Hasta La Gadget!

Not all of us really pay any attention to the local weather report, but I am quite sure that mom’s actually give a damn – especially those who do not own a dryer, and would need the help of the scorching sun to dry those hand washed clothes out in the open, while a windy day too, would be more than welcome to aid in the evaporation process. However, if you are a curious monkey and want to get one of the weirder accessories for your smartphone, it might be worth the shot to give the Vaavud wireless wind meter a go. The Vaavud wireless wind meter is capable of hooking up to most of the other smartphones around, where it is capable of taking measurements of your environment. Completely free of any kind of electronics, it has been specially tested and calibrated in a wind tunnel at The Technical University of Denmark.

Just what does the Vaavud wireless wind meter offers wind-dependent outdoor enthusiasts like kitesurfers, paragliders, and sailors? Well, they will be able to enjoy the relevant and important information required so that one can best plan the next adventure. Chris Johnson, Founder of BiteMyApple.co., shared “Unlike most weather apps, Vaavud can give you an accurate wind measurement using your iOS or Android phone for a specific location. This one-of-a-kind tool takes the guess work out of trip planning. Like all great products, you can share this information online, and check out live wind readings from other users on an interactive map.”

The Vaavud is capable of measuring wind speeds of up to 25 metre per second, and not only that, knowing that those who pick it up will more often than not be of the adventurous sort, which is why it has also been specially built to be resistant to water, sand, and dirt among others. As we mentioned earlier, the Vaavud’s revolutionary design contains no electronics at all, which makes it all the more durable and hardy. It will play nice with all iOS devices, the Samsung Galaxy S2, S3I, and S4, retailing for $44.99 a pop.

While some of us are extremely meticulous with our belongings, which means we have never lost anything in our lives before – even down to the smallest detail, including keys and wayward buttons that are being transported to the tailor so that it can be reunited with whichever blouse or shirt that it was detached from. Well, not everyone is like that – and I am quite sure that you have experienced moments before that involved walking to the car only to realize that your car keys are back home, requiring you to make that trek back just to look for a particular bunch of keys. KEEO intends to ensure that something like this will never happen again, as it will rely on Bluetooth connectivity in tandem with a smartphone app so that your small items will always be located easily. The KEEO is 100% made in Germany, a country that is synonymous with superb precision engineering, so hopefully the KEEO will be able to live up to such a reputation.

Right now, the KEEO has yet to enter production because it is in the process of collecting enough funds from the masses, and should this crowdfunding project actually manage to achieve its financial target, then do expect the KEEO to begin shipping from January next year onwards. Just a little bit of background information, the KEEO’s crowdfunding campaign kicked off on July 23rd last month, and the moment it hits 1,500 orders, production will commence.

I guess when you have the integrated Bluetooth chip around, it is more or less impossible to lose your KEEO device, simply because the KEEO and your smartphone will alert you whenever the two are separated. Hmmm, I guess these would be devices that are meant to be together for life, just like any sweet marriage. Not only that, a Plug ‘N’ Screw system would make it a snap to hook up your keys to KEEO without the need for any modification, while the One Button Control would let the correct key pop out with a single push of the button.

I am quite sure that the legions of fans of what Marvel Studios has done with their comic book franchises will be looking forward to the arrival of the Thor sequel, where it will be known as The Dark World. The Norse god of Thunder, Thor, has been reunited with Mjolnir, the mystical uru hammer that cannot be lifted by anyone other than the one who is worthy to wield it. However, everything has its price, which is why for just $24.99, you will be able to pick up the Thor Lightning Energy Hammer. Sure, it might not be the actual Mjolnir, but at the very least you could get your imagination going, can’t you?

The Thor Lightning Energy Hammer will be able to flash with light and sound of its own, but you are able to add your very own vocal sound effects if you wish to do so, letting out the inner child in you along the way. It might not be able to cut down Frost Giants with impunity, but it does double up as a metal detector, sporting a light-up display base with an energy charge coin that bears Thor’s emblem. Powered by a couple of AAA batteries instead of magic, any kid worth his or her salt would definitely want to have this by their bedside table – and some adults too, I believe.

As we get older, our bodies start to break down – that is an undeniable fact of life, one which no one is able to escape from. The thing is, many have searched for the mythical fountain of youth over the years to no avail, simply because there is no such thing that exists. Eventually, death would catch up with us all, but before that day arrives, and your body is aching all over due to numerous reasons – a sports injury, chronic pain, here is a tool that might just help you out of a particularly painful situation – the $199.95 Infrared Pain Relieving Wrap.

The Infrared Pain Relieving Wrap happens to be a flexible wrap that boasts of 63 integrated LEDs which will work together to deliver far infrared therapy so that it can help you relieve your back pain. The kind of technology used was developed by NASA in order to heal astronauts’ injuries, making it ideal for stimulating blood circulation, relieving swelling in joints, and loosening tight muscles in all parts of the body. In fact, LED far infrared therapy has been depicted in a study at the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin in Milwaukee to reduce painful inflammation by up to 37%. Your arms will remain nice and free when using the Infrared Pain Relieving Wrap, since it will secure itself to your back, knee, shoulder, arm, or leg thanks to a 40″-long flexible strap.

There are bicycles, and then there is the next step up – electric bicycles, which would definitely come in handy especially when you live in extremely hilly areas such as San Francisco. Of course, purists would want to argue against the presence of electric bicycles in the market, touting that it takes away the experience of pushing your physical self to the limit, but others who are more practical would not mind getting some assistance from technological advancements, too. The thing is, purchasing an electric bicycle outright from the market could be pretty expensive, as the cost could run into a few thousand for the higher end models, which is why the Rubbee device that you see here – a Kickstarter project that is extremely close to achieving its funding goal with four days left, could be a viable alternative.

The Rubbee is an easy conversion device which will be able to transform your current, manually powered (pedal powered in other words) bicycle into an electric one, taking just a matter of seconds to get the job done. The Rubbee would tip the scales at just 14 lbs, and it is capable of offering assistance as you cycle for up to 15 miles of travel on a full charge, hitting a top speed of 15 mph along the way, courtesy of its integrated battery pack which carries a full charge of 20,000 mAh. The Rubbee will take approximately 2 hours to fully juice up, so you can always do so at the end of the day so that it can be ready to jump into action the next morning.

Installation of the Rubbee is simple and painless – you need not have to tinker around with wires and tools the way a standard conversion kit requires you to, but rather, it boasts of a design which was specially intended to reduce wear on your bike’s wheel, where kinetic force will then charge the Rubbee’s battery pack, and if you need a break during the ride, you can also ensure that the tire does not touch the Rubbee. Would the £799 price tag slapped on the Rubbee hold you back from picking one up?
