California inventor Donald Scruggs and the Screw-in Coffin, Scruggs’ has been granted a patent on the last gadget you’ll ever need. It is a giant, screw-shaped coffin into which are loaded your expired meat and bones, ready to be twisted into the ground. The idea is that coffin would then be torqued into the ground, either by machine or even by hand. From the patent application: “[the] burial containers…provide low cost internment methods with hermetic sealing, security locking, plaque and memorial markers and built in flower and flag receptacles…” AGK
The EyeSeeCam is a rig that can record what the eyes of its user really see. Unrestricted user mobility and field of view as well as the utilization of biological image stabilization reflexes are main benefits of EyeSeeCam. Using an array of cleverly placed speedy cameras:
“Two cameras measure your eye positions in 3D at super-fast speeds, up to 600 Hz, watching your eyes via an acrylic reflector. AGK
Anthony Le, a fan of Iron Man, he has built his own Iron Man suit, with its dent-proof exterior, motorized faceplate and spinning mock Gatling gun, LEDs in the eyes…
How It Works
Time: 1 Month
Cost: $4,000+
WEAPONRY
Le built a replica of the machine gun on the suit’s shoulder out of PVC pipes and other materials. He added a small motor and belt drive to make the cylindrical gun spin like the real thing. To activate it, he presses a button in the palm of the suit’s glove. He says the gun could also be converted into a paintball shooter.
POWER
Le built an LED-based replica of Iron Man alter ego Tony Stark’s arc reactor for the chest, but unlike the movie version, it doesn’t actually power the suit. Instead, all the LEDs and the motors that drive the gun and the faceplate have their own batteries hidden within the suit’s large frame.
CONTROLS
Inside the chestplate, Le added a hands-free button that activates the helmet. When the faceplate is open, he just stands up and points his arm forward, causing his chest to press against the button, triggering the servo motors in the helmet to close the mask. This, in turn, switches on the red LEDs set inside the eye openings, which are large enough for him to also see out of. To open the mask up again, he presses another button.
BACKUP
Le says he focused on the War Machine suit, donned by Stark’s buddy Jim Rhodes in Iron Man 2, in part because “it just looks more hardcore.” But he also built a new-and-improved replica of the suit that Iron Man himself wears in the film, the Mark VI. That version also has the LEDs and motorized faceplate but, alas, no cannon.
So dope!! AGK
