Running a Current Through a Steel Chain Turns It Into a Bad Ass Electric Whip

Running a Current Through a Steel Chain Turns It Into a Bad Ass Electric Whip

I don’t know what compels a person to run an electric current through a steel chain and then prance around with the glowing fire links of metal like it’s some sort of jump rope. But I’m glad such a person exists, because it’s pretty damn cool to see the steel chain transform into this fiery red hot whip that can pop off lightning sparks.

What went … Continue reading

Amazon patents noise-blocking headphones that turn off with a keyword

Last month, Amazon was granted a patent for a pair of noise-cancelling headphones that listen for a specific keyword in order to suspend the noise-cancelling feature. They could, it seems, be set up with something like your name as the keyword, causing the headphones to suspend the noise-cancelling aspect whenever someone nearby says your name. The headphones can also listen … Continue reading

Symgym Gives You a Workout While Playing Video Games

Video games are our favorite pastime, but sitting around games all day will all but surely make you fat and unhealthy. What if I told you that you can get a complete workout while playing video games? That’s what SymGym does with an exercise machine that controls the video game.

symgym_1zoom in

You can pump your arms and your legs to move, turn, dodge, punch, and more. You have to work for that boss battle now! Yes, there are already exercise platforms for video games, like Kinect and Wii, but this is different.

SymGym provides variable resistance based on situations in a game. So, heavy objects in the game are heavy in the machine for instance. Running uphill in the game is physically harder on the player too. This gives you a more engaging gameplay experience, and makes you more fit. It seems like an interesting idea. Let’s hope it works as well as described.

At this point, SymGym isn’t targeting the home fitness market. Instead, they plan on opening gyms where you can work out on their machines at a cost of $15 per session. They hope to open their first location by the end of this year.
