10 Most Expensive Gadgets

by vinayak mathur

Ecosse Titanium Series FE Ti XX Motorcycle: $300,000

Yes, there is the $555,000 Dodge Tomahawk that can compete as the world’s most expensive motorcycle. But it technically has four wheels! Many have christened the Ecosse Titanium Series FE Ti XX Motorcycle as the world’s most expensive motorcycle. It gives other motorbikes a run for their money with its price tag of $300,000 and a high-end titanium chassis fit with carbon fiber wheels. This motorcycle also delivers 210-foot pounds of pure torque.

Harry Winston Opus 12 Watch: $260,000

The Harry Winston Opus 12 wristwatch has no typical minute and hour hands. It has elegant blue metal arms that look more like sharp weapons. It takes pride in its sophistication, well enough to cast a price tag of $260,000 for their wristwatch.

This watch can work for about 45 hours with 607 parts, 80 jewels and 3 barrels. It even renders animation of the 12 hour hands for each hour change. It also animates the minute hands for every five minutes. The watch has a diameter of 46mm with a white gold case and anti-reflective sapphire crystal.

It has an air of exclusivity because only 120 units will be created to tell time in a Copernican-inspired revolution fashion.

Megatrend MKIII Speakers: $80,000

When the volume of sound is overwhelming, it is often referenced as a “wall of sound.” But Transmission Audio’s Megatrend MKIII Speakers take this idiomatic phrase to a whole new literal level. Standing seven feet tall and three feet wide, this is a real wall of speakers for the steep price of $80,000.

MWE Emperor 200 PC WorkStation: $45,000

The MWE Emperor 200 will definitely make working easier with this sophisticated workstation featuring three monitors, a touch screen interface, air filtration system, an electric powered leather seat and light therapy illumination. In short, this has everything you need for a comfortable work experience – all for the exorbitant price of $45,000.

These workstations are made to order according to customer specifications. One can even add peripherals such as iPhone docks. But it can take up to six months to construct a unit.

S-Works + McLaren Venge Bicycle: $18,000

With the sudden spike in popularity of biking, it has been increasingly difficult to buy an inexpensive bicycle. The normal range is from $2,500 up. But a specific kind of bicycle integrates exceptional technology to propel the price tag of the bicycle to $18,000. This is the S-Works + McLaren Venge Bicycle.

The S-Works + McLaren Venge Bicycle uses its technological advantage to lessen the stiffness of an already lightweight carbon-fiber rocket. This directly translates to speed. But for the price, will it be better to buy this technology or just pedal harder?

Vertu Constellation Smartphone: $13,800

When considering the price of a smartphone, many people probe the features and specifications of the gadget. But the Vertu luxury smartphone takes it up a notch. A unit costs around $13,800. But the only glaring difference of this smartphone is that it’s running a Symbian operating system and a Swype keyboard. It also has a red gold exterioir with 24/7 Concierge Live application. This also helps you secure exclusive access to clubs, arrange travel trips, order expensive wine and even get in touch with a security specialist.

The Kohler Numi Toilet System: $6,400

For the rich and powerful, it is not enough to take care of your excretions through normal means. The Kohler Numi breaks all boundaries when it comes to toilet systems with this contraption worth $6,400. This unit has a touchscreen interface and a smart bidet for easier cleaning. The seat is also heated and there is a vent underneath that blows warm air for additional comfort.

Stax SR-009 Earspeakers: $5,250

“Beats by Dre” has successfully established itself as the brand of choice when it comes to headphones. This brand is already expensive with its rapper endorsements but it pales in comparison to the headphones of a certain Japanese company. The Stax SR-009 can handle a frequency response between 5 to 42,000 Hertz and you can have this sonic flexibility for $5,250.

Even with its design, Stax maintains that these should not be called headphones but rather as ear speakers. Moreover, you need an amplifier worth $2,000 to power the unit further.

Victorinox 1TB Swiss Army Knife: $3,000

We know Swiss knives should be everything you need in a nice and neat package. With the advent of the digital revolution, why not include a thumb drive with it? This is the new feature of the upcoming Victorinox 1TB Swiss Army Knife. Yes, that’s one terabyte of data storage in a little bundle in the comforts of your pocket.

For practical purposes, the USB 2.0 thumb drive can be detached from the Swiss Knife so that there won’t be a dangling hazard each time you have to transfer files. But for a thumb drive with a few practical knives and features, are you really willing to shell out $3,000?

iPhone 4 Docking Station Made of Crystal: $500

A docking station is a convenient way to sync files and to charge an iPhone. But will you shell out more than $500 for an iPhone docking station made of crystal and painted with platinum? The price of the gadget alone is almost enough to buy a new iPhone 4 altogether.

