Umbrella Replacement: A Stick that Shoots Air at the Rain?

The creator of Kickstarter campaign claims that they have developed an umbrella that pushes air against rain and it manages to prevent the owner from getting wet. The device passed by a funding of $10,000 and they decided to call it Air Umbrella.

There are still a lot of questions and doubts for this new product.  Is it for real? Is it a complicated solution to a simple problem? Is it can be easily solved by using a normal umbrella? What is the difference between this product with the normal umbrella? And is the Air umbrella looks a little bit weird?

The creators of Air Umbrella have not responded to our questions.  However, if we take a look on the Kickstarter’s FAQ section for some answer, it is stated there that it has been tested with rain coming from any angle.

The Marbel: Smart Skateboard With 20MPH Speed

There has been a lot of talk about electrical skateboards and many companies have presented their products in the market. But unlike others, the Marbel electrical skateboard is designed with such features that people who haven’t skateboarded in the past will find it interesting.

The Marbel electrical skateboard can be controlled with a Smartphone through an app. The makers of the board claim that it is the lightest skateboard ever created with weight of only 9.9 pounds. It is made from Kevlar and carbon fiber which are light yet reliable.

The Marbel skateboard runs up to 10 miles with only single charge and in just 90 minutes its battery fills up from empty to full. The skateboard has enough power to climb steep hills so you hardly have to use your foot for crossing terrains.

The Marbel can travel pretty fast with reaching up to 20MPH speed. With this speed, you can travel with the speed of a bicycle but you don’t have to even break a sweat. Just take proper safety precautions and wear helmet and pads if you want to travel with top speed.

The skateboard can be controlled with a wireless handheld device. The device gives you the options to accelerate and use brakes. The device can be tuned with an app that lets you select the maximum speed, acceleration and choose the riding mode. The app gives you complete control over the performance of your skateboard.

The app can tell you how far you can go with your skateboard with the remaining battery charge. However, if you run out of battery you always have the option of manually riding the skateboard.

The skateboard currently costs $1200 (or $2000 with custom colors) at Kickstarter campaign which has reached its goal already. The skateboard will start shipping from October this year.

Niwa – World’s First Smartphone-Controlled Growing System – Makes it Possible to Incorporate Rural Living with City Means

 

This era advocates healthy living, as ironic as it seems with all the technology around us now. Despite the people we see everyday looking down on their phones, busy with their tablets and isolating themselves from their environment, the other half of the world actually do efforts to improve their lifestyle – going to the gym after work, trying different kinds of diets, going outdoors on free days. What more could we add to this? Growing our own food? It seems a little impossible to materialize with the city life, but what if technology gives us a little help? Interesting, right?

This is where Niwa comes in the picture. The world’s first ever smartphone-controlled growing system. It is an automated hydrophonic grow box that can do the trick for the inner gardener in us amidst all the city lights, pollution and industrialization. Every step in the whole growing process is automated. The grow box is designed to bring out the perfect environment needed to produce healthy plants. It controls the humidity, temperature, light cycles, even the irrigation system. Basically, all you need to provide are information about the plants you want to grow, so it can make adjustments for its specific needs, and a monitoring system, which an app for iOS and Android can easily pull off.

This whole project is an initiative to show the world that it’s time to change how we grow, eat and live. Keep chemicals away from your meals and grow your own produce. You can now have your own little garden on a tiled-floor. It turns out that continuous progress on technology is not that detrimental at all. All Niwa units are predicted to be delivered on Jan 2015. Stay tuned for updates!
