The lack of support infrastructure is one of the
major hurdles for alternative fuel vehicles that use batteries and
hydrogen fuel cells. Honda’s vision for solar-powered home-based hydrogen production station
is one effort to ease the transition from fossil to alternative fuels
and now the company has revealed plans to trial a solar-powered public
EV charging station and conduct testing of a range of electric vehicles
and technologies in real-world urban transportation environments,
starting with Japan. Read More
Created by an 11 year old boy from Pennsylvania,
USA, Dzdock One is a one-size-fits-all dock for iPhone, iPad, Kindle and
other styles of tablets or smart phones. The design started off as a
father son challenge, where young Dino Zaharakis’ was promised that if
he could design an iPad dock and web-site to market it, he could get a
phone. A big challenge for anyone, the youngster took it all the way and
has successfully designed, manufactured and marketed the Dzdock One.

New system automatically classifies undersea noises in real time
By Ben Coxworth
December 19, 2010
It’s always upsetting to hear about whales
beaching themselves, and one of the leading theories on the phenomenon
suggests that it may sometimes be due to noise pollution in the oceans.
Whales navigate and communicate via sound, so it’s entirely possible
that human-introduced noises (such as those produced by ships, oil rigs,
or naval navigational beacons) could confuse them, and throw them off
course – it has even been posited that noises such as military sonar
could deafen or kill them. In an effort to better understand the link
between ocean noises and whale well-being, researchers from Spain’s
Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) have developed a first-ever
system that identifies undersea sounds – both human and cetacean – in
real time. Read More
Portable solar chargers like the U-Powered solar charger
from Kiwi Choice are a handy way to keep mobile devices like
smartphones, cameras and media players topped up with electricity while
on the go. But if you’re looking for a more convenient way to carry a
solar charger with you then the GO Solar Power Collection line of
clothing from Silvr Lining could prove a good fit. It comprises a range
of clothing items that feature pockets to house solar panels to charge
up mobile electronic devices. Read More
If there’s one model of car that has generated
more than its fair share of concept vehicles it’s the MINI. The 2008
Paris Motor Show saw the debut of the MINI Crossover, the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show brought us the MINI Coupé, and a year ago the MINI Beachcomber
was revealed ahead of its public debut at the 2010 NAIAS. A year on
from the Beachcomber and ahead of its public debut at the 2011 NAIAS,
MINI is unveiling the MINI Paceman Concept, a vehicle it calls “the
first Sports Activity Coupé in the premium small segment." Read More
Trees make a huge contribution to the green
infrastructure of our towns and cities, both in carbon sequestration and
aesthetics, yet the economical value of them is often forgotten leading
them to be undervalued or seen as a nuisance. The i-Tree tool aims to
change the way people see trees – it is a freely available software
suite from the US Forest Service which provides analysis,
benefit-calculations and assessment tools to quantify the contribution
made by trees in the urban environment to allow communities to
understand the economic benefit of protecting our urban forests. Read More
Study suggests that wind turbines could benefit crops
By Paul Ridden
December 19, 2010
Researchers from the Ames Laboratory and the
University of Colorado have spent a few months wandering through corn
fields on farms in the Midwest to gather information on how wind
turbines interact with surrounding farm land. The data collected so far
indicates that the turbines may offer more than the sustainable
production of electricity, they may also benefit surrounding crops by
helping them stay cooler and dryer, fight off attack from fungi and
toxins and improve CO2 extraction. Read More
BMW's new 1 series M luxury pocket projectile
December 19, 2010
There's a new member of the racetrack-inspired
BMW M club – the BMW 1 Series M Coupe. While the compact 2-door might be
pitched at a broader "everyday use" market than its predecessors, fans
who fear the diluting of the M series pedigree need not worry, as
high-performance is still high-priority. The M Coupe packs a 250 kW/340
bhp punch from its in-line 6-cylinder TwinPower Turbo petrol engine
(that's 25% more than the original M1 produced in the late 70's) and
reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) from a standing start in 4.9 seconds. Read More
Good news for dieters everywhere – stop trying
not to think about that yummy treat because imagining eating it may
actually reduce your desire to eat it! New research from
Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) contradicts the recognized wisdom that
thinking about food will increase cravings, as their study suggests that
simply imagining the consumption of a food decreases ones appetite for
it. Read More
EMILY rescues swimmers when lifeguards can't
By Ben Coxworth
December 19, 2010
Riptides can carry hapless swimmers out into the
ocean very quickly – by the time a lifeguard is able swim out to rescue
them, it may be too late. Using a Jet Ski to reach struggling swimmers
is one option, although such watercraft can be expensive, problematic to
store on-site, and difficult to launch for one person. Now, seaside
municipalities can get something cheaper and easier for reaching those
swimmers-in-distress: an electric remote-control motorized rescue buoy
called EMILY. Read More
360-degree music video pushes the boundaries of interactive content
By Loz Blain
December 20, 2010
We've written before about 360-degree video (here demonstrated with an awesome interactive video that puts you in a base-jumper's shoes)
- it's effectively like watching a video in Google Street View mode,
where you can look any direction you like using the mouse. Now, Dutch
360-degree video company yellowBird has announced a hookup with YouTube
that lets users post 360-degree videos in their YouTube channels. And
the first major production is a 360-degree music video clip that
challenges the role of the film director and stretches the boundaries of
interactive entertainment. Read More
A 2008, researchers led by György Horvath MD,
PhD, found that dogs could be trained to literally sniff out cancer. In
their study, the researchers were able to train dogs to distinguish
different types and grades of ovarian cancer, including borderline
tumors. Horvath, together with professor Thomas Linblad from KTH Royal
Institute of Technology and researcher Jose Chilo from Gävle University,
has now created an electronic nose that can accomplish the same task.

