He has developed a wrist-mounted death-device or flamethrower that exclusively imitates Pyro, a super star with an ability to monitor (albeit cannot create) and hence you have an out product called a flamey little wrist toy. He designed this device via a remote lighter attached to a rushed liquid fuel tank. Truly, a remarkable one! Check out the various pyrotastic videos:

Folks, I cannot buy this argument that wearable chairs have lost its importance today as it was patented almost 30 years ago. Take a deep peep into the product and you would realize it is as haute today as it was ages back. Probably its appeal and recognition has got its worthy recognition today as the Gen X welcomes innovation unlike our predecessors.

This chair is strapped on the backside of your legs and offers you a comfy seat wherever you want to sit. This would be your savior when you enter an overpopulated conference room or plays a trick by peeking into the movie theater. The inventor of this chair Darcy Robert Bonner filed a patent for it on 7 May1977 for 14-good years.

In the mid way this product was lost somewhere. Now that it has again reached the limelight, it should be picked as an opportunity to turn this dream into reality.

Another concept-based toy for kids but may turn a serious weapon for the health-conscious gentry. Production of gadgets featuring time or message via swiftly vacillating wand preset with tiny LEDs is a passé. Designer Jacky Wu has behaved smartly by implementing this technology to a skipping rope (jumping rope). They say this sensible device keeps a record of every jump and thus features calories burnt within a particular time period via built-in LEDs.

And as a result you have a chimera with a feel that someone is countering in the mid air. It could be a bit too much for all heavy-weights as it may put them in pitiful situation by keeping a low count of their jumps. Say what may but I strongly doubt this concept turning into reality for obvious reasons. Firstly, the smacking of rope with the ground would disturb the intactness of the LEDs. And fortunately, if they happen to function well then constant rubbing on the ground would offer a blur image to read.
