Reppo II - The Urban Boombox Backpack

Posted Tuesday, March 25th, 2008 by Alex Ion

Reppo II Boombox Backpack

I don’t know why but the urban boombox backpack reminds me of those backpacks dispensers for beer. Probably because it involves some sort of mobile-party? Yeah, that’s it. Designer Joonas Saaranen is responsible for drawing the Reppo II, which is an urban hardshell backpack with built-in speakers. Make a small place to keep your beer and this would be the ultimate gadget when you go out with your buddies.

Top Gun: Real pilot seat for flight simulators

Posted Monday, March 24th, 2008 by Alex Ion

Mk. 5 ejection seatIf you’re serious with flight simulators and you’re a good pilot with $15,560 on hand, this seat is for you. Believe me when I tell you this is exactly what you need if you want to prove you’re a good. It’s a , completely restored Mk. 5 ejection seat by legendary Martin-Baker (ejection seat and escape system technology) and can withstand 40 G deceleration loads.

The chair you see in the picture is the original with cushions and harness (won’t get these when you buy it) that will make a perfect gift for yourself, obviously.

Fighter jets like the Grumman Cougar, the Grumman A6 Intruded, the Mirage, the Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star, the F-8 Crusader or the F11 Tiger are just a few examples of the many planes that used the Mk. 5 ejection seat.

For $15,560 this is how it looks.

Solar-powered portable media player

Posted Friday, March 21st, 2008 by Mihnea Boiangiu

I agree with ecologists and energy preserving, so I want to make you aware about sun’s free energy that is out there. Thus, I want to greet the manufacturers of the eMotion Solar PMP.

eMotion Solar PMP

This gadget has a built-in solar battery charger so you won’t run out of juice. Its storage can upset some people because it has only 1GB internal memory and support only 2GB SD card. I think its performances can’t meet the market’s needs. The EM-SOL1GIG PMP supports MP1, MP2, MP3, WMA, WAV, ADPCM, AMR music files, AVI and MPEG4 video files and also JPEG, BMP, GIF for viewing photos.

Its screen of 320 x 240 pixels can offer a decent gaming experience for old school boys. Furthermore the device features an e-book reader and USB 2.0. The package includes a charger adapter for other electronic devices such as mobiles, cameras, music players. Protect the environment and go for it!

Buy it here for $159.

HalfMoon Chair is for Batman

Posted Thursday, March 20th, 2008 by Alex Ion

Halfmoon chair, or the batman chair

Designer Louis Saul is responsible for building the HalfMoon Chair, which as you can see from this angle looks like the place where Batman watches movies, doesn’t it? Another point of view is that the Batman chair has a skeleton-like design with cushions made from bright orange sponge rubber. Looks a lot like six-pack abs, doesn’t it? Oh, last thing I like is that the chair has storage space for books. I wonder if Batman was reading books …
