RC Superhero (Remote Control Super Hero) | New Type of Aircraft

if I saw a man-sized figure flying through the sky, I might think that I was looking at a real superhero. This is probably the purpose of this kit, which weighs in at 3 pounds and has a motor with 6 pounds of thrust. Check it out on the video after the jump, with glowing eyes and feet.I suppose that this is probably as close as we are going to get to superheroes in real life. It reminds me of the superhero shows where the hero is a huge robot with his sidekick, the guy who built the robot. I guess I’m not certain who would be the sidekick, then.Anyway, if you want to get in on this action, it is definitely a DIY project. You should be able...

« TechiePK » Paper-Phone Change The Way We Do Mobile Devices

we all know that consumer electronics companies are struggling to make their devices thinner and thinner. We all know where this is heading, to a future era where every piece of paper is like a tablet PC, like on the failedCaprica TV series.This PaperPhone seems ready for that era, and it takes it a step further with a bendable interface. You can see what it is like on a video after the jump, but it really isn’t like anything that is on current mobile phones or tablets.Not to be too much of a spoiler, but I was confused with how the user can bend certain corners in order to produce different functions. It seems to have some touchscreen...

« TechiePK » No Need USB Dongle | HP Wi-Fi Mouse

The evolution of the mouse in the computing industry has been an interesting one over the years. First of all, we have the PS/2 port mouse that while functional, clearly lacked the sensitivity that is found in newer USB powered models. Well, technology has advanced over the years that even USB mice have ended up wireless. Of course, those who lean more towards the gaming segment will know that having a wired mouse will still fare better in an intense firefight or under high pressure gaming environments compared to a wireless model. As for wireless mice, those will need a USB receiver plugged into the computer so that it can communicate with...

« TechiePK » Aero Train | Japanese Researchers working on Aero Train

I always liked how those maglev trains can hover on the tracks, and Japanese Researchers are working on another type of floating train with this prototype that you see here.I realize that this prototype looks more like a plane than a train, but this uses air and several plane wings in order to levitate like it does.You can watch the video of how it hovers after the jump. You will note that it does tend to drag a bit.I believe that the plan is to create an “Aero Train” that can travel at speeds of 124 miles per hour, which is just a wee bit slower than bullet trains. It has to travel in a U-shaped concrete channel. I am guessing that someone...

« TechiePK » Charge your Cell Phone With Sound | How?? Readmore..!!!

It happened again, I was 50 miles from home with a million things that needed to be done, when I got a flat tire, and my cell phone was dead. I didn’t have a charger, I was in the middle of nowhere, and I had to get to a dentist appointment AND I pick my daughter up at school. Why is it the phone never goes dead while I’m texting nonsense to my best friend in Minnesota?Someday, days like today could be a distant memory, as electrical engineers in South Korea are currently working on a system that can convert everyday sound into energy, so imagine if you will, a world where cell phones can recharge themselves as people speak into them. The technology...
