MAKE HOMEMADE JET PACK

Haven’t you always wanted to know how to build one of these? I have. Well, maybe not exactly; however, jet packs or rocket packs are geeky and cool, and always will be.A young pilot stumbles onto a prototype jetpack that allows him to become a high flying masked hero.When Eddie Valentine and his gang learn that Neville Sinclair is a Nazi, they quit working for him and join up with the FBI agents against the Nazi thugs hidden in the shadows. This reflects the attitude of real-life American gangsters during this era, in that they did not like fascism, particularly because Benito Mussolini persecuted the Sicilian Families back in the Old Country. Nor did any Jewish mobsters like Adolf Hitler. In fact, organized crime was one of the biggest allies the American government and law enforcement had when it came to rooting out Nazi spies and collaborators.The plane flown by Cliff in the opening is the Gee Bee racer, specifically Model "Z" from 1931. It was built by the Granville Brothers Aircraft Company (brothers Zantford, Thomas, Robert, Mark, and Edward), hence the plane's initials "G.B." The R-1 was for a time the fastest land-plane in the world, essentially a cockpit, wings, and tail built around an 800 hp Pratt & Whitney Wasp engine. James Doolittle (who would lead the bombing raid over Tokyo in 1942) won the 1932 Thompson Trophy race flying a Gee Bee R-1 at a speed of 252.686 miles per hour.

It’s fun to think about what it would be like to put on a jet pack, hit the buttons on the handles and fly up in the sky, Buzz Lightyear style. After all, we’ve been watching them in the movies for years. People everywhere have tried to make homemade jet packs. You can find the videos all over YouTube.




Allison (love that geeky girl), over at Instructables (love that geeky site), made a rocket pack from items you can pretty much find in your recycle bin. She was inspired by the 1991 movie “The Rocketeer.” You can make this for a costume or just for some random weekend fun. Better yet, wear it to impress that geeky guy you’ve had a crush on for a while. All you’ll need is some empty soda bottles, some empty shampoo bottles, an empty jam container, some empty cardboard cereal boxes and a paper towel tube. You can read step-by-step how to put it all together here. According to her personal blog, Allison says this cost her a total of $0 to make. Nice job!

DEVICE USERS LETS CUT POWER CORDS GO WIRELESS

Nikola Tesla first discovered wireless power back in the 1890s  he made few more that other story of him he was from european born son , and yet more than a century later we're still stuck with cumbersome cables, at the mercy of the nearest wall outlet to power up the gadgets we increasingly rely on. Thank Tesla for made that, :There are signs that the electronics industry is finally putting wireless charging technology to good use.

“Wireless" power can mean two things: One is inductive charging, which requires the transmitter and receiver to make physical contact; it's what charges your electric toothbrush as it sits in its tray. The other is trickier, and more exciting: wireless power based on magnetic resonance allows for a longer-range transmission, creating a sort of ambient, omnipresent charge. So theoretically you could walk into a room and your device would start magically charging from a energy being beamed down  from several feet away.is ready scotty  yes sir captain star log 2014 there seen to be move in 25 century our earth people. spock  that sounds logoic

Inductive chargers for mobile devices have been around for several years, but now the nascent technology is starting to take off. Samsung, Google, and Apple's smartphones and tablets all support cord-less power via cases and covers, and new gadget startups have launched similar portable chargers.

Inductive charge also powers the Power mat devices popping up in public spaces like airports and restaurants. It means that in the near future—and in some businesses already—you'll be able to set your phone down on the table next to you and it'll charge up while you're waiting for your meal.

That's still slightly more convenient than toting around a power cable, and certainly better than that panic-stricken moment when you're out and about, your smartphone dies, and you realize you’re completely lost without the internet in your pocket. But truly wireless ambient power that can charge your phone without any physical contact is the “science fiction becomes science fact” dream. That capability is considerably further into the future, but nevertheless, it’s in the works.

To wit: The Alliance for Wireless Power recently launched a device called Rezence, showcased at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last week. The "long-range" charger can reach a couple inches—enough to beam the power through a tabletop, so you can screw the transmitter under a table and charge a phone by just resting it on the surface. According to the MIT Technology Review, all the major players are thinking about adopting the Rezence device.

SUPERIOR CHARGING RANGE

A superior charging range allowing for a true drop and go charging experience, through almost any surface and through objects such as books and clothing.

READY FOR THE REAL WORLD

Charging surfaces powered by Rezence will operate in the presence of metallic objects such as keys, coins, and utensils, making it an ideal choice for automotive, retail, and kitchen applications.

The group is one of three competing industry standards whose battle to be the primary protocol has kept wireless power in a relative standstill for half a decade: the Wireless Power Consortium’s Qi standard, the Power Matters Alliance standard, which the Powermat and iPhone use, and the Alliance for Wireless Power’s A4WP standard. Last month, two of the groups merged, loosening some of the gridlock.

That might help speed along the other long-range wireless devices in the works: A company called Witricity has demonstrated prototypes with larger coils that can power electronics from about a meter away, and the startup uBeam is developing a similar wireless charging system that TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington called “the closest thing to magic I’ve seen in a long time.”

And it's not just your the cell phone charger that's on its way to becoming obsolete. Next-gen wireless power could one day be used to charge larger electronics like your computer or TV. Apple won a patent in December for a system that would use near-field magnetic resonance to charge a room full of Apple products.

It could take years, but the tangled piles of cables filling up power strips tucked behind furniture will eventually seem as antiquated as landline phones and dial-up. Wireless power, instead, could one day turn your whole house into a sort of energy field to charge the future smart home.

SMARTWATCH PACK'S MORE Features Than ALL Other SmartWatches .

The number of smartwatches made available to us is on the rise and with every new one comes new innovative features. So far there has yet to be a smartwatch that completely outsmart all smartwatch in the past competition.  I never thought that such a watch would come from a startup, especially one looking for funding. The new Neptune Pine smartwatch is currently the most advanced and powerful one on the market.

Pine, (as the smartwatch is called), was developed by Neptune, a company located in Montreal, Canada. If you are looking for a small subtle smartwatch, then the Neptune Pine is perhaps not the watch you are looking for. It is large but packs more advanced features than any other smartwatch on the market. It even rivals the most popular smartphones, and this even before it has been introduced to consumers.

I could probably sit here all day writing out the features that this powerhouse of a smartwatch has incorporated. However, I am just going to mention the most important features as not to bore you with a lot of specs.


First off, the Neptune Pine runs on a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor and with it you will get to enjoy features like Voice Calls, Video Calls and SMS Texting, Full QWERTY Keyboard, Complete web experience, Dual Cameras and Dual Flash, Rear-facing 5 megapixel camera, Voice Recognition, and it of course has the standard accelerometer and all the other stuff that all smartphones have incorporated today.

Battery life is exceptionally good as well sporting 120 hours standby, 10 hours music, 8 hours talk time and 7 hours browsing. So do you need a smartphone to utilize all of these features? Nope! That’s the awesome part about the Neptune Pine smartwatch. All you need is a SIM card, and you are ready to go. Believe me when I say it, the Neptune Pine smartwatch is packing more features than all other smartwatches together. The expected retail price for this watch is set at around $335.00. Simply put, the Neptune Pine smartwatch is innovation defined.