Top 10 Military Gadgets

by vinayak mathur

10. C4OPS Hybrid Headset

A headset designed like a Swiss knife. It can operate in 3 different configurations:

Low Profile – The headset is connected to the helmet strap and provides excellent stability and noise canceling, but non intrusive and designed to provide excellent sound quality both ways even on the battlefield.
Headband – Offers great sound quality and comfort for high noise operations and it allows continuous operation via the earpiece which has an inbuilt microphone even after the normal microphone has been detached.
Maritime – Designed for special covert operations, this headset is inaudible at distances over 20 inches and can operate fully immersed to up to 20 meters. It can be attached to a variety of helmets via its helmet clip, without the need for any other equipment.

9. BodyGuard Electro Gauntlet

This looks like something out of a movie, something that Batman or Iron Man would have on their hands. The BodyGuard electric gauntlet is a great offense and defense weapon, due to its hard outer shell and the possibility of discharging up to 500.000 V. It also features a laser pointer and a video camera so you can review your video of shocking your opponent.

8. Prism 200c Backpack

Nowadays it’s really easy to scan a building without ever setting a foot inside. The Prism 200c Backpack does it for you with lightning speed. All you have to do is to place the backpack along side the wall of the room, and via Bluetooth it connects to your smartphone and it gives you a fully 3D image of the other side of the wall. It’s made to look like a regular backpack, so it could be used in covert operations.

7. Cornershot

This can be the biggest life saver of all in urban combat, where soldiers have to navigate buildings, walls and other obstacles, and if they could shoot their opponents without leaving the cover of a wall, then the risk involved will be greatly reduced. Of course, a bend barrel wouldn’t be such a good idea, so they had to improvise. And the Cornershot is what it led to. A nozzle mounted video camera relays a video feed to a screen on which soldiers can analyze the battleground and take on enemies with no risk of bringing harm to themselves.

6. BigDog

Soldiers now have to carry a great deal of equipment with them. This puts immense strain on their bodies and can slow them down considerably. So the need for a machine to carry all that equipment is understandable. But some terrain can be difficult to navigate by machines, wheels ca get stuck or not be able to climb stairs, so the best solution is to create a robot that can walk on legs. The ideal solution is to look at nature for inspiration, and a four legged robot offered the best stability without having the need for complex motors and equipment.

BigDog can carry up to 20 pounds of equipment. Although for now it has to be controlled by a remote, in the future it will be completely autonomous. The power behind the BigDog is a one-cylinder gasoline engine connected to a computer, a fiber-optic laser gyroscope and even an IMU (inertial measurement unit) for keeping the robot standing on difficult terrains and inclined to up to 45 degrees.

5. Dragonfly Surveillance Robot

A little friend for any soldier. This little guy can fly off and give information about what to expect ahead, so that soldiers don’t run blind into buildings. Imagine a swarm of these bugs flying around and giving information. They are hardly noticeable by anyone, due to their small size. Applications of this technology could help search for survivors in accidents and in collapsed buildings.

4. X-Flex

Like a bullet proof vest protects the wearer from bullets, the X-Flex fabric protects from bombs and shrapnel. This wallpaper can be put any house and transform it into a bunker that can withstand a bomb blast. A great thing for personal protection in any case.

3. MK2 Robotic Arm

The best that robotic arms have to offer, the MK2 offers top of the line dexterity. This arm could have a great impact in unmanned vehicles that can defuse bombs. The robotic arm features a modular construction and unparalleled freedom and dexterity and it can hold upwards of 25 Kg.

2. Liquid Armor

A invention that could be implemented both on the battlefield but also for the Police, giving them the best armour possible. The liquid is more resistive than other armour materials, such as Kevlar and metal plates, and at a fraction of the weight. It’s based on a fluid that hardens when pressure is applied onto it (also known as Non-Newtonian Fluid). The advantage of this technology over the materials like Kevlar is that, unlike Kevlar, which is a great bullet stopper, it’s vulnerable to stabs and slower moving objects. The Liquid armour does not need the same pressure that Kevlar needs to stop an objective. The molecules lock together and give it extraordinary strength. Bullet and stab proof vests made from Kevlar and liquid armour offer ther best protection possible, the combination of these two materials is truly amazing.

1. Sarcos Exoskeleton

Not a robot, but a tool to make average humans into superheros. The Exoskeleton gives the wearer great strength and speed. With this technology, we could have supersoldiers and imagine what this exoskeleton can do for impaired people.

