New Tech Toy Wind Tree

This is a new concept from France, a tree that creates energy from wind.

The tree run silently, and also looks tasteful! "The idea came when we observe the rustling of leaves in calm weather. Energy is taken from the air and converted in watts.
The device uses a small plate in the form of twisted leaves, which convert wind energy into electrical energy. And regardless of the direction of air flow" However, I would not be looking to have one of these bad boys in your back yard. This tree of metal costs about 30 thousand euros.
 

Michaud-Larivière hopes that the “tree” will be used to power street lamps or charging stations for electric vehicles. In the future he plans to improve the installation and connect it to the energy-efficient homes. Perfect “tree” must be  the leaves of natural fibers, “roots” in the form of geothermal generator and a “crust” with photocells.

New Tech Toy Mouse PC


This may look like an everyday computer mouse to you, but it is not! This is a new tech toy that is still under development. This little guy is actually a full computer in the shape of a mouse.

 "The only, required for use with this gadget the peripheral device – a monitor or projector, which  connected to the Mouse-Box by means of a standard HDMI-cable. The amount of memory a computer is at the level of smartphones iPhone 6, and increase its memory is impossible.

 But, according to the creators, this situation can be easily solved with the help of cloud storage. In addition, Mouse-Box is equipped a gyroscope and an accelerometer. Among the advantages is also the fact, that Mouse-Box charged without wires. To charge applies inductive charger, which serves as a mouse pad, whereby for such a computer a charge will never run dry."

New Tech Toy Translucent Rear Seats

Another new tech, translucent back seats that make going in reverse a little bit safer. http://www.gizmag.com/transparent-back-seat-rearview-system/24943/


This new way of seeing while driving was created my a group in Japan’s Keio University. It is still experimental, but if your like me, you will want to keep your eyeballs peeled for this fun new tech toy in the future.

New Tech Toy Hovding Helmet

I like to look at new tech items that are fresh on the market. This is one of the many things I have found. http://www.hovding.com/
It is a new invention, that is an inflatable helmet that looks like a scarf and will blow up into a safe helmet if the user falls.

 It was created in Sweden to counteract the law that a bike rider must where a helmet while riding.
It's also great because you have a helmet without having your cone of vision blocked.
 

 

The love of new tech!


Yesterday evening I was quietly sitting by our front window that is located directly next to the front door. Looking back at it, I must have looked like some sort of busybody neighbor sticking my nose to the glass waiting to see what will happen. In reality though, I was waiting for the UPS man to deliver a package to my house. This tasty package (that is going to make my life fart rainbows and unicorns) is the temporary cardboard home of a brand new laptop. An Acer Aspire.
 
 As soon as I heard the rumble of the large ugly brown van, I quickly ran to the cover of the door, just in case the man happen to look in the window, no one is there. Thinking myself as a silent ninja, I waited for my opportunity to pounce! As soon as the man approached the front door, I quickly swung the door open, snatched the box from his hands, shouted “THANKS MISTER!”, and just as quickly slammed the door back. I then took a moment to glance in the peek hole to see what the expression on his face was like.
 
 Now that I have the laptop up and running, (I’m using it to write this!) I have begun to wonder why I had such an urge to open the package up and play with it. And I KNOW I am not the only one who always wants new tech toys. Maybe it’s because we use our phones, and computers to try and reach out to each other, to hide the fact that we are lonely sad sacks.
 
 Or maybe it’s just laziness, wanting something to make our lives easier and faster. I don’t know if I will ever know, but I do know that I SO TOTALLY GAVE THAT UPS MAN A HEARTATTACK!!!!
