NO need to fetch ever again.
A 25-year old US inventor, Ryan
Rusnak, has created yet another
reason not to get off the couch, a
‘Beer Bot’.
The Bot is basically a fridge,
which when activated via an
iPhone App shoots a can of beer
out of its icy chill and into the
hands of its owner.
Webcams installed in the front
of the fridge allow the beer drinker
to aim the Bot’s cannon towards
the precise location it is desired.
SAY goodbuy to long walks forever.
A Chinese man, Zhao Xueqin,
has created the world’s first pair of
“electric shoes”, which when
activated propels users forward at
a max speed of 15kms.
The ‘shoes’ are similar to
electric roller-skates, and can run
continuously for up to three hours,
feature brakes, headlights,
indicators and brake lights.
Xueqin told reporters that he
created the shoes so that kids in
rural areas wouldn’t have to walk
three hours to school every day.
NOT a natural phenomenon.
Scientists baffled by the sudden colour change of the Goldstream River in British Columbia, have uncovered the reason for the transformation, fluorescein. The river, a known tourist haunt because of its natural beauty, appeared to change from its usual clear colour to bright green over the course of an hour, leaving visitors to the area stunned. The colour lasted for around three hours before the river once again ran clear. Subsequent testing of the water found that fluorescein (a fluorescent tracer) had been added to the water. Fortunately no fish or animals were harmed as a result of the colourful addition. It is not yet known who dyed the river green.
