After France you come, stay in a bubble

Some of you may remember when we this story about the Igloo village in Finland, fall, which remain in glass igloos while observing the guests of the northern lights.

A French designer named Stéphane Dumas came up with a similar model with sleeves bubble for the observation of the stars at night. Thanks to an airlock at the entrance and a quiet pump that creates pressure, these rooms have always their bubble form.

There's a video after the jump, what you look like these rooms to see. You have that white look of the sixties and seventies's science fiction movies, and the transparent ceiling looks calm. Just so you know, this room from recycled plastic are manufactured.

I like the look of the room from the video, but I wish there were more private. Not only, everyone can see what you are doing in the bubble, but there is a toilet in the room, the only a few metres from the bed. For couples, this could be a stay to indicate a little.

My source says that one night is $700, but I hope that this price includes rent the park for the night. The video says, that it approximately $283.

Shadowhawk UAV, a tiny copter, the after you can

What you see here is not a toy helicopter, but the Shadowhawk UAV (unmanned air vehicle).

This helicopter is about 49 pounds, and you probably want to watch the video after the jump to see it in action. According to my source is the Shadowhawk already to track pirates in used in the Horn of Africa. Apparently it is on to the law enforce U.S. roads.

It also comes with the option of the turbine or piston aircraft engines, thermal cameras, area fingers and laser-pointer. For those who want some weapons, it is also possible, 37 mm or 40 mm grenade launcher install, 12 gauge shotgun round or even Taser batons.

Seriously, this thing is a flying miniature arsenal! You can see on the video and see that it can travel at a speed of 50 miles an hour. You can also see, what looks like a guy from a tailed. I am surprised that he is not trying to throw a stone onto the Shadowhawk UAV.

Man, I would never in a position to be, where I that chasing me have these things! That would be as they can fly spinning of minority report, but this Shadowhawks. You can also bring me down with some grenades, live round and may be Tasing me.
