharky tea – not shark fin soup

August 31, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Shark fin soup is bad. We all know this… but what about this team from Looks Like Good Design? I certainly think it would be an impressive way to serve the tea when you had friends around. My main concern is that the water would be too cool by the time the tea was strong […]

New handheld video camera concept from Whipsaw

August 31, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m tempted by a Flip camera. The idea of having something small enough to pop into my regularly used travel bag and pull out just when I need to is appealing. It would be a great way to start to produce video content for this and many other sites. Then there’s the iPhone S3G debate. […]
