The Plasma ball has been around for years. They used to cost an arm and a leg if I remember correctly and then they dropped in price quite a bit. For those who need their plasma ball fix you can now get a USB version which works just like a regular plasma ball that is plugged in. The USB port can provide sufficient power to light up the gasses inside and create a dazzling display of plasma type stuff.

The USB plasma ball stands about 6 inches tall and can be switched on and off by either unplugging it or by the switch located on the base. All we need now is the USB Plasma Ball Flash Drive with cosmic data fragments floating around inside.

NetGurus came across a cool little 4GB USB mass storage device that looks like a stone. Apparently it will share similar properties to an actual stone (meaning it will hurt if you chuck it at someone). Hopefully all that hard protection will push it in to the rugged category of USB devices.

The drive is made from synthetic resin and it will measure 53 x 40 x 25mm. Looks great to me 🙂

Slava Tyukalov decided it would be cool to go and create USB flash drive that is ultra tough as well as waterproof, shock resistant, vibration resistant and also anti static proof. Along comes this device which is built from graphite and aluminium which is then coated in titanium to add extra strength. Only 100 of these will be made and will come in 1Gb and 2Gb sizes. The videos after the jump show the static test and crushing test and are well worth watching.
