Author: Alex  |  Category: Gadgets

Say good bye to traditional Dansko shoes. For those who hates sweeping and vacuuming, there may be a new invention that may be introduced to the market soon that may just make your life much easier. Imagine all you need to do is just walk around and your floor gets cleaned along the way. Home appliance manufacturer, Electrolux, has revealed not too long ago their “vacuum shoe” concept model.  The initial design flooks rather crude but again the main purpose is not to be used outdoor.


For those who are up for the challenge, why not come up with a better design. I will be your first customer 🙂

Water Jetpack

Author: Alex  |  Category: Gadgets


Looking for something and a little extreme. Why not try the Jetlev Flyer? Jetlev Flyer is a tethered water-powered jetpack. A floating pump powered by a four-stroke engine sends pressurized water through a 140-foot-long hose to a pair of nozzles mounted on the jetpack thus creating enough pressure to lift the jetpack and the rider upwards. Invented by the German company MS Watersports GmbH, the water-pressure-powered JetLev-flyer is selling at $128,000. There will be two versions, one with a 155 HP engine and the other with 215 HP. Top speed of the 215 HP model is expected to easily exceed 40 mph (64 km/h), and flight ceiling will still be restricted to 28 feet (8.5 m) for safety reasons.


This maybe something you can offer as a beach side or lake side entertainment.

With global recessions hitting every part of the world, more and more companies will wind up leaving buildings and offices vacant. Meaning, there will be many landlords and owners out there dying for tenants. What else can we do besides using as offices?


How about Carpet Skating? You could probably make your own carpet skates but there are carpet skates sold online that doesn’t really cost too much. Take for example FunSlides. They can be strapped on in seconds right over your shoes and will have you blazing through the cubicles faster than a speeding manager. I can imagine how handy these carpet skates can be. However make sure you get some insurance quotes before you start carpet skating.

You might have seen car lifts being used at automotive workshops, have you seen car lifts being used at home? If not, maybe it is an area you can explore as a business opportunity.


Consider Carlift.ca, a company that provides a solution to small garages and car porches. Carlift.ca came up with an innovative idea to use a hydraulic lift to create more parking space. The technology isn’t complicated. A small electric motor operates a hydraulic pump that moves the hoist up and down.


Look around your neighborhood. If the houses has small car porches and garages, this may just be something that may work.

The reclusive Hungarian inventor hopes to recreate the buzz of Rubik’s Cube with his new game, featuring six balls trapped within three transparent plastic spheres, confronts users with the same frustrating challenge. Players must get the coloured balls from an inner sphere into matching slots on the outer sphere by shaking them through a middle sphere that has only two holes.
