Plasma Ball USB

May 2nd, 2008


Powered by an included USB cable, this desktop Plasma Ball is about stands about 6 inches high and includes an on/off switch. While it emits a very low current, it does so at a relatively high-voltage and so it does produce some EMF. Respect your plasma ball and will respect you. All this made possible by the evil genius of Nikola Tesla and some science.

This is combination of interesting and fun gasses (like Argon) are first trapped inside a plastic sphere at relatively low pressures. An sporadic current, at relatively high voltages are pumped into the sphere via an electrode in the center. This energy causes atoms to be stripped from the gasses,leaving in its wake some positively charged ions and a gorgeous gaseous and electrically conductive environment (aka Plasma). That high voltage served up through the electrode will now arc up through the plasma to the lower voltage edge of the plastic sphere (starting at the top where the temperature is greater). The arcs glow because they are hotter than the surrounding plasma. You can touch the plastic and the arcs will strongly congregate to your touch because you will be creating an even lower voltage jump from the electrode.

Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series

April 26th, 2008


The car that produced by German automaker Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series seems to be the constant talk of the town in the automotive world these days. The car has been spotted everywhere from the streets of Stuttgart to the famous Nurburgring test track in Germany.

Mercedes-Benz has already admitted that the SL 65 Black Series will be the most extreme Benz ever built. Power will come from a 6.0L V12 twin-turbo engine producing 670-hp with a peak torque of 738 lb-ft. The engine will be mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission with two Sport shift programs with the second putting out quicker gear changes.

So how fast will it go from rest to 62? According to our friends over at CAR that have the low-down on this beast, the SL 65 AMG Black Series will have 0-62 times of under 4.2 seconds with top speed electronically limited to 200mph.

The car will make its debut later this year with sales to start in the fall. Pricing is expected to be over $225,000. It will have a imperfect production run of 350 units.

Nokia Future “Morph”

April 24th, 2008


Nokia and the University of Cambridge exposed a potential phone of the future, called Morph . As part of a new design exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York city,. Why “Morph”? The gadget’s flexible materials would allow you to twist it into different shapes, you could even wear it as a bracelet.

It also boasts a self-cleaning function on the surface that could extend the life of the phone. The concept device is nanotech-inspired, and would serve as a normal phone or mini-computer, complete with keyboard and touchpad. Nokia says some of the technology in Morph could start making its way into real mobile devices within seven years. That sounds like a long time to wait for phones that doubles as an accessory.