Electrics can be sexy: the new Mission R superbike
By Loz Blain
December 20, 2010
It seems electric racebikes are starting to come of age; Mission One
has unveiled a new machine for its 2011 TTXGP campaign, and it takes a
giant step forward in aesthetics from the blunt, overly futuristic look
of the original Mission One.
This is an electric racer with real class and presence, not to mention
160 mph performance and superbike-spec Swedish suspension bits. The
Mission R is one of a new breed of electric superbikes with a
custom-built frame, rather than gutting a petrol-powered sportsbike and
stuffing it with battery cells. And it's proof positive that
next-generation green performance machines will have every bit the
loin-stirring ability of their fossil-fueled forebears. Read More
Aerowatch: Horological Machine No. 4 Thunderbolt
By Ben Coxworth
December 20, 2010
If you enjoy building model airplanes as a boy,
and become a designer of high-end watches as an adult, what do you end
up doing? If you're Maximilian Büsser, you create a watch that resembles
an airplane – and that costs as much as one, too. That’s the story
behind the new watch from Switzerland’s MB&F (Maximilian Büsser
& Friends), the Horological Machine No. 4 Thunderbolt. The 50-jewel
titanium and sapphire timepiece looks like it might wrench itself free
of your wrist and start performing inside loops in the sky ... given
that it sells for a mind-blowing 150,000 euro (US$196,812), however,
you’d probably want to keep it close at hand. Read More
Nissan has announced that its CARWINGS
Information and Communication Technology system (ICT) for EVs will come
as standard with the Nissan LEAF
in the U.S. and Europe. The system, which allows users to use a mobile
phone or PC to remotely check their electric vehicle’s status and
control some onboard systems at any time – even when the vehicle is
switched off – has been available to Japanese customers since 2007.
While it hasn’t been revealed who will provide the wireless connectivity
for the system in the U.S., the company has confirmed Telenor Connexion
has been chosen as the European connectivity supplier for the vehicle.

World's largest neutrino observatory completed in Antarctica
By Ben Coxworth
December 20, 2010
After five years of construction, an
international team has put the finishing touches on the University of
Wisconsin’s IceCube Neutrino Observatory.
Located in Antarctica, the observatory is looking specifically for
high-energy neutrinos, which are created in violent cosmic events such
as super novae and gamma ray bursts. As neutrinos collide with water
molecules in the pitch black, ultra-clear ice, a blue flash of light
results, which is detected by the sensors. Ever since neutrinos were
discovered in 1956, scientists have hoped to decipher the information
these astronomical messengers carry about distant cosmic events and the
completion of the observatory marks an important step towards tracing
their origins. Read More
NASA radio transcripts digitized for the web
December 20, 2010
NASA space missions have always been a source of fascination amongst the general public and films like Apollo 13
have tried to encapsulate the experience of space travel. The famous
words “Houston, we've had a problem,” uttered by Lovell on the second
day of what was to be the USA's third lunar landing mission, remains
just as famous at the aborted mission itself. Now, thanks to British
programmer Andrew Godwin, it is possible to view the actual NASA
transcripts online. Spacelog.org has published the radio transcripts of
the earliest manned NASA missions to space. Currently the site hosts the
Apollo 13 transcripts along with Mercury-Atlas 6, John Glenn's mission
aboard Friendship 7 as the first American to reach orbit. Read More
Handbuilt bicycles, draught beer, pizza and music
– chances are that almost everyone has a passion for at least one of
these things. Now, Portland, Oregon-based Metrofiets Cargo Bikes has
combined all four in an ingenious little vehicle unofficially known as
the Beer Bike. The custom-built bicycle, inspired by Dutch cargo bikes,
has space for two full-sized pressurized beer kegs, and features 50 feet
(15 meters) of cooling coils per keg, an ice tray, an inlaid wooden bar
with two beer taps, a rear rack designed for carrying pizza boxes, and a
solar-powered custom wooden boom box that mounts like a pannier. Read More
Having just recently snapped up Ion Torrent, Life
Technologies has now announced the availability of a benchtop DNA