10 Amazing Travel Gadgets

by vinayak mathur

Customized Airline Seat Cover

At first this sounds like a joke. Imagine you enter an airplane, find your seat and start stretching your own washable seat cover with leopard print. I’m sure, this looks more than odd, but the manufacturer tries to convince us to buy this cover telling each year more than 500 million people makedomestic flights and they use the same seats making them less sanitary. I’m not sure anyone requires this seat cover as the majority think they have their clothes to protect from microbes left by previous passengers. However, if you are a cleanness junkie and are not confused to use this seat cover in an airplane, this gadget can be a nice thing to buy. Attention of all passengers is guaranteed as well as protection from germs, spills or crumbs.(Link)

Traveller’s T-Shirt

If you’re a world traveler heading out to exotic destinations this summer, this Traveler’s Phrasebook T-Shirt might be just for you. It uses the same pictograms you see on international signs across the globe, bringing world communication down to its most basic level.
Designed by Artemy Lebedev of Optimus Maximus keyboard fame, it covers the most basic of human needs, and all you have to do is point to whatever it is you’re looking for and even the dopiest desk clerk will be able to help you out. Who needs some cumbersome electronic translator when a simple T-shirt will do? (Link | Via)

One inch Camera

If you are too worried about over packing, this is a good solution for you. Meet the world’s smallest digital camera, measuring just over one inch in all dimensions and weighing only half an ounce. Reminiscent of devices employed by Cold War-era operatives for intelligence gathering, the camera appears to require Lilliputian agility, yet its one-button operation provides easy picture taking. After a twist of its tiny lens for manual focus, it uses a 2 MP image sensor that takes still images at 1600 x 1200 resolution and captures video at 30 fps at 640 x 480 resolution. (Link)

Talking Luggage Scale

This is the only luggage scale that announces the weight of bags. Ensuring the convenient prevention of airline overweight-baggage fees without requiring even a casual glance of its 3 1/2″ backlit LCD, its built-in speaker announces the weight in an easy-to-understand female voice (e.g. “Thirty Eight Pounds”). It weighs up to 110 lbs. (accurate to one-tenth of a pound) and displays readings in pounds or kilograms. The display automatically turns off after 60 seconds of inactivity to preserve power. (Link)

Flying Pasties

These orange rubber stickers – branded “Flying Pasties” – are designed to be placed inside or on top of a traveller’s underwear and obscure their private parts from controversial full-body airport scanners. The company’s website features a virtually nude woman wearing the stickers – which are available for about $15 each – but does not provide any evidence to show the product actually works.
Note: The company has been criticized on travel for being ineffective and capitalising on the fears of passengers subjected to the new airport scanners.(Link)

USB Air Conditioned Shirt

Who doesn’t want a shirt that blows cool air across your back and torso during intense heat? Such a shirt sounds perfect if you’re planning on sitting outside in the middle of the desert. It would also be great if you were running or exercising in the hotel’s fitness room. However, the downfall is that it’s connected to a USB. In order to enjoy that nice cool air, you have to be hooked up to your laptop and have a powerful battery. (Link)

Underwear Stash

If you’re concerned with hiding lots of money in places that are too obvious, consider BriefSafe. It’s a pair of nasty-looking, “pre-skid marked” drawers with a hidden pocket for all your cash, passport, etc. (Link)

Travel bidet

Perfect for cleanness junkie travelers, this pocket-size Travel Bidet was designed for those traveling to (shall we say) less sophisticated countries. Available from Skymall.com for US$44.95. (Link)

Heated Pet Car Seat

Here’s something for folks who love their furkids to bits, and want to provide the very best for them – hence the Heated Pet Car Seat, perfect for those winter moments. This can be touted to be the only kind of pet car seat which is heated to deliver a cozy, warm quarter for pets whenever you travel. There is a 12-volt heater located inside the seat cushion, where it is capable of producing a mild radiant heat up to 15º F above the ambient temperature. The seat cushion itself is filled with 3″ of soft, supportive foam, while the interior of the car seat is covered with smooth, plush fleece.

You can string the car’s seat belt through the base of the car seat to help it remain stable even when you drive, and as long as Fido doesn’t chew through the heating element’s plug to the vehicle’s DC outlet, the both of you should be better off. Expect to fork out $149.95 for the Heated Pet Car Seat. (Link)

Wi-Fi Network Detector T-shirt

On one hand this gadget is so nice and contains a sparkling idea of showing you and all people around you where the closest Wi-Fi hot spot is. Usually Wi-Fi detectors are tiny gadgets you put in your pocket, but you have to remove them from it and look to see if there is any access available. This T-short has a built Wi-Fi detector and its animated image displays current signal and its strength. The more bars appear on your shirt, the better signal is. This T-shirt shows you’re keen on modern technologies, but it also shows that you have a modern laptop or other portable devices worth more than a thousand of dollars. In true, you will attract attention as manufactures says, but I’m afraid this will not be the attention you want to get. (Buy it Here)

