Click And Grow A Veggie Patch

The company behind the Smart Herb Garden we reviewed back in 2014 has launched a new indoor garden on Kickstarter. The Click & Grow 25 system promises to grow “substantial amounts of greens for everyday use, without becoming a time-consuming hobby.” “I started the company with a dream to make fresh food available and accessible for everyone and with the […]

Hybrid Weight System

Most home-use weight sets include both dumbbells and barbells with interchangeable plates, perhaps along with something like a kettlebell. The Hyperbell system is different, in that it allows a set of dumbbells to serve all three purposes. Manufactured by Utah-based startup Jayflex, Hyperbell is designed for use with third-party dumbbells (for the uninitiated, those are the ones that you lift […]

Geologie Skincare For Men 

Okay guys, it’s time to buck up and admit it. You’re a little jealous that women are getting all the attention. Why should they be the only ones who benefit from skincare products that help revitalize their skin, allowing them to glow and generally look younger? But really, there’s no reason you can’t get in on the action. We know […]

Fibre Optics Tether Could Let ROVs Launch From Boat

Even though underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are getting smaller, their communications cables have remained relatively fat and hefty. That may about to change, though, thanks to a new fishing-line-based fiber optic tether. Although wireless systems are in the works, ROVs presently have to be hard-wired to their surface-located human operators. This is accomplished via a cable/tether that transmits commands […]

Ebo Roaming Robot Body

Robots are invading our homes more and more, but (so far at least) their intentions seem nice, as they vacuum our floors, watch for intruders or keep our pets company. Enabot’s latest home robot looks to give video calls a bit more mobility, letting remote users drop in, roam around and chat. Ebo is basically a webcam on wheels, wrapped […]

Customisable and Repairable Framework Laptop

Earlier this year we featured a refreshing idea to make a 13.5-inch laptop that’s designed to be easily customized, upgraded and repaired by users. Ahead of its launch, Framework has now revealed more details. As we remarked in our earlier coverage, as laptops have got thinner and more powerful, it’s become more difficult for the average user to get under […]

Anti-Rollover Coupling Save Trucks 

Big trucks tip over rather more often than you might expect. Whether because of high winds, driver error or the frequently baffling behavior of other road users, roughly 9,000 injuries and 400 American deaths per year are the direct result of rollover accidents involving class-8 semi trucks. That’s more deaths than roofers, airline pilots, loggers, garbage men and oil derrick […]

HydroFlyer E-Foil 

Electric hydrofoils are gaining in popularity, with a number of companies now offering fun and environmentally-friendly ways to skim across the open water. South African firm Unifoil has just introduced a new take on this with an interesting point of difference, featuring a set of handlebars that offer more control and faster riding, while also softening the learning curve for […]