GEAR4 UnityRemote turns iOS devices into universal remotes
By Darren Quick
December 22, 2010
UK-based GEAR4, a company better known for its iPod and iPhone audio docks,
today announced the U.S. availability of its UnityRemote that turns an
iPhone, iPod touch or iPad into a universal remote control. To get
around the fact these Apple
devices don’t pack an infrared transmitter, the GEAR4 setup consists of
an app available for free from the iTunes Store and a small cylindrical
device that receives a Bluetooth signal from an iOS device and then
sends an infrared command to control the various components of your home
entertainment setup. Read More
While plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) like the Nissan LEAF and Chevy Volt are currently making a play for eco-conscious consumers’ attention, some automobile manufacturers believe hydrogen fuel cell
vehicles are the way of the future as they can be filled-up in minutes
as opposed to the hours it takes to recharge EVs. One of the companies
set on bringing Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles to showrooms is Hyundai,
which has just completed development of its Tucson ix Fuel Cell Electric
Vehicle (FCEV). Hyundai will begin testing the vehicle next year, with
the goal of starting mass production in 2015. Read More
Presently, most automated systems can only
identify copyrighted video material if it’s a direct copy, still bearing
the unique digital signature of the original. This can sometimes be
circumvented by altering the copy, or creating the copy optically using a
video camera to shoot a movie off the screen. A new anti-piracy
technology called “video DNA matching,” however, sees past such
deception. Read More
SYNC is Ford's
in-vehicle communications and entertainment system that lets drivers
make hands-free phone calls, and control things such as their music
player via voice commands. Instead of trying to cram more and more
functions into SYNC’s virtual brain, Ford engineers have taken a more
flexible approach – they’ve created smartphone apps that drivers can
control through SYNC,
using voice commands or steering wheel buttons. Existing SYNC systems
will first require a download of the AppLink software, which will debut
on 2011 Ford Fiestas. Read More
The development of open source drivers for Microsoft's Kinect motion-controller is already opening up new (if not entirely unpredictable)
applications for the device. This example, developed by members of the
Virtopsy research project at the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the
University of Bern in Switzerland, is a functional prototype using
Kinect that provides users with a hands-free way to review radiological
images. Read More
Personal submarine
maker U-Boat Worx has commenced development work on its C-Explorer 5
submersible. Designed to send four passengers and one pilot to depths of
up to 100 meters (328 ft.), the latest member of the company’s C-Explorer line
of submersibles features a full 360-degree acrylic pressure hull to
give everyone on board clear views of the underwater sights. Read More
Our readers see more than a few eco-products
featured here on a regular basis. Very seldom, however, do we have an
opportunity to see a "big picture" vision for how an eco-friendly

Industrial Design PhD student Miguel Bruns Alonso
from the Netherlands’ Delft University of Technology has created a
prototype pen that he claims can identify short-term stress in its user,
and that can then proceed to alleviate some of that stress. The
“anti-stress pen” doesn’t measure a persons heart rate or their galvanic
skin response – instead, it detects when it’s being fidgeted with, and
gets the user to stop. Read More
Putting up outdoor Christmas lights is a hassle, especially if you end up doing it in the winter. It’s enough
of a hassle that many people just put them up once and then leave them,
but then they’re stuck with out-of-season lights on their house for the
rest of the year. A Canadian company, however, has what it thinks is
the solution to this problem in the form of LiteLocker. The lights used
in the system stand out on display at Christmas time, but fold up and
get hidden behind a protective cover once the New Year’s Eve hangover
wears off. Read More
Recreational drug usage in the wild: stoned reindeer and junkie monkeys
By Mike Hanlon
December 23, 2010
You don’t need an IQ much larger than your shoe
size to realize that humanity is forever questing for an alternative
reality. Apart from the behemoth industries peddling legalized drugs
(alcohol, tobacco and caffeine), the extraordinary profitability of
heroin, cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine and the rapidly growing
number of synthetics now constitute the single largest income stream of
criminal and terrorist organizations worldwide. Human drug usage began
at the dawn of civilization and we may have sought out the first
mind-altering substances by watching the behavior of animals which
indulged. Read More
One of the many things that Gran Turismo 5 is
particularly good at is displaying the many shortcomings of Sony's
Sixaxis and DualShock 3 controllers. Logitech's official Driving Force GT wheel
is a fantastic solution for gamers on a budget, but the small plastic
pedals leave a lot to be desired for many lounge-room racers. The latest
racing wheel with official Gran Turismo cred is the Thrustmaster T500
RS, and it looks to set the benchmark for some time. Read More
When you think of high-end amplifiers, something like the NAD Master Series M2 Direct Digital Amplifier
probably springs to mind. While not particularly unattractive, it's
clear that function has taken priority over form. Happily, French
company Devialet has injected some Parisian style into its slimline
D-Premier amplifier, with utterly gorgeous results. It's no slouch in
the sound department either, the company claiming that its
newly-developed Analogue/Digital Hybrid (ADH) amplification technology
is the next best thing to actually being in the studio or concert hall.

