  • Magic: Wingtip Vortices In Fog Created By Landing Plane
    April 23, 2013
    This is a short video of a Swiss Airbus A340 landing at the Zurich airport in heavy fog. Which, as far as fog goes, is probably airplane pilots' least favorite kind. Me? It's my favorite because it makes sneaking around the neighborhood playing ninja assassin easier. Thanks... / Continue →

    January 17, 2013
    This is a video of a Huffington Post reporter playing a game of Fruit Ninja on a Displair, a motion-controlled display projected onto a cloud of vapor. Obviously, Fruit Ninja was the perfect game to play because it really allows you appreciate the potential applications of a s... / Continue →
  • PEW PEW PEW: Inflatable Minigun Arm Attachment
    December 4, 2012
    Doubles as a love doll for serious gun nuts, I'm just saying. This is a $30 (currently on sale for $15) inflatable minigun arm from ThinkGeek. It makes it look like you have a minigun for an arm. No, no it doesn't. It makes it look like you have a pool float for an arm. St... / Continue →
  • That Will Never Work: Umbrella That Repels Rain With Air
    November 7, 2012
    This is the conceptual Air Umbrella from designer Je Sung Park. The idea is that it will blow a canopy of air above the holder that repels rain. Except that will never happen. Now I'm not saying somebody needs to brush up on their physics, but that little air-shield is gonna... / Continue →

    Similar but slightly different than the other versions of airless tires we've seen, Bridgestone is hard at work trying to bring an airless, puncture-proof tire to market. Aaaaaaaand this is what they've got so far. Puke green rims FTW! The idea is similar to Michelin's Tweel... / Continue →
  • Tell Me That's Not A Death Star: 3-D Laser Display
    November 15, 2011
    This is a video of a new 3-D laser display that can "print" 3-D images IN MIDAIR. How? Magic. I know I say that a lot, but I'm actually 99% certain this time. The system has a framerate of just 10-15 FPS right now, although the company is working on bumping that up to 24-30... / Continue →
  • I'd Hit It: Spinosaurus Balloon Dinosaur
    June 13, 2011
    This is a giant balloon Spinosaurus created by Larry Moss. Larry calls his balloon art "airigami" and "the art of folding air" (balloon artists: they can be pretentious). I just call it balloon art. Also, great for a kid's birthday party. Hey mister hey mister -- I want a w... / Continue →
