Shoot the clock the first thing in the morning

We have seen our fair share of various and crazy alarm clocks in the past, but here is something else, you alarm clock, you are actually interested in could "it using the included remote shooting" requires. Yes Sir, this £ 22.95 alarm clock can literally shoot time - if it goes off course. How does it work? Now, is the alarm itself from a fusion of metal and plastic, where the accompanying plastic toy gun the car alarm noise stop when you show the toy gun on a taxi on the alarm clock built in.

The whole idea behind it? To ensure, you are awake enough that you turn off an alarm clock, with this you not go back to sleep, of course. Would be nice, if you can not replace the image of the car with a photo of your nemesis? This particular purchase you a bit more than usual could in the long term, cost, especially if you need a set of AA batteries for the alarm clock and a few AA batteries for the toy gun. I would recommend to go along with this battery.

Second flight of the DARPA HTV-2 will not and also his first

DARPA always comes with some experimental interesting, and the latest is Falcon Hypersonic Technology 2 (HTV-2).

It was a field test was given only today, and it aboard a Minotaur IV Lite rock of Vandenberg Air Force base in California. It was expected to glide across the Pacific Ocean and deliberately splash down Kwajalein Atoll, close to 4,000 miles away at a speed of 13,000 miles per hour.

Unfortunately is it not like things went as planned. DARPA reported tweet, that "not tracking or telemetry again downrange assets." "# HTV2 has an autonomous flight termination function". What you see in the picture is an artistic representation.

It is a pity, because 13,000 mph is more than impressive. At this speed you can go from New York to Los Angeles in about 12 minutes. This is actually the second test for this vehicle, and the impressive result of Mach 17-22 for 139 seconds produces the first flight in April 2010. During the test, even a GPS signal and bi-directional communication hold the common craft.

Hopefully, they are conducted more tests, to determine whether communication signals can be carried out at high speeds. However if this fast flying these aircraft, the aircraft will arrive perhaps faster than it takes the message transfer.

Zike, world's first hybrid Scooter

If you are too old for a Trike and love, a bike to riding, you might want to a Zike. I notice that intro sounds like Dr. Seuss would write something, but the Zike is a real product and is the world roller's first hybrid.

I assume by "hybrid roller", it means that it is the first product that successfully combine a scooter, bicycle, and stair-stepper together. Inventor Nathan Scolari was "forced to combat the childhood obesity epidemic in the United States", and this is what he researched and created.

Zike will introduce four models on the market. The hotshot is, that an entry level model for children aged 5-8. The flyby is the next step for children between 8-12, and it has two chains for faster speeds and increased flexibility. The Slingshot is for children 10 and older, and it has the speed of BMX bike. The Saber (in the picture) is a 7-speed roller for everyone at the age of 12 years and older.

The Zike has been received much media attention, after he on extra with Mario Lopez. Not only have Slater from Saved By The Bell like it, but national experts of doctor gadget he drove on The View. He said the co-hosts that "obesity in children would have a chance not every child in America would have a Zike". It looks like the creator of Zike dreams came true. Read more about the Zike here.
