Active Denial System

The Active Denial System fires a beam of millimeter-wave radiation. It make people feel like their skin is burning without causing any permanent damage. Though promising as a nonlethal weapon, the pain ray has some serious limits.

On a rainy day, water droplets will disperse the beam, and it may feel warm and refreshing instead of frightening. On a hot day, the cooling system might give out. The problems don’t stop there. Raytheon’s baby is bulky, and despite repeated requests to send it into battle, shipments of the energy weapon have been delayed. The military is looking for a stronger, lighter weapon.

Bracelet phone



Concept phones are becoming very popular these days. The stranger their shape is, the more popular they get. Probably that’s why this bracelet phone got so many fans or because it has a round dialer on it, like in old land phones. So this phone is kinda like the combo of vintage and techno. Should be call Vin-Tech.

eRoll : The future for readers




eRoll could be the future of e-reading, along with iPad and another gadget that will be presented in this article. If you don’t want it to read ebooks on it, you can use it as a self defense weapon. I hope it is sturdy enough to hit people with.

Bio Robot Refrigerator

The Bio Robot fridge cools biopolymer gel through luminescence. It might look stinky and sticky but it’s actually an odorless gel that envelopes the food.But if you ask me, it kinda ruins the appetite.


Babelfisk Recorder Spectacles

In case you’re getting lazy in classes these wonderful glasses will give you some help. They have two microphones that can be directed to where someone is speaking and you have text and audio recorded into a flash drive. So this is a somewhat good news for someone who is having trouble staying up during lectures.



AFGT Gaming Device




This gadget seems to be the holy grail of the gaming world. Its interesting feature is the tactile feedback that is used to enhance the gaming experience. This very interesting gadget is made out of touch sensitive silicon, to be more specific, silicon air pockets, each with a pressure generator. It would be nice if a comfort feature is available for all those gamers that like to get lost in their cyber world for hours non-stop. A water-proof feature is also a good thing that should be included.

Window phone concept

Is it a window, is it a phone? No. Actually, it’s Window phone and this is the part where you are saying “Whaaat? What are you talking about?”. The phone is actually a concept with extraordinary features. Surely if this could be actually put into production, it would set a new standard for the term “cool”. People nowadays look more into style than into the functions themselves. But if this phone is gonna be mass produced, a mass of people would be on their way to get it. There is also the matter of energy and durability. Will it break easily or is it some kind of diamond-alloy material?
