7 Japanese gadgets you can't buy just yet |
Ó
A lot of people have commented on the whole Spaceballs motif of the helmet, but I personally see it differently. With a little creative modding, you can actually make this look like a Gouf's head (I'm thinking specifically of the YMS-08A Gouf, but that's just me.)
I'm such a fanboy.
According to the inventor, these batteries would be cheap to produce and can be recycled several times. Please note though that these batteries are ACTIVATED by water. What this means is that you won't be able to use these batteries unless you activate 'em with some water, by licking them for example. Water's not the power source here.
It's not exactly mind-control, but what the hey. This should deliver quite a few laughs at parties.
The process involves using a special pigment ion the paper that reacts to heat. When the pigment is heated to temperatures above 180 degrees centigrade, it turns black, thereby creating an image on the sheet. if the surface is heated to between 130 and 170 degrees the pigment reverts to white, effectively erasing the image.
This is something that would've been quite useful if it was around during the whole Watergate scandal. Environmentally-aware people should also like this gadget, since it can theoretically cut down on the number of tress cut down just so we can have paper.
Seriously though, the EV-X7 is touted as the first "electric motorbike with a hybrid plug-in, electromagnetic-permanent magnet motor — is seven times more cost-efficient than scooters running on petrol."
The EV-X7's motor is housed inside the hybrid bike's rear wheel. The batteries can be charged at home, and it can run for as much as 180 kilometers on just one charge (full charge takes just a tad over six hours). The EV-X7 can travel up to speeds of 150 kilometers per hour.
I'm thinking spider tanks. Slap on some blue paint and a personality and you've got yourself a Tachikoma.
Japanese inventor Hiroshi Tanaka says otherwise, though. He claims to have developed a machine that can instantly age wine using an electrolysis process. Apparently, the process breaks up the water molecules and allows them to blend more completely with the alcohol.