Researcher demonstrates vulnerabilities of mobile phones
By Alan Brandon
December 23, 2010
Hackers equipped with inexpensive radio hardware
and open source software can compromise your mobile phone, listen to
your conversations, intercept your data, or rack up huge bills on
premium services, all without you knowing. Ralf-Philipp Weinmann, a
cryptologist at the University of Luxembourg Laboratory of Cryptology
and Security, has discovered a new type of over-the-air attack on mobile
phones, and at the 2010 DeepSec conference in Vienna demonstrated how
the exploit could be used against nearly any mobile phone. Read More
Remember a simpler time when people used mobile
phones to make calls? When just about everyone owned a Nokia, and most
of those were a model with cutting-edge features like an internal
antenna, vibrate call alert and the facility to create your own
ringtones? If you're too young to remember the iconic Nokia 3210 or were
too set in your ways to own a mobile back in the dark ages of the late
1990s, then a French company called Lëkki is now offering you a second
chance. Refurbished and revamped, there are currently two legendary
phones on offer as part of the company's Back to Basics ethic. Read More
Stairscraper gives apartment dwellers taste of suburbia
By Darren Quick
December 22, 2010
One of the big drawbacks for high-rise living is
the lack of outdoor space, which in the best case is usually limited to a
small balcony, or in the worst cases a window flowerbox ... or nothing
at all. An innovative skyscraper design by Barcelona-based firm Nabito
Architects solves this problem with a corkscrew design that makes the
roof of the unit below an outdoor space for the unit above. Read More
BAE Systems has presented the fruits of its
Future Protected Vehicle program (FPV) to the U.K. Ministry of Defence,
and it's an intiguing glimpse of the what we can expect to see in
tomorrow's high-tech battlefield. With input from over 35 organizations,
the FPV study is aimed at identifying "innovative technologies and
concepts for short, medium and long term exploitation into future
lightweight land platforms." Hundreds of new technologies were canvassed
in the study and seven platform concept vehicles have been floated to
showcase the most significant of these, including the use of electronic
ink camouflage systems, microwave weapons, floating electro-magnetic
armor and a type of mechanical "sweat" that reduces thermal signature.

