Curious Technology on TFTS - Page 4

So it’s concept day at TFTS and I have another offering to titivate your eyeballs with. The OLED laptop is a concept scroll type laptop designed for Nokia by Rodrigo Mercado.

Anyone who reads my posts will know my fascination with conceptual designs and here is another that has blown my mind away. The “Rotation” bike designed by Yirong Yang is a revolutionary design we hope makes it to reality.

I love my bizarre inventions as much as Dr. Evil and James Bond, but this baby is beyond bizarre! The Shooter Fire Extinguisher makes you feel like you have just stepped off of an episode of Star Wars.

 
Now here’s a nifty little gizmo I can’t wait for – The Virtual Mirror is set to make life that in the mall that much easier by taking out the pain of trying on tons of clothes while looking for that perfect garment.

Ok, now I’ve heard it all. In fact, I’m pretty much ready to say I’ve seen my 1001 things before I die after this new “fandangled” concept AKA the Solar Powered Necktie with cell phone pouch (thanks to photovoltaic film cells).

Just when I thought life couldn’t get any stranger, I find this beauty online! The NoseVac. Now seriously, vacuuming your nose? Have we become THAT lazy that we are unable to utilize an ordinary tissue, a pair of tweezers and our basic bodily functions, I ask?

Imagine a pen that could do everything from translate words, to record lectures and even directly post to facebook just by writing on a piece of paper! Now stop imagining … it’s here!

We’re at somewhat of a loss as far as this seemingly curious gadget is concerned as we cannot quite fathom why you would want an LCD display stuck to the inside of your car’s rear window displaying your phone number – unless, of course, you’ve looked in the mirror and …

Following on from our extremely popular posts concerning the B-52 Ejector Seat Office Chair and the B-747 Engine Cowling Reception Desk we simply could not resist offering a quick post concerning this AIM-9 Sidewinder Air to Air Missile Lamp self assembly kit (not least because, whilst the lamp is pretty …

Created as an experiment by Billy Chasen who cites those exploded diagrams of objects as inspiration, though we agree with a commenter that comparisons can also be drawn with some of Damien Hirst’s installations (particularly his animal installations), this exploded iPod MP3 player cast in clear resin purportedly still functions …
