Electronic Drink Caddie is like a secret beverage dispenser for the James Bond among golfers. It’s made to look like a genuine golf club, but is actually made of durable, high-density plastic. The caddie can hold up to 54 ounces of a drink, and keep it well insulated and at your prefered temperature for nearly 5 hours. A built-in motor dispenses drinks at the push of a button. Costs $100.

DIY Flamethrower Is A Mosquito Exterminator


Mosquitoes will learn fear, and they will never dare get close to a superhuman who totes a flamethrower for killing them. All it requires is a bottle of hair spray and an old bicycle handlebar with breaks, and you’re good to go. Lightyears ahead in manliness compared to the other mosquito-killing methods, use it one time too many and you could land in a jail or a straightjacket.

Evertune Always Keeps The Guitar Tuned


Evertune debuted at CES with the promise that you’d never have to tune the guitar again, which bodes well for those who really don’t like doing this stuff, or spend a lot of time on tuning. It employs “an adaptive spring-tensioner” which compensates for the loosening of the strings or tuner posts. For those interested in the effects and more details, here’s the link to Evertune’s FAQs.

Light Touch Projection Can Potentially Convert Any Surface Into A Touchscreen


Using a compact projector as the main unit, UK based company Light Blue Optics (LBO) has developed a system that can transform virtually any flat surface into a touchscreen unit. The system uses holographic laser projection technology to convert the simple projected display into an interactive one. Infra-red touch sensors detect the user’s finger movement, and respond in a way similar to touchscreens. It puts up a 10-inch display and includes built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, the projector itself runs Adobe Flash Lite 3.1. The system was unveiled at CES, and there’s no word on pricing or availability.

World’s Smallest Working Model Train


The world’s smallest working model of a train measures a very diminutive 1/8 of an inch by 1/4 of an inch. Created by David Smith, this model train is going to be an addition to a much larger project, the fictitious James River Branch village. This village is a model that Smith has been creating for the past two and a half years, and the train model will be placed in the village’s model shop as part of “recreation.” A two-inch rotating motor head helps the train chug along on the mouldable plastic base. The train cost £6 ($10) to build and is nearly a 1:35200 scale model.