With cameras pretty much standard equipment on
mobile phones nowadays, a lot of people don’t bother with the extra
hassle of carrying around a separate one, even if it means sacrificing
picture quality for convenience. While we can’t comment on the picture
quality, the Poco PRO from Iain Sinclair certainly seems to tick the
right boxes in the specs department and won’t be too much trouble to
cart around thanks to its credit card-like dimensions. Read More
Australian climate and ocean scientists are
studying some of the planet's most remote areas using a multi-million
dollar array of high-tech underwater equipment that provides data vital
for the monitoring of almost one-third of the world's oceans. The kit of
technology includes sensor floats and autonomous underwater vehicles,
which combine with sensor tagged animals, moored scientific stations and
satellite remote sensing to form the Integrated Marine Observing System
(IMOS). All data collected is made available online, which represents a
big step forward in climate science. Gizmag's Grant Banks takes a
closer look at what makes IMOS tick. Read More
Top 10 things you CAN'T have for Christmas 2010
By Gizmag Team
December 22, 2010
It's getting a little late for a last minute
Christmas shopping list, but not to worry, most of us outside the Forbes
Top 100 couldn't afford any of these anyway! Still, it's fascinating to
look at what's possible if the word "budget" isn't in your vocabulary,
so here's our annual look
at what you won't be getting for Christmas this year – the most
outrageous examples of high-end overkill that have graced Gizmag's pages
throughout 2010. Read More
In the beginning, the language of the World Wide
Web was English. Times change though, and the United States’ military’s
gift to civilization knows no national boundaries, and growing worldwide
adoption of the Internet has changed the audience make-up to such an
extent that the dominant language of the internet is about to become
Chinese. That’s not to say the Chinese are all that comfortable with
this either. There has just been an official decree requiring the use of
Chinese translations for all English words and phrases in newspapers,
magazines and web sites. While all countries have watched the
unregulated global nature of the internet erode traditional cultural
values and the integrity of national languages, it seems the Chinese
powers-that-be have concluded that the purity of the Chinese language
needs to be preserved. Read More
Education and inspiration via underwater robot
By Ben Coxworth
December 26, 2010
If you like gadgets, and you like the ocean, then
you must like ROVs – it’s just that simple. For the uninitiated, ROVs
(Remote Operated Vehicles) are small unmanned submarines that are used
for underwater operations deemed too deep, dangerous or difficult for
human divers. They’re tethered to a support ship, from which a human
operator controls them in real time, watching a live video feed from an
onboard camera. It’s all incredibly appealing to those of us who are
fascinated by the prospect of what secrets lurk beneath the surface of
the ocean... or of the local pond. A few dedicated souls go so far as to
trying to create their own homebuilt ROVs, many of them turning to what
has become the bible on the subject, Build Your Own Underwater Robot and other Wet Projects.
Gizmag had a chance to talk to the two authors of the book, and found
out what inspired them to pursue such an unlikely project. Read More
Because conventional photovoltaic
panels produce electricity directly from sunlight, the energy they
generate must either be used as it is produced or stored – either in
batteries or by using the electricity to produce a fuel that acts as a
storage medium for the energy. Now U.S. and Swiss researchers have
developed a prototype device that directly converts the Sun’s rays into
fuels that can be stored, allowing the energy to be used at night or
transported to locations where it is needed. Read More
Mosquito trap targets females laying their eggs
By Ben Coxworth
December 24, 2010
After malaria, dengue fever is the most serious
mosquito-borne disease in the world. In an effort to curb its spread,
researchers from New Orleans’ Tulane University School of Public Health
and Tropical Medicine have developed mosquito traps that attract and
kill egg-bearing females. Using a US$4.6 million grant from The Bill
& Melinda Gates Foundation, the scientists plan to distribute 10,000
of the traps in Peru’s Iquitos region, an area known for dengue fever.

The worldwide shortage of clean drinking water is
a serious problem, although in many cases there’s a relatively simple
solution – just leave the tainted water outside in clear plastic
bottles, and let the sun’s heat and ultraviolet rays purify it. This
approach is known as SODIS
(SOlar DISinfection of water in plastic bottles), and it removes 99.9
percent of bacteria and viruses – results similar to those obtained by
chlorine. Unfortunately, however, there’s been no reliable way of
knowing when the water has reached a safe level of purity. Now,
four engineering students from the University of Washington have
created a simple, inexpensive device that does just that... and they won
US$40,000 in the process. Read More

Man-made muscle fibers help scientists understand strain on plastics
By Ben Coxworth
December 23, 2010
Scientists tasked with creating better plastic
films have been at a loss when it comes to observing how synthetic
polymers react under mechanical stress – the polymers are just too small
for a microscope to keep track of while being stretched. Now a team of
physicists from Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) has come up with a
solution. They’re using a muscle filament protein to build polymer
networks that can be observed by a microscope, and by doing so
have already determined why some polymers get tougher with repeated
stress, while others get softer. Read More
The HybriDrive series propulsion system developed by BAE Systems
is currently enhancing the fuel efficiency and cutting emissions on
more than 3,000 transit buses in cities around the world, including New York and London.
The system is specifically suited to the driving patterns of urban
transport, which involve low average speeds and frequent stopping and
starting. To meet the needs of applications that have higher operating
speeds and less frequent stops, BAE is developing a new parallel hybrid
propulsion system to bring the fuel-saving benefits of its technology to
medium and heavy-duty trucks. Read More
If you want to obtain moving images of high-speed
molecular processes at an atomic scale, one of the best facilities in
the world is the X-ray Free Electron Laser (X-FEL) at Stanford
University. Should you wish to use it, however, you’ll have get on a
waiting list, then bring your materials to its California home once it’s
your turn. If you’re thinking of building your own, you’d better start
saving now – Stanford’s laser reportedly cost several hundred million
dollars to build, and the cost of a new European X-FEL has been set at
one billion euro (US$1.3 billion). Researchers from the Netherlands’
Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), however, have recently
announced the development of a tabletop “poor man’s X-FEL.” It performs
some of the same key functions as the big laser, but costs under half a
million euro (US$656,006). Read More
