Technology News And Updates

As the time is rolling on, the inventors using its creativity and producing inventions time to time, which are helpful and beneficial in all aspect of our life. Undoubtedly some of the inventions made a revolution and gave a lot of ease to human being. For example Edison invented the bulb and illuminated the dark world.

Here are inventions which are giving ease to all of us and surely the inventors are making a lot of money.

         Pet Rock

You can’t invent a rock, but the mad inventor Gary Dahl who was an advertiser of California, think over to decorate and sell rocks in this way that sell like hotcakes.

He was a creative minded person, so he bought ordinary and cheap gray pebbles from a construction company and sold them as pets, attached with painted models face. Surely it was a good marketing not anything extraordinary. It is the pet, which are not needed to be fed or cleaned.

It is interesting that the buyer could talk to it, name it and teach it fishy tricks. Most of them are outlined in a joyful manner included with the pet. A lot of buyers painted themselves in their own way to make it personal. Originally the price of Pet Rocks was $3.95 but due to its high demand it is now selling at $16. You will be surprise to know that the creator Dahl has sold these rocks more than 5 millions in only six months. He earned $56 million up till now. There is a facility that you may buy them on internet.

         Tamagotchi

This is also a pet which is very much on sale nowadays on this planet, became at its peak at the end of 20th century. This is a small, egg-typed device having a black & white LCD screen and a honking animal kept inside. A Japanese toymaker Bandai first introduced this device in market.

How it works

When you turned the Tamagotchi on and allot a name to it, then feed your given name by buttons of the device. The animal will play games and will become sleepy when it will be tired. It is design to make the copy of a real pet such as dog & cat. If you will take care of Tamagotchi nicely, it will change its versions. The pet required a continuous take care other wise it may “die”. To start it once again, you have to reset it. When it came into market it sold near about 70 million. They sell one Tamagotchi/ second, making it creator millionaire.

         The Singing Fish

This is an electronic fish like Rocky Rainbow Trout, started singing when you go closer to it. The appearance is just like a fish which may be mounted on a wooden board, and then the board may be mounted on the wall. The activation started when you push a button, a sensor activates the fish and it started singing, when any unknown person comes near it.

The device was created by a toy company of Texas. The buyers well liked it warmly, and the sale goes up high, so it became a great success for its company. In the starting year the singing fish sell about a million.

The stark hand

It is an artificial hand which is specially design for NASA. It moves easily and works like an electronic hand. The story behind the invention is like this:

A boy named Dave Vogt, when born has not his left hand by nature. A scientist Stark created an electronic hand for him and the hand has three knuckles (Which have a joint of a finger when the fist is closed). These knuckles can be bent according to the wish of the Vogt and he may catch the things easily. Interesting thing is that the Vogt may open all of his fingers freely by the moment of his shoulder that triggers a lever to extract. This artificial hand is really magical, because the Vogt may grip an egg with politeness and as well as drag a heavy chair.

When Vogt used this hand a ball is thrown towards him, he caught the ball with his artificial hand and certified that he is no more disabled and may do his work like a normal person.

A company named Edison Nation helps the inventors to develop their ideas selected the electronic hand for commercial production.

Dynamic eye sunglasses

Inventor: Chris Mullin

When a doctor Chris Mullin used to go to his laboratory 35 miles away from his house, the sunrays directly hit his eyes. The high penetrating rays cause headaches and give him trouble to see properly. Thus he decided to make a sunglass that may block the sunrays and protect his eyes. In 2002 he got a chance to work over his idea.

As lens material, he used a liquid crystal. The liquid crystal doesn’t give any obstruction to see through as a sunglass lens. Then he added a sensor on the bridge of the nose which finds limelight and gives a signal to a microcontroller attached nearby. The microcontroller reacts and gives instruction to the liquid-crystal lens to produce a 6 mm black square in front of the eyes to block the limelight. Surprisingly the square moves with the glass wearer to block the source of limelight at all the angles, but still gives a gap on the surroundings to let see properly.

Mullin is now developing an elastically plastic-based LCD, so that the product may be lighter and damage proof to sale in market on commercial scale.

The U.S Air Force has appreciated Mullin work and has funded in his project. Now he is working on developing a sunglass for soldiers & fighter pilots. Mullin claims that troops may go in high-noon sun onto the other place without any harm in illumination. The sight of the sunglass wearer will not be damaged. They may be able to see at the very moment after walking into sun. The scientist doctor making a plan to sell the idea to any of the big manufacturer of sunglass, so that they produce this Dynamic Eye shades commercially.