11 high tech spy gadgets

by vinayak mathur

Robotic Roaches

As if roaches, beetles and other creepy-crawlies weren’t already unwelcome in your home, you’ll be even warier of them as they gain disturbing spy capabilities thanks to the latest in cyborg tech. In 2006, Tokyo University researchers created an army of zombie cockroaches that can be directed by remote control; scientists are now taking their work one step further by using the cockroaches’ bodily functions to power the CPUs and radio components of spy devices. Researchers have also been able to create remote-controlled cyborg beetles by attaching computer chips to the brains of the insects, equipping them with cameras and other devices.

Face-Scanning Sunglasses

Crowds at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil will be subjected to face-scanning software hidden in the sunglasses of police. The new technology, which consists of a small camera fitted to the glasses, can capture 400 facial images per second and transmit them to a central computer database, which can store up to 13 million faces. Working at a distance of up to 50 meters (164 feet), the devices will help law enforcement identify those involved in brawls and other illegal activity.

Double Duty Pen and Weapon

(images via: benchmade.com, coolest gadgets)

Why carry around an ordinary pen when you could have one that could save your life, or even capture DNA from an attacker? The Benchmark 1100 Pen by Benchmade has a kubotan-style pointed weapon made of either anodized aluminum or stainless steel hidden within its body, while the Uzi tactical pen hides a ‘DNA Catcher’ in its crown, which not only injures attackers but takes a sample of their blood. Both pens also function as glass breakers.

Spy Kite with Digital Camera

Curious about your neighbor’s land, or just want to snap some aerial photographs for more innocuous reasons? The Spy Kite by Eolo mounts a cheap digital camera to a kite with about 82 feet of string, taking photos via wireless remote. Low-tech and low-cost, the kite is not exactly CIA-worthy, but might make you think twice about any wayward kites you see hanging over your home.

Peephole Reverser

We install peepholes in our doors to protect ourselves, allowing us to identify anyone at the door before we open it to them. But those same peepholes can easily be used against us. A simple gadget called a peephole reverser, also known as a tactical door viewer, was developed by law enforcement, giving them a look at activity inside a dwelling without alerting anyone inside.

Laser Microphone

It’s all too easy to listen to someone’s conversation using little more than a laser beam. Laser microphones use a laser beam to measure the vibration of sounds on a surface, usually glass windows, transmitting those sounds back to the listener’s receiver. DIY instructions abound on the internet, including this tutorial by Lucid Science.

Spy Flies

(image via: washington post)

Robotic-looking dragonflies and other insects have been spotted at political events and protests in Washington and New York, hovering over antiwar rallies. While no government agency admitted to deploying the robots, the technology has been in the works for decades and some entities have admitted that they’re currently trying to perfect it. Because replicating the flying motions of a live insect tends to be inefficient, researchers may soon turn to flying cyborg insects like the beetles and roaches instead.

Micro-Cameras Based on Maple Seeds

(image via: cnet)

Is that a maple seed spinning down toward the ground – or a covert micro-camera designed by Lockheed Martin? The defense contractor is developing a tiny camera based on the seed, which will have two tiny jet boosters to help steer it and keep it in the air. Lockheed plans to disperse them over war zones to monitor conditions, find survivors in disaster areas and even detect chemical and biological weapons.

Pen-Sized Document Scanner

(image via: pcmag)

Need to scan a document on the sly, as quickly as possible? The Docupen by Planon is hardly bigger than a regular writing instrument, but pass it over a sheet of paper or a photograph and it will capture and store the documents, ready to be uploaded via USB or Bluetooth to any computer.

Wireless Camera Disguised as a Screw

(image via: spygearco.com)

It’s hard not to be paranoid about amazingly tiny hidden cameras when they’re as stealthy as this. A tiny wireless camera is hidden in the head of a screw, transmitting live video to your television or recording it on a VCR. All it needs to operate is a single 9 volt battery. These cameras are inexpensive and widely available.

Self-Destructiong RAM

(image via: engadget)

The last thing a spy wants is to have his or her own data stolen. Going beyond encryption and biometrics, a new form of magnetoresistive RAM will render data unusable if the chip is compromised. Philips is currently developing the technology, which wraps the chips in two layers of soft magnetic foil, one of which is magnetized. The other layer acts as a “keeper” by gathering flux from a permanent magnet and maintaining a closed loop around the data. If a thief rips open the foil, the magnets erase the data.
