Weird Gizmos

Lemme make one thing clear, I’m all for the innovative gadgets. Sometimes though, a product comes along that seeks to push the edge a bit too far for my liking. I mean, yes, one would like to see new features added to an existing product but not at the cost of features that are quintessential to its existence.

So what is the point of adding dialing buttons to a device that is going to be attached to your ears all the time? Darfon obviously thinks otherwise. It has produced a Bluetooth device that has got its own, believe it or not, keypad. All this so that there is no need to take out your Bluetooth-enabled phone from your pocket. Equipped with Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, you can make the calling operations from this headset alone.

Pricing and availability are still a mystery, and I would hope it remains so.

The design has basic flaws that the company apparently wants us to overlook. Firstly, who would rather take the headset off from the ear instead of reaching out for the cell phone? Secondly, for all its ingenuity, the device lacks a display panel, so we would never know if the number has been keyed in correctly. Last but not the least; the headset is bigger than some of the sleek mobiles out there.

The verdict - a strict no-no.

Bored of getting up in the mornings with those irritating buzzes of your mom’s favorite oldie alarm clock? Well, I’ll tell you a way by which you can ‘alarm’ your mornings with an innovative time-piece trying to wake you up. Now your mornings will begin with action! Just hit it right on the head and you will feel better after taking out your anger on the device. Roger Ibars has designed an amazing Gun-Operated Alarm Clock!

Ibars customized an old gaming light gun by putting in some slant-sensors and connecting it to an alarm clock. Wring off a few cycles for a little snooze action and you can also set the alarm and time with the gun. It is only an abstract design, so just envisage shooting someone when you strike on that alarm clock every morning.

People and designers are now more aware of the alternative sources of energy like sun and wind. Some people create some good stuff using these energy sources and some just give it a try with some senseless products.

This product is of the second kind. The Elica lamp made by an Italian design firm has an attached wind sensor to it and is priced at $200.

All the work the wind energy does in the lamp is that it can switch the lamp on and off. All you have to do is to blow on the ‘helix’ or propeller attached to the lamp to turn it on or off. Otherwise the lamp is totally powered by an electrical socket.

The lamp priced at $200 will not attract many buyers or should I say no buyers at all...!

A weird Bicycle that can be steered both from front and rear and you sit on it sideways.

The bicycles have been in the production for the past many decades and they haven’t evolved in terms of design and shape radically but Michael Killian has other big ideas. He is the owner and the inventor of a sideways bike. He recently patented his bike.

What would you say about the Fruit Clock that combines micro-electronic technology with the natural electrical potential of a fresh fruit or vegetable? It basically is a digital clock and calendar, which is powered by food, which follows the unique scientific principles, foundation of all modern electrical storage batteries.

All you need to do is, to get the Fruit Clock going, add natural electrical power resource, such as a fresh orange, apple, lemon, lime, pear, banana, or any another seasonal fruit or vegetable to supply the needed components to the device.
