Backpack Bar

Backpack Bar

This was allways something that I joked with my friends about building but never did it. I guess someone else had the same idea and actualy constructed one…

The backpack portable bar is an extremely portable CO2 powered alcohol and soda delivery system in the form of a self-contained backpack bar. The portable bar will dispense 2 types of soda (a total of 5 liters) and 4 types of alcohol (a total of 4 pints). Equipped with a standard bar dispensing nozzle that attaches to the server’s arm, a full range of drinks can be served.

It’s for sale if you want one of your very own.

F-18 Simulator

F-18 Sim

We all know that almost every guy wants to have their very own flight simulator in the living room. For far too long that has just been a dim dream by all of us, but now its a reality.

The New F-18E package includes these standard features:

  • All aluminum interior/structural parts
  • New backlit panel assemblies
  • New floor mounted center control stick
  • New main wiring harness
  • USB computer interface
  • Discrete or RS-232 wiring interfaces
  • New all aluminum NACES simulated ejection seat

    • If thats not enough for you, you can buy a F-16 cockpit simulator that is on a 3-axis hydraulic motion platform! I hope the surfaces are easy to clean…

    Star Trek Lifeform Scanner!

    Now this is nifty, I wonder if this uses some of the technology that was pioneered at Lawrence Livermore Labs a few years ago.

    Japanese geological research firm Oyo will launch this month a handheld radar system that rescuers can use to locate people that are alive but unmoving and trapped under rubble.
    The system can pinpoint the location and the depth of persons who are breathing by detecting the electromagnetic waves that reflect back from their moving chests.
    To use the system, wireless antennas are placed at the search site to send out signals and capture the signals that reflect back. This information is relayed to the handheld radar reader, which analyzes the data and displays moving objects as black dots and living but immobile persons as red dots. Each antenna can search an area of 1 square meter to a depth of around 4.5 meters. A single radar analyzer can read the signals from as many as 30 antennas.

    Start Your Heart On A Cold Day

    Home Automated External Defibrillator

    I’ve seen these popping up in public places fr a while now, in fact I saw one of these in the lobby of my office just the other day. The one at my office is in a big white box that says “For Trained Personal Only”. I thought the point of the whole thing was that untrained people were supposed to use this… Anyway this is a wonderful life saving device. When used, the device will issues verbal instructions on how to use itself and will diagnose the patient to determine if a jolt to the heart is needed or not. Could be what keeps the victim off the slab and out the door.
