Polarion have created an amazing flash light which boasts a 5000 lumen bulb inside. That’s a hefty 1000 lumen’s brighter then the model below. The torch has a battery life of 80 minutes which I think is fairly impressive considering it’s a few times brighter then your home projector. Newer batteries will be made available also which will increase the usage time per charge.

The beam thrown by the Polarion PG50 is 1 mile and can be used for various things such as a searchlight. The Polarion’s will set you back just short of $2200.

If you are geeky and calculators are your thing then maybe you need to step back a bit and check out the Curta Calculator. It was built in 1948 by Curt Herzstark. It is capable of all the basic functions of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. If you are very clever you can also get it to work out square roots too. It uses a cylinder with numbers placed around this cylinder. Below you will find a video of the Curta Calculator being used.

I just spotted a cool advert on TV this evening which is named Honda – Problem Playground. It uses a ton of Rubiks cubes for the advert which are built in to a wall. The pattern left on the wall is of the new Honda Hybrid engine. It’s worth checking out and can be seen below.

Bucky Reed probably wont be the most popular person when he unleashes his TV-B-Gone while watching super bowl at some public place. The TV-B-Gone is a device which switches off almost any TV at the push of a button. It works by using 4 infrared LED’s which transmit all the off codes for all TV’s. Anything you point it at will be switched off successfully unless the IR sensor is covered up. Bucky has custom built it and is trying to fit it in to his Nokia phone to keep most people unaware it was him who did it.

Students at the university of Michigan have created a solar powered car named the Continuum which is capable of speeds up to 90MPH. To achieve that the car is built as slim and light as possible to reduce weight and drag. The solar system which generates power to the wheels has had an upgrade from previous similar models and it uses parabolic mirrors to concentrate the suns energy. A number of previous versions required the driver to lay down so the car could be as flat as possible. This version manages to allow the driver sit down, and still reach a fairly impressive top speed.
